Simple question I hope.
Just moved over to a Samsung J3 phone (from iPhone) and to access my BT Internet Mail I was told to download the Yahoo Mail App. Its all working OK but the top line of my inbox contains ever changing adverts. Now I use ADBlock on my Desktop to block these adverts.
Question how do I block them on my Samsung phone?
Solved! Go to Solution.

@Graham54 Think you can download an Adblock from the play store

I have a Samsung phone and don't use the Yahoo mail app to get my emails.
I just used the Android stock email app and set BT internet up as the default client.
I have a second email address (Gmail) which I keep totally separate from BT internet
I don't use Ad blocker on the phone. Simply because I don't get unwanted ads with emails (as I don't use Yahoo)

You get one or two occasionally on gmail but nothing overly distracting.
I'd set your email up as an imap account and use:
INCOMING.
Incoming Mail Server: mail.btinternet.com
Port: 993 (this should be automatically populated if you tick the SSL Encryption)
SSL Encryption: Enabled (but not STARTTLS)
Username: your email address including the @btinternet or @btopenworld.com part
Password: your btinternet password
Root folder/path:
Folder separator: . (full stop)
Please don't enable "secure password authentication" (SPA). It's not needed when you use SSL encryption and won't work.
SMTP settings.
Outgoing Mail Server: mail.btinternet.com
Port: 465 (this may not be automatically populated on selection of SSL, so you'll need to check this)
SSL Encryption: Enabled (but not STARTTLS)
Authentication: PLAIN
Username: your email address including the @btinternet or @btopenworld.com part
Password: your btinternet password
