So I got my phone exchanged for a new one a few days ago, now when I try to add my yahoo account to the email app it keeps saying that some yahoo accounts aren't supported and immediately says wrong pass or user name. Any ideas? My yahoo account worked flawlessly on the first phone. Both were captivates.

Hmm. . I thought yahoo started a charged subscription service for use of pop3?

Yeah, that's been my experience. My yahoo mail worked only if I was using 3g and would fail while using wireless.
Try using k9 and see if that works for you. I eventually gave up and moved my yahoo account to gmail. I like gmail formatting better anyway

I gave up and just use yahoo in the browser. IMAP in the email android app with yahoo was very unreliable for me. Didn't check sometimes, hung up, etc.

Thanks for the replies, and what do you mean "moved my yahoo account to gmail" you mean there's a way to transfer anything that was set to the yahoo account over to gmail? basically rendering the yahoo account useless? Is that it?

What I did is create a new gmail account (because I don't want my yahoo mail mixed with my "real" email box). Then I went to Settings->Accounts and Import and told it to import my yahoo mail account. I waited 3 or 4 hours and bam, all my yahoo mail was in the new gmail account... it even created tags for each folder that was in yahoo... amazingly painless.
Because I wasn't sure it'd do what it did I was pretty piecemeal about it. I set gmail to pull emails from yahoo without deleting it first (read the yahoo asia change), then told it to start deleting it from the yahoo server. I'm still keeping the yahoo account around because I have literally years of accounts tied to it but I'll just be using gmail from now on.
This worked for me. I now have Yahoo working on WiFi on the built in mail application with 2.2.

whoa....finally something that works! Running 2.2 beta with the stock mail app. I had tried the "mobile" instead of "android" on the servers but it never worked for me. Just tried sending myself an email and it worked on wifi.
Great job thanks for the settings. The only thing i did differently was instead of selecting "SSL" i selected "SSL accept all certificates"

Im looking for an advanced version of the gmail client. Paid or free, it doesnt matter.
I need the basic functionality currently on offer (just for gmail addresses really), but with more options. Landscape view like in touchwiz would be nice, as well as better attachment options, etc..
Pretty vague but you know what i mean
Why not just use the stock Samsung email client?

Dave

later, in account options, is possible to specify the "scan new messages timeout" that

First of all you are wrong in that IMAP doesn't poll - it can use poll at intervals if you wish. IMAP IDLE is a pseudo push, and that is what you are thinking of, but it is still a form of polling in essence.
However, all of this is immaterial!
In the stock email client, when you set up a new account you enter your email address and password. At this stage, you could click next and it would set up your Gmail account as IMAP. However, if you click Manual Setup, you get 3 options:
POP
IMAP
Exchange
Select Exchange account and then enter the follow:
Domain\Username : [email protected] (or [email protected] if you are using GApps for Domains)
Exchange Server : m.google.com (for both regular GMail and GApps for Domains email)
Press Next, and then you get the option to change the "Email Check Frequency", which by default should be "Automatic (Push)".
Job done! True push on stock email client.

Dave
Wow, just wow. I didn't know about that exchange stuff. That's insane! Thanks!
hi,
i have configured my gmail account in order to send emails using another identities.
in gmail is possible to select the identity of the sender, but not in stock email app.
it's correct or i'm wrong
Thanks for the info, I just set this up on my tab and I can use the account to send mail but it seems like it's not receiving; also when I click the sync button it says unable to connect to server. very strange.
Thanks. It work perfectly in my tab.

AWSOME!
just tested this on my tab i like the mail app a little bit better then the gmail IMO
so it seems I'm the only one getting this connection error when I attempt to setup gmail exchange on the samsumg email app =(
Has anyone tried this with more than one exchange server? When I try to add an exchange server, the exchange button is grayed out. I'm guessing it's because I already have a different exchange e-mail setup?
Edit: Interesting - I deleted my other exchange account and I'm getting the same "Unable to connect" to server error message everyone else is getting. I even changed the domain to Google (using some old knowledge I used to do something similar to this to sync my contacts with Google on my old Windows phone devices: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138636).
Any ideas?
I had set up several gmail exchange accounts, and they all worked. However i think that app is memory hog, it's slow, with buggy notifications and in the end i switched back to the standard gmail one. Did you notice that there isn't really any alternative email client on the market?

My mom and dad have yahoo mail accounts, which I set up in the default mail app for them, and now they have yahoo's app, and let me tell you, most all of the questions they ask me needing help revolve around yahoo not working right or something.
I can't say definitively, but yahoo seems to have a lot of problems... On THEIR end.
I dropped yahoo like a bad habit a long time ago.
I recommend setting up email forwarding form your Yahoo account to your Gmail account. Problem solved!
When you set it up manually do you use these settings:
Incoming Server Settings
Username: <yourusername>@yahoo.com
Password: Your Password
IMAP Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 993
Security Type: SSL (accept all certificates)
IMAP path prefix: blank
Outgoing Server Settings
SMTP Server: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 587
Security Type: None
Require Sign In: Checked
Username: <yourusername>@yahoo.com
Password: Your password

I might want to do this for my mom. That's done through the account to be forwarded (yahoo), the destination (gmail), or both?
I can find out on my own, but if you drop back in and want to give me an easy answer that's ok, too.

You have to set it up in yahoo, I don't remember if you set anything up in gmail, but you do have to click a link to confirm. If yahoo doesn't show the forwarding option, change the zone to yahoo asia. That's how mine is set so I can enable pop3.

