Android Tablet Honeycomb Yahoo! Mail settings

I have difficulty trying to setup my Yahoo! Mail. Most of the steps I went through succeed however the next time when I am to check my mail again, it will have authentication error. So finally I came across another post and here is the correct setting I have done with. The settings are as followed for manual setup for IMAP. INCOMING SERVER SETTINGS IMAP server - imap.mail.yahoo.com Port - 143 Security type - TLS IMA path prefix - (leave blank) OUTGOING SERVER SETTINGS SMTP Server- smtp.mail.yahoo.com Port - 587 Security type - None (check) require sign-in Hope this helps. Comments if you find there are mistakes.
