Hotmail
Slide to the e-mail icon on the homescreen/menu/add account/other - add your hotmail details. This worked for me.

The Incoming mail server is pop3.live.com
The Outgoing mail server is smtp.live.com
Use your email address and password for access and set up your email as any other.
Mail > Add Account > Other
Then fill in the details carefully. You are then all done.

For hotmail I just put my email and email password and it found all the details for me. It might slow down when it syncs your emails.

i have followed this and it seems to work, but for some reason it constantly pops up and asks for my email and password

IMAP yahoo.com Yes! and No!

Ok, From my understanding yahoo mail does not have IMAP. My mogul does have IMAP and receiving folders from yahoo mail. How do I get my outlook at home to mimic my titan????
Upgrade to Yahoo Mail Plus
Is your mogul still "sending" and receiving email??? I can still receive email, but can no longer send.
Yahoo send problem
Around noon yesterday I suddenly lost the ability to send messages from my yahoo account as well. Mail still comes in, I can send from other mail accounts, just not yahoo.
I gave it a day, deleted yahoo, and recreated the account using the 'auto setup' from sprint. That didn't fix the problem, so I'm on hold with sprint support right now. Talked to 2 people who were of no help - didn't even pass the problem on, just tranferred me, waiting for the good tech support now (25 minutes so far, glad I used the work phone and not my mogul!).
yea just had the same issue, VZW had no idea. Yahoo screwing things up?
Sprint support
36 minutes on the phone, 3 different "technicians", and the last one (the only one who had a clue) had me set my outgoing mail to smtp.sprintpcs.com instead of yahoo's.
It works, but is a definite work-around.

Alltel said to do the same thing. The only problem is that it does not show who it came from properly. By using their outgoing server, what do others see when receiving it? If it was just a personal account I would not mind, but this is my business account.
I got mine to work by entering the pop3 settings, but now all my personalized folders are gone.
any idea of what will work on verizon?

I am on Verizon and I have a Yahoo Plus account. I used the auto setup for yahoo.com and got IMAP for incoming, but it had issues with another setting. The Plus instructions on their pages only tell you about the POP3 Incoming service. This was not what I wanted because the IMAP4 service will allow you to sync more folders than just the inbox. After a couple of experiments, I found that by starting from scratch and setting up the account configuration manually, I could use IMAP for the incoming. All is good now!
Here are the settings I am using for IMAP4 for incoming and smtp for outgoing.
Incoming mail server:
imap.mail.yahoo.com
Account type:
IMAP4
Outgoing (SMTP) mail server:
plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
From the Outgoing configuration page-
Advanced Server Settings
SSL NOT Required for Incoming e-mail ****IMPORTANT****
SSL IS Required for Outgoing e-mail
Good luck

Yes It Works With Verizon - Free Yahoo
Hi Everyone,
New here, but loving it. The Messaging Application will work "sometimes" with the free yahoo accounts, because Yahoo blocks access to their SMTP server unless you have a Yahoo Plus! account.
HOWEVER - Verizon and Yahoo have a partnership.
Just adjust your settings to use Verizon's outgoing email server.
Incoming Mail Server:imap.mail.yahoo.com
Account type is IMAP4
Outgoing Mail Server:smtp.vzwmail.net
[x] Outgoing server requires authentication
[ ] Use the same user name and password for sending email
Outgoing Server Login:
Username: (yourphonenumber)@vzwmail.net
Password: The password you set up for www.vtext.com
This isn't really a workaround... it's the solution. You're still using your yahoo account, but Verizon's outgoing mail servers are doing the sending instead of yahoo's so that you can do it for "free" by paying Verizon instead of yahoo. Hope this helps!
What a valuable first post, mogulecule! Thanks. I happen to have VZW and two Yahoo accounts: One is Plus ($20 a year), the other free. I'll try this and report back if they behave differently.

Hi guys.
New to the forum.
Im having a problem with my xperia and free yahoo account. Mine is setup to IMAP4. But when i try to download e-mails from my account i get a prompt to enter my password. I enter it and the prompt comes back up again saying incorrect when its isnt.
Will it not let me in as im trying to use yahoo SMTP with a free account as you state. If i upgrade my account will it work.
I setup a test gmail account and that is POP3 and everthing works fine.
Any ideas.
I use System Seven and the only problem I've had is, it did not work with m2d, kept restarting m2d. But love it, works great.

Hotmail help.

I already search the forum but I can't find a answer. When I setup my hotmail account it redirects me to the mobile site of hotmail using opera.
Before I flashed my HD I received my mail in touchflo the way I want it.
I already asked the rom cook but he is taking a break.
So anyone know how to fix this? I want my mail in touchflo and not using the browser.
Just open Messenger.
Fill in your username and password.
When asked, select the "sync e-mail".
This wil create all the needed settings, so your e-mail account is configured within touchflo
grtz,
Degake
You are the best, worked like a charm
thank you.

I would like to have that too but I already assigned myself to msn and so I dont get that option anymore.
And I cant find it in the options menu of msn messenger
any one got an idea?
I also have a problem with hotmail. after entering my details in the touch flo tab,a new msn window appears briefly then just goes back to a No Account tab. Any ideas pls?
Hotmail and others
If I've understood you correctly do this...
When you enter your email address enter a fake one for eg. [email protected] to avoid the auto-setup. On next screen untick the "try to get email settings automatically from the internet". On next screen choose "internet email" and carry on adding the POP3 settings for your email provider. That worked for Hotmail and Yahoo and should work for anything as long as the provider is pop3 enabled.
But normal hotmail doesnt support pop3 right?
U have to buy a hotmail ID for it ?
no the hotmail recently announced they now support pop. settings are as follows:
Incoming: pop3.live.com
outgoing: smtp.live.com
Username: [email protected] (make sure you include @Hotmail.com)
outgoing server requires SSL security, so make sure you check that
good luck

hotmail account profile missing
Hi,

How can i use hotmail or msn mail account?
please help
thanks

reg edit to change htc mail sign in info

ok so the only way I could get my hotmail to reciece emails on htc mail without it redirecting me to hotmail.com was to put in a false address in the username. now I recieve my mail but can't send as its really rubbish software and won't let me change it back.
can't find the registry address to change it.
is there an address in registry or a way to actually make htc mail work without just redirecting you to [Whotmail
thanks
When I used the HTC set-up wizard I had to manually enter it (seems that HTC don't believe hotmail to be one of the bigger mail servers)
If you add the account through touchflo. select manual setup after you entered your e-mail and password... then use
pop3.live.com
smtp.live.com
Otherwise you can add the account through Windows Live. Providing you have the most recent version, it will add the account rather than direct you to the website.

Talk21 IMAP settings for android and win mobi

Don't settle for pop3, when IMAP works with talk21 and not only does mail get pushed out faster with IMAP, but when you click refresh it will be received faster than pop3.
The other advantage is subfolders are also supported with IMAP but cant be seen with POP3.
This mail feature works with my android eclair & hero phone and the settings are exactly the same for win mobiles also (not tested). The mail setting up roadmap is the same from what i can remember once in the mail feature for win mobi.
This is what you need to do to setup Talk21 email with IMAP.
Incoming server settings
IMAP server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port - 143
Security type - none
Outgoing Server settings
SMTP server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port - 25
Security type - none
Also important note - Enable 'require sign-in'
and enter your talk21 username and password
The End...works a treat for me
p.s. Its only taken me 3 years to work it out with win mobile and recently with android. Finally got it to work...hope this helps all the talk21 users out there. if there are any other similar posts out there with no answer...dont forget to mention my name when passing this post around.
RichPie and Tej2020 are both right. Thanks for those posts on the differing forums.
I also found though that some of the older talk21 accounts no matter if you follow those instructions still don't validate the username.
Solution:
Login to your BT Yahoo email account with your [email protected] username and password.
Go to settings and forward your mail (temporarily) to another email account.
You will get a verification email in that account for security.
You'll probably see that the username is not [email protected] but [email protected]
Now here's the trick.
Go back to your BT Yahoo email.
Don't forget to disable the forwarding of email (otherwise you'll never get any new emails in this account).
Logout.
Now try logging in as [email protected] and your usual password.
Same account right?
Follow RichPie's instructions (below) for allowing the email to be POP'ed.
1./ Log into you talk21.com account:
options
Mail options
POP3 & Forwarding
click on "allow forwarding"
Save.
Now in your phone setup your email with
Setting up the mail use these:
Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - mail.btinternet.com
Port - 110
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - mail.btinternet.com
Port - 25
and crucially, the username and password must be [email protected] with your password as this seems to be a migrated username/password combination on the migration of the talk21 accounts into Yahoo and is a popp'able account.
This should work.

EMAIL setup for NTLWORLD (Virgin) on O2 please?

Hi there,
I had the EMAIL working ok until Virgin updated their EMAIL setup a couple of months back, but now I seem to be having trouble whatever I try (keeps int deleting EMAIL's + having problems sending/receiving sometimes).
Thanks, Mark.
Check your settings:
Your Name
Your name as you would like it to appear to others when you send them an e-mail. We recommend entering your real name, although any name can be used.
E-mail address
Your Virgin Media e-mail address. Remember that the part after the @ symbol should correspond to your type of account, e.g., [email protected].
Account Type
POP3
Incoming mail server
pop3.virginmedia.com
Outgoing mail server (SMTP)
smtp.virginmedia.com
User Name
Use entire e-mail address.
e.g., [email protected]
Password
Enter the password for your e-mail account. If you don't know the password for your account you can reset it using the forgotten password tool in My Virgin Media.
Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)
Unticked/No
Thanks for that,
Is that an updated version (since they changed things a couple of months back) or working setups off your phone?
Also I had an O2 address (mail.o2.co.uk) on the outgoing server, as I had trouble sending in the 1st place and this cures things?
Also should the setup be the same for @virginmedia.co.uk addresses as @ntlworld.co.uk ones?
Cheers.

I know - I've done that in the past and with the settings they give it would only let you receive EMAIL's and not send them.
I'm not sure if the settings on there are just for mobiles on the Virgin network?
I wanted to be able to send/receive EMAIL's with O2.
I would have looked on the Virgin site myself if I had not tried them in the past and not bothered people on here.
That's the reason that I had to use the mail.o2.co.uk address for the outgoing server before (as it would not send EMAIL's from the settings they supplied on Virgin's site).
Nope - just tried the settings supplied for the NTLWorld EMAIL address on the Virgin site and they still don't work Dude (saying to check my account information when sending/receiving).

If i remember correctly to send now you have to use ssl encryption on the smtp connection and specify the same log in details as for the incoming pop connection (the smtp servers are no longer open). The reason for this is that when it was ntl/blueyonder the smtp servers would only respond to certain ip address' so any further security was not needed.
Nope - just tried the settings supplied for the NTLWorld EMAIL address on the Virgin site and they still don't work Dude (saying to check my account information).

i just read the latest post. The ip restriction may still be enabled so you may be screwed.
Ok - thanks for that.
Mark.
if you are using a data connection then set it to mail.o2.co.uk and make sure the connction is using o2 mobile
if you are using wifi at home thru the VM connection then you can use smtp.ntlworld.com

Sorry, but just checking - you have to setup a GMail account for this to work - I was wondering when you send somebody a message if it shows as from the NTL World EMAIL address or the GMail one?
Cheers, Mark.
Hi there,
Thanks for all the replies - I think I may have sussed it now with a combination of peoples replies and also using O2's server for the outgoing mail.
I can now send/receive + also delete EMAIL's off the server so they don't come through on my PC once I have deleted and done a send/receive on the phone.
Cheers, Mark.
I was also wondering about the IMAP4 setting on the mobile - does this mean that everything on the server is also stored on the phone as well, so you have old EMAIL's on your phone as well?
Does this slow the HD2 down, as it would be handy to have some of the older EMAIL's in folders on the phone.
It sends it from the gmail address.... All I have got in my folders is the stuff in my inbox... BTW what settings did you end up using for both the outgoing and sending?
Regards,
Alan
Hi there,
I got these settings E-Mailed from Virgin in the end (like the ones posted by somebody else earlier, but with info on the SSL + ports etc (not that I think you can setup the ports on the HD2).
It seems to work all ok now with even being able to delete messages off the server as well.
Cheers, Mark.
Thanks for getting in touch with the Virgin Media Support team.
The details for your email account settings are below.
Incoming Mail Server - pop3.virginmedia.com
Outgoing Mail Server- smtp.virginmedia.com
Username - Full email address including @ntlworld.com
Password - Your email password
Outgoing server requires authentication - Yes
Incoming Server Port - 995
SSL Required - Yes
Outgoing Server Port - 465
SSL Required - Yes
If you are going to be receiving emails to more than one device you will
need to use 'Recent' mode in order to facilitate this. To do this simply
add 'recent:' to the start of the username in your account settings on
your email client so if your username was '[email protected]' it
would become 'recent:[email protected]'.
