Hi guys. I run custom roms like bc. I have issues with push email.
It seems to work on begining and then week later stops working.
Seven is early in it's beta stages so maybe why it stops working
K9 on the other hand never works on evo as push email. It won't deliever unless you do manual check. Also i don't want to do polling every 5 min or so cause that's not push email but pull email which drains battery life. Yahoo client is weird too. Not push. Don't work well. Can't use gmail as my account is on yahoo.
Any ideas? I really would like k9. Any tips, tricks etc ?
?
I have no idea what you mean. Ive been using k9 ever since i switched to droid, on my hero and on my evo.
You are not setting it up properly. You know that PUSH = IMAP right? If youre setting up your accounts as pop3, it wont push. pop3 is pull only.
Download K9 from the website, not the market for the latest release. they upload a new version every 3 or 4 days its awesome. I have 0 problems, and ive gotten everyone I know to switch to it...
more than likely it is yahoo thats the problem. Not to sound rude but android is ALL about gmail. Itll work with other clients but its just not native support. Gmail (imo) is 9000x better than yahoo/hotmail/etc.
I thinkfor yahoo/hotmail imap you have to pay for it.

I don't bother with pop. I installed latest from k9 source. .10 ver. I did auto setup. Did not set anything up manually. Shall I ? If so what would the setting be? I like k9 format but don't work. None do. I finally got maildroid to work and it works great but i like k9 format much better. I don't know why it don't work.
Oh i see you posted a link with settings. Will try that. Thanks a lot for the link.
auto settings for k9 usually dont work. google manual yahoo imap settings and go from there. You may have to get Yahoo Plus or whatever they call it
Here is another thread:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/te...ns/34730-how-setup-yahoo-imap-mail-droid.html
Okay, I think I discovered Yahoo Mail as a major cause of battery drain on my Charge. First some background. At one point early on with the Charge I had great results of 20+ hours. That was shortly after setting up Humble and ImNuts Kernal, calibrating the battery, and installing basic apps.
As many of us do, I kept on tweaking from there. I tried various combinations of Imoseyon's kernal, EP1Q modem, and V6 supercharger and related scripts. At some point in the process I lost the battery life. I started getting 6-8 hours max! Of course at the same time I kept working on getting the "perfect" app setup. All this tweaking meant I couldn't tell what started the problem.
Anyway, I've since undone V6, gone back to PBJ kernal, and restored EE4's modem. I thought I noticed some improvement, but really it was no more than a couple hours more than before. Maybe 8-10 hours total.
So, I started thinking about how Data usage kills my battery at work. I get a very weak signal and it absolutely kills the battery. But still, I was able to get up to 20 hours before, even leaving data turned on. So, I wondered if anything was causing it to work extra hard to send/receive vs before.
Long story shortened (a little). I considered the Yahoo Mail app with it's "push only" setup. This is something I didn't have setup right away. I'd used the built in email. So, after disabling "Notifications" in my account and re-enabling the built-in mail notifications, I've recovered my battery life! Today I've been going 15 hours and I've still got 31%. And that was with fairly heavy use and leaving data on all day!
I stress that the Yahoo Mail setting is the only thing I've changed since last week. I've been very patient to make one change at a time so I could track this down properly.
So, anyone with primarily weak signals care to test this theory as well? I really feel this did it, but could use some confirmation considering all the previous variables. I'll do some further testing myself this week. Maybe a day with and a day without. It's difficult not to just jump to GummyCharged 2.0, but I really want to confirm this issue first.
Some confirmation can be found by googling the issue: "yahoo mail android battery drain". Hope this may help someone else.
Yes I have notice this too. I live in a non 4g fringe 3 g area and my battery drains fast as well. Yes I have yahoo mail and have since uninstalled it and have the stock email app pull my mail from yahoo. Also any app like yahoo messenger also runs in the back ground and no matter how much u do a force off, it restart a few mins later. Here is a list of app that run in the background.
A. Yahoo mail
B. Yahoo messenger
C. Live holdem poker.
D. Maps
E. Gallery
F. Gmail
G. Stock email app
H. Music
I. Search
And of all the rest of the stock functions. I wish that most of these apps would only run when you launch them and when you close it, they would stay shut off untill needed. Freezing the apps work but you cant use them until u unfreeze them. I know that this is done for a reason, so that there would be no lag. So I guess these are some of the things we have to live with.
One of the big mistakes samsung did with the charge is not install enuff onboard memory. So when you have all these programs running it does cause a lag and massive battery drain on our phone. As far as the data connection, I can not complain about the phone cause this is a problem that BIG RED is causing an additional drain on the battery. The mighty no connection and searching for service LOL..
END RANT..

