I've been doing some searching across the web and I've yet to find a definitive answer on this issue. I'm trying to get my school email account to link to my Sensation via IMAP. My school uses Gmail as its mail server, so you'd think it would've been easy to link it. But I have yet to make this work after I've enabled IMAP on my email account, and tried numerous configurations in the IMAP server settings of the Sense mail app. Could anyone offer some help with this issue?
My school email address configuration is: "[email protected]"
Did you try setting up gmail with your school's email address?

Yeah, I've selected the Gmail option when creating a new mail account and entered all the information I had. If it helps any, my browser's url says "mail.google.com" when I'm logged into my school's email account. I've tried "imap.mail.google.com" and "mail.google.com" along with "pride.hofstra.edu" and "imap.pride.hofstra.edu" in the IMAP server settings, but still no luck.
Try forwarding your school email account to another email account. I had this same problem and I just forwarded to my gmail account and everything is good now.
incoming server is imap.gmail.com if you're using gmail app/servers, and port 993 with SSL
@op, just call ur skool's tech team or whatever n have them help u with that. I had to do the same since the incoming and outgoing servers r diff, and have diff port #s. All this I dint know n I was wondering y my setups never worked.

Dude... you guys are making this 100 times more complicated than it actually is.
Enter it as a gmail account WITH NO SPECIAL SETTINGS and just enter your school email address for the gmail id, then enter your password as usual.
I did this for my work email and it worked in two seconds.

I've tried entering my information without any settings and the same issue about being verify IMAP settings appears. I entered "imap.gmail.com" and, strangely, it says that my username/pass is invalid. I tried logging into my account via the regular gmail.com and it says it my name/pass is incorrect (weird?). I suppose I could just forward my school email to my regular Gmail as a second option.
I think this issue might be more complicated than it seems, since my school is somewhat known for its poor competency when integrating tech into its network. I suppose the incoming and outgoing servers are different or something. I'll ask around at tech support when I go back in a few weeks and see if I can get this cleared up. Btw, I'm actually a student staff member of my school's tech support team. Albeit, I was only recently hired. Thanks for the suggestions, everyone!
Just enter [email protected] as a Google account under menu, settings, accounts and sync.
To access it via web it should be https://my.hofstra.edu/cp/home/displaylogin?service=/mobile/index.jsp
Yes you should enable imap and pop settings. You can also configure your main Google account to send and receive for your edu account. I have like 5 emails routed through my main gmail.

Just tried that, and it says that the password is invalid. I only need to sign in once for my school account to access all my services. There's also no mobile version for login either. And my IMAP and POP settings are both enabled on the regular desktop version. I guess I'll just route my mail through Gmail. Sounds much easier to do!
I also just had my school's emails forwarded to my Gmail account. I haven't had any problems this way and it took two seconds.

Are you typing in the full email address or only the id? You need the full email. Password may also be case sensitive.

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?

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.

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.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
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?

So I finally got fed up with not being able to send emails through my hotmail account on my phone. I set it up as POP3. I also got fed up with my messages being deleted without me actually deleting them.
I did a quick search about trying to set up my hotmail account and didn't really find an answer. I don't want to root my phone just to get my e-mail to work. I don't want to go through a 3rd party (App via market) to get my e-mails. Is there really no way that I can get my hotmail to actually work on my phone??? I mean this is ridiculous. Something as simple as e-mail doesn't work properly.
I've had my hotmail account for over 10 years and it is my main e-mail.
I use MSN and have no issues. Only thing I had to change in the stock mail app was the Security type from SSL to TLS for the outgoing server.
thanks that actually worked.

