That's the page I'm in. Message in inbox can be highlighted but it will not open for me...
EDIT: meant to add this works fine for IE just not in Opera.

same problem here. I get logged on but can't click on the inbox. Does someone know the solution for Opera? (except IE).

i have the same annoying problem!
but then again, will stick back to IE for hotmails..

same here. I can't even log on or register my details through the touch flo tab. is there an apple rights type thing going on here?

Have you guys tried to open in another tab??
Grtz,
Degake

ive tried setting hotmail up throught tf3d and it allows the username and password, then it says settings found, please click next to continue, but as i do, it take me to mobile.live.com rather than the next step??
anyone know whats going wrong?

I had the same problem, so I did a back up, and a hard reset, to wipe everything, and when I came to set up my email hotmail account, it works just fine now.. I get the messages as they arrive..

so after the reset you were able to continue the registration and settings without it directing you to windows live page?
unless you enter an alternative email provider it won't let me enter settings manually

Yes. First I had the emails downloading to my phone, and showing in the inbox.. Then for some reason, I messed it up and tried to re set up an account, and every time I was being directed online to Windows live page..
I did a hard reset, not a soft reset.. It tells you how to do it on the HTC support page. That wipes everything off the phone, so make sure you back up any information or programs you want.
After I reset the phone , I tried my hotmail account again, and it works fine..

ok thanks very much. been reluctant to do the hard reset as its taken forever to customize and tweak to my liking. and that's just the shortcut menus.
here goes...

Hope it works for you like it did me..
and I kinda enjoyed tweaking mine and getting it set up again.
Good luck. let me know how it goes.

ive only just done a hard reset because i could install Framework 3.5, it there any other way to setup hotmail again, registry edit maybe?
also how do you get them delivered straight to your phone, a friend of mine who also has a HD says you have to manually sync.

did you guys know that you can set up hotmail into your mail tab now yeah?
to set it up, go to the mail tab > Menu > Accounts > New Account
when asked to enter your email address, enter your hotmail address, but with an error after the "@" sign. for example, if my email addy was "[email protected]", i would enter it as "[email protected]" (notice there is no "l" in "hotmail.com"). Enter your hotmail log-in password here as well.
Insert your name as you would like to appear on outgoing messages, and an account display name to show for your own navigation (mines is simply called "Hotmail", since i only use one hotmail account).
For the incoming mail server: pop3.live.com
Account type POP3
your username will be your hotmail email address (the correct version this time), and your normal password, as you would enter on the hotmail login page.
For outgoing mail: smtp.live.com
tweak other/advanced settings to your liking (and data plan - orange UK data plans suck).
Once you've set your account up, click on Start (top left corner) > Messaging > [your hotmail account] > Edit Account Setup. Now correct your emaill address that you originally inserted incorrectly, and continue pressing next till you get to the end.
Now your hotmail should be working fine.. no need to use opera at all

hi. I followed this advice from another thread which I can't find now.
but after I do all that and I go to Menu > Send Receive, there is an error in syncing and have to check my connection settings.
where am I going wrong?
in the process of backing up atm..

if your trying to do send/receive through TF3d, you can try doing send/receive through windows itself (i.e. go to start > messaging > hotmail > menu > send/receive)
see if that works. if it works fine, then automatic updates should work fine as well. I also get an error sometimes while trying to update via TF3D (only on hotmail), but it works fine if i do an update through windows.

phew! thanks for all suggestions so far. managed to set up using wifi. works perfectly.
problem is.. it only works with wifi.
when I attempt to send/receive through my t mobile connection it says I have to check my service provider etc. which I'll probably do tomoz

