[Q] Hotmail with Email App - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone get their hotmail account to sync up the their transformer email app? I didn't have any problems with any other email address just my 2 hotmail accounts
I've tried the POP
POP3 server - pop3.live.com
Port - 995 (you can also try 110)
Security type to - SSL
Touch Delete email from server if you want to change this option.
SMTP server - smtp.live.com
Port - 587 (you can also try 25)
Security type to - TLS
Require Sign in should be checked.
I can't get it to get verify incoming port, always fails on username password
Also I tried the Exchange Settings
Domain\Username: Clear out and put in your full hotmail address
Password: if not pre-filled, obviously put in your hotmail password
Server: m.hotmail.com
Check "Use Secure Connection (SSL)"
No luck on it either, doesn't seem to find the server.
Anyone find a method that works for hotmail?

Works fine for me for my msn email account, I dont remember doing anything special either.

is your account hotmail "plus"...the one you can pay so you can have POP service?
also if you had hotmail for a long time (i think is more than 3 years), hotmail will grandfather your account to included POP for free..

Yeah, its got pop support, I've had it syncing fine on my droid and my gtab, but can't get it to go with on the transformer for some reason.

I have just a normal '@hotmail.com' (not a plus account) account. It works fine with that. Seemed to detect all the settings for me automatically.

Thats whats weird, is just inputting my user name and password in the add email account, get the warning setup could not finish, cannont connect to server and lights up the manual button.
Tried both pop and exchange settings, neither connects. This is the first device I've had problems with this. Does the same thing for both of my accounts, getting frustrated.

Don't know if this will help you or not but I've just checked the settings on mine. In the incoming settings section, the server it checks is 'm.hotmail.com' and it's using a secure socket layer (SSL) connection. 'Accept all SSL certificates' is unchecked. Good luck.

I got this fixed. It ended up being my password. I use Keepass on my computer and for android so it just uses randomly generated passwords. They worked fine on everything else but not this. Was getting fed up with the username/password not correct warning went in and changed it to something simpler and it finally connected.
Then took a couple of tries to get a new password out of keepass that would work, but finally got it. My guess is it wasn't liking the length?? I don't know but I'm up and running now.

Fuze email send issue

Hey, I just got the fuze and setup my gmail. I can receive, but can't send. Whey it tried to send I get the message "The messag(s) could not be sent. Check that you have the network coverage and that yhour account information is correct. Then try resending".
I did verify my account info was correct and I double checked the gmail settings. Also I thought maybe the proxy was active so I did run the disable proxy.
Anyone else have this issue?

If you have AT&T set your SMTP to: CWMX.COM
This is a known, and now fixed Microsoft problem with WM 6.1 Here is the link to the download on the Microsoft site.

I got the same error trying to send an email to Gmail IMAP server over a 3G connection. Does the WinMo 6.1 problem/fix apply to Gmail IMAP the same as it does to POP3 accounts?
Sure does.
Brian
Thanks for the verification, Brian. I applied the fix, and Gmail IMAP is working as it should.

This forum is a treasure...
Confirmation - It Works
This resolved the GMail outbound email issue for me as well.
Thanks to all of you who help others around here!
Okay, so I'm having this problem as well. I installed the Microsoft update, but like ... it's still not working.
I recently switched from a Tytn II/Tilt and Touch Pro/Fuze. I had email working on my Tilt, but it won't let me send on the Fuze. I am 100% sure all the settings are correct, and like I said, the update is installed. Aside from the proxy server thing, I have no ideas of how to fix this. But I don't know how the proxy server thing works.

What provider do you have, what account are you trying to set up, what ROM are you on, etc, etc, etc.....
I hope you weren't expecting someone to answer your vague question...
Yes, you mentioned Tilt and Fuze which tells me that your on AT&T but you really haven't provided enough info to assist you.
For your proxy, go to Start\Settings\Connection\Connections\Manage Existing Connections\Proxy Settings and check "TAhis network connects to the internet" uncheck "this network uses a proxy" and clear out any proxy listed.
Also go to Advanced\Select Networks and set both to MediaNet.
Depending on WHAT e-mail your trying to set up, check your settings for the outgoing server.
For example default settings for Yahoo put in smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com but I have to remove .mobile to get it to send.
Fuze and gmail
I have pop enabled for gmail--do I need imap instead?
I can't seem to connect--it rejects my password.
Hotmail works.
Pop3 through Lunarpages server works fine.
I can access my gmail just fine on my desktop computer.
oopsss, it decided to start working..didn't do anything different, not even reboot. persistence pays..
Fuze--change default email account?
How do I change my default email account?
I have several apps that send email to the default email set in Windows, and they all end up in the Outlook E-mail account Outbox, which is the Exchange one, and I don't use it.
Can't delete or change it. AT&T support was clueless.

