Yahoo Email POP

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

Calendar appointments from Lotus Notes - Citrix :(

Hi Guys
i'm trying to get my work Lotus Notes appointments in to my WM6 device. Sadly this is not as easy as it should be as its Citrix environment and locked down tighter than a nuns chastity belt.
So, I thought I had an idea! I added my personal email address as an Invite to a meeting and hey presto... the phone received it. The email had the attachment:
C085635.ics
The file even had the little calendar icon ... "result!" i thought... until i clicked it and got the following message:
"Failed to save". Received data may be incomplete"
I've tried this with a couple of appointments but i get the same message. I think the error is misleading as all other attachments come through fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

same problems as you
Hello,
I have the same problems as you. Have you found a solution?
Thank you for your reply.

I've found a solution. Just enable "Include file attachments". You can found the setting in the Active Sync options, by the Email Settings. Hope it worked for you too.

I didn't find a solution to that specific problem but when I changed ROMS to a diferent one, it started working fine.
For me, it wasn't as Sussex said as
I think the error is misleading as all other attachments come through fine.

However, hope it works for you as if it is your solution, its an easy one to fix

Simillar problem
Have same problem - received lotus notes meeting request
I see c083058.ics file attachment, but when i click on it i get :
"Failed to save". Received data may be incomplete"
Anyone found solution yet?
Using HTC Pure, winMO 6.5 as i got it from ATT
using Gmail account through IMAP4.. if that matters...
Any help is greatly appreciated...
(transferring to outlook and syncing the phone is not an opion for me - i an on the go, need to receive my mail and appointments during the day , and i don't have PC with me all the time)

Did anyone ever figure this out? I have the exact same issue on my HTC Tilt 2.

bumping up in hopes of a solution...

Bumping this up....ics from lotusnotes not working on my htc HD2 running Touch X-treme rom (OS-6.5.3). I fwded this same email to my BB9700 and it works fine on that device.
Any solution yet?

Group Texting

Hi Guys
probably a very common request but, has anyone seen an app that properly integrates into the WM address/contacts book and allows group texting?
I've tried some poor apps that are outside of the address book and (sadly) most of them don't work properly anyway :-(
Thanks in advance!

Don't know if you have tried this but Auto SMS Reply v 2.0 has a tool called Send MASS Sms that sends group of SMS to your contacts. It also has a host of other features like automatically sending SMS to your missed calls etc..
I use a TYTN 2, WM 6.1 ROM and auto SMS works fine for me..

thanks for that. Not heard of it so will download now and give it a try

lol - found it and had a look and whilst i think the "SMS Call blocker" auto-response could be very funny, its not really what I was after.
I really want something that integrates into the current address book system, thanks anyway though!

Group SMS can do wat you want. And it does a very good job if I may say so!
Only disadvantage might be that it's not intergrated into your address book, but for me that's no problem.

Thanks for that however, used that one and it didn't work very well for me at all! Problems ranged from not sending to all the group to some members of the group receiving the same message a few times.

That's to bad. I've used v1.4.5 on the HTC Trinity, TouchCruise and Kaiser. And it worked very good actually.
Hope you'll find the right app. for you..

try the app i hv developed and see whether it works for you.
Check my signature for the link.

HERE is the correct link.. ..your website URL's seem to be a bit messed up

[Q] Is it possible to import sms messages to WP7?

as above
i have some important messages in my touch pro that i would absolutely loathe to lose, and i'm going to buy a WP7 device as my contract expires this month.
can some kind soul with a working device tell me if this is possible, or is there any article that mentions it?
Thanks

I think the myphone service should do it...
http://sn1-p3.myphone.microsoft.com/mkweb/Start.po?mkt=en-GB

oh...yeah right
i clean forgot about it since i use spb backup more
thanks for reminding me

From what I have seen and tried I can find no method to restore the SMS from an older 6.5 device to a WP7.
Were you able to find a solution?

Nope-- there are even solutions to import WM 6.5 SMSes to Android, but nothing for WP7- it's far too locked down.

thanks for the confirmation, as I have tried a million things and I even looked at the SMS store and it looks too locked down to even write a app to do it.
Has anyone had success at sync'ing SMS from Exchange? I have got it set up but the messages dont appear to sync to the phone....have I missed something?

Nope, WP7 doesn't support Exchange SMS sync (or SMS sync with anything for that matter).
Ironically this was one of the features added to WM6.5 with Exchange Server 2010, yet its successor (if you can call it that) lacks it.
Might get added in a few years' time, once other more basic deficiencies are addressed.

weird that this phone addresses the joe-average user, and I dont deny it, but not having a restore/backup function is poor and a ovesight....

Hi
Do I understand it correctly that using http://sn1-p3.myphone.microsoft.com/...t.po?mkt=en-GB to upload sms through WM6.5 then download to WP7 is not possible ie does not work?
Thanks

That's correct, one of the best things Microsoft created for WM6 doesn't work with WP7.

If you copy your important SMSes to the SIM card beforehand they will automagically appear on your WP7 handset.

Thought of doing that but couldn't see how to do it on wm6.5 [I have another wm6.5 phone I could copy to sim if it was possible]

wow, surprised to see my thread bumped up
my sms messages run up to the many thousands
not very possible eh?
but then, i guess a suggestion would be to prune them and keep the important ones

[Q] Remove/block INCOMING email signature?

Samsung Galaxy SIII (I9300), Stock ROM, O2 network, default messaging app
New phone, old problem:
My girlfriend will send me several emails from her work address each week and it means also getting the long signature from her workplace at the bottom of each one (including a couple of long hyperlinks). This makes finding the important part (her messages!) an annoying process of scrolling. On a PC, that's not much of an issue (though the signature - which includes lengthy disclaimers and so on - still takes up almost half the average email length).
I wonder then, is it possible to either block signatures from being downloaded (preferably on a sender by sender basis) or at least remove them after the email has been downloaded to the phone? Perhaps the email app (or any email app) can't differentiate between the message and the signature, in which case the former of those isn't going to be possible.
Incidentally, I don't want to root the phone, at least not in the next 12 months until its guarantee runs out.
So, is there an app (whether email client or add-on) which can do this (preferably free!) or am I stuck with lots of scrolling? And no, I can't get her to manually remove the signature at her end!
(Posted in general Q&A as I can't see this being a particularly Samsung-related issue)

Not gonna happen

I fully understand your issue and I understand that it is very annoying, but I'm afraid that I have to disappoint you.
The sender writes the email and because the signature is part of the mail, it can't be removed I think.(it would be just like removing hello..., dear...).
I looked around the internet to check but I couldn't find a solution. Maybe she can sent you emails with another e-mail address?
If I'm wrong, then somebody please correct me. So sorry, not gonna happen.
Hope you still find a solution

Thanks, that's what I pretty much figured. I'm guessing the only way a program could know what part of a message is the signature would be if it had direct access to the sender's email program (e.g. Outlook) and that's not going to happen. Unfortunately, sending from a different client isn't a practical option due to her work's security policy.
Oh well, unless someone comes up with a miracle solution, scrolling endlessly it is then!