Glad to see it's not just me. You'd think a "push" service would use less battery, but in the case of yahoo mail it seems the opposite.
I'm not as worried about ram usage as network usage though. With a custom rom it seems fairly responsive. It's the network use that I wish we had more fine control over at the system level. If I could just make some of the offending apps act less aggressively that would be great.
In fact, I wish the OS had a smart signal monitoring feature that could tell apps to throttle back until a strong signal was available.

I noticed this too. It was causing a huge drain! The only reason I got the yahoo mail app was because the stock mail app wouldn't let me sign in to my yahoo account. Does anybody know the reason for this? It worked less than a week ago...
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
The stock mail app is working fine for me. Never had trouble logging in. Maybe try from a computer to see if it needs to verify your account or something?
So far today I am using 5% per hour with yahoo's app disabled and very heavy usage of phone and screen. During one hour with little use it only used 2%. Very acceptable. I'll try turning yahoo on for the afternoon and see the difference.

What i did is uninstall the yahoo mail app and load the stock email app, you can do all the same stuff with the stock email app as you can with yahoo mail. Also I found that the email app that comes preloaded with the gc 2.0 has issue with yahoo, and other email accounts ( Iam sure other people did not have this problem but i was one of few that did. So please dont flame me and say that iam the only one with this problem). What i did is pull the stock app off my tablet and installed this one on my phone, all problems are gone, i can receive and now repley, create and send my emails. I can now easily setup all of my email accounts, aol-yahoo-comcast, etc. If you can pull the stock email app that was preloaded on the phone before you modded or install any custom rom/themes. Also if you have yahoo messenger installed, get rid of it. I found that between the yahoo mail and messenger app my battery life was almost cut in half.
Ya I'm running gc 2.0 with the same problem. Any way you could post a link of the stock app?

Update
So, I finished my testing:
Yahoo Mail app notifications turned off:
Used 35% battery in first 6 hours of day with heavy use of phone
Yahoo Mail app notifications turned on:
Used 55% battery in next 6 hours of day with very light use of phone
So, simply enabling the Yahoo Mail app notifications increased my battery use more than 50% per hour. This is even though I went from heavy usage before the change to practically no usage after the change.
Needless to say, I'll be leaving Yahoo Mail notifications off and let the built in e-mail app notify me. Which it does a very fine job of by the way. It's still "push" even.
So, I'm wondering how to find other offending apps. I'd have thought Spare Parts would tell me, but apparently Yahoo Mail was hiding its network usage behind some other title. Perhaps it's lumped under Dialer or one of the mysterious user ID's that show up (1043, I think?).
Anyone know of another network usage watchdog type app for our phones that might shed more light?

Go into your system/app folder and delete the stock email app that you have installed. Of course by deleting this you may/may not lose all of your accounts you have setup. Then download the link and install this one ( also make sure you rename the app to Email.apk ) i dont think you have too, but if you have a problem installing it, try it, you never know). Problem is since you allready have the email app installed, it will not let you install another one. I know this to work, for i have tried several different version that have been floating around these site, and they are all the same version, So i pulled the stock email app that i have on my Gtab and used that one on my Charge and it works great. push/pull-reply-create all works now, as well as being able to create all email accounts that i have without any issues. Just make sure once you have installed that you restart your phone for all to take into effect. Look at the app page on the phone and make sure you have the white envolope w/green @ symbol on it. If you do and you launch the app you should have a page loaded that has all the different email accounts that you can use to automatically setup. Just enter you [email protected] account and the password and then click next and if all setup correctly it will prompt you to pick a nickname and name to use for that account. Finished.. LOL

Not to sound dumb.....I like the stock email app as well and it does not work on my phone. I DL your file. now I place it on my sd card and flash it, is that how I install it?
No you dont flash it. Once you delete the email app you have in your system folder. Then you just click on the email app to install it. Of course you will have to redo your settings, and then you should be good to go.

Did you try to add it manually as an IMAP account? Enter your email address and password and then select manual setup or whatever that option is. Google the SSL IMAP yahoo settings for android and you should be able to get it. That is how I got mine working.

Finally for those who use Hotmail an official app with push mail and a widget not bad although the widget isn't very aesthetically pleasing.

I'm gonna try this one out... there's always the stock app, which does it job good enough, imo... but this one might have something the stock one hasn't...
Thx!
Not a bad app, I expected worse.
nice one

I've been using this for several months as the SEVEN Beta, it let you add any email account including corporate/exchange ones. Still using it and it works really well.

