Hey when i sign up for yahoo email i keep getting issues like errors and stuff
i have this same issue and it seems to go across multiple builds. I have yet to see an answer. I will keep ussing the search feature or wait until someone sheds som light on it here. In the meantime I suggest, if you have not already, download the yahoo mail app. it works very well. It is just not native like gmail on the android version of e-mail.
Incoming Settings
IMAP
Imap Server: android.imap.mail.yahoo.com or imap.mail.yahoo.com
SSL
Server Port: 993
If you are using HTC Mail enter those in manually, leave the outgoing settings at default.

username n password keep on poping up..
Settings are:
Username: your complete email, including '@gmail.com'
incoming server: pop.gmail.com
outgoing server: smtp.gmail.com
Remember to enable pop3 access on the Settings panel in Gmail.
You have to use non-default port number for the SSL.
465 for outgoing
995 for incoming
so it's:
pop.gmail.com:995
smtp.gmail.com:465

ok I managed to retrieve my email but unfortunately I can't sending an email. so any idea?
Come to think of it, I was having this issue early on as well. I just used a different outgoing server to send my mails. Luckily my carrier provides a free email and I simply used their outgoing server settings for the gmail account and everything worked after that. If you have another mail account that works try setting the outgoing mail server on your gmail account to the other working server.
how if I dont have any. But why is it? Why gmail outgoing is not working?
My gmail is working fine on my jam. I don't use any special port numbers either. You need to go to the advanced section in account setup and select SSL and also check the authentication on send box. That worked for me.
Sometimes being connected with activesync can cause an email account to get blocked because the PC has been collecting emails.
Gmail working fine for me too, used EmailWiz to set it up. Newer version even includes gmail so takes about 30 secs (early version needed a couple more details). Might be worth deleting your current account and trying?
As you're receiving mail I guess you've turned the proxy settings on with your gmail account, that got me first time I tried.
Ok, From my understanding yahoo mail does not have IMAP. My mogul does have IMAP and receiving folders from yahoo mail. How do I get my outlook at home to mimic my titan????
Upgrade to Yahoo Mail Plus
Is your mogul still "sending" and receiving email??? I can still receive email, but can no longer send.
Yahoo send problem
Around noon yesterday I suddenly lost the ability to send messages from my yahoo account as well. Mail still comes in, I can send from other mail accounts, just not yahoo.
I gave it a day, deleted yahoo, and recreated the account using the 'auto setup' from sprint. That didn't fix the problem, so I'm on hold with sprint support right now. Talked to 2 people who were of no help - didn't even pass the problem on, just tranferred me, waiting for the good tech support now (25 minutes so far, glad I used the work phone and not my mogul!).
yea just had the same issue, VZW had no idea. Yahoo screwing things up?
Sprint support
36 minutes on the phone, 3 different "technicians", and the last one (the only one who had a clue) had me set my outgoing mail to smtp.sprintpcs.com instead of yahoo's.
It works, but is a definite work-around.

Alltel said to do the same thing. The only problem is that it does not show who it came from properly. By using their outgoing server, what do others see when receiving it? If it was just a personal account I would not mind, but this is my business account.
I got mine to work by entering the pop3 settings, but now all my personalized folders are gone.
any idea of what will work on verizon?

I am on Verizon and I have a Yahoo Plus account. I used the auto setup for yahoo.com and got IMAP for incoming, but it had issues with another setting. The Plus instructions on their pages only tell you about the POP3 Incoming service. This was not what I wanted because the IMAP4 service will allow you to sync more folders than just the inbox. After a couple of experiments, I found that by starting from scratch and setting up the account configuration manually, I could use IMAP for the incoming. All is good now!
Here are the settings I am using for IMAP4 for incoming and smtp for outgoing.
Incoming mail server:
imap.mail.yahoo.com
Account type:
IMAP4
Outgoing (SMTP) mail server:
plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
From the Outgoing configuration page-
Advanced Server Settings
SSL NOT Required for Incoming e-mail ****IMPORTANT****
SSL IS Required for Outgoing e-mail
Good luck

