Since this weekend my Yahoo mail access is failing on my Pre2 (webos2.1) but on my touchpad 3.0.4 it seems to be working correctly. I have tried removing the account on my Pre2 and recreating it and the initial creation process works but when it goes to sync I get the yellow triangle ! warning. I have seen other posts on precentral.net with similar issues but nobody has an answer.
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

This error is coming from Yahoo. A workaround:
Delete the Yahoo e-mail accounts, and instead of choosing a Yahoo account again, choose "Add Account", then "Email Account". The goal here is to manually set up the same Yahoo accounts.
Enter your yahoo email account and password, then pick "Manual Setup", and these server settings:
Incoming mail server: palm.imap.mail.yahoo.com
Username: your entire yahoo email address
Password: your yahoo password
Encryption: SSL
Port: 993
Outgoing mail server: palm.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Use Authentication: ON
Username: your full yahoo email address
Password: your yahoo email password
Encryption: SSL
Port#: 465
Tap the "Validate Settings" button when all the above is entered. Things should work correctly again.
Repeat for each Yahoo account. I was getting the 1299 error, and this worked for me!

I found this on another thread and it seems to be working but I cant figure out why my touchpad works fine but the Pre2 is broken as the accounts have the exact same settings. If it was purely a Yahoo issue wouldnt both the TP and Pre break?
