I have searched and searched, tried and tried, but cannot get my yahoo email on my phone. What can I do? I have not had any luck at all. Where can I find step by step instructions? Thanks in advance.
Yahoo! Mail setup

I just entered my email address and password, it pulled the settings from yahoo. Why do you need to manually set it up?
You don't. But he's having issues, so maybe that will help. Mine worked fine with default setup.
Also if your on the paid version of Yahoo mail, use the plus.

Yahoo Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - smtp.mail.yahoo.com

I am located in the USA. I have AT&T service. I upgraded from windows mobile 6.5 in which I had the same problem. I just learned to deal with it with the 6.5 but now as I am paying all this money each month I want what I pay for and I can't get my Yahoo email then I don't feel that I should have to pay.
I put these in exactly as they are here, but I still get an error.
incoming email server:
winmo.imap.mail.yahoo.com:993:1
outgoing server
winmo.smtp.mail.yahoo.com:465:1
What else can I do?

Why do you want to use POP mail when WP7 already supports IMAP for Yahoo mail? BTW, Yahoo already fixed their IMAP server so data usage should not be a problem anymore.
Hmm....I'm not sure. I haven't had any issues with my Yahoo setup the 3 times I've done it. Try removing the account, restarting your phone, and going through the setup again. If that doesn't work, when you go to add an account, go to "add other" and try it that way. Other than that, I'm not sure why it isn't working.
I found the problem! After calling AT&T, Yahoo, & LG,
I found the problem! I had a space in my password. I changed my password online and put the new password on the phone and it worked! So take note of this:

what is the advantage of a paid yahoo acct? Didn't know they even still did paid email accts.

Interesting. Very suprised yahoo would let you use a space in your password, most won't.
Glad you got it figured out.
