Hello All! Forever I've wanted my mail combined in the stock app, but Yahoo! IMAP wouldn't work over wi-fi without using K9, etc. I tried again and have success thanks to mtwebster's git commit: http://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_Email/commits/froyo
If you want your Yahoo! mail in the stock email (vanilla email client, not htc) app, add your IMAP account manually as usual and use the following incoming and outgoing servers:
Incoming server: imap.next.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing server: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
I've tested it and it works great for me! I now have a combined mailbox with my Exchange (work) mail and my yahoo mail and can access both via Wi-Fi or 3G!
Enjoy
i dont know about the "next" command in ur first string..but ive always used :
INCOMING : imap.mail.yahoo.com
OUTGOING : smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
im sure ur way works..but theres an alternative if the first way doesnt work for anyone for some odd reason

Hey SoCal. I saw your other post about ordering your Dinc. I think you'll love it! Welcome!
As for the servers, the ones you listed are the ones I had and they will NOT work via Wi-Fi (except if using K9 mail and I hate that ugly @ss icon and wanted one mail client and one inbox for all of my mail) but work fine over 3G. That's why I had to find the others. Give it a test and you won't even be able to add your account to the stock client while connected to a wireless access point. It will keep telling you "The username or password are not correct". When I'm at home or at work, I'm always connected to wireless, so not being able to get my mail is unacceptable.
Thanks for the reply, though!
awesome catch then eh? kudos on that!
and thanks for the welcome. being on an HDPI device is gonna be a bit of a learning curve as far as development goes..but im sure with a bit of the forum help ill be able to find my way just fine.
not working for me...

This is the regular plain-jane HTC mail app? I tried using these server names to set up my regular yahoo (not y-plus) account...left SSL and default ports unchanged. I had to switch to 3G-only even to get past the incoming server page in manual setup. I got the account set up, but with WiFi active I get the same old errormsg.
Is yours still working? I wonder what we did differently.

No, that was on the vanilla email client when I was using Ruby. I tried with the htc client and got the same issue that you did. I might have to restore my ruby backup and see if it still works and what the ssl settings are.
EDIT: I just verified that this works on the vanilla email client, via wifi, with security set to none but won't work on the htc client.

Hello,
i just got my Hero and I'm now trying to setup my POP email account using HTC mail. I'm using the same settings which i had on my HTC Diamond but for some stupid reason i cannot setup the outgoing SMTP server on the Hero.
No matter what I do, i always get a
"550 Administrative prohibition" from the outgoing mail server.
However, i can receive email using the same account information, just sending does not work
Any hints?
have you turned authentication on for the outgoing server?
that error suggests you haven't and it is blocking you because of it!

Yes, i have. Actually, when i turn it off i do not get any error messages during account setup but then again i cannot send any mail in the HTC mail app
The above error occurs when the HTC mail setup prog tries to verfiy the settings with the smtp server.
Do you use a different username for your smtp server? That flatout refuses to work for me in HTC Mail, I would suggest you try K-9 a much better email app.

No, it's the same username (=email address).
ok, next one to try, i know on my server, the username is the email address bbut with a + instead of the @. Usually i don;t have to use it and the @ sign works, but some programs i have to use the +
could that be it?
Nope, sorry. That didn't do the trick as well.
Meanwhile i read on some other forums that it depends on the mail server, that's why some work and some won't. As it seems the HTC Mail app is sending a "script" (whatever) during account setup that is treated as malicious by the server and ignored therefore.
I got "Account is not supported" - "Sorry, Yahoo! Mail is not currently supported" message when I try adding new email account for my Yahoo! Mail (not premium, I read somewhere it would've worked if it's premium).
I did search but no luck of finding relevant answer. I'm fully aware that there are alternatives such as Yahoo! app & K-9 Mail, this posting is just out of curiosity as to why. In general other Android phones support Yahoo! Mail (I know at least Evo & Sprint Hero do) -- could it be that Sprint puts more work into it whereas AT&T has been as always too busy with answering customers rants about Jobs-almighty's death-grip?
Edit: Solved! Thanks to armyengineer51 and FZ1Darren for the hint of going with manual setup.
The issue turns out to be Yahoo! Mail is (when auto-setup) using POP, which is not available for free accounts. I googled it and found BadBoy's post over at androidcommunity dot com forums that mentioned the host names for Yahoo! mail servers. Here's how i set it up:
- choose manual settings
this is your incoming mail configurations
- fill in user name (your Yahoo email) & pass
- select IMAP, server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
- select SSL, leave port as default
- hit next (authenticating)
this is your outgoing mail configuration
- fill in user name & pass (same as incoming)
- SMTP server: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
- select SSL, leave port as default
- hit next (authenticating)
if servers are reachable & your cred is correct at this point you just have to label & set your "From" name for this email account.
- done
Why not just download the yahoo mail app?
Just do the manual setup and it works fine, I've got three yahoo accounts on mine, no problems.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
the auto setup didn't work for my .sbcglobal (att-yahoo) email. manual worked fine for 2 att-yahoo accounts.
The Yahoo Mail app from the market is pretty lame. Doesn't delete email off the server, can't open attachments, can't edit forwarded email either.
This works for me also. I don't know why ,but after flashing from CM6 to Liberated and back to stock, my Aria didn't want to auto set up yahoo correctly. Gmail worked just fine on any ROM.

