Has anyone used Yahoo Messenger on the XDA? I have it installed and running, but can't connect to the Yahoo server. Any advice?

I have used YM (on the XDA in the UK on O2), you need to set it up using the proxy server.

It does work but the software itself seems to close itself, apart from sometimes getting offline messages, i didn't see any increased benefit over MSN messenger

It won't because that IP address is for a specific provider. Try searching at your providers website for proxy server adresses and subsitute those.

I would love to get Yahoo Messenger working on my XDA with o2! Is this possible? I looked on the Yahoo site for a download but doesn't seem to be one there.

Any help appreciated

I am having the same problem also.
I have entered the Orange DNS server settings as the Proxy: these are 192.168.071.035 and port 80.

Has it worked?? Not a chance.

Anyone know the correct settings for Orange UK?


BTW - there is a piece of software called IMOV which is a single IM environment for Yahoo, MSN and AOL. Get it here: http://www.movsoftware.com/products/imov/imov.htm

The only yahoo messenger client for Pocket PC I found is an old old version (for wince 2.11)
http://messenger.yahoo.com/messenger/ce/downloads_ce_msgr.html
I can connect sometimes, but the software seems to close itself :?
I don't know if yahoo developers plan to develop a updated version ?
Would be great as all my contacts are under yahoo messenger.

visit www.yahoo.Co.uk click on the messenger link then look at the left of the screen. there is a link to wincE versions and open that will show you 2 versions. 1 for ppc 2002 and 1 for older wince versions.
However the problems listed above regarding servers and ports should be noted.
