Yahoo Mail

I have this problem with yahoo mail while connectoed to my computer it works fine but when I connect by Meia Net it keeps asking me to verify my user name and password. Its and intermittent problem as sometimes it does work. Has anyone had this problem and if so how do I fixz it. Thanks.

This happens to me occasionally, I had never used activesync to try to resolve it so I am unsure. I had problems with POP so I changed to their IMAP mobile and haven't had an issue since. I always thought it was a conflict with too many concurrent logins occurring.

i use imap for better mail management. i get this issue with both my gmail and yahoo mail accounts on my phone. i just hit next when i get them and it doesnt happen for days at a time. i unno how to fix this but im interested in someone figuring it out.

Market Gmail contact sync issues

I installed the gmail update that was in the market. Since I installed it, my contacts have not synced with gmail. I noticed my phone was not sleeping and started looking and I found that the google contacts were not syncing but would try and after a few minutes it would get this error message:
Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly
This has been happening for 7 days and after the sync fails it trys again and prevents the phone from sleeping. I have tried removing this update and I have been unable to. The only solution I know is to wipe the data and flash the rom again. Is anybody else having this issue?

I am on a stock ROM and i still get stupid issues revolving around Gmail. The giant POS keeps my phone trying to sync all day, so I use ATK to simply kill Gmail, then go into running applications and stop the sync.
It is VERY annoying.

I did some more testing and here is the strange thing. The mail and calendar sync with no problems. It is just the contact sync that causes this error. I made a change to a contact while logged into gmail on my pc. I enabled the contact sync and after a little while it gave me that error. However it did sync the contact and change I made on the pc was reflected in the contact now on my Evo. So I did it the other way and changed a contact on the Evo and synced again. After getting the error message I checked the contact on my pc and the change was there. So the contacts are syncing but something is not telling the evo that the sync was completed properly. Anybody have any ideas what is causing all of this? I have to leave it disabled for the contacts if I want my phone to sleep.

Though I have encountered the same problem as described but I would like to eliminate the connection issue first. My interest is to sync contact from gmail to phone (a Samsung Galaxy S with Android 2.1). Normally I will not use 3g (GPRS is too expensive in this part of the world) but connecting thru wifi. I am very sure the connection is thru as I am able to access my gmail account thru the phone browser. I then get to phone menu and start syncing (setting, sync) but got the "sync is currently experiencing........" error message. My question is whether there is any restriction that sync must go thru 3g (GPRS) connection or not.

I have tried it connected via wifi, 3G, and 4G. For me it didn't matter what connection I was using I still get that sync error when syncing the contacts.

Well I thought everything was fine until today. I noticed my awake time was once again the same as the up time. I got to looking and not it appears as if the google calendar is hanging on the sync. It does not give an error like the contacts does but the sync icon never goes away. I unchecked it from the sync and the phone is sleeping again. I don't know what is going on. Time to factory reset and flash the rom again.

Same issue. I've flashed several different roms in the last few days. Any rom that has the updated Gmail app is causing my contacts to "loop" in the sync and eventually give me the "currently experiencing" error message with lovely "!" (thanks, needed that). Older versions work fine.
Here's the wierd part...
I added a contact online and it still synced perfectly to the phone.
I added a contact to the phone and it showed up online.
THUS - I believe this is a phantom error message.
Hope that helps. I'm annoyed myself. I wanna update but keep running my old backup since sync isnt an issue with the older gmail.

Slightly off topic, but task killers are completely worthless, especially on Froyo.

I believe the error message is invalid as well. But it keeps the phone from sleeping because it keeps trying to sync. The only fix is to enable it, sync, then disable the contacts from syncing. Has anybody been able to find out any information as to what is going on with it? I was wondering if it is something that we can report as a bug to either htc or google.

[Q] Email Setup

I'm trying to set up my email on my new Transformer. It's a Google Apps email and it is set up correctly on my Droid X right now, but I keep getting the error
"Setup could not finish
Cannot connect to server.
(Expected string, none found.)"
I've triple checked the details and my Transformer is set up on Wifi just fine.
Any ideas?

Same thing has happened to me this morning gmail still works but the asus mail program won't connect.

there appears to be a problem at google. this started happening to me last night, and IMAP services are still down. the regular gmail app (POP3) still works.

IMAP is working great on my phone (2gmail accounts)- using K9--- and on my outlook on PC( same 2 accounts).
NOT working on the Transformer- using stock email
Are there any fixes to this or an ETA when going to be fixed at Google.

