the yahoo settings are not included in android for one reason or another.
i know theres an app for yahoo mail but its not the greatest one, and its not embedded in the system messages.
i found a setup instructions somewhere on the internetz but this is the 5th time i change the android build and im sure many people has as well.
is it possible to include the working settings for yahoo mail in the future builds or update the current ones with yahoo settings.
needs to be posted in the general forum
this is a request for android builds, its related to android development...

Yahoo mail works fine...the only snag is the free account (that I'm guessing you've got) doesn't support POP3...you need to upgrade to a Yahoo plus account ($19.99 yr) to enable it to work properly...
well there are settings online that i have to enter from pop 3 to IMAP.
but it would be cool to have them already built in
I am currently running a SenseHD Based ROM, however stripped of the Sense UI (baadnewz lite). This means that I have all of the key HTC system apps (mail, calendar, dialer, people, camera, etc), but none of that Sense UI and launcher (rosie, etc.) Instead I use launcher pro.
The down side is that I cannot use the very nice Sense provided widgets. If I did, I could use the Mail widget to show the email that is received from the Mail application, which is configured to read from an exchange account (push). But since I cannot use this widget, I have to rely on other widgets to show the email.
The problem is that no mail widget that I have found can be "fed" by the HTC Mail app. It doesn't seem to expose the email so that widgets (other than the Sense widgets) to display the email. In other words, every other widget doesn't allow me to select the email account that the Mail application is using.
Alternatives would be to use K9 Email + pure messaging widget, which works, but I loose the ability for push mail.
The funny thing is that the HTC calendar app --does-- expose the calendar events to other widgets. I am able to select my exchange account in the widget settings.
Am I hosed here? Does anyone know of a way I can use an email widget that is fed by the mail from the HTC Mail widget?
I thought that the email and calendar emails/events gets pushed to a central DB for others apps to cherry pick from? I guess this isn't true?
I don't want to automatically forward the email to another IMAP account (say gmail) of which another widget could pick that up...
ideas?
I'm subscribing to this thread... would like to know this as well...
would like go know too, im searching for a real nice Mail widget Hut coudnt find anythingn.
now i forward ms Mails go ms googlemail anderen Push it from there go gmail...
I stubled on the blog of the creater of the EmailWidget.
His widget can gain access to the mail from the HTC Mail widget by forcing the install of the widget to the /system area.
See http://blog.invalidobject.com/android-app-email-widget/comment-page-1
I asked him if this nice side effect would occur for all apps (i.e.: other widgets) to gain access to the mail provided by the HTC Mail.....
If this is possible.. then we are looking good!
On some HTC devices like HTC Desire or Samsung Galaxy with Android 2.1 you even don't need to install my app as system app.
I don't know of any other app that is capable of showing mails from htc mail app. That was the main reason i built my app. But it is certainly possible to implement other widgets that could gain access like my app does.

Perhaps this thread can be moved over to the Desire Android Development forum - someone may know how to expose, and or disclose, the mail from the HTC Mail app, with or without root. There has been some hesitation in incorporating a potential integration in some mail widgets (ahem, Pure Messenger) because it requires root and is kinda "hacky" in nature.
The app either has a provider or not. I am not exactly sure why the widget being co-located with the HTC Mail app on /system is required.
The lack of a capable email widget is making me re-think my decision to go senseless!
Try Executive Assistant. Don't recall but I'm not running Sense to test.

Nah, you need K9 for that to read the exchange mails...
i want a tool where i dont need to install any other exchange tool ... Something like EMail Widget was perfect , but you need to have root on a desire Z stock 2.2 rom....
too bad though...

What do you guys use for e-mail that's not gmail for the phone? I guess this is more of an android question. Coming from iPhone its always been so simple. The native email app stinks.
K-9 is one of the better 3rd party email apps..
You are using the Samsung flavored native email app. The vanilla android version is a little different.
What are you wanting it to do or not do?

The email app that comes with this phone is utter crap. I use Kaiten Mail (you can get it at the play store) for all my email accounts, including gmail.
Hey all so with all these new updates for Go SMS, Facebook Messenger, and other apps allowing for SMS/MMS/FB Messenger integration, I wanted to open up a discussion to get your opinions on which app you think is the best and why you think that.
I couldn't find any existing thread so I apologies in advance if you know of one that does exists.
I want to install the Android Email app (4.4) instead of Gmail on my Nougat Moto G5+, but the install doesn't allow me and tells me to use Gmail instead - even though I already disabled Gmail. Does anyone know of a workaround please?
Because that app isn't supported in newer OS versions and has been depreciated by Google. Use Nine, Bluemail, K-9, or some other email application.
I've tried all those and am using Bluemail now. Don't like it much but it's the only one I've found that supports Outlook push AND pop3. K9 is way too complicated. Email "just worked" like Apple of old!
