    Why through outlook? Just set up the email client on the phone to poll yahoo.com and it will pick everything up for you. As far as going the outlook route, MS released a Windows phone and doesn't want any other OS using Outlook. I tried a few months ago and switched everything to my google account because it wasn't worth the effort. Good luck though.

    Yeah, I was a Windows Phone user, and I switched to the amazing Samsung Galaxy Note II, and it sort of works, but there are random things that dont play nice. So after I went all in on the Live account, I'm slowly trying to get everything over to Google...


    but to your issue.. there is a Yahoo app for Android, doesn't it have the option to sync calendar?

    I'll be honest Mike, if I could get a professional sounding GMail account, I would drop outlook or hotmail (whatever they are calling it today). I like the service, but Google seems to have an upper hand with all of their web services. Unfortunately, I cannot make any combination of my name as they are all taken. Sad day.

    I had that same problem with the Live account and Gmail, I have a very common first name and last name.... I ended up going firstname.lastname.mcp@live.com when I had the Windows Phone. I tried hard to figure something out for gmail, then eventually ended up with firstname.lastname.ccna@gmail.com