Email

When I setup my email with the email icon as well as with the gmail app, everything synced up nicely, but i have not been able to send or receive emails. Says "sending" and nothing happens and new emails do not come in. Also it seems to say unable to connect to server a lot in the email icon. Although i have almost a full wi-fi connection. Ideas? Thanks.

Thanks rjan, but i'm still having trouble with this. For the email icon, since i had already set it up, i went in and hit the menu button and wen to "more" I saw the income mail field and changed it from imap.gmail.com to m.google.com and then when i hit next it still says unable to connect to server. I have a wifi connection so not sure whats up with this... also having trouble with the gmail icon which i also synced and setup, but after it synced, i cant send or receive new emails. Ideas?
All it needed was to be restarted

Lol for Gmail when you choose manual. Use Microsioft Exchange setting not Imap that's why

Deleting emails from phone while keeping them on the server.

My sister recent went from a Blackberry to a Thunderbolt. She liked how on the BB she could delete an email off her phone and still keep it on the server and wants to know if it's possible to do this on the Tbolt. She doesn't use gmail. It's a Cox Communications email account. Is it possible to do this on Android?

Stolen from another forum (original post regarded an EVO - but likely applies to all Android OS phones.
----------------
Mail accounts use one of 3 protocols: Exchange, IMAP and POP. Both Hotmail (as of a few weeks ago) and Exchange use over-the-air (Active) sync technology so when you delete a message on your phone, it's removed from the server and thus your client program as well (web/Outlook). IMAP also supports a similar 2-way update.
In order to only delete messages off your phone but not the server, you need to set up your mail accounts with POP instead. POP downloads a copy of and sends mail to/from the server -- nothing else. Hotmail supports POP but your Exchange server may or may not (a lot of larger companies policies do not). You'd have to contact the Administrators to find that out.
If they don't allow POP on Exchange, then ask if they can forward a copy of your mail to another public mail service, like Gmail. Then you can add the Gmail account to your phone via POP.
Remember, if you still want to sync your Contacts and Calendar with Exchange, you need to keep those and just uncheck Mail instead of deleting the Exchange account entirely.
-----------------
My 2c:
Not sure if it will work - I personally just delete on the fly, be damned the server. However, when I had an old LG v11000 (Envy Touch) I had the VZW email service on it - and even if I deleted from the phone, it was sitting on the server when I logged into Gmail. It was set up "POP3" style.
IF you go under mail/menu/more/settings/send & Receive you can check the box that says "delete mail on server" to turn it on or off. I turn it off so that it will leave a copy on the server but remove it from my phone.

I am having the same, or a similar problem. On my PC I use POP3 to access my mail; the ISP recommended using IMAP on the HTC (with different "in" and "out" mailbox settings for the HTC IMAP i.e. on the HTC two different settings for in and out). Was working fine but then found that messages I had received on my HTC were not appearing on my PC when I got home (my PC had been off, usually it is on, syncing every 2 minutes). I think this is because I had deleted them from my HTC in the meantime.
Trouble is, there is no setting ""delete mail on server" to check or uncheck under mail/menu/more/settings/send & receive, so I cannot follow the above advice. Only Mail size limit, Update schedule, Download options (it's not in there), Auto download message, Folder to sync, Reply with original text and Always bcc me.
What am I missing please ? Software says it is Android 2.3.3.
Thanks in advance.
I use K9 mail and go to more/settings/fetching mail/when I delete
I am flummoxed. I changed the HTC settings from IMAP to POP and did some tests; nothing being deleted ie still available on server. But when I looked at "Send and receive" options, I now have a list with 2 new option, inluding ""delete mail on server". It was not there before. Honest !!
I have been bak and re-set the thing to IMAP, and then the option about deleting from the server disappears again. So I am not going mad. But why should the options be different ?
low on memory
My father In-law has a Thunderbolt and is constantly having a low on memory issue on his phone.. When I go and look at his app's, his exchange is hogging up 2.6 gigs of memory while everything else (APPS) is using only KB'S of memory nothing big.. How would I be able to transfer his exchange email to the SD card,, He has a 32 gig card with 26 gigs of it being free.
Thanks for your help.