I had this problem with Asus mail this morning (I connect to my Gmail account using Exchange settings though).. I rebooted the tablet and it seems to be behaving itself now (not sure if this helps anyone or not?)

tried reboot- did not work- still getting connection error for GMAIL accounts ONLY.
The AOL accounts work fine.

how do you search in the regular email app? The option exists in the gmail app but i don't see it in the regular app. Pretty lame.

Exchange services keeps crashing.

I get the error "unfortunately exchange services has stopped working" every so often on my Nexus 5. I am rooted but on stock. I also disabled the email app. I cleared data on the email app as well. Anyone else running into this issue?

I had the same issue. Go into settings > applications > all applications.. and disable Exchange Services as well. It has the same icon as the email app. That fixed it for me.

That is really not a fix. Its a workaround. Mine is doing that as well... not sure why... i disabled mine since i not connected to any exchange servers but to those who are... this really doesn't fix anything for them

I have this issue constantly, I have my hotmail email address set up and it uses this. If I disable exchange services I can no longer receive emails but with it on I get crashes sometimes every 2 seconds. It will crash again faster than I can send the error report.

Do we have solution for this yet?
Android update to 4.4.2 also didn't help solving this issue. One thing to note is, this is happening only if the Email exchange services are of 6.1 version, i have checked on another Nexus 4 having 4.4 which has 6.0 (exchange service).
There is no problem with 6.1.

Looks like a calendar problem
I have the same problem with 6.1 exchange services. But so far the contacts are sync with the hotmail account, it's only the calendar that throws the error box.
Its quiet annoying that you use the best devices in the market and one small service application can make it look all bad.

4.4.3 still no fix
I had called Google toll free and had registered a ticket for this problem. I was told that the 4.4.3 update will fix the problem of exchange 6.1.
Got the update today.. Nothing has changed.. guys only thing is to now change the device.

Gmail stuck on "Syncing mail..."

Hi everyone,
I've had a Pixel 2 (128 GB), since November. Had no issues until 2-3 days ago, I noticed that under the notifications it says "Syncing mail..." and just stays there forever. I've got 3 different mail accounts (Gmail, Hotmail, work), I've turned off syncing to all 3 accounts but the notification remains. I'm unable to force stop, and the only way to make it go away is to turn on airplane mode and reboot the phone. But the moment I turn data back on the message comes back.
Anyone got any clues as to what's going on?
Thanks.

Had this issue, too. Removed my Outlook Mail Account and added it again... Solved the problem for me.

Clear data and configure again

Same issue happening for me as well......Cleared data and cache, didn't fix it, removed account and put it back, still didn't fix it. Seems to have started after the most recent Gmail app update.

gmail has been very buggy with this phone. Emails come late or don't sync until multiple attempts.

I have the exact same issue on a Nexus 6P. It happened during the Oreo beta, then went away after public release. Came back this week. I have done all of the steps above - still a constant notification. Super annoying.

Same thing here on OnePlus 3 Oreo
It just started happening last week on my OnePlus 3 with Android Oreo and it annoyed me enough to Google the problem and I landed here. I haven't tried anything yet and not going to (too much work to resync multiple accounts) - this seems like a bad app update. Going to wait it out until the next one.

Same issue, some more info
I have the same issue, it seems to be related to work accounts going through Exchange. If you remove your work account the notification goes away. But if I add it again I still have the same problem. It is also only an issue on Oreo, I have seen that OnePlus users are now having the same problem after updating their devices. For now I have configured my work Exchange email to use IMAP, this gets rid of the syncing message but email is no longer pushed, it gets synced every 15mins
Alternatively you can un-install updates from Gmail and turn off auto update on the Gmail app and then add your Exchange account, this seems to get rid of the constant mail syncing message.

Got the same issue on my HTC 10 after upgrading to Oreo, tried removing and re-adding the exchange account and clearing cache and data but nothing gets rid of it.

I am getting this on my OG Pixel. Probably not something Pixel/Pixel2 related, sounds a lot more like Oreo/Gmail APP related (not specifically gmail itself, just the app).
If I had to pose a guess, this is likely Exchange sync, where some function of exchange sync in gmail is causing the app to prompt this constantly. I won't venture a guess what, though I have a theory. In either way, it's annoying and seemingly benign. as in, it causes no problems either with sync or with the phone, but if you're like me and like to have a neat and tidy notification bar, it will drive you utterly mad.

This comes and goes for me, it's not consistent. Usually toggling WiFi on and off makes it go away after connecting and reconnecting to a network. I have an Exchange account added.

I found out that my issue was that I my outlook already syncs with my Gmail, so i didn't actual have to add my outlook account. It was "gmailified" already.

Solved this issue on my Samsung M30s
I tried all the methods shared by other users, however finally I logged out and login again my email account, then restarted the device to resolve this constant syncing email issue.
I hope it would be helpful to others as well.
