Nice write-up! I have been using the app for 5 months now - when things work like they are supposed to it is great! BUT, just happened to me again today: I am in the middle of composing an email reply AND in comes a new email notification accompanied by the set sound alert ERASING EVERYTHING I TYPED! YIKES! WHY THE HELL DOES IT DO THAT? Might have to go using a mail client after all, which I'd rather not do! I am using an HTC EVO 3D with all latest updates and latest yahoo mail app - any ideas how correct this?
