Your thoughts on Yahoo Mail app

My experience was that it destroyed battery life. I can't check my yahoo mail with the regular mail app. It always says the email is "still on the server" when I click on it. What are you guys using to check yahoo mail?

I just use the stock email app that comes with the phone. Since rooting I have to set it up manually but I haven't had any issues with it.

My girlfriend just had this problem with her Evo. She took it into Sprint and apparently the mail app was trying to connect to the wrong server. It only took a few minutes for the Rep to set it right and she was on her way. This was the stock app by the way. Not the Yahoo app off of the market.

I use the stock HTC email program. When it says email is still on the server, try going into settings and increasing the mail size limit.

3rd party email problem

Hey everyon, so through my email app I hve my hotmail account syncing up to it. The problem I have is that when I receive an email and delete it from my phone, it does not delete it from my email account. I only check my email by computer every couple of days so its a PITA to delete a couple hundred emails when I do get on a computer. Does anyone else experience this and if so is there a work around or a free app that will sync my email and delete them from the server as well as my phone

Switch to gmail... it is way better. Plus why would you have a hotmail account with a google phone...

Probably because I've had the email account for years before I had the phone, hell i'vehad th account before there was gmail. I understand that it is a google phone and that Gmail works better with thr phone but With over 200 email contacts I can't just drop my hotmail account.

First off, I don't have experience with your senarion.
That said, have you checked any settings on the phones email app nd hotmail for this problem? Also, do the emails that don't get deleted appear read? Or they unread?

OP, try Maildroid. Within its settings you can set how it interacts with your server.

If you go into the email app, then 'Settings->Incoming server settings->Delete email from server', you can change it from 'Never' to 'When I delete from Inbox', although I have had mixed results with this actually working on my Hotmail account. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.

DL30 not sending Exchange Emails

Pop3 Email problems

So I just got the droid x and I am trying to set up my work email on it. It is a pop3 account. I enter all of the information it asks me such as incoming and outgoing servers and the port numbers and when I click done it says that the account was set up successfully. However, when I go into the email account and try to retreive messages, it says that the user name or password is incorrect. I have triple checked all of the settings and they are correct. I have also tried it on my friends droid x and I get the same error. I am not rooted or anything so im just running stock. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

Its our own domain that we have through go daddy. I just downloaded the K-9 Mail app and it works fine. I would like to be able to just use the default mail app though.

yahoo mail

Looks like yahoo mail and ymail was screwing up and not allowing logging in to check mail. anyone else have this issue?

Only issue I have had is that it does not always tell me I have an email. I have a few times been kicked out of it and then when I logged in on my PC had a message saying that my account may have been compromised. After changing the password I was able to get back in on my phone. After all that the app never seems to update and tell me I have an email. When it does I find I have about 10 of them. This is with no settings changed.

I can't log into mobile website but u can log into phone app email

If you are talking about the actual ymail app,I had nothing but trouble with it.I configured the stock HTC mail app for my yahoo account and it works flawlessly.
