You can also try the Yahoo app from the Play Store and see if it works for you.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

Hello Mtg6200,

Thank you for post. You mentioned that your error was "Invalid MDN", do you have a 3g/4g signal at the top left of your phone? Are you able to access other email accounts? or the web?

Usually, the most common error for the Yahoo issue is "username and password incorrect". I do agree with Ann. With Yahoo we recommend downloading the Yahoo application from the Google Play Store called "Yahoo Mail" to access your email. The application will add an icon on the screen that will look just like a email inbox. It seems that certain Yahoo accounts have issues communicating with Droid devices, which is why you are unable to add it on the device.

I have also found that if you go into your full site Yahoo you are able to add access to allow it on your device. Here are the steps:

1. Log into your Yahoo account on desktop/laptop/tablet/android web

2. Click on mail, then Options

3. Select Mail options, then  POP & Forwarding

4. Click on 'Access Yahoo! Mail via POP'

This will allow you to get the email stock application to work with Yahoo.

Please let us know if any additional help is need.
