Good morning to all.

Well I spent many hours last night trying to get my Mail going on my iPad. I phoned Yahoo. After listening music for 3/4 of hour, they gave me so called advise, which I had already tried 25 times. I exchanged emails with Apple support team. They said I did not have support arrangement, so they could not help me unless I buy one time support that costs $30.

I can do emailing through Safari, but It is not up to current standard after I am so used to using "Mail" feature on iPad.

I am now in a desperation state, so I am thinking to buy one time support from Apple.

Just so someone might be thinking about Downloading Yahoo app for Mail, you should know it would not help me because my iPad iSO is 5.1.1. It has to be iSO 6.0 or higher. So I thought rather than spending $30 on one time support from Apple, I just trade in my iPad to get newer iPad.

Is there anyone out there who might save me $30? Thank you everyone for thinking about my problem. BcCanip
