- Yahoo Mail on the Playbook is still a disaster. Does anyone besides me think it should be addressed in the next OS? It doesn't sync, it doesn't let you use folders, the windows are crappy and it doesn't let you assign junk mail. Yech. I'm not moving to gmail yet...but this needs to be fixed on the PB for me to use my email at all on the device.05-15-12 05:25 PMLike 0

Maybe one of the next 3 CEOs within the next year will fix it. lolanon(1852343) likes this.05-15-12 10:28 PMLike 1 - I use the paid Yahoo mail. I generally like Yahoo mail compare to others and it's my first email address I made.
I don't have problems, just the occasionally password prompt. Granted you only can access the inbox. It's the same access you get on the phone.
I agree with rants that you can't mark certain messages as spam and I don't mind folders but would like remote email search. I also don't understand that Yahoo is left out of the other services like contacts and calendar.05-15-12 11:54 PMLike 0 - I use the paid Yahoo mail.

So now I am looking for an e-mail service that I am willing to pay for.
like:
reagan.com for 3.33 a month or hushmail.com free and pro for 9.99 a month etc
I'm leaning towards the three bucks a month deal and just use the sbcglobal.net account for spam and disposable mail. Maybe the other service can push mail to the PB?
Still learning will look into it.05-16-12 11:06 PMLike 0 -
I was wondering how you emailed me and now I know so I shut that off.Last edited by maxknux; 05-18-12 at 09:26 AM.

If I have any complaint at all it's that I can't access the folders I created but that's it. Yahoo needs to figure out what the heck is going on here.05-18-12 11:00 AMLike 0
- As of just lately, my pb asks me for the password to my yahoo account. I dont know what the problem is exactly, and I dont really use yahoo, just a dummy account, but seeing as nothing has changed with the playbook, I must assume something changed with yahoo. I may be wrong but this is what i conclude.05-18-12 01:21 PMLike 0
- It is with great interest that I read this thread on Yahoo mail issues with the Playbook as I have some issues with my paid yahoo account emails on the playbook. I have found that if I am on any WiFi network except the one in my own home, I can get my yahoo email without any issues. At home, it fails to pull the emails in. My home network is Verizon DSL. Verizon tells me that they do not block any ports. Yahoo help center and the Blackberry Support staff tell me to try some alternate ports but this does not solve the issue. The last item I need to check is my own router to see if it is set up to block certain ports. I too have had my Yahoo email account for many years so even though the free gmail accounts are superior to my paid yahoo account, I prefer not to have to change. I will probably be changing away from Verizon DSL as the price has crept up over the past year and Time Warner offers faster and cheaper service.
At any rate, I consistently have no issues popping my yahoo emails on most networks. This tells me that my settings are correct on the Playbook. My calendar and contacts have never had an issue but I do not use them much. I use the gmail calendar and contacts because my personal phone is an android.Last edited by BikingInTheSun; 05-18-12 at 09:20 PM. Reason: Adding an Update

I reset it to off and the imap starting connecting and working perfectly. Obviously I did not want to leave the firewall off. After testing the low and medium settings, I determined that only low would work unless I modified some settings. I set the firewall on medium and added port 993 as a rule for the playbook only. This is working perfectly!05-18-12 09:24 PMLike 0
- Sorry to hear that. I have no problems on 7.1 and the only issue on OS2 is that the address book dose not sync with the PB's address book. The Yahoo "app" via the browser works very well in 2.0.
RIM says Yahoo acknowledges the address book is their problem and they may try to fix it.
Update. My yahoo address have started to sync into the pb's contact app. It now shows all my yahoo address book. Not sure just when this was fixed. Maybe i will get my folders as well some day. May 20 2012Last edited by BlazorBoy; 05-20-12 at 04:36 AM.

- I also don't see my folders in the Messages app. I am thinking the issue if any must be on the BB side, since they sync perfectly in iOS Mail.09-11-12 10:54 PMLike 0
