Wont sync Yahoo mail

[dkp23]

Anybody having issues with yahoo mail not syncing? Gmail, outlook seem to sync fine, but yahoo not syncing properly. It will stay on syncing under email and accounts then says attention required. I put in my password and wont login, the pw is correct as well.

any help?

edit: Nevermind, you cant have the same yahoo email configured to two seperate phones. Erased on my other, works on this one. Problem solved

How did you find out you can't sync 1 yahoo account to multiple phones? My wife has the same problem but didn't know what was causing it.

I had a 920 I had been using and then was sent a replacement. So when I tried to configure yahoo mail, it wouldn't work. I had not at that point reset my existing phone so I figure I just delete the account off the original phone and it worked.

My outlook Gmail and work mail worked fine even when it was still on my old phone. Only yahoo had this issue.

I had the same problem and found my answer here:

Basically, you need to set up POP forwarding on your Yahoo account setting.
