excellent for 1.0.0 apps. thank you!!

Please support older platforms. I have a G1 and I am a long time Yahoo Mail user, even paid Mail Plus for a few years, and now I can’t use Yahoo Mail ’cause my Android OS is 1.6

BTW: I didn’t renew my Mail Plus subscription because when I started to use the mobile web interface, I got ads even being a Mail Plus subscriber, so no point on paying for no ads.

Thanks!

Access to Mail and Contacts is good, but what about the Calendar?

pls take care of android 1.6 users (a lot), thanks!

Please add a button to check outside accounts in the web app. I need it to check my university mail account. Even better would be to have it periodically check on it’s own. I really like all the html5 additions.

Love the app, thank you, please add ‘check other mail’ and it’ll be a slam dunk!

Both the email and messaging apps are working great on my Android Sprint EVO phone. It’s nice to finally be able to access my email folders like I could on my Pre (although a little annoying as a paying Plus email user that I can’t just enter the IMAP info into the Android email client and thus just have one app).

A couple of quick questions on Messenger: how do you log out/off without physically “killing” the app, and are there any plans to add video chat support for phones like the EVO?

Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. We are working hard to bring you the best user experience. In fact, an update release addressing some of your initial feedback is now available via the Android Market. Please update the app and let us know what you think.

I just got an HTC Incredible and have a couple of suggestions for Yahoo! Mail … would like to have the capability to delete emails from the handheld only and still keep them in Yahoo Mail. Also, I can’t find a way to log out of Yahoo! Mail … I have to remove the account. For Yahoo! Messenger … would like to have the capability to save messages. I was able to do these things on my Blackberry.

Would appreciate the option to NOT remember my username/password for Messenger after I sign out. As it is now (unless I’m missing something), when re-launch after signing out, even if I use Task-Killer, my username and password are preloaded into the sign-in boxes.

Sort of defeats the purpose of a password!

Kevin,

Thanks for your feedback. Upon signing out of Yahoo! Messenger, you will be prompted with the log-in screen. Please manually erase your log-in name before existing. The password should also be erased automatically. This will ensure the next time you launch the app, your log-in name and password does not get pre-populated.

Thanks,
Yahoo! Android Team

Does messenger use up my txts?

July 18th, 2010 at 5:48 am

I can not sign out from yahoo mail for android apps.
This is for me a security issue.
I do not feel my mails secure enough.
It is very-very important to get empty login and pasword prompts after each start of the application! (exept the user wanted to keep sign in)
I’m sure there is a solution for this.
Please help!

Thanks,
Istvan

Hi Anthony,

No, Yahoo! Messenger does not use up your SMS/text. The only time SMS message is automatically sent is for account verification after you register for a new Yahoo! account. The SMS message sent via the Yahoo! Messenger client does not use up your SMS/text either.

Thanks,
Yahoo! Android Team

Love, love, love it! Been waiting forever for this. Always needed access to all my folders and going to internet browser then ,mobile Y, then …. y’know, was a drag. Now, can you make my Calendar just as mobile? Nobody, nobody, has as user-friendly, interactive calendar as Yahoo, 1 click, then everything at my fingertips, tasks, notepad-just tab. Google?! A widget for everything, I hate it! Pls make it just as portable, I love my Yahoo and never want to give it up, don’t make me go to Apple or Google. Thx!

July 20th, 2010 at 5:58 pm

Thanks for the response…..I figured yahoo wouldn’t let me down!

Unfortunately not all manufacturers & carriers upgrade their android phones in a timely manner (or maybe they can’t). Therefore I think you’re missing out on a large part of your potential android customers by having a min. version of 2.0.

please create an app that syncs my yahoo contacts and calendar with the android phone!!!

August 7th, 2010 at 1:26 am

Should be added as my second email account as soon as possible!

August 17th, 2010 at 10:17 pm

I can not find these in the Android market. Nor can I find them from scanning…HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

August 20th, 2010 at 11:56 am

Would love to be able to save/email messenger conversations, this was very easy on the BB. If there could be an slimmed down options menu like the PC version, that would be great!

I have a Samsung Behold 2 that I love but we do not have 2.0, 2,1, or 2.2 software so I can’t use this app.
I saw it on a friends phone & would love to use this. Some Companies running 1.6 have said they won’t be updating certain phones. Please make it for those of us running lower O.S.
