Are you doing it from the setup wizard on the blackberry device, or on website from computer?

It shouldn't make a difference, unless right now there is some sort of glitch. Try the other alternative from what you are doing now and see.

Do you have special characters in your password? Some characters don't work.

i tried to change my password to numbers only

and nothing change

it working 100% on the computer !

Do you have Yahoo Plus account? My friend you need to upgrade to Yahoo plus account. If you are using Yahoo free account then you will not be provisioned POP3 services; which are required for fetching emails on Blackberry or Outlook. Gmail and Hotmail are providing POP3 services for free.

You have to pay $20 to upgrade to Yahoo plus account. If you want to save money then I am afraid you have to have gmail or hotmail configured on your BB Device.

You do NOT need to pay to get your yahoo mail on your phone.

MidnightDraven I think you don't know about Yahoo Plus or you already have got your Yahoo Plus account. Yahoo don't allow POP3 for free users.
Please read this, if you don't believe me :

How to read Yahoo! Mail in an email reader | Original Yahoo! Mail Help

You definitely do NOT need a plus account.

Double check that you're entering your email address and password accurately.

shahzadk007, I believe the info in the link that you provided, is only if you want to use a 3rd party email client. It doesn't apply to BlackBerry.

shahzadk007, you are absolutely incorrect as it applies to Yahoo Mail on BlackBerry.

You do NOT have to have a Yahoo Plus account in order to have your Yahoo Mail pushed to your BlackBerry through the BIS. Unequivocally.

DITTO. FREE YAHOO EMAIL WORKS!

yes me too was facing the same problem, you need to up grade the version of the Yahoo, some time the version is not supported by the system

Regards

Version? What are talking about?

i just confuse myself more and more when i wrote my problem in this forum :(

Still not working?

VanGoaL, how exactly are you trying to add the Yahoo address?

by email wizard

i wrote my email address and my password ..
that's it !

and told me that my username or my password invalid !!

If you are sure address and password are correct, your country must be on the list of countries for which Yahoo does not provide push email service.
You can't do anything about it.

i use to have the same problem, but not anymore since i upgrade to BB 9700 onyx.

I get my Yahoo just fine on my phone and I don't pay nothing. Don't listen to that nonsense.

Guys then tell me if Blackberry is not using POP3 to get the emails from email server then which technology does it use?
