every time my phone screen locks, when i go to use the phone it is asking for my yahoo email password, I put it in & check save password but it doesn't work, and then i'd have to do the same thing all over again... anybody having the same problem? any suggestions?
Mine did that for the first time last night. Today it is working. I think it was a problem with Yahoo because it would not accept my password from the web either?
What ROM are you using?
i am using the Stock ROM
Stock ROM and Yahoo Mail - no such problem

I have setup my Gmail account to download all the mail from the last 7 days but nothing happens. When I change to download every mail it works, but as soon I choose 30 days or 7 days nothing.
I have just installed Duttys latest ROM
Is there anyone who know anything about this problem?
Same problem, also using dutty's latest rom and unable to download mail of the past * days.
Thank you by the way, at least now I can see my mail by downloading everything as opposed to having to navigate to gmail using the browser
Downloading everything takes some time though (985 mails worth of time)
Exact same problem, also doesn't list google folders for some reason. Anyone know why this is? Or recommend a free email app to use, gmail one doesn't load for me?

All I know is that I had my phone replaced recently, as my old one was getting pretty beat up. I finally got the phone up to par with my old one in terms of setup except for e-mails. So I go to setup my Gmail account on the phone, and no matter what I try, I keep getting an error message about loging into the server, how I have the wrong login name or password. How is this possible? What am I doing wrong?
I've tried using the automatic setup (worked on the last phone), manual setup with POP3 and IMAP, even using a new password for Gmail. Nothing works at all. Please help!
Hey guys!
A friend of mine bought a HD2 today and is currently trying to setup his gmail account with the automatic settings.. bad thing is that it always asks him for the password! De checked the box to save password but it still asks for it..
any suggestions?
You have to enter the email address in full not just the start, for example
[email protected]
tried everything! he also tried my settings, username and password! on my device it works like a charm but on his.. no chance.. no idea
Try typing the password on a place where it appears in clear (like the username box) to see if some letters wouldn't be swapped because of keyboard layout weirdness or such...
We also tried it on PC via MyMobiler but didnt work! The password is 100% correct..
is it a googlemail or gmail account?
i have the same problem on CleanEX ROM 2.01.
The built-in gmail option always worked perfect for me until today. Something happened yesterday that prevented phone from booting, so had to hard reset it. Reinstalled my normal apps, and now trying to set up gmail again and it keeps asking for passwords for both accounts. The passwords I'm typing are 100% correct, absolutely no doubt as to validity or typing correctly.
Edit: got home from work, and it's working fine now. didn't even have to enter in the passwords again. Not sure what the issue is/was, perhaps gmail issue?
same issue after a hard reset still asks my password.. noticed that in account setting option it automatically creates a long password (encrypted so I 'm not able to see what is it) and if I insert mine seems it doesn't recognize it... back in account settings I find again that long password..
EDIT: to solve I deleted the email account from device, then I removed email tab from those thare visualized... soft reset... re-visualized the email tab and then re-create my account ( I mean with the old data)
maybe it's the browser? if u r using opera, go to the settings/advanced and see if "allow cookies" is disabled. Mine is enabled and I get right thru
I get this too every now and then (happened today). It always sorts itself out in the end though. Give it some time and try again.
The problem with google.... This happened to me as well about 2 weeks ago but only on one of my accounts. I could log in the web service but not through my phone or outlook. I went in the web way and changed my email setting to forward all mail to another account then after a few days all was well again.
***UPDATE***
Figured it out, but still would like to know why it happened. From the Sense Mail screen I was able to got to accounts and see the Yahoo to edit it, which after filling in the boxes for the server names, it showed back up in Winmo. Both the incoming and outgoing mail servers were deleted. But the server names that I typed in didn't actually work. I used some info I found on the web for that, maybe they were wrong? So then I deleted and readded it letting it pull the settings for yahoo that it found. Now it's fine.
Also noticed after the original soft reset that it lost my wifi password, just thought of that. My exchange email has never been affected by whatever this is. What would delete the server settings for my yahoo account and delete the stored password for my wifi connection?
This is a weird issue that I haven't seen discussed on here. It's happened to me twice now. The last time it happened I ended up doing a hard reset.
I have two email accounts on my phone. My Outlook Exchange account and my Yahoo Mail account.
My Yahoo Mail disappears in Winmo on the Messaging\ Email accounts screen. Doesn't even show it listed. BUT it shows up in the preview panes in Sense Mail, but only shows old emails. I can't send receive on the account at all from that Sense Mail screen or anything. I can just flip through what was already there before whatever happened, happened.
If I try to add a new account via Email accounts screen, it tells me that account is already on the phone. So it knows the account is on my phone, just won't let me access it.
Wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I don't mind hard resetting again, but I would love to know why it is happening.
Ive had the same issue happen to me twice so far also. Looks liek the new mail app maybe the culprit as I have had this happen on the diamond before with the new build.