sending email issue

Hi guys,
Im having a frustrating time trying to get my outlook to send email. I can receive just fine.
Just a note, my computer sends/receives fine and i use the same settings on computer and phone. I never user activsync because ive never been able to get the linux version to work for me.
My server requires authentication however i get this error when i try to send: "The message(s) could not be sent. Check that you have network coverage
and that your account information is correct. Then try sending again."
If i uncheck the option for authentication, the email bounces as it should saying relay is not allowed.
Im using the same settings as my computer, but I just dont see whats wrong. Im a linux user and built my webserver so i feel like i should be able to figure this out which leads me to thing outlook sucks lol
Any suggestions to try?
James
In 'Edit Server Settings' where it has your User name, Password, and Domain how do you have that set up? when i first did mine i set it up with all three, but it didn't work, and what worked for me was setting the username to be [email protected] leaving the Domain field blank -- so that is something to look into, and if it is different maybe try setting it up the other way just putting your email as the username and the domain in the domain field.
How do i find 'Edit Server Settings'?
In my inbox, i click the Menu button bottom right, click tools and options. then i click on the email account i created, which sends me through all the email settings in the following order.
Note: i never used Outlook email as it never let me specify pop or imap so i added New Account.
Email address -- [email protected]
Your name - james
Account display name -- greyed out
incoming server name lwp.ca
account type -- greyed out (its set to imap)
username -- [email protected]
password
outgoing smtp server: lwp.ca
requires authentication checked
use same user name and password for sending mails checked
Automatic send/receive -- set to manual
download messages set to from the past 30 days
message format : html
message download limit: headers only
download attachments: do not download
I am having the same problem with Alltel PPC6800 and I found out (by tethering with my PC) that some of their IP addresses are listed with Spamhaus.
If I keep trying it will eventually go through when the IP Address switches to one not listed.
Hope it helps?

sorry when you said you use outlook to send i assumed you were using an exchange server -- since you are using IMAP what i said is irrelevant.
When you are at the point where it asks for the outgoing SMTP server, there is a link to 'Advanced Server Settings' at the bottom of the screen. clicking on that will allow you to require SSL for incoming and outgoing -- that would be my only other guess.
but i do find it strange that your incoming and outgoing mail servers are the same and not IMAP.lwp.com and SMTP.lwp.com or something similar.

Gmail settings on HD

This is my 4 th HTC, always used a gmail account.
Used the same setting as my diamond on the HD, but still asking for a username when trying to connect.
problem in orginal rom, flashed dutty's, still my gmail account wont work.
What am i missing here
I have a gmail account and the HD set this up automatically.
Looking at the account settings I have:
Incoming server: imap.gmail.com
Account type: IMAP4
Outgoing server: smtp.gmail.com
Any use to you?
Yep have the same, very strange. Wont work, keep asking for a another username/ww

Sorry, can't help any more - try deleting the account and setting it up again (Sorry!)
k, thx for your help.
still searching, did a hard reset, made a new account, still no go.
My gmail account works normally. I have the spanish original rom.
I'll try to write all my settings. Maybe the name of the fields are different in english, but I think will be easy to understand.
- email: [email protected]
- Name: Any. Account name: any.
- Incoming server: pop.gmail.com Account type: imap4 (yes, the server is pop, and the account type is imap. Don't ask me, the HD configured these settings automatically).
- User name: [email protected] Pass: yours
- outgoing server: smtp.gmail.com. CHECK "outgoing server requires authentication" and "same username and password for sent".
- Advanced server configuration: UNCHECK SSL connection in both incoming and outgoing mail. Select appropiate connection.
- The remaining configuration don't matter.
Hope it helps.
Regards.
Nacho.
tried >> chanced incoming to pop, and unchecked the ssl. That where the only 2 thing different to my old setting. Stil asking for a different username/ww
No! Gmail requires SSL. Follow the instructions here

It will ask for your password also if you mistyped anything in the settings, check that.

The HD with the same as above in link gmail wont work.
cant be the gmailaccount settings, they are right, must be something else.
btw im happy with the fast responce you are all giving thx
Wierd,
My HD just asked for username and set everything up automatically for me.
I think that was on the original ROM and I have used SPB Backup to restore everything after flashing to Dutty's ROMS.

Gmail issue
Also on my touch hd ( i change rom very frequently and so i set my gmail account different times)
i use EVERYTIME the same auto-settings, some times it makes the synch of the emails and sometimes it "seems" to work but nothing happens
the only way to solve the issue i found is to re-set the account, or to change rom

Gmail Password Weirdness
I have all the settings put in correctly.. what is happening is that Im inputting my gmail password in the account settings, then continuing saving everything, click on "send/recieve" and get the "cannot connect" error.
I go back and check my settings and my password has changed! I know this because my password length is ******* but when I go back to check the settings its always *********************
For some reason its just NOT saving the password as it should and its driving me bonkers!
Could someone please enlighten me as to what to do?

