gmail configeration

has anybody successfully synced there fone to gmail???
cause i have run into a bit of a problem my fone checks gmail every 15 mins and i get my email and everthing but i cant send email. i use recent:username so that it doesnt deleat the messages on my fone. anyone?? know how to fix these?

I am having the same problem and I am looking for a fix right now. It's due to the port #"s that are required by gmail to send and recieve email through there servers.

I have it working...
what are your settings?
my outgoing mail server is 'smtp.gmail.com:465' then in the Options menu I have 'Outgoing mail requires authentication' selected, and 'use separate settings' is NOT selected.
Maybe try that...I know the Outgoing Mail requires Authentication needs to be selected in order for you to be able to send mail...

if I could suggest maybe searching the posts for a direct push email service, many of which are free, getting that setup, then simply forwarding all of your gmail to the direct push account. making sure it leaves copies in ur gmail inbox for checking/archiving later from ur pc.

it works fine for me on my phone,i can send and recieve flawlessly. my outgoing server is smtp.gmail.com:465 as well

ok thanks u guys it was easy i had the 'use separate settings' selected. but once i unselected it.. it worked.. so u guy know of any good free service for pushing gmail, that works good??

mail2web offers free push service, and you can forward your gmail from the account options to a mail2web account. I was doing that for a while and it worked extremely well! Website can be found at: http://live.mail2web.com

you know, its funny. i was just working on this today as well.
i have the settings that pocket outlook found for me:
incoming mail: pop.gmail.com:995
outgoing mail: smtp.gmail.com:465
domain is blank. i have the use seperate settings unticked etc..
but it keeps asking me for my username and password and domain
i am using the correct username and password as far as i can tell. connects okay on my pc with that login. but it keeps failing on my wizard. do i need to put something in the domain area?

GMail Issues

I have 2 identical Fuzes, both have been upgraded to NATF's 2.2. One is working just fine, but one refuses to send email to a GMAIL account. I've checked the settings and it can get mail just fine, but can't send. Does anyone knoe of any problems with GMAIL and the Fuze?

For my Gmail account to send emails, I had to:
In the email tab, select accounts ->accounts -> Menu, Options -> select Gmail -> edit account setup-> next,next,next -? Advanced Server Settings -> Require SSL for Incomming and Outgoing email checked.
I think that should fix your issues, the "Auto configuration" got everything fine except for that settings...

double check the email account in question to see if pop3 access has been enabled, its in the gmail options (log in to your gmail account via pc and check it).

I had this problem yesterday and it could be the same.
Apparently there's a bug in WM6.1 that if the server doesn't answer once, it cycles to a blank server name. There's a fix out for it.

I orginally fixed the problem by deleting the account and re-making it but this is supposed to be a permanent fix.

Switching to SSL didn't help. I'm using IMAP vs POP but I'll check that.

[FIX] Get Your Hotmail Account Fully Working

Ive noticed many a member having issues being able to send out Hotmail emails.
Figured this out in about 5 minutes, hahaha.
I have since a few minutes ago and have been able to change some settings to fix it and get it fully functional.
Note I changed these via the E-Mail app K-9 but it should be the same for HTC Mail (Default) Email program within Android if you experiencing issues as well.
Tap Menu from within your inbox
> More
> Settings
> Account Settings
> Sending Mail
> Outgoing Server
Enter these exact settings at this screen:
SMTP Server
"smtp.live.com"
Security Type
"TLS (always)"
Port
"587"
Have Require sign-in checked
Authentication Type
"PLAIN"
Username
"Your credentials"
Password
"insert obvious here"
Hit Next, test it by sending yourself an email and thats it!! Enjoy

You can't imagine how thankful I'm for this. I've been struggling with this to the point of giving up. This worked like a charm.

You are so the man! Thanks! Huge help!

I'd been using TLS & port 587 however after rooting my Inspire I tried it as an Exchange setup. Before root I couldn't get the exchange to work & had read there were issues with Exchange, Hotmail (or live.com email), & the Inspire.
Its really odd. Now it seems to be working.
~Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync~
Email: [email protected] or [email protected] or [email protected]
Server Address: m.hotmail.com
SSL: Enabled
Username: [email protected] or [email protected] or [email protected]
Password: password
Domain: <blank>
Update - I woke up this AM and the sync using the exchange settings seems to be hosed. It's trying to sync every few seconds and the email notification keeps sounding. It's obnoxious to say the least!

