OK, I've got one for the Fox. The email app on my phone (gs4) has 3 different email accounts set up on it, a Gmail, a yahoo and my work email which is through Microsoft Exchange. All but the yahoo email work fine. The yahoo account keeps sending me new mail notifications for emails that I already ready. The only way to stop this is to delete the message. Burn after reading. I know it's a minor inconvenience, but it's annoying nonetheless. So, what do you got?
What does the Fox say?

Actually no definitive evidence other than word of mouth from others that Yahoo just needs to get their $hit together when it comes to mobile email interfacing.

The email app is pretty good. I pretty much use a different app for every email. Email for exchange, gmail for gmail and yahoo for yahoo.

This is what I do- I am trying to add a second g-mail to the app and am finding the instructions not making sense

Must have missed this one. What have you tried so far? What operating system and malware protection is currently employed on the target machine? I've heard of that malware and it's easy to eradicate. Just don't want to double up on efforts for what you may or may not have tried yet.

it is still running xp....he got win7 for xmas at super deal put he didn't realize it needed a special installing program that wasn't included. so he has not yet installed.
I think he has norton as the main program and then he had downloaded a bunch of the free malware blocking stuff to supplement. I'll have to ask him what he has tried so far. he spent another hr or so last night working on it with no success.

You realize that XP is no longer supported right? Which makes it SUPER vulnerable to almost every new exploit out there. My advice is to cut ties and make the jump to Win7 as soon as possible. I'm a bit confused by what "special installing program" is needed. I've been installing Win7 for close to 6 years now and I have yet to encounter any machine that required anything other than the Win7 DVD itself.
To reinforce my advice, you could remove that specific exploit today and 2 more could pop up again tomorrow. If you truly wish to continue using XP, I would keep it disconnected from the internet as much as possible when not in use.
If it's the full version of Norton Internet Security and still has a valid subscription, that's fairly decent. I'm not a fan of paid anti-malware/virus programs though and Norton has failed me in the past. It's important to note that using "a bunch of free malware blocking stuff" (I'm not trying to be condescending here) can often do more harm than good because certain conflicts can arise. Again, if you decide to pursue this farther and stick with XP (which I do not recommend), try the advice I listed here a while back. It is still valid and useful information and is typically able to eradicate the malware in most cases. I advise that you download these to a flash drive from a functional non-infected PC. I would also run through a garbage file scan and registry clean with CCleaner BEFORE using the other tools I recommended. Best to also run those in XP SAFE MODE (tap the F8 key to boot the machine into safe mode).

For corporate uses, no. Especially since MS and various corporate affiliates have agreements for extended coverage. Your company also has the benefit of being behind (I assume) a hardware/software firewall infrastructure system which makes is far less susceptible to standard malware attacks/threats. The typical home user does not employ the same systems. And some of the machines I've had come across my desk as of recent, are basically irreparable.

Driving through Wisconsin yesterday listening to Pandora with the family through Bluetooth from my wife's phone, we heard this blasting through the speakers of our van:
