E-Mail on phones

My needs are modest, I want the functionality phones come with to work.

Settings for e-mail providers can be difficult to find.

Yahoo mail ( yahoo.co.uk ) settings for IMAP as working on the mail client on my Sony Ericsson k530 are as follows:-

Incoming

imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 143
Security: None

Outgoing

Outgoing Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing Port - 465 (requires SSL/TLS)
Username: full email address (for example, bill@yahoo.com or bill@rocketmail.com)
Password: the password you login to Yahoo with.

Info via much web searching.

It worked for me, your milage may vary !
