[Q] CM6 (Yahoo Account)

[ogkhaze]

I have CM6 installed on my DInc, I set up my Google Account, but I can't get my Yahoo account set up. It keeps saying "Invalid username or password" - but it is correct.

Any ideas?

yahoo for some reason syncs only over 3g, not wifi. there is a workaround by changing the smtp server settings etc. search the forum and you will find it.

Dang, I've been searching for a while, before I post this, I can't find anything.

EDIT:

Do I just do this?

Yes. I believe that's it. It should work over wifi too
