Yahoo mail not working in email app now?¿

So I got my phone exchanged for a new one a few days ago, now when I try to add my yahoo account to the email app it keeps saying that some yahoo accounts aren't supported and immediately says wrong pass or user name. Any ideas? My yahoo account worked flawlessly on the first phone. Both were captivates.

Hmm. . I thought yahoo started a charged subscription service for use of pop3?

Yeah, that's been my experience. My yahoo mail worked only if I was using 3g and would fail while using wireless.
Try using k9 and see if that works for you. I eventually gave up and moved my yahoo account to gmail. I like gmail formatting better anyway

I gave up and just use yahoo in the browser. IMAP in the email android app with yahoo was very unreliable for me. Didn't check sometimes, hung up, etc.

Thanks for the replies, and what do you mean "moved my yahoo account to gmail" you mean there's a way to transfer anything that was set to the yahoo account over to gmail? basically rendering the yahoo account useless? Is that it?

What I did is create a new gmail account (because I don't want my yahoo mail mixed with my "real" email box). Then I went to Settings->Accounts and Import and told it to import my yahoo mail account. I waited 3 or 4 hours and bam, all my yahoo mail was in the new gmail account... it even created tags for each folder that was in yahoo... amazingly painless.
Because I wasn't sure it'd do what it did I was pretty piecemeal about it. I set gmail to pull emails from yahoo without deleting it first (read the yahoo asia change), then told it to start deleting it from the yahoo server. I'm still keeping the yahoo account around because I have literally years of accounts tied to it but I'll just be using gmail from now on.

This worked for me. I now have Yahoo working on WiFi on the built in mail application with 2.2.

I'm about to try this as well, hope it works... I think I've tried it before but must have been doing something wrong, can you confirm that this is just as reliable as k-9?

whoa....finally something that works! Running 2.2 beta with the stock mail app. I had tried the "mobile" instead of "android" on the servers but it never worked for me. Just tried sending myself an email and it worked on wifi.
Great job thanks for the settings. The only thing i did differently was instead of selecting "SSL" i selected "SSL accept all certificates"

Windows Live Hotmail on g2x?

How do I set up the email for Windows Live hotmail? I have a college email with it, and I can't figure out the pop3/smtp servers. Is it easier to use an app instead? Anyone tried one?
I tried pop3.live.com and smtp.live.com and they don't work.

Under accounts/sync, add a server you mean? Only options are corporate, facebook and google. I tried just adding under corporate anyway, and it can't connect to server.

If it's windows mail then it might be outlook. There's an option in your email where it shows you the settings you have to enter on your phone.

Use the email app not the gmail app, and just sign in
or you can use k-9 email app

Try this. i use this for my windows live email that my school has provided.
ie. choose only one from pop and imap. smtp you need that for outgoing emails.
your username could be your whole email address.
POP setting
Server name: pod51000.outlook.com
Port: 995
Encryption method: SSL
IMAP setting
Server name: pod51000.outlook.com
Port: 993
Encryption method: SSL
SMTP setting
Server name: pod51000.outlook.com
Port: 587
Encryption method: TLS

Fixed it, set it up as an exchange account and m.hotmail.com. I just had to change my username to my entire email address. It's working now. Thanks. Now if I could just figure out why my gps my location stopped working. That's another thread.

My mom and dad have yahoo mail accounts, which I set up in the default mail app for them, and now they have yahoo's app, and let me tell you, most all of the questions they ask me needing help revolve around yahoo not working right or something.
I can't say definitively, but yahoo seems to have a lot of problems... On THEIR end.
I dropped yahoo like a bad habit a long time ago.

I recommend setting up email forwarding form your Yahoo account to your Gmail account. Problem solved!

When you set it up manually do you use these settings:
Incoming Server Settings
Username: <yourusername>@yahoo.com
Password: Your Password
IMAP Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 993
Security Type: SSL (accept all certificates)
IMAP path prefix: blank
Outgoing Server Settings
SMTP Server: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 587
Security Type: None
Require Sign In: Checked
Username: <yourusername>@yahoo.com
Password: Your password

I might want to do this for my mom. That's done through the account to be forwarded (yahoo), the destination (gmail), or both?
I can find out on my own, but if you drop back in and want to give me an easy answer that's ok, too.

You have to set it up in yahoo, I don't remember if you set anything up in gmail, but you do have to click a link to confirm. If yahoo doesn't show the forwarding option, change the zone to yahoo asia. That's how mine is set so I can enable pop3.

Yahoo Mail working?

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

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.

No don't mess with the pop spam pull down, you just have to check the dot that's just to the left that enables pop in general because its not enabled by default..

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

again, we need more info or you should ask you admin / provider. you need to know if you are using ssl or not, you need to know your pop3/imap/smtp server address.
if you are able to access internet on your phone, then this is not related to T-mobile (if you don't have emails from them) or any network provider...

This are the settings used for configuring YAHOO mail manually....maybe these will help you see where you are going wrong:
For Yahoo.com
Incoming mail server (POP3): plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing mail server (SMTP): plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
For Yahoo.co.uk
Incoming Mail (POP3) Server: pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk (Use SSL, port: 995)
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk (Use SSL, port: 465, use authentication)