[Q] Hotmail with Email App

Anyone get their hotmail account to sync up the their transformer email app? I didn't have any problems with any other email address just my 2 hotmail accounts
I've tried the POP
POP3 server - pop3.live.com
Port - 995 (you can also try 110)
Security type to - SSL
Touch Delete email from server if you want to change this option.
SMTP server - smtp.live.com
Port - 587 (you can also try 25)
Security type to - TLS
Require Sign in should be checked.
I can't get it to get verify incoming port, always fails on username password
Also I tried the Exchange Settings
Domain\Username: Clear out and put in your full hotmail address
Password: if not pre-filled, obviously put in your hotmail password
Server: m.hotmail.com
Check "Use Secure Connection (SSL)"
No luck on it either, doesn't seem to find the server.
Anyone find a method that works for hotmail?

Works fine for me for my msn email account, I dont remember doing anything special either.

is your account hotmail "plus"...the one you can pay so you can have POP service?
also if you had hotmail for a long time (i think is more than 3 years), hotmail will grandfather your account to included POP for free..

Yeah, its got pop support, I've had it syncing fine on my droid and my gtab, but can't get it to go with on the transformer for some reason.

I have just a normal '@hotmail.com' (not a plus account) account. It works fine with that. Seemed to detect all the settings for me automatically.

Thats whats weird, is just inputting my user name and password in the add email account, get the warning setup could not finish, cannont connect to server and lights up the manual button.
Tried both pop and exchange settings, neither connects. This is the first device I've had problems with this. Does the same thing for both of my accounts, getting frustrated.

Don't know if this will help you or not but I've just checked the settings on mine. In the incoming settings section, the server it checks is 'm.hotmail.com' and it's using a secure socket layer (SSL) connection. 'Accept all SSL certificates' is unchecked. Good luck.

I got this fixed. It ended up being my password. I use Keepass on my computer and for android so it just uses randomly generated passwords. They worked fine on everything else but not this. Was getting fed up with the username/password not correct warning went in and changed it to something simpler and it finally connected.
Then took a couple of tries to get a new password out of keepass that would work, but finally got it. My guess is it wasn't liking the length?? I don't know but I'm up and running now.

Yahoo mail stops working.

Yahoo mail works fine for a week than stops. Says it can't send. So I go back into the settings that I have not changed and it says that authentication failed on outgoing server. User name and password incorrect. Don't see how since I never changed it. So i put the correct one back in. Doesn't work. I delete email account. Enter same user/pass and ot works fine. Few days later same thing. I have tried this on pop and IMAP. And suggestions?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App

Same here. I didn't change anything but somehow it stopped working since yesterday.
This similar problem happened like 1 month ago and nobody seem could fix it.
The good thing was it came back to normal after a few days. It seemed Yahoo is the one having problem and it went back normal after they fixed their system.
I hope same thing is happening now.
UPDATE!! Now it works! here is how:
- I delete HTC Mail widget
- Try to reinstall widget and setup new account
- Widget said my Yahoo account is locked and I need to go to my computer to log in & unlock manually
- I tried to log in through my pc and my password was denied several times (Weird.. since it was ok yesterday)
- I chose option that My Password Is Not Working
- Reset my password and log in successfully thru my pc
- Go back to HTC Mail, setup with new account info..and VOILA...it works again.

this worked for me
From:
mobile.yahoo dotcom /mail/android (I'm not allowed to post links yet)
And I'm doing this to get to an sbcglobal.net account which is ATT which is for some unknown reason controlled by yahoo!. Note: these setting are different than the settings I need to use for my laptop. There its a POP3.
Good luck:
IMAP is another way you can get Yahoo! Mail on your phone. Using IMAP you can download messages with your mobile client, so you can access your mail even when not connected to the mobile Internet.
How to set up Yahoo! Mail with your mobile client using IMAP
1. On your phone, press < Home >, then open the Email application.
2. On the 'Your accounts' page, select Next to get started with setup.
3. Enter your full Yahoo! address and password, then select Next.
4. On the next screen, you can give the account a nickname and choose the name to display on your outgoing messages. Tap Done.
If prompted, supply the following information:
1. Incoming Server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
2. Outgoing Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
3. Incoming Port - 993 (requires SSL)
4. Outgoing Port - 465 (requires SSL)
5. Username: full email address ([email protected])
6. Password: is the password you login to Yahoo! with

I concur, I've been using similar IMAP settings for over 12 months that have never failed me yet, ..first on my desire and now on my sensation.
Similar to above suggested settings, with different ports.
Here's my trusty old settings for Yahoo mail....
Incoming settings
Protocol: IMAP
Enter your complete email address for user name, example: [email protected]
Enter password as normal.
IMAP server: imap-ssl.mail.yahoo.com
Security type: None
Server port: 143
Outgoing server settings
Enter your complete email address again for user name
Enter password as normal again.
SMTP server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Security type: None
server port: 587

Try the Yahoo Mail app, it's pretty good and it's push.
