Pre keeps asking me to enter my Yahoo password

It's day three of this issue. Looking around the forum, it looks like a lot of us are having issues with email, but I still want to ask if there is a solution for my Pre asking me for my Yahoo password every hour or even more. It's draining my battery! Not to mention a pain in the ass. 

 

I plan to hit the local Sprint store, but want to ask everyone here for help too! 

 

Thanks!

Re: Pre keeps asking me to enter my Yahoo password

See if this helps. Some have resolved the issue by going into the Contacts app, then Preferences and Accounts, Click the yahoo account and remove it. This has fixed the problem for some people, others said they also removed the yahoo calendar and the Yahoo account in the Instant Message account as well. Both those Syncs were added with 1.3.1 . I know it sucks if you use those, but see if it at least resolves the yahoo email problem for now.

Re: Pre keeps asking me to enter my Yahoo password

This just started happening to me last week.

Any ideas on why? I'm not aware of any new webOS updates and haven't changed my account at all as near as I can figure.

If I click on the message and either re-enter or just click Sign In leaving the stored password it works fine.

So it seems like this is just an annoying error message that doesn't actually stop email/contacts/calendar from working with Yahoo.

 

I find these services to be invaluable. With 3 busy kids all with shared but very active yahoo calendars I can actually keep track of who is supposed to be where when.

Re: Pre keeps asking me to enter my Yahoo password

I think this is simply transient Yahoo! authentication issues. I have the same periodically on my desktop; it usually resolves on its own. So far, I've not been able to find a solution.