Yahoo mail stops working.

Yahoo mail works fine for a week than stops. Says it can't send. So I go back into the settings that I have not changed and it says that authentication failed on outgoing server. User name and password incorrect. Don't see how since I never changed it. So i put the correct one back in. Doesn't work. I delete email account. Enter same user/pass and ot works fine. Few days later same thing. I have tried this on pop and IMAP. And suggestions?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
Same here. I didn't change anything but somehow it stopped working since yesterday.
This similar problem happened like 1 month ago and nobody seem could fix it.
The good thing was it came back to normal after a few days. It seemed Yahoo is the one having problem and it went back normal after they fixed their system.
I hope same thing is happening now.
UPDATE!! Now it works! here is how:
- I delete HTC Mail widget
- Try to reinstall widget and setup new account
- Widget said my Yahoo account is locked and I need to go to my computer to log in & unlock manually
- I tried to log in through my pc and my password was denied several times (Weird.. since it was ok yesterday)
- I chose option that My Password Is Not Working
- Reset my password and log in successfully thru my pc
- Go back to HTC Mail, setup with new account info..and VOILA...it works again.
this worked for me
From:
mobile.yahoo dotcom /mail/android (I'm not allowed to post links yet)
And I'm doing this to get to an sbcglobal.net account which is ATT which is for some unknown reason controlled by yahoo!. Note: these setting are different than the settings I need to use for my laptop. There its a POP3.
Good luck:
IMAP is another way you can get Yahoo! Mail on your phone. Using IMAP you can download messages with your mobile client, so you can access your mail even when not connected to the mobile Internet.
How to set up Yahoo! Mail with your mobile client using IMAP
1. On your phone, press < Home >, then open the Email application.
2. On the 'Your accounts' page, select Next to get started with setup.
3. Enter your full Yahoo! address and password, then select Next.
4. On the next screen, you can give the account a nickname and choose the name to display on your outgoing messages. Tap Done.
If prompted, supply the following information:
1. Incoming Server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
2. Outgoing Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
3. Incoming Port - 993 (requires SSL)
4. Outgoing Port - 465 (requires SSL)
5. Username: full email address ([email protected])
6. Password: is the password you login to Yahoo! with

I concur, I've been using similar IMAP settings for over 12 months that have never failed me yet, ..first on my desire and now on my sensation.
Similar to above suggested settings, with different ports.
Here's my trusty old settings for Yahoo mail....
Incoming settings
Protocol: IMAP
Enter your complete email address for user name, example: [email protected]
Enter password as normal.
IMAP server: imap-ssl.mail.yahoo.com
Security type: None
Server port: 143
Outgoing server settings
Enter your complete email address again for user name
Enter password as normal again.
SMTP server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Security type: None
server port: 587

Try the Yahoo Mail app, it's pretty good and it's push.

[Q] Stock email client doesn't sync with gmail

My stock email client on my Nexus 5 was working perfectly fine with my gmail. I had a break in at my house and my tablet was stolen. I changed all my passwords to prevent any illicit activities. Since I have changed the password, the stock email client has stopped working with gmail. Every time I try to set it up, I get "couldn't finish - Username or password is incorrect" message. I have tried the "edit details" or manual setup options. Checked username and password, select imap as the server, SSL/TLS security type, and port 993. I get the same message when I hit next. I am using the stock ROM that was rooted. The root is lost too, but I will work on that later.
I have cleared the data and cache for the client multiple times but that didn't help either.
I have the gmail app on the phone as well and that works fine but it doesn't give any notifications. I would be OK if the gmail app gave me notifications whenever I got new emails so I wouldn't have to use the stock email client, but I prefer the stock email since that was setup as the default email app.
I have also tried K9 but that doesn't show anything when I launch the app.
Ideally I like to use the stock app but I will be OK with the gmail app becoming the default app. Any thing that I can implement to fix this?
