Yahoo Mail on the Q.

So if you have a regular Yahoo Mail account, the only way to check your email is through IE on the Q.
But I'm not able to Reply/Delete/FWD etc from the IE browser. It doesn't want to highlight those little blue buttons up top. What's the alternative?

Not true!

I get my Yahoo email delivered to my phone automatically, every 15 minutes. All you need to do is set up a pop3 email account following the prompts for information the phone will take you through. If you need assistance figuring out where to get the information the Q is asking you for, Yahoo is pretty good about online help.
Good Luck

You need to PAY for pop service, you can not use Yahoo mail to POP unless you pay $19.95 a year. Since you pay for it you can POP it to your phone every 15 minutes. The original poster does not, so her can NOT POO email every 15 minutes. There is no other way to get Yahoo mail with out paying $19.95 a year for Mail Plus with POP access....

OOPS! 🤭
Your'e right! I was assuming the original poster knew that they had to pay the $19.95 / year in order to have POP3 access to their Yahoo email.

Not that Im setting up a commercial for Yahoo....
But if you choose Yahoo as your email client, $19.95 a year buys you a ton of value in addition to having your mail automatically delivered to your phone

Ur right. I do not have the yearly plan. This would be very easy to do if I just fork out the 19.95/year. But I havent really seen the value in that service.

What do we get from Yahoo that is better than gmail??

Quick question for you. I have POP access to my Yahoo as well on the Q. However I configured it to just download "TODAYS" emails, but then it started to download my entire backlog of 2000+ emails in my inbox that I packratted. Any idea why its not sticking to just todays emails? Also is there a way to do IMAP with Yahoo?

Also is there an opion to leave emails on the server? Cant find it.

Eric,

Just like any other accounnt you might have on the Q. It will only download as per your request (Today's/3 Days etc.)

But during the first sync., it actually goes through the entire email database. Why? I dont know 🙄