This happened to me again today and here is exactly what it happening, yet I don't understand why.
First thing I noticed today was that I had no data connection. So I checked wireless control panel and sure enough it was disabled... So I tried to enable it. No love. gave me an error and took me to the network setup screen.
Then I looked and my Yahoo account was missing again from the windows email screen, yet still showing up in sense.
Back to the data situation: I had to edit the Tmobile connection settings and click ok through all of the screens. Once I did that, my Data connection was back.
Back to yahoo: I had to edit it through sense and it had lost both incoming and outgoing mail servers and my password. Tried to manually enter Yahoo's mail servers and it still doesn't work. Once I delete it and add it back, (letting it find the server info on it's own), it will work fine again... But for how long?
It's driving me a little batty...
Same issue has happened to me. Happens when I run out of battery or let the phone drain. Also when I reset phone while an app is running. Let me know if you guys find a fix for this.
it happens on stock and on custom roms. havent seen a fix yet
Happened to me again today. It's not specific to the shipping ROM because I have the new 2.13 ROM on my phone and this is the first time it has happened since I upgraded to the new ROM...
Gotta be something simple.
Even I've had the same problem twice..and in addition to losing the email accounts, all my apps which required login like facebook, fring, etc stopped remembering usernames and passwords. Even if I selected save password, it kept asking me everytime is started the app.
The first time it happened i did not notice why, but the second time it happed immediately after a soft reset done using BSB Tweaks after making some changes in it.
I have removed BSB Tweaks for the time being, so will wait and see if it happens again.
this happened both the times after upgrading to the 2.13 official ROM.
I don't have BSB Tweaks installed and it has happened to me multiple times. I usually lose most of my saved passwords as well in the other programs...
Lost E-Mail in 2.13 T-Mobile ROM
After upgrading to the new T-Mobile 2.13 ROM, I've had two instances where the email server settings have been lost. Same as described by others. Old emails show in Sense, but when I hit the soft button for my Inbox, I'm taken to the email setup screen.
If I cancel out and go to the setup screen through Sense, I find that everything is present except the inbound and outbound servers. Once I restore these everything is back to normal until the next time it happens.
It also happen to me. I believe this is because of the 2.13 update by T-MO.
Glad this thread exists. I ran in to this issue today too.
I convinced the Mrs to get get a wildfire (nice!) but having set up pop3 exactly like i set up on my Hero it says the password/username is incorrect, even tho the password or username is fine!
anyone else had this problem?
i checked to see if all the set up options were the same as my hero and they match perfectly.............any ideas?
the only thing anomalous is the sim card isnt working yet as her number ports today, but connection is fine over wifi
Don't know if this will help, but I set mine up to my yahoo email account using IMAP without any issues.
Update
Ok I now know its not a fault specific to the wildfire, I've tried setting up her email on my hero, with the same result. I've also used my pc to log on using her password and username with no problem at all..........weird!
As I said previously my own pop 3 sets up fine and is also with the same provider, yahoo in this instance, the only thing I can guess at is wether there is a user name length issue? Hers is only 12 letters long tho?
Will try imap and let you know, thanks for the suggestion or try the yahoo app.
Update
installed the yahoo email app from the market and the email comes thru fine with the mrs password etc.....wtf?!!! now i just want to get the HTC email app to work.......really dont get why this not connecting
weirder still!
just got my old diamond working and using the htc email app set up the mrs email account with no problem......
oh also works on my old Xda exec.........................
Hi,
are u setting it up manually or automatic. Because when i put my hotmail account in its working fine automatic. Manually i have no idea.
Also exchange and of course gmail works great on this phone!
Thanks for looking in I've tried to set up both ways even comparing with the settings on my hero, strangely all looks fine!
And as I said her settings work on every device I've tried except sense on android.
ANy solutions yet... ?? it tells me authentication failed..incorrect username/password .. i m setting up my gmail account .. not working for imap and pop both
Possible temporary solution
I bought this phone yesterday for my younger brother and since then its.. f***ing my mind out how to setup his email...
Well after trying all bull**** and even going on email settings tweaking it several times could not get the mails on Wildfire...Also the problem is not with username or password length coz tried to change that too..
For some reason though my account could be setup in a fly on his cell.. but for his own account i had to find a temporary solution
Tap Email setup >> type ur username and password and click manual setup>> Then in the first drop down menu Select POP instead of IMAP >> in the pop server box type pop.gmail.com>>Click on next and finish the process...
Note: For my account IMAP setup was done pretty quickly so it seems to be error from GMAIL server side i have mailed them to look into the matter and resolve the bugs if any.
Works fine for me both POP3 and IMAP.
I am thinking of switching to K9 mail though.

Password Length
In case anyone comes across this thread as I did looking for an answer to this question:
The length of your Hotmail Password was the culprit for my login success. I had a 17 character password and kept getting "Authentication Failed..." I then tried shortening it to 10 characters and it worked like a charm.
I hope this is the solution to a problem many others have been reporting.
this works for me. thanks heaps!
