You are probably aware of this but if you use a third party email client, such as Touchdown, instead of the stock client you are not forced to lock your Xoom as Touchdown uses a password to open the application.

For the past month, I periodically get an error message - "Yahoo login failure"
This only happens on the T-Mobile network, not when I am on wi-fi.
Its not constant but happens often.
I'm running the stock Jelly Bean upgrade.
The error is in the stock Android email client version of Yahoo, not Yahoo's separate app.
Anyone else having this issue? Any ideas on the cure?

Lot of people are reporting the same issue. Apparently Yahoo has disabled access via 3rd party mail apps to promote their own mail client. They deny connections coming from mobile internet ISPs.

Thanks for clarifying that G. Its been driving me nuts. There's no way I'm adding a new app to my system, just to perform the work of built in email apps.
Especially with all the hassles users are reporting. I use Yahoo email a lot, but can easily switch over to Gmail in a heartbeat. Maybe I'll set Gmail to check
my yahoo email. Has anyone done this? Is this a decent work around.
Yahoo, if you are reading this, you are going to lose not gain users. There are too many better options.
You are becoming like "brain freeze" Nobody wants you.

Well I seem to be able to use the built in mail client for Yahoo if I am on wifi. its only when I am using the T-Mobile network that I cannot log in to Yahoo.
Change the APN. It worked for me.

is there a way to get a forced pin code on only the stock email client, i work at a hospital and i need my email but it forces me to have a pin on my phone is there a way to force pin unlock only when opening my email? the pin lock screen limits a lot of functionality like using google now from my pocket and other cool things. do any of you have a solution?

You can flash the modded email apk's in the Apps/Themes section that bypasses the security to note force a pin code at all.

Iphone user just switched back to android n5. Is there any way to avoid device control encryption on work email in gmail?
It claims it wants control over everything in my phone.
Think there are third party apps allowing it but what about standard mail app?

Last I checked there was no hack for lollipop standard email app. I am using mailwise, free with exchange hack and pretty much similar to stock email app.
Does anybody know if by setting up an exchange activesync account, the fingerprint scanner can still be used or android reverts to PIN/PASSWORD as is the case now with face unlock & pattern?
I know that Android by default does the latter, but there is a chance Samsung has circumvented it and implemented in a way that Apple does with touch ID-pissing off IT people who would love to be able to disable it.

On current Samsung phones with fingerprint scanner, fingerprint can be used with exchange active sync. But I think your company it administrator could set the security policy to disallow it.

Great, thanks. I just remembered I have kept the MS outlook version that requires no PIn and in case they do set a restricted policy I will use that or the hacked AOSP email client version of it works, then use the scanner to unlock/lock
Can someone who has access to an S6 confirm whether the fingerprint reader is still grayed out like the current Samsung phones? It seems like it is more of a Microsoft issue than a Samsung issue.
Has anyone had a chance to test the fingerprint scanner with a locked down exchange account?
I expect it to behave the same way as note 4. Once exchange policy is enforced the option gets greyed out and cannot be used, have to use a password. I have kept the modded AOSP version of the email app( will have to see if it works on TouchWiz) or use the initial versions of outlook app that do not require a Pin/pass then activate the fingerprint option as security

Doesn't get greyed out for me. I think it depends on your company IT policy.

Yes it works for me. It didn't work with S5 but it works now with s6 :good:.
I have a Note Edge (Kit Kat) and it is greyed out for me.
Is there anything I can do to allow the fingerprint security?
Will upgrading to Lollipop make a difference?
I can confirm that S6 works just fine with fingerprint scanner and Exchange policy enabled. What a relief I think it is more related to revamped version of the E-mail client doing the hack in similar way as iPhones do.

So does that mean it should work with the note edge?

I suggest to check if you have Android 5.0.2 and Email client version 1.0.0.388356 (5.0.2) or above. If it is the case I think you can assume it will work.

Thank you for very specific answer.
How can I check email client version number?

You can do it in the App Manager, look for the E-mail app and once you click on it you will see its version number.

Unfortunately it's 4.42 [emoji20]
I have exchange and fingerprint working perfectly together. Using official MS Outlook app.
can anybody with a corporate email account confirm if the fingerprint can be use in the same manner as in the iPhone? or it gets grayed out and you have to use a password instead?
Thanks.
I would like to know the same!

Can confirm this works! It was my biggest pain point on my Nexus 5. It works with Nine, Outlook Preview, Gmail Exchange, Samsung email, and a few others I'm forgetting about.

Yep, currently working with Nine and Samsung Email (I manage the MDM at my work and had to test these.)
Yes it works for me. It didn't work with S5 but it works now with s6 :good:.
Can confirm as well. Do not have to use a PIN anymore/can use fingerprint.
does this work with the default samsung email application that comes stock on the s6 ?
went to the store and tried myself, it does indeed let you use the fingerprint for Exchange email using the stock app.
Hola
OK, I am confused. How did you folks get the fingerprint method to work instead of typing a PIN in Nine email client.
I see no configuration in either Nine client or S6 security settings that allows me to switch from PIN to fingerprint.
I googled and didn't find much.
"So what you want me to do 'bout that?"