Sorry to bother guys, but has anyone here able to set up their Yahoo email, if you have one up? I just can't seem to get it to work.

Use K9 Mail instead of the stock email app. Works very well with Yahoo.

K9 huh? I'll check that one out. Thanks buddy!
Yahoo! Mail app from the Market.
The official Yahoo! Mail app is really slow, at least in my experience (Captivate). I've tried it a few different times and always go back to K9.
I went with K9 for now. I still can't get it to push for some reason though...
The Yahoo app blows ass, and like above said, it's slow...
Use these settings from this site. I use this site for setting up Yahoo IMAP settings on customers' Android devices daily.
YAHOO IMAP
Incoming IMAP Mail ServerSetting :

I was quite excited reading your post, seeing an incoming server setting that I had not come across before. (the 'n' thing) However, still no push functionality. I wonder if ANYONE has EVER succeeded in making Yahoo push work on Android? I use K9 which works brilliantly with every possible email provider, but the Yahoo one. Sure, it retrieves my mail, but only when I poll manually. Still no push. Does ANYONE have information on how to get this working? Please help! And if you could provide the correct settings, the post MUST render a 'sticky' !!!!!!!!!!
Incoming mail server : imap.mail.yahoo.com
Outoing mail server : smtp.mail.yahoo.com
This is what i used and its working perfectly.

Thanx for taking time to reply. Let me just get this straight:
you get your emails right away to your phone (i.e. "pushed")?
And you use either "no SSL port 143" or "SSL port 993"?
And you're using K9 rev. 3.403 to retrieve your emails?
Are you using "[email protected]" or just "johndoe"?
Could you please present ALL your settings here?
Because I have tried both (rather ALL) settings, to no avail.
I just can't figure why it works for some, but not for others.
Grrrrrrrrr.....
Anybody experiencing an issue like mine?
I'm able to receive my Yahoo! emails through the default email client but can't send from it.
It keeps staying in my Outbox and prompts a connection error. I've tried countless SMTP server settings to no avail.
1. android.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
2. smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
3. smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Anyone has a solution to this?

Download the official Yahoo Mail app. It's actually pretty nice and does Push.
http://market.android.com/details?id=com.yahoo.mobile.client.android.mail
im surprised you were even able to set up your yahoomail. i've never been able to set up my yahoo on stock email client on any android devices i've owned. always had to use the yahoomail app.
Mine works fine using:
android.smtp.mail.yahoo.com

Can't get Yahoo Mail to work as imap/pop3 on Galaxy S3. It appears Yahoo is forcing people to use the Yahoo Mail app. If you want to access Yahoo mail as imap/pop3 instead of using the Yahoo Mail App, then they are charing $19.99 a year for "Yahoo! Mail Plus" to grant pop3 access.
I tried the following imap settings:
Server
imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port
143
Also tried pop settings, no luck.
Doesn't work, won't connect to Yahoo servers. Does anyone know a solution? I have a feeling they really want you to upgrade to Yahoo! Mail Plus, but then again it still works on a Blackberry without upgrading.
I'm confused. Any solutions?
Yahoo on imap works for me with the following settings.
Incoming
IMAP server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
Security type - None
Port 143
Outgoing
SMTP server - smpt.mail.yahoo.com
Security type - None
Port 587

Can't get it the email the automatically PUSH, I have to hit refresh or wait until my set email check frequency. Do you know how to get it to push instantly?
Also can someone explain the difference between
SSL, SSL Accept all Certificates, TLS, TLS Accept all Certificates ?

Only if you have their paid service can you get push email. The only reason gmail is push is because thats the way they designed the app and syncing.

Got it, I figured you needed the paid service. But something that perplexes me....Yahoo push email works on Blackberry devices without needing to pay for the upgraded Yahoo Mail Plus.
hmmmm
