Stock email application & yahoo mail - error signing in when sending emails - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got this error a lot of times, when i try sending emails from yahoo, when i use the stock app. receiving emails works fine, i see emails...but if i try to reply, the email remains in outbox and "error signing in" keeps appearing in notification bar. the password is correct, i tried also not requesting password when sending, but the error appears.
any solution?
except other email apps (i use also yahoo app, but i don't like it, and i don't want to sync non stop) and advices to uses to gmail. i have both for different reasons.
i tried also searching for different imap settings, but i could not find a proper one.
thank you.

Are you talking the email app or the gmail app?

Email app. Which can be customized to see any email account. I set it for yahoo.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app

I had this as well. Ridiculously annoying. You have to manually change some of the settings. Follow the instructions in this link: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mobile/set-yahoo-mail-android-mail-sln3696.html?impressions=true. I haven't had any issues since following those directions. Hope this helps.

thank you. it works. i will test it for a while to see if its okay, because the last time i tried some settings it worked for a time and than stopped again.

Q: Unread email notification stuck in TF3D

I have a Sprint Touch Pro and the new email notification is stuck in TF3D. It was working fine for a few days, but now it always says I have 1 unread email. I am not syncing email with activesync, just using IMAP gmail. I removed my gmail account and did a soft reset... it still shows 1 unread email. It's driving me nuts! If I actually have 1 unread email in gmail, it shows I have 2. If i have 0 unread emails, it shows I have 1. Where the heck is this setting stored? Something is obviously stuck but I can't find it. Thanks in advance.
I seem to be having this problem myself, but with the voicemail notification.
Keeps sayins I have 1 new voicemail, but when i check it, i don't have anything there.
bump. I'm sure others will experience this. 2 friends at work have the same thing happening to them as well. Anyone have any ideas?
Try clicking on All Messages... in the mobile outlook window check all your accounts (sent, inbox, drafts, etc.) and make sure there is no unread mails. I had this happen to me after I setup a new account. There is a new default mail that is created when you create a new account that I had missed.

Having the same problem with "1 New Voicemail" in TF3D and the little icon in status bar I select dismiss voicemail notification but it stays there.
: Edit Myculito are you using Phone Alarm by any chance?
I just "tap and held" on the notification on PhoneAlarm and said "Reset Count" and it seems to be gone now,
Jules
Just wanted to post my fix.
I do not have the issue with voicemail, only the new email notifications.
The steps that alexk1f described worked like a charm... just forgot to update my thread that it was solved. Thanks alexk1f!

Jules, I'm not using PhoneAlarm.
I fixed the stuck Voicemail issue. I made a call, and left 2 new voicemails to make sure that there were at least messages there.
I then checked my voicemail from the phone, and all is good now.
There is a cab to fix this. Search through the English ROMeOS thread in the ROM development forum
So the fix was for vmail but not messaging. What it looks like is that TF3D has old text messages wedged in cached somewhere - I had two text messages that kept showing up despite deletes. They finally stopped getting delivered and the inbox is clean but the image and notification persists.
Try SKTools and clear the notification queue.
I have this issue too on my Touch HD
I have cleared duplicate notifications in the queue, but I am unsure what else to clear, and the 1 mail notification is still there.
Any other ideas?
OK fixed, it seems as though that damn ghost email had been created in two places, not just in my email inbox, but also in the activesync one, which I hadn't even set-up.
Probably worth going through every single folder in messaging even if you think you know better

Try this when you go to email tab select inbox and see if you have any email in one of your inboxs I had the same problem and when i went to inbox i found an email that wasnt being accessed from the tab.
Hope it works for you
Try this
fixunreadcount:

seems if you go accounts> then hit the account that its reporting on it will clear it. Works for me anyway. RSS hub does this also... well Dont try to read while downloading i think it happens when i retreive attachments.

[Q] email problems - email vanishes...

Ok, I have a number of email related problems...
I'm using POP to sync with my business email, hosted on a managed server.
I can access email no problem, and send.
But, I have the phone set-up to check for mail every 30 mins or so, and it does this ok, and reports 'X' new messages, but when I go to the mail app it shows 'no mail', and I have to refresh to actually see the mail. Very, very annoying, and I guess is costing me more as the phone is data downloading twice! A real issue as I'm 'roaming' a lot...
With mail receiving that's about all the problems. but I'd love a fix if it's something I'm doing wrong.
But, with sent mail the phone seems to decide to delete all sent mail, no matter what setting I have set for mail.
I have no idea why this happens, and more importantly how to stop it.
All previous phones (this is my first Android one) kept all sent mail until I deleted it.
Any ideas regarding these problems?
Clear your mail data from setting and do a fresh mail set up afterwards. Good luck
Ok, trying now...
Is this a known problem???

Email setup

Cant get my email to setup using the stock email app. I go into the setup function and put [email protected] and my password and I always get an error. My email account is a ran by yahoo but I still cant get it set up.
I had this problem with my wavecable.com e-mail. I used K-9 mail with Froyo and it worked great. Since moving to GB, I can only receive with that account, trying to enter the correct settings for sending causes a FC. I also tried maildroid but did not like it enough to even remember if it could send. If I have to send mail from my wave account, I can use the browser to access their mail page, but I usually just send from my gmail account.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using the power of the dark side
You will have to manually set that email account up and not let the phone do it automatically.
Maybe this link will help.

Stock email app only works on wifi

I'm having an issue with the stock email app where I can only seem to get my emails while on wifi. Anytime I leave my house or work where I am connected to wifi, I get a message that says "Can't Sign In". If it makes any difference, I am using my Yahoo email account. I know one solution is to use the official Yahoo app, but I want to do what I can to stick with the stock email app
I saw a tip somewhere on XDA that said to change the Incoming and Outgoing server settings and this worked for a bit but the settings seem to change itself. The tip was to delete the word android from both server names, changing the Incoming server from "android.imap.mail.yahoo.com" to "imap.mail.yahoo.com" and changing the Outgoing server from "android.smtp.mail.yahoo.com" to "smtp.mail.yahoo.com"
Anyone?
In the meantime I started using the official Yahoo Mail app, but I'd like to use the stock email app if anyone could help me? Thanks
It could help you: http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=content&y=PROD_MAIL_ML&locale=en_US&id=SLN4075
EDIT
I've just tried with a Yahoo address email and the stock Email app. Everything is automatically configured. I can show you my settings if needed.
Make sure you didn't prevent background data for the app

[Q] Stock email client doesn't sync with gmail

My stock email client on my Nexus 5 was working perfectly fine with my gmail. I had a break in at my house and my tablet was stolen. I changed all my passwords to prevent any illicit activities. Since I have changed the password, the stock email client has stopped working with gmail. Every time I try to set it up, I get "couldn't finish - Username or password is incorrect" message. I have tried the "edit details" or manual setup options. Checked username and password, select imap as the server, SSL/TLS security type, and port 993. I get the same message when I hit next. I am using the stock ROM that was rooted. The root is lost too, but I will work on that later.
I have cleared the data and cache for the client multiple times but that didn't help either.
I have the gmail app on the phone as well and that works fine but it doesn't give any notifications. I would be OK if the gmail app gave me notifications whenever I got new emails so I wouldn't have to use the stock email client, but I prefer the stock email since that was setup as the default email app.
I have also tried K9 but that doesn't show anything when I launch the app.
Ideally I like to use the stock app but I will be OK with the gmail app becoming the default app. Any thing that I can implement to fix this?
