Hi,

Well, first of all I would like share that last week i got My HTC Desire handset, luckily got good package.

Being new to Android OS, i had spent some time to know inside out of the OS and off course my new device HTC Desire. I was setting up my email accounts and all went well, until I have to set up my yahoo email account.

People were saying different things like you need yahoo plus account to set up yahoo mail on android even some one was talking about Google snatcher to get yahoo emails into Google account and then from there you got Gmail access any way. Seems like long winded process.

I have followed these simple 1-2-3 steps to set-up my yahoo email on my HTC Desire handset without any problem and I think it will work with any Android handset.

Followed these steps

1) Change your location to Yahoo Asia (only yahoo Asia account gives you free access to yahoo POP mail otherwise you have to pay for it.

2) Now go your account settings and enable pop option, by default this option is disabled.

3) Now setup yahoo account on your Android device, that’s it.

It should not give any authentication failed error now, if it does log off your yahoo account to make sure new settings take effect. There you go, we have done here. You should be able to receive mails now.

I have tried and it worked.

 Enjoy!
