Anyone using their Q to access Yahoo Mail thru Pop3?

In addition to my exchange server / corporate email, I have a personal Yahoo Premium email account. I'm scratching my head at the moment on how to enable this... Looked thru the Yahoo FAQ's, but not sure how to proceed.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

I'm using it for POP3, and it works well.

Thanks! This helped alot.

Now I have another problem. I configured the Yahoo pop3 to check just todays emails, but it's searching my entire inbox of 5000 messages! I've gone back and reconfigured for today, last three days, last 5 days and each time it wants to blast through ALL emails.

Any suggestions?

Can't help you there - I configured mine with a POP3 account that had recently been cleared out by my PC outlook - so I only had a few messages there.

I would think that the "last x days" setting would check the mail message - but it may actually check some sort of flag which indicates the last time you synced-up. If it's the latter - maybe it considers all of these messages as "new". Just a guess... but maybe you can pick the "only the header" option on the Q, and then just let it go through it's paces.

Hopefully you have an unlimited data plan ;)

One suggestion you may want is not to use pocket outlook to view your yahoo email, but the web browser.

Here is a link to the PDA formated version of Yahoo Mail. It works really well!
