First off I'm pretty new to all this and I did a search looking for a solution to this problem. I did my first rom flash to the At&t WM6 release and it works great. After setting up my email account I can receive email I just can't send it. This is the message I get every time.
"Messages cannot be downloaded to your mobile device, make sure you are connected and that your email account settings are correct"
I'm sure someone will know the answer to this.

Your outgoing mail server may require authentication. Check it under options and try sending again.

No problem. Don't we all overlook these kinds of things?

Whats up everyone. This is the first thread I've started and was careful to run multiple searches and read thru a ton of treads before posting it. I'm hoping someone can give me a definitive answer as to if it's possible to get your Yahoo email via some sort of POP without paying for their premium service.
I've used XpressMail (I have a Cingular 8525) and that seemed to work, but it's just a terrible program that I didn't like. I do have work email that uses an Outlook server and that works fine, but I can't get my Yahoo to work. I don't even need push, I would be happy to have a program on my PDA/cell that will just check it every 15 minutes or so.
Yahoo Go! seems to be something that would work, but they don't have 2.0 for my phone yet and it seems there is a huge memory leak issue with 1.0.
Outside of Xpress Mail and Go are there any suggestions for receiving Yahoo email on my phone?
Thanks!

Works for me as normal POP. I have a yahoo.co.uk email address, and can use both pop.mail.yahoo.com and pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk, without paying for anything.

Cool!! I didn't know it was that simple, I've been using Ypops! for a while, when in fact there's no need for that !1
The problem now is that outlook retrieves ALL messages from my inbox folder. in Ypops I could retrieve only the UNREAD messages in the inbox, which is very helpful. I don't wanna download all 1700+ emails which are on the yahoo account. I know there's a possibility to keep a copy on the server, but it's not what I want... Its would take almost 1 GB to download it all
Is there a way to configure Outlook (without using Ypops) to retrieve only unead messages????
Yahoo! Japan also allows POP without paying for anything...
I would have to sign up for a new yahoo.uk account though, correct? I would really like to keep my current email account as I've had it for about 10 years now...

Yes, as I've also explained in my related tutorial (please DO keep an eye on my articles and check my even older ones - they may prove very helpful) at, say, http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=42913 , it's only the "standard" yahoo.com that doens't have FREE pop3 access. All the others do.
Please DO read the above article, I've explained everything in there.

Well, am I missing something?? I have a @yahoo.com account, I didn't upgrade to yahoo plus, but still can receive and send email through Outlook, using the simple pop3 and smtp settings. How is that possible?? in the internal setting of yahoo, I've set it up to UK/Ireland, so I could try the Yahoo mail BETA (which I didn't like)
Anyway - I take the chance to ask again my question - is it possible to let Outlook download ONLY the UNREAD emails in my inbox???
Thanks

I did read your excellent article prior to posting Menneisyys. It was very informative. I was just hoping that some else may have come up with a solution or if all the @yahoo.com users really are screwed.
Kamal- would you mind telling me exactly what settings you are using in yahoo itself and also in Outlook? Thanks!

I can access my account via POP3 on my 8525 for free. And yes I'm in America. It's pretty much the same way as the uk version just without the .uk

If you are running exchange setup the option in your desktop outlook. Resulting email will come into your device inbox. It should not matter if the email is generated on the device or desktop but I could be wrong. Remember if they have “Ask Me Before Sending Read Receipt,” “Don’t Send Read Receipt,” or their email client doesn’t know what to do with it you may not get a Read Reply.
i have been using GV lately, love it esp because i can sms from my pc, but does anyone know of a way to push sms to phone, because the official GV app only does pull or you have to manually refresh the app to get sms, i wish it was instant.

You can change how often it updates but I think the lowest you can go is every 5 min.
and that still doesnt always refresh properly. I even searched on GV help forum the refresh 5 min rate sometimes doesnt work.
Isn't there a setting in Google Voice to forward SMS to your mobile number? Might not be exactly what you're looking for, but it does give you "push" SMS...

When i had my iphone i faced this problem. What you can do is create another gmail address, i.e. [email protected], go into your g voice settings in a browser and set it to forward sms to above email address. since the gmail app on android is push, you will get an email with the sms in it. you can reply to it just like you would a normal sms.

Could you also just make a label to filter them out, then you wouldn't even need a new address?

Yes, you could, which is actually what i do now since i dont need that method anymore. they forward to my regular email address, get a label applied and marked as read. Then if i need to reply from my computer i can just reply from my email rather than having to log into gv.
I had them seperated at first though on the iphone so i could keep the accounts seperate. hated digging through emails to find sms'
check this how-to out for SMS push workaround. i had to break apart the URL to avoid posting restrictions.

More information would be helpful....
Email type? POP, imap, exchange
provider? Hotmail? COx?
etc......
Could be it is pop email, and you are pulling it on your pc, your pc has set to delete from server after it pulls, so it is not there when your phone checks? Just a guess - since i have no idea if you are talking pop or not.
sorry i am a noob at this android stuff. i use hotmail,i used to get all of my email but now i hardly get any without opening my mail on my phone and pressing refresh. thx again
thats been happening to me to im on Gmail
When i send mail over default mail app receiver see my email not my NAME. Have someone solution for this ?
It's in the email settings app to post your name.

Yep i set this. But still show my e-mail not my name.
?? Nobody have problem with sending mail over default app ?
I am having the same exact problem! No matter what i set for my display name, it just puts my email address as the name on outgoing messages. Posted the question in the huge "Ask any question" thread, but received no replies. Tried deleting and recreating 3 separate mail accounts, but they all have the same problem. No issues in prior versions of Android on other devices.
Seems odd that this does not appear to be a more common question yet..
-Mike
I used an sqlite database browser and confirmed my desired display name is being saved in the stock email app db, so the program must not even be checking that value.
Cannot find any other reports of this issue online, very odd. Has nobody else noticed this bug yet, or is it somehow only affecting a couple of us?
EDIT: Android bug report filed, please 'star' it to generate some attention: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=63280