Yea, it has Yahoo and Gmail and you can add Exchange accounts too as long as the account has webmail access. I think you can also add custom POP3/IMAP accounts. But for some reason the Beta is no longer available on their site. You can probably find it through a google search though it's called Seven Mail and IM Beta.
Thanks for sharing.

Yeah same problem , it realy drains the battery.
I realy liked the app because of it html support in email, but it realy sucks because of the battery drain!
Anyone knowing a good alternative with html support and a clean interface?
I'm happy with the battery life using the app. As a matter of fact I switched to using the Hotmail app from using an exchange based email. Under Exchange, push was constantly sending POP3 requests and I was getting errors saying that I was exceeding the maximum number of POP3 requests. Battery life was terrible.
Under Hotmail/SEVEN app, battery life is great and no POP3 errors.
HOWEVER, my problems include
1. I cant add or update my contacts since it only displays the names of the contacts and no other information... like email, phone etc.
2. Some emails won't show the message body. Still trying to determine why certain bodies won't show but the majority will.
Hopefully they can fix both BUGS. Other than that, it's a decent app.
thanks for sharing, really good
Running Stock Rom (2.3.6 Rooted)
I've been using my Yahoo account on the stock EMail app since day one of having this phone. I've had no issues until a few hours ago.
"!" in a yellow triangle on my notification bar pops up saying, "Unable to Login/Login Failed." Sorry, can't remember the exact message.
I tried deleting the account and re-adding it, to no avail. I can login to my account via my computer and the actual Yahoo! Mail app.
But I do like the ability to have access to all my email accounts in one app.
Thanks,
DK
I answered this for someone else a week or two ago. There is no fixing it. I had this happen to me and i worked on it non stop for a day to get it fixed. I got so pissed i called Motorola. I usually never call about anything, i avoid doing that. Motorola don't even know how to fix it. You have to set up your Yahoo account with the default mail app manually. Google the settings for Yahoo pop mail. I don't know them off the top of my head plus mine is a att.net account that runs through Yahoo so it's probably different.
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
Just a shot in the dark here. Sometimes they change the email settings. Like server settings etc. Find out from Yahoo what your settings should be for your phone. If nothing you've done has changed this could be the issue. This happened to me with ATT about a month ago.
The End.
Need to setup manually both incoming and outgoing servers.
Or you can try K9-mail.
Always good to know...thanks for the replies.
I'll just go with the Yahoo!Mail app. It's really not a bad app anymore (used to be super slow).

Back when the phone first came out I got the app for about an hour or so.
It was extremely slow and laggy. Haven't noticed any of that this time around.
Snappy, updates quickly, and has all the options (unlike the stock app).
These are the settings i use with built in email app.
Go to manual setup > IMAP account and change to these settings....

Hi all,
Due to the nature of my Job, I should have access to Email, as soon as someone emails me.
I use, Hotmail, Yahoo and MAINLY GMAIL.
I do not have any problem in installing a paid App. I can invest $25 for a decent App on the Android market. But I could not find one.
All the Push Email Apps, they say, that, they will do it every 15 Minutes, during the Peak Time.
But still, I have to open the Email each time and refresh it manually.
Since I have the Unlimited Data Plan with Verizon, I really don't bother much, about the Data usage, even it uses more Data.
Also I recently got the Zero Lemon 6300 mAh Battery from Amazon as well. It solved my battery problems.
My requirement:
If I get a Email, I should get a notification sound, Phone should Vibrate and it should be in the next Minute.
When I used to have iPhone4, my company Email used to reach my inbox in less than a Minute. But I don't know which app is the best one in the Android Market.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
But I can say, I tried lot of different Apps like, EmoZee Secure Push Email.
To some extent, the stock gmail app is better. But I want all of them in a single App, just like the iphone. But I don't know which app actually solves that purpose, with real time push for every 5 Minutes.
Thanks a lot guys and Peace.
sincerely
qzmpal.

Yes. I have tried Mail Droid and Emoze Secure Push Email.
After 2 -3 days of use, the speed with which the Emails are delivered are
Emoze Secure Push
Gmail Stock App
Mail Droid
This is my personal experience though. May be I might have missed some other options. But as far as I Know, I check thoroughly the options in these 3 Apps and I think, Emoze is the better one till now.
But I'm open for suggestions even on the Mail Droid as well. But I did not try K-9. I downloaded that and I'm using it right now. Lets see how this goes.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thank You.
I have been using K-9 mail for 2 years and it pushes correctly. If you feel adventurous you can always visit their D/L page and try the "beta" versions.