Back door email setup:

just wondering if there is a way to backdoor setup an email account. as some of you may know, the G1 has some kind of pop up that comes up when trying to setup emails.
something like SPAMHAUS or something. anyone ever get this?
anyway to backdoor or turn off the filter for that, or something?
Manual email setup (was: back door email setup)
To bypass the account setup wizard in android mail, and configure the account manually, you can use the 'Manual Setup' button.
To get there click 'Next' when you are prompted 'Welcome to email setup .... email accounts in two steps'.
On the next screen, the 'Manual setup' button appears at the bottom left of the screen. The 'Manual setup' button is disabled until you enter an email address and password.
I always use the manual way anyway. That's not what I'm asking for. Because the wizard still does silly things for certain accounts. So I was trying to see if there is a way to bypass all of that and do it thru root.
Is anyone else here having trouble setting up there yahoo account on the new jf 1.5 adp? It keeps coming up as wrong user and account. I don't have yahoo plus, but this worked just fine on jf rc33. If anyone knows what the put in the manual set up that would be cool if its even possible.
I remember reading some sort of disclaimer when you first set up the yahoo account on RC33 that you can only access your yahoo free account if you are a Tmobile customer... maybe since the 1.5 is currently ADP, it won't let you into the free yahoo account unless you have the tmobile version. Just a thought.

Mine used to act this way when I had the standard T-Mobile RC33 OTA. Ever since rooting, I've been able to access my Yahoo email just fine, even though i DON'T have Yahoo Plus.
what does this mean? it only happens after i hit continue for the Outgoing mail server:
SETUP COULD NOT FINISH

Cannot Connect to yahoo Mail on G1 using Hero. And No sound from speaker.

I have
G1
FW 1.5
MLIGN-HeroV3.0
I can't log into yahoo mail.
does it have something to do with a port? it's on port. 995.
And when I play music, it plays from the speaker that you hear from.
Not the one in the back.
Do you have Yahoo's paid service or just using the free version of yahoo mail? If you don't pay for the extra upgrade you can't get yahoo emails on your phone.

Go to your Email icon > Press Menu > Add Account
Type in your full yahoo email address including @yahoo.com
Type in your password
Go to manual setup > Press IMAP account and change to these settings....
Incoming server settings
Imap server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
port - 143
security type - TLS (if available)
Press Next, It will check your incoming server settings, then it takes you to the Outgoing Server Settings
Outgoing Server Settings
SMTP Server- smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
port - 25
security type - TLS (if available)
* check Require sign-in
Press Next, Verifying Out Going Settings, Press Next at Account options unless you need to change a setting.
Give your account a name (optional ) - i called my Yahoo Mail and click Done
Hope this works out for those that could not get this done.

Midnight scarab, The reason why you are getting this message is if you chose TLS (Always). I tested it with that setting and got the same message "TLS required but not supported by server". Try it again hope that helps.

Psychoace, the only thing I know of that would cause the invalid username or password is having the wifi connection turned on. The initial setup needs to be done over a 3G connection. If that does not work let me know and I will try to help you out some more..
Thanks a TON! As always I searched all over but should have came to XDA in the first place

HD2 WP7 Activesync

This may be old news but - if you're hesitant about activating your HD2 but still want to sync with windows live - you can use the hotmail-activesync server settings (m.hotmail.com) to access and sync your email(+push), contact and calendar.
Mate thats spot on. Just done that on my phone and it worked straightaway!
Many thanks for the suggestions, greatly appreciated
No problem. If you can live without the market place then this gives you the rest of the live services.
I'll activate once i know what MS decide to do, if anything.....
hmmm so how do i do this? will this sync word docos etc

KrewsialNL: Thanks for adding the link.
rainsey: No not word docs just your calendars, contacts and email (incl push). For documents you could just email them to your hotmail account on your pc? not quite syncing but it will get the file on your handset without too much fuss.
I have a sharepoint 2010 account except the server uses basic authentication and i can't use the url to list the docs i use. I can assess them via webpage list for my docs but this is annoying it would of been nice to have the list maintained on WP7 or have sync like wm6.x.
Hotmail and skydrive is not the sync that i want to use or trust
I went to "Advanced Setup" under "Add an Account" and tried the following settings:
email: [email protected]
server address: m.hotmail.com
SSL enabled
username: [email protected]
password: password
Domain: <blank>
It won't let me click sign in with a blank domain so I assume that you just put a couple of random letters in there.
Then it keeps saying that the account information is incorrect, I've checked it 3 timees to make sure. Any ideas?
Nearly.... when you first set the account up put a couple of random characters in the domain field so you can complete the set up (the button to finish is not available until something is entered for the domain).
Once you've completed the set-up try syncing. It will fail and say theres an error with the account settings. but.... you're then offered a chance to change your username and password or modify the the advance settings.
Now if you go into the advanced settings you can delete the entry for the domain so it is completely blank - except this this time the option to complete the settings can be selected.
That should work