Glad it worked out!
have you tried setting it up as an exchange account. works perfect on the mytouch4g. gives me push mail and leaves messages on the server.
Server/URL m.hotmail.com
Username Full e-mail address (such as: [email protected])
Domain Leave this blank
SSL Enable this
Certificate Accept the SSL certificate when prompted
wow thanks. this worked too. now i did use the search function before i posted this... lol. thanks guys you dont know how much of a headache you saved me.
no problem man push mail works better for me instant notification. i lurk here for a buddy that has an inspire.
ok so i accidently deleted the exchange account (trying to delete the POP3 account) and now it wont let me add it again =(. idk whats wrong.
went through now... strange
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
Security type: SSL
Server port: 993
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 ..
Yahoo
Incoming Setting
User Name:[email protected]
Password: Password of your yahoo mail

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
Is there anyway to speed the time the mail is sent to the phone from the time it is received by the service provider (that is like Hotmail or POP)
i have found it takes 30mins or more sometimes for the mail to reach my phone and it has been received by hotmail.
can anyone give me some advice on how to make this time shorter.

Most e-mail clients allow to adjust how often it queries the e-mail servers. It sounds like your client is using the default setting of 30 minutes or something. You'll have to go into the settings and adjust the "Check for e-mail every x minutes" setting.
If you want to receive Hotmail in realtime, you'll have to use the official Hotmail app in the Market.
X2 on the hotmail app, it works great. Also I found with the stock mail app when you delete messages it won't delete them off the server, the hotmail app does it instantly

How do you have hotmail setup? I have it setup as an exchange account in the default mail app and everything works instantly (receiving messages, deleting messages (which are also deleted from server), etc). I usually have it set to only sync every 15 minutes to save battery, but when set to push it works instantly.
server address: m.hotmail.com
username: full email address
Server requires SSL
This is what I have done and it is working great. Go to your email provider (Hotmail, POP3, whatever it may be) and set it to forward all your emails to your Gmail address (you do have a Gmail address, right?). Use the Gmail app on you phone and your emails will get pushed to you instantly. You can also set your Gmail account to use your other email address for replies and forwards, so it looks like it's coming from the original address and not Gmail.
Thanks for the excellent info people i really didnot know there was a hotmail app. but it was setup for every 30 minis. i have changed it to 5 mins cause thats the lowest i saw. i also want to find out about the the download messages which is set to 200. does this mean that the phone will only download 200 messages "per day"?
1 last final question which i am curious about. i have other folders created in my hotmail such as sent and drafts etc. usual folders is it possible to sync these folders with my phone inorder that my hotmail account will be in sync with my phone.
sometimes i use my computer to send out mails as well as my phone. but i cant sync the sent folder. please bear in mind i have not installed the hotmail app.
however i will try it as soon as i am finished sending this post.
thanks again people for your kind support.

You can try playing around with the settings in Gmail. I know they have fileters that you can set. I haven't tried it personally but I imagine you could set it to put the emails you forward from your other accounts into specific folders.
Try out K-9 off the Android Market
You'll never turn back. Fully customizable (potentially overwhelming).

Gday Guys,
Just wondered if anyone has had the same issues as i have with the HTC ONE XL (Telstra)?
The email setup facility on this handset gives you the obvious option to set up either yahoo, hotmail, gmail, other...
If you go into the hotmail setup (which i have), it sets up pretty much automatically after you input your username and password in. All good there. It shows my email address as normal, but when you go into it, and try and sync to view your emails, it states no emails present?
Its as if it is not syncing with the hotmail server...
Ive contacted HTC, they gave me 2 answers, the first was that they said there was no issues (useless), and the second guy i got stated they know about this and are going to be producing a patch to fix this issue....(mmmmm)...
I can add my email using the öther" option, and putting in the hotmail pop3 settings and it does accept my email address and even sync, but it will only allow me to sync once every 15 minutes... aarrrggghhhh.... lol..
Ive downloaded the hotmail app for the time being which works syncing my emails (inbox only), however it wont let me access my other folders within my hotmail account....
Just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced the same thing?
Thanks guys... sorry just noticed this is prob in the wrong section... can someone move as it wont let me delete it... grrr
Try setting your email up using IMAP or POP/SMTP. This should bypass any issues specific to your email provider.
