Yahoo mail? People still use yahoo mail?
Yahoo settings
Incoming server setting
imap.mail.yahoo.com:143 no security
Outgoing server settnig
smtp.mail.yahoo.com:587 no security
The sense default email app (Mail) does not handle Y! mail folders, but the android default email app (Email) does.

the HTC Sense mail program is a bit flaky. try the default android one. It should do what you want, but it doesn't work with the Mail widget on the home-screen

Am I missing something? When I setup my phone I set it to sync with GMail, contacts, mail and calendar.
Then when I click the mail widget it prompts me to setup an email account???
Why does this not link up to the application installed on the phone. I was expecting to see an indicator on my homescreen when I got new mail.

your clicking on the htc mail icon. which is for other email services (ie exchange, yahoo. etc.)
remove that icon and add the gmail icon to use.
Yep the Mail Widget DOES NOT work with Gmail. Since Gmail is one of those wonderful proprietary apps it has closed API's even HTC can't use so there aren't apps that can read your Gmail inbox. This the HTC Mail widget only works with HTC's mail implementation.
Download "gmail unread count" in the market will do what you are asking for.

We REALLY need a properly unified inbox in 2.5.
Hello,
This is my first Android phone after using the iPhone. I added all my Gmail accounts to the email app from Samsung, and I'm still not getting push email. It's set at IMAP and everything. Do I need to set it up as an exchange account?
Thanks.
you need to use the gmail app for gmail to push as far as i know If you only use Gmail, you can remove the email app from that bottom dock by going to the applications screen and hitting menu there is a setting to arrange via grid and then rearrange apps and you can drag the gmail app down there and remove the email app

Thanks for the quick reply. That slightly is disappointing since the Samsung email app has an universal inbox where as the Gmail email app doesn't. Is there an app that would help with this issue if I were to root the phone?
I apologize in advanced if I sound stupid or don't make any sense. I'm still checking up with all the Android lingo
How would I go about adding a non gmail and a non exchange account? Would the Gmail app support that? Or would I have to use the Samsung email app for that?
Thanks.

The Gmail app only supports gmail accounts I believe. You either have to use the Samsung email app or forward your emails from your other accounts to gmail.
Another suggestion is to use K-9 Mail. I have my Gmail, AOL, and Hotmail accounts added to the K-9 Mail and Gmail and AOL both give me push emails and I have Hotmail set up for polling every hour.
K-9 seems to be the best alternative because I didn't want to forward all my emails to Gmail and the Samsung email app wasn't pushing my emails like I wanted.
If the samsung email app supports exchange active sync, you can use it to get gmail and it'll push. Gmail now fully supports active sync. I had my iphone set up that way and I got push emails from Gmail no problem.
The Google Gmail website shows you how to set up Gmail as if it were an exchange active sync account. Its really simple and worked great for me for over a year. I have the Captivate now and only use the Gmail app, but I only have one Gmail account, not multiple ones like the OP.

That's exactly what I'm looking. That works out perfect. Thanks again! And if I ever want to sync my contacts and calendar with Gmail, I can always turn off sync for mail but keep sync active for contacts and calendar.
Thanks again.
Is there anything for showing unread mail for Yahoo mail?
If you use the AOSP email client for Yahoo instead of the Yahoo email client, this will do the trick for you:

Ever since I switched from my Tilt2 w/at&t to my Epic 4G w/sprint, I've been obviously using my gmail account more often. Thing is, the built in email client, even for gmail & even when I try it with pop3, just plain sucks. Also, I mainly use my hotmail account, which there isn't really an app for yet. So I have two things. 1. To find a much better email client for android. And 2. To find a way to get all my hotmail to my android. Now, I can fully access and export my entire hotmail account from inside outlook. But I haven't found a way to import pst's into android yet.

I lot of people say K9 mail is the best. I would say its the best of the non-Gmail apps out there. I can't use any other mail besides gmail because I'm so used to the threaded conversations. BUT, Gmail could be better for sure.

Use Seven email client (latest version 7.5.4)with homescreen widget support
It supports Gmail/yahoo/Hotmail/AOl n more
It is push mail client.
I see that you've gotten some good suggestions. I just wanted to tell you to avoid POP3 at all costs. It's a very primitive protocol and should really only be used as a last resort. Use at least IMAP.

Hotmail can be setup for push just like Exchange.
In the email app, tap Add Account, then put in your email address and password and then tap "Manual Setup"
Tap "Exchange Account"
Set the Incoming Mail Server: m.hotmail.com
Leave Domain blank
Set your username to your full @hotmail email address (i.e. include @hotmail.com or @live.com)
Enter your password.
Tap finish.
I recommend to use K9 mail. I use it with my 6 email adresses - 1 gmail, 1 imap and 4 pop3. As far I know hotmail does support pop3, so with K9 you should be able to check all your emails, including hotmail..
K9 is a very nice email client. I've used it for about a year now with imap.

Using K9 with 4 mails accounts, 3 IMAP and one POP3.
Works flawless so far.
K9 mail client is useless as it doesnt accept Exchange, this is ridiculous
I use Yahoo Mail. I know, I know, WHY? But for those like me who are stuck with Yahoo for one reason or another and hate the Yahoo Mail Android app, I found that the solution I used for my Droid 1 solves the glitches Yahoo Mail has in the HTC Thunderbolt.
For the most part, choosing Yahoo Mail from the native email app works but won't refresh, download, or send on a regular basis. So when you are setup, go into settings (or you can setup as imap from the start) and replace "htc" for "android" in the imap and smtp server settings. Here is my original thread:
