Free YahooMail IMAP settings - Nexus One General

I got tired of having to look them up everytime I flashed a rom. Plus I figure some other people might need it as well. So here are the Free Yahoo Mail setting for use here in the US.
Type in your email address and password
Select "Manual"
Select IMAP
Change the IMAP server address to
imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port
143
Security Type
None
Select "Next"
Change the SMTP server address to
smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
Port
587
Security Type
None
Check
Require sign-in.
Select "Next"
finish up the rest of the setup as normal.
Note: These settings are for the stock email app that comes with the android OS.
(ty Britoso for pointing out I neglected to mention this)
Also, yahoo free email only works through your service providers data connection, will not work via wifi
(ty thepawn for reminding me)
===================================
I hope this helps a few people

It worked! Thank You....so much more convenient than going to browser and going into yahoo site.

thanks, but all I get in my yahoo inbox now (opened in 1997) is spam

I'd like to add (for ppl like me) that these settings are for the "Email" app that comes with your phone.

Just FYI, the IMAP settings will NOT work over WiFi, only mobile networks.

The other thing that you can do is login into the Yahoo Canada website and enable the POP3 and SMTP server - it's free.

previously i had been using pop instead of imap. the only difference is select pop instead of imap during setup, and use pop.mail.yahoo.com
try that and let me know if it works for you

Exchange 2010 Push Mail W/ Outlook Anywhere,Alias's, POP Forwarding, NOW w/ POP3/IMAP

I just need everyone to re-send me all their information in THE BELOW FORMAT:
First Name:
Last Name or Initial:
E-Mail address requested: [email protected]ztek.com
Alias: [email protected]
Password:
For those of you from now on, I will require a $5 monthly donation to setup an account (this will be done through a subscription and paypal). I feel this is a fair amount for whoever wishes to donate. I will keep the old link for those that wish to donate above what I already ask for.
It will include an alias and Outlook anywhere access (use Outlook with this account). With each account you can have an alias setup so that your recipents see your email address as anything you like! Also, for an extra $5 per account I can automatically forward your pop3 or IMAP e-mail to your new exchange account.
Go to http://zteknology.com/paypal.html to make your donation. Make sure to use the subscription link.
The Outlook Web Address is now https://mail.getztek.com/owa/.
So if you like the service and feel that you can contribute, please send paypal payments to [email protected]. Anything helps, even if it is just $1.
If you do not know what Exchange 2010 is or offers, please google it before making any decisions about e-mailing me.
Also, please give me at least 24 hours to set up your accounts once I receive your information. Usually it will be far less than 24 hours. Thanks.
MOST IMPORTANT: do NOT e-mail me directly. All communications about Exchange 2010 must go through PM. If I receive an e-mail I will simply ignore it. This is done to simplify everything. When I have to spend extra time to figure out if you e-mailed me or PMed me, it just slows me down and e-mail's are easier to lose. Thanks for your cooperation.
Here's the setup info...I feel it's pretty thorough, but if anyone wants to add anything just let me know.
Setup on Outlook 2003/2007:
If you have an existing Outlook profile, follow steps 1-4..otherwise skip to the next section. These steps are for XP based machine. If you have Vista it will be similar but not exactly the same.
1. In Outlook, go to File --> Import and Export --> Export to a file --> Personal Folder File (.pst) --> click on the root folder in this window and choose “select subfolders” --> Click Next --> click browse and choose a location and file name for your .pst file. I suggest the desktop. --> Click Finish --> Click OK.
2. Let Outlook finish exporting your data. This make take anywhere from 1 minute to 30-45 minutes depending on how much data you have (e-mail’s, contacts, calendar).
3. On your XP Machine, go to Start, Control Panel.
a. Make sure your Control Panel is set to Classic View (Upper left hand corner of the window). If it says “switch to Category view” then you are good, but if it says “switch to classic view” then you should click it.
4. Double click on the Mail Icon within the Control Panel.
a. Click on “Show Profiles”
b. You should see your profiles here, most people will have one one and it will be called “Outlook.” THERE IS NO NEED TO REMOVE THIS!
c. Click “Add” --> Type in a Profile name (e.g. Exchange 2007/10) --> Then proceed to step 1 below.
-----
1. If using Outlook 2007/2010, At the prompt where you choose manual. If using 2003, ignore this part and proceed to the next step.

8. make sure SSL is checked
9. click on fast and slow networks, and choose basic authentication
10. Click “OK” twice
11. Then click Check Name
12. And the username/password box will pop open
13. Type in GETZTEK/User or ZTEK/User if using Exchange 2010. (this user is your e-mail address. For Example: your email address is [email protected], this is johndoe)
14. Type in Password

Can I be the first to say thankyou to Denial for this service! Just re setting up all my stuff, but from what I've seen of the new OWA it looks really good!
Thanks!
EDIT: Can you please turn off enforcing security policies on mobile devices (eg PDA's). I don't want to need to have a password when I switch on my phone everytime.
Exchange all set up
I got exchange up and running smoothly. It seems to be working awesome... Will post more over the next few days as I use it!!! Thank you so much!

I turned off the security policy. Just soft-reset your device and then turn the lock off. Isn't the new OWA awesome!?!?

Thanks for that! No more fumbling around trying to remember what I put as a password. And yeah, the new OWA seems really good! I'm actually thinking about ditching Outlook later on and just using the web interface.

I plan on the service being around for a long time seeing as how I use it myself. At some point I might have to close registrations if I run out of accounts I can give out., but the service should keep on tickin'.
Trying to setup my mailbox again after the upgrade, but it seems the exchange server doesn't support connections using entourage 2004 (mac outlook) anymore?

This is a great service and is far better than the previous Exchange version I was using.

I just forward one of my pop3 e-mail accounts to my exchange account. I'm not sure if this is what you are asking. There is no way for the Exchange server to automatically download pop3 mails from, say gmail. You have to forward those e-mail's.

Actually, there are third party connectors you can use, such as POPcon, to pull POP3 and IMAP email. Apparently you can also use Fetchmail to accomplish the same thing. I'm attempting to set that up right now for myself.

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 / MSN POP3 settings

It seems that this is a little known fact that msn / Hotmail pop3 access can be gained using these settings.
I find that K9 Mail works better than the standard email app.
Incoming:
Username: [email protected]
Password: your password
POP server: pop3.live.com
Port: 995
Security type: SSL (always)
Outgoing:
SMTP server: smtp.live.com
Port: 25 / 587
Security type: TLS (always)
Username: [email protected]
Password: your password
When i first set an account up it brings back some blank mail, which i delete after that it works fine.

Dubstar_04
Saved just in case
not sure if this still works but back in december you could get your existing hotmail.com account linked by changing your location to Australia and using default settings.
I just set it up as an account to import from on my GMail and its working great so far. Over 10k messages imported and now I have a decent junk mail filter and can see when I get an email in a timely fashion rather than having to remember to login to hotmail every once in a while.
i'm in US..it worked good. thanx for tip
Thread revival! I've put in the above settings but my phone doesn't seem to want to connect with the hotmail account. Yet its accepted the settings. I go to launch the mail app, the little refresh icon spins but no emails come up (even though I know I have unread emails waiting for me). Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

Just had the same issue with my Hotmail.co.uk in K9, everything had been working up until the last couple of days, no changes had been made.
I had tried re-entering the fetching mail details, which it accepted, but still no mail was being fetched.
I managed to fix it by:
- From the account summary page, tap & hold on the account
- Choose 'Advanced'
- Choose 'Recreate data (last resort)'
NOTE: This will wipe any existing mails from the chosen K9 account & recreate the account profile.
All my emails then came flooding in
works!!! thanx

Htc hero + izymail problem

Hi, im havin a problem configuring my hotmail through izymail.
Could anyone help?
Can't help you with your specific problems, but did you know Hotmail POP3 access is now free? (No IMAP though)
Ok. I've got to have imap support for my hotmail. That's why I paid for my izymail account.
Is yours a hotmail.com or co.uk as I had privacy with co.uk needed to change the settings from the preset ones.

Thats ok, I just thought I'd mention it incase you weren't aware
What problem specifically are you having with setting it up?
My mail is hotmail.com, not co.uk
I've tried to choose POP
Pop-server: in.izymail.com
Safety: none
Serverport: 110
Smtp: out.izymail.com
safety: none
serverport: 25 + 587
Edit.
It worked. Can now delete messages from server

Does that setup allow you to view your custom hotmail folders in HTC Mail client? From what I understand, you need to access via IMAP to have the folders be recognized and workable.

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.

Okay here is the procedure on how to get the free version of Yahoo mail WORKING on your G1.
Make Sure your WiFi Connection is turned OFF first, before you tell me this does not work.
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
