Default Yahoo mail issue

I just figured out how to set up my 755p so I can view my yahoo email and it will autosync my messages. Problem: one yahoo account works just fine the other keeps giving me the following message:
Versamail
-ERR invalid
user/password

I am 100% sure that I am entering the correct login, email address and password. This particular login has a "_" in it. I also tried a 3rd yahoo email and that one also has a "." in the login name. Could not get it to sync either. Could that be an issue? Help!

Having not used Yahoo mail for a bit over a year, when I using it one had to have paid access for each account accessed - is that a possibility?

That is what I thought. I found an answer on yahoo that said you needed Yahoo! Plus. But I figured I would give it a try. It worked on one account, it sync'd just fine and it is not a paid plus account. so since that worked I figured the others should too. So I set my preference and account setting the same on the phone, but the other two still won't work. wondering if I should just consider myself lucky to get the one account to work.

Be sure the you are actually using a "_" and not the "-" ; in order to get the lower case dash "_" you have to choose the "-" and then right away hit the Alt button and a screen comes up with options, one of them is the "_" lower case dash. It took me forever to remember to do this.

You can use google on versa mail, however, with the yahoo, you have to use the yahoo plus.

If it's a sprint device, you can get sprint mobile mail, that will allow you to put the regular yahoo mail up.