Yes It Works With Verizon - Free Yahoo
Hi Everyone,
New here, but loving it. The Messaging Application will work "sometimes" with the free yahoo accounts, because Yahoo blocks access to their SMTP server unless you have a Yahoo Plus! account.
HOWEVER - Verizon and Yahoo have a partnership.
Just adjust your settings to use Verizon's outgoing email server.
Incoming Mail Server:imap.mail.yahoo.com
Account type is IMAP4
Outgoing Mail Server:smtp.vzwmail.net
[x] Outgoing server requires authentication
[ ] Use the same user name and password for sending email
Outgoing Server Login:
Username: (yourphonenumber)@vzwmail.net
Password: The password you set up for www.vtext.com
This isn't really a workaround... it's the solution. You're still using your yahoo account, but Verizon's outgoing mail servers are doing the sending instead of yahoo's so that you can do it for "free" by paying Verizon instead of yahoo. Hope this helps!
What a valuable first post, mogulecule! Thanks. I happen to have VZW and two Yahoo accounts: One is Plus ($20 a year), the other free. I'll try this and report back if they behave differently.

Hi guys.
New to the forum.
Im having a problem with my xperia and free yahoo account. Mine is setup to IMAP4. But when i try to download e-mails from my account i get a prompt to enter my password. I enter it and the prompt comes back up again saying incorrect when its isnt.
Will it not let me in as im trying to use yahoo SMTP with a free account as you state. If i upgrade my account will it work.
I setup a test gmail account and that is POP3 and everthing works fine.
Any ideas.
I use System Seven and the only problem I've had is, it did not work with m2d, kept restarting m2d. But love it, works great.
no more yahoo problems! here you go guys, its the 9th one in the list dated 11/12/08. this should fix the yahoo problem we all have been having.

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.

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
Hi guys,
It took a lot of forums research in order to find a solution to working Yahoo Mail in the unified inbox for Android Froyo 2.2. This is tested and 100% working, both over WIFI & 3G.
If you want to have imap yahoo mail in Froyo, these are the settings:
Incoming settings:
IMAP Server: android.imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 993
Security type: SSL
IMAP Path prefix: [leave this blank]
Outgoing settings:
SMTP Server: android.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 465
Security type: SSL
Make sure the box is ticked for 'Require sign-in'
Also, if you use the default setup for your hotmail account you will not be getting push email or IMAP, just POP3 email which is annoying for some people.
In order to get true push email + IMAP for HOTMAIL use this settings:
Incoming settings:
Enter your email account and password
Do no hit next, instead click Manual Setup
Chose Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
In the Domain\Username field: delete everything and enter your email address
In the Server field: enter m.hotmail.com
Keep the box ticked for 'Use secure connection (SSL)' and keep the box unticked for 'Accept all SSL certificates'
Hit Next

juicecultus...you saved me. My MSN just stopped syncing and I couldn't get anything on my phone ... Thanks for the info!!! You da Bomb!!
I have tried the settings which shagge68 has suggested, but it did not work. I have Froyo 2.2 and this setting has worked for me. Thanks a lot.
Setting working but unable to send mail
Settings are working and have tried other setting also, but still not able to send mail from yahoo. I have seen may uses have the same problem. Is there any problem with android 2.2?
This is so damn frustrating to try and get working! Anyone else use cPanel, my web hosting is with Vidahost and that's what they use.
These are the manual settings from cPanel
Mail Server Username: [name]@[domain].co.uk
Incoming Mail Server: mail.[domain].co.uk
Incoming Mail Server: (SSL) caracas.footholds.net
Outgoing Mail Server: mail.[domain].co.uk (server requires authentication) port 26
Outgoing Mail Server: (SSL) caracas.footholds.net (server requires authentication) port 465
Supported Incoming Mail Protocols: POP3, POP3S (SSL/TLS), IMAP, IMAPS (SSL/TLS)
Supported Outgoing Mail Protocols: SMTP, SMTPS (SSL/TLS)
I'm trying to use the Mail by HTC app, but it takes a silly long time checking the account details, and then it comes up with an error about no being able to contact the incoming server, so you can either press 'OK' or 'Continue', pressing continue takes you to the outgoing server settings, enter them and it sets up the account. Only problem is that I can't receive any emails, I can send them fine though.
I am using IMAP by the way. Anyone have any ideas what's going wrong? Or anyone else use cPanel?
Thanks
All sorted now. Manually set it up on Thunderbird and then just used the settings from that into my phone.
I Use Cpanel, have 7 Emails in my DHD .... works perfect... (IMAP)
I use Maildroid insteed of the build in mail client.