Ok, so a few days ago signed in with my user and pass & was able to get into yahoo for the stock email program.
Everything was working fine until i decided to send an email. User name and/or password invalid... Uhhhh what about all the emails I've been getting?
Ok, so I deleted the account and tried again.
User name and/or password invalid. What???!?! Ok so now I can't even add my yahoo account!
So i went to yahoo online, put in my user and pass - worked just fine.
What the heck? Has anyone else had any issues with setting up a yahoo email?
Thanks.
No problems here with yahoo email, send and receive just fine.
I'm using following settings :-
send
imap.mail.yahoo.com SSL 993
receive
smtp.mail.yahoo.com ssl 465
works a treat
Wow, thanks.
Very Strange that worked. It seems like HTC is added at the beginning of each imap and smtp server address.
I removed it at incoming and outgoing and it went through. Why the heck would HTC add those if they dont work?

Ah yes I recall that when I set mine up, like you say wtf is that about?
Did the same for me. Took off the htc . Works good now
Only reason I can think they would do that is maybe HTC is trying re route the mail to their servers to maybe push it faster?
I dont know, maybe its a beta thing and its still in its early days of testing. But I have set up 100 HTC phones and I have never seen HTC in the beginning of the server address.
But what really gets me stumped is the fact that the first 3 days I was getting mail WITH HTC in the front of all server addresses?
In addition to removing the htc. from the outgoing settings, check your username. When it sets up auto, it plugs in your entire email address. I had you remove the @yahoo from there also.
I like to use the yahoo mail client from the market. It pushes it I believe.
I have not been receiving emails from the stock Yahoo email program since yesterday morning but I can send emails from it. However, sending and receiving from stock Gmail works fine.
I tried the above settings (removing htc.), reinstalling Yahoo email, syncing, refreshing and rebooting, no help. T-mobile tech support says it may be a Yahoo server problem and only suggests to install Yahoo Mail app from the market (I did and it works, but I rather use the stock Yahoo mail).
Anyone has the same or similar problem w/ the stock Yahoo mail? Any other suggestions/fix?
I also tried removing the HTC from the settings and still won't receive any emails. I don't like using the yahoo mail app because it just add to battery usage since its pushed

I called HTC yesterday, they had me try these settings but DID NOT work for me:
For INCOMING server settings:
Protocol: POP
POP server: pop.mail.yahoo.com

For OUTGOING server settings:
SMTP server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Security type: SSL
Server port: 995
He said it is likely that Yahoo has problems connecting to Android and even Google has had similar issues. If this issue is not fixed before my 14 day return policy expires I will exchange for another phone.
Same problem on HTC Incredible 2, after alot of wasted time I couldnt get to work with IMAP settings I found a work arround to be able to use POP instead without yahoo plus. Sign in to your email, on the top where it says "hi (your email)" left click and click account in menu. It asked me to login again and took me to account info. scroll down and click "Set language, site, and time zone" set regional site as "Yahoo asia" and when you click on anything else it asks you to save, save. Now you can go into mail options and "pop and fowarding". Now you can setup a yahoo account with the default pop settings!!! and Yahoo mail works again on "mail app" !! : )
i tried that but the only options it gives me in the pop/fowarding is either have spam or block spam or foward to another email
Try This ..
Seems to work for me everytime ..

I think polling eats more battery life than push. If you poll your email your phone has to make a connection to the server to poll it for new mail. This happens every x amount of minutes or hours. So even if there is no new mail the phone still will connect to the server and uses data and when your using data you're using more battery. With push email there server pushes the data to the phone only when it has to resulting in less overall trips to the server. Say you have your email to set to poll every 30 minutes. Its now 9 am. At noon you receive an email. By that time if you were polling your phone would have polled the server 6 times. Sending data to the server and waiting for a response from the server. If you had your email to push then when you got the email at 12 then the server would push it at 12 and that's it... I always prefer push email over pull.

Using default settings w/ the older version of Yahoo mail works perfectly.
Unfortunately I am using the "New" Yahoo mail account which currently cannot be switched back to the older version.
I sent Yahoo Mobile team a message regarding this issue (not receiving incoming Yahoo email from stock app). I will follow up w/ their reply.
In the meantime I'm using Yahoo mail app from the market; not liking it and Gmail sounds very tempting

Please explain what you mean by the "older version" of Yahoo mail. I tried this as well with no success.
I have been in contact with htc about the problem and they maintain that the issue is with Yahoo and an "unstable" implementation on Yahoo's side. They claim this is why Yahoo released an Android app for their mail system. Asked why it seems other devices can connect, they replied that "perhaps other manufacturers have found a way around the issue and modified the mail app on their device accordingly". Outside of the usual reset the data for the mail app, and factory reset the device there appears to be no answer forthcoming from htc.
I am able to connect via POP, and for now I think that may be the best option...
"perhaps other manufacturers have found a way around the issue and modified the mail app on their device accordingl" how can HTC rep even say this there other HTC Android phones that don't have this issue
Hi-
I am using the new BAMF SENSE 3.0 GB RC2 rom and it is working great. However, I am not able to retrieve any emails from a yahoo account that I have set up. Does anyone have a solution or a fix for this? Thank you in advance.
Try reinstalling or even a reboot and see if that works, you would be surprised.
Hi. Thanks for the tip. I tried deleting/re-installing as well as rebooting the phone- I am still having problems. I also wiped and re-flashed the ROM, still no luck.

Are you using the HTC mail app or the Yahoo Mail app from the market to get your mail? I am using the yahoo mail app from the market and have no problems.
I am using trying to use the HTC mail app. I tried changing the settings as suggested by Shawn Haz Root, but it still does not download any of my messages. The interesting thing is that I can use the HTC mail app to send messages from my Yahoo accoount. I just can't seem to retrieve any messages. Maybe it has something to do with the ROM?
