New here and confused.
I set up my gmail account in Gmail app without any problem.
I then downloaded K-9 Mail (as recommended by my brother) and it says I entered the wrong gmail username or password every time I try to begin the process. (I tried a different email account and it worked fine!!??)
I also downloaded the Dolphin browser and it also told me that I had entered the wrong username or password.
I'm quite sure I've spelled both correctly.
Any suggestions?
thnx

I may be the only one interested in this but I finally figured out how to accesss my premium hotmail account from Outlook Mobile in WM6.1. I was hitting a wall when trying to setup a new account in Outlook. When I entered [email protected] on the first setup screen and hit next, I would get the screen with the link to Windows Live Hotmail. Here is how I got it to work.
When adding a new account I entered [email protected] in the email address box. This allowed me to get to the next available settings needed to configure the account. Once I configured and setup the account, I went back into the account settings and changed the email address to [email protected]. Works now!
I'm sure all of these talented people on this website already knew that but I couldnt find it anywhere.

Sorry for this.
Sorry to bump such an old thread, but google sent me this way.
Does this treat it as a pop e-mail though, or like an IMAP account?
This is great advice! I tried this approach and it worked beautifully. No additional programs required on my little device so I can check all my accounts together.
I know this sounds basic.....
I just setup an exchange mail server for an email account that I've had for a long time.
After running the exchange server config program on the device and everything is working, I'm left with an email account name of web host where I would rather it be my domain - which is how I had it setup pre-exchange.
I attempted to manually setup an account using the xchange settings, however it wouldn't work (read: not getting any email at all through exchange that way).
I went through the registry and can't find where the account names/associations are stored......
Any help? there's gotta be a name I can edit somewhere.
bump...same problem.
try this feature http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=75638&d=1205436420
Thanks for being so clear.
I've had GMAIL since day 1.. NEVER had any issues with my account.. used it on a normal basis. Since getting into my Dinc, I've had to go through 2 account verifications with Google to get back into my account.. both times changing my password. I see that "something" has been spamming email from my account.. at first I thought it was spoofing my email address as the sender, but now I am seeing the email in my sent folder...
Question, is there an app that can monitor when this kind of activity is going on with my phone like this? It's not my computer... I forward all my GMAIL to my main email account (not gmail) so I NEVER log into GMAIL on a computer.. the only thing that is actively logged in is my phone..
Ideas?
I've had the same problem, ended up restoring an old nandroid backup & reinstalling the things i''d lost.
seems t have fixed the issue but my gmail defiantly got hacked; everyone with a hotmail account got sent spam
Just because your email account was hacked does not 100% indicate a malicious program on your phone or computer.
For example: You could have signed up for a website or forum using the same password as your email account. If that forum DB gets compromised, then your password could have been decrypted from the sql database...
It's possible some app has sent an email if:
You've entered your Google password to that app.
You've authorized that app for Google account using WWW (OAuth) or Android OS, but you didn't notice it requests permissions for sending emails.
You gave root permissions to that app and you have Google account set up in Android OS.
I think there is no other way to get access to your account.
Hi, all. Noob here. Title says it all. My google account has synched but for some reason, I can't add my gmail account to the Sense mail app. I added my hotmail account to it and it worked fine, but every time I try to add my gmail account, it gives me an authentication error and failure to login. The funny thing is that the gmail app works fine. But for some reason, the Sense mail app won't add my gmail account. Would be nice to access all my emails through one mail app.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thx.
Noob.
To get Gmail in the Sense Email app, you have to setup your @gmail.com account as an Exchange ActiveSync account. The server address is m.google.com . Everything will sync up just fine, including mail, contacts, and calendar. You can use push mail too if you'd like, or set an update schedule.
I setup my gmail account in Mail under the other option and it works perfect

It doesn't have to be a exchange account, I have it set up without that. You should go into your gmail settings on the computer and make sure the pop and/or IMAP is on.
Thanks for the suggestions. Tried all of it, but still not working. Weird. Not too bummed about it though...the gmail app is pretty good.
Are you 100% putting the right password in?
Do you use and special characters that you might not be typing correctly in the phone. If you do maybe change it to a easy password temporarily just to test.
It should be easy to setup, took me like 10 seconds

My Yahoo mail stoped working for no reason, it keeps saying that my account info form my smtp is incorrect?? WT? No it's not it is correct.
Are you using a pre-configured Yahoo account type on the phone, or using a manually-configured Yahoo POP access account (requires a paid account)? I'm having no problem with Yahoo on my phone (paid account, but I'm using the pre-configured account type on the phone and the paid access for Outlook on the PC).
If it doesn't come back in a day or three, delete the account and try re-creating it.

It's a manually configured POP 3 Yahoo account that was working fine, I did no updates or configuration changes; I noticed that it bombs out when I try to send an attachment, it keeps saying my smtp account informaiton is wrong.
I forgot to mention that this has happend 3 times before and each time I've deleted and recreated my Yahoo account but this time it has not worked. This is really starting to get on my nerves; why does Windows Phone do this? My account settings are correct, ive even double checked they are the same as my Outlook on my computer; what gives?

Okay I narrowed it down to that if I don't attach a picture to it it works fine; WT So now I can't send pictures via email because I gett that stupid error. Help.
Try using the automatic Yahoo account type (which will use IMAP, and possibly a different SMTP server). I don't know why attaching an image is messing up the server you're using, but there seems to be some kind of problem.
I am having the same issue and I am just trying to send a regular plain text email. Then I went to yahoo and for some reason I had to reinstate my account. When another friend of my reported the same problem. We figured it was a yahoo, issue.
