How do I log out of yahoo on android

bobbyss

don't know much about techie stuff but I have Yahoo mail on my mobile and I can not seem to log out of it.

I have googled this question and I follow until the final step which says tap on log out. but there is no option to log out.

I tap on
Menu
settings
manage accounts and there I have my accoun name and under it account info but there is no log out option there.

If I swipe left on my a/c name it says: 'this account has been disabled for this app'. but what does that mean? because when I go to Yahoo mail again my account is open for anyone to read if they had my mobile.

Is it possible to open Yahoo Mail on my mobile only with a password? why is this proving difficult? who would want a mail service that is not secure?

It is secure (well, as much as Yahoo can be with all the stupid things they do). The boundary is considered the Phone not the App. Somebody who shouldnt be reading your email shouldnt be able to unlock your phone.

To remove it:
Open Settings (for the phone, not in the app)
Accounts
Yahoo

Many thanks for your reply. I appreciate it.

Before I do that does that mean then that I will not have Yahoo Mail on my mobile?
If it does why in the name of God is Yahoo offering a service which can not be made secure? Phones do go missing/stolen.

Why would anyone want Yahoo Mail if you can not log out of it? I am sure Yahoo are able to provide an app which can be made secure and if people wanted to leave it open on their device that could be up to them. Why would yahoo do that is beyond me.

You're still missing the point. Secure the phone, not the app.
