Check Yahoo Mail On A Palm Centro

The Palm Centro allows you to check email directly on your phone. Sprint subscribers will have the option of checking email via Versamail or Sprint's proprietary application, Sprint Mobile Email. Centro users with an unlocked Centro or through other service providers will be able to access their Yahoo accounts via Versamail. Unfortunately, Yahoo charges for POP access to its web-based accounts. Fortunately, there is also a work around if you want to access your Yahoo mail on your Centro for free.
