Ok, so I just wanted to share little-something with you guys here at XDA
As you probably know adding Yahoo mail from stock EMail app will not get you anywhere... BUT what I found working is next:
1) Go to Social hub app;
2) Add account type "other";
3) fill in your yahoo mail settings;
4) and yep, it will pass verification
5) yahoo mail will be automatically added to EMail app;
6) use your Yahoo mail without need for installing other email client
Greetings!
I setup using stock Email app itself without any problem. Did you tried the stock first?

Yahoo mail not giving push service when you add in stock email app.(b'coz yahoo doesn't support idle IMAP)
there is separate yahoo mail app on market by yahoo inc. Working fine for me with push mail support
Another third party client supports yahoo push service is seven mail.
I had no issue setting Yahoo up. If you use the default app auto setup it uses pop email. Don't use this use the manual option and setup as an imap email account. The settings are available with a quick google.
i tried adding yahoo in def mail client using auto and it didnt work. when added in described way auto gives samsung.imap.mail.yahoo.com for incoming mail client. so, this is quick way of adding yahoo without need for manual settings. i use yahoo as secondary email so this does the job.
When you mean default , I meant Samsung default email app. I used settings as Imap.mail.yahoo.com and smtp.mail.yahoo.com.
I then setup gmail and hotmail manually using the Microsoft exchange options and also had push email too if wanted.
So default Samsung email app works really well without using Google email app.
Stock email app only asked for my email address and configured my yahoo account automatically. Has worked fine since day 1.

I use the yahoo mail app for my note, I would love to use the stock email app but it does not support push notifications and I don't think its on yahoo's part for the push notifications as on my ipod I use the mail app and its push notifications work fine with my yahoo account so I'm thinking its the stock app that doesn't support push notifications and hopefully the email app has push notifications on ICS

People, i want to know what do u use for Gmail account emails???
Do you use "mail" or "gmail" ???
Well,in mail you can set the synchronosation and retrival timings and frequency.
While using the "gmail" , u cannot set frequency of sync of mails.
Do suggest what is best for Gmail???

Guess it's personal taste, but I myself prefer the Gmail app, since mail notifications appear pretty much the second the mail arrives, and not on the next sync
I prefer gmail app too. There is no synch time, because gmail app have push notification.

I peter the Gmail app as well. Main reason is push notification and send as feature.

I had the same dilemma, HTC mail or gmail....
The gmail app has at least 2 important features missing:
1. There is no pinch to zoom (you can't zoom, this can be very frustrating at times).
2. There is no notification for incoming mail in labels (you only get notified for the main inbox).
For these reasons I finally decided to use k9 mail. It has much more features than the gmail app, supports push as fast if not faster than the gmail app including for labels, and zoom works as well as with HTC mail.
Mail can of course push gmail as well. When setting up an account don't choose googlemail (POP3/IMAP), but set it as Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync using details as described on http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299
I know it shows how to set it up on Windows Mobile, but you just need to use the same domain etc.
It will then push email just as it arrives to your mailbox. On my DHD it always beeps earlier than notification addon installed on Google Chrome on my PC when email arrives.
I'm using Gmail with all my other emails imported into it, so I only have to check one inbox to read mail from my AOL, MSN, Hotmail, Roadrunner, and of course, Gmail itself. Very nice mail app.
I use Gmail.
Gmail. If only because I can't be bothered setting up anything else.
Gmail. It's painless.
Cheers from my DHD.

Mail (gmail push). just because i use widgets .

The problem with HTC mail is the same as with the gmail app : it doesn't push the labels; so any new mail you have set to go to a label will not get notified (for instance, I get no notification for my alias email that goes to a sub folder aka gmail label).
K9 Mail has solved this problem. It's the only free mail app so complete and it just "works" where the 2 others above fail.
Tbh, I do prefer Gmail but when I got a reply from co pilot I had to reply within their email and I couldn't because it did not allow me to edit via my phone, its a shame really as I needed to send the email whilst I was on the move, but comparing the two, I do prefer the Gmail overall. The normal email has problems syncing and sometimes brings up emails from ages ago which I had forgotten about

I use Mail to sync with my my company's exchange server, mostly for calender and contacts so I know what im meant to be doing, I wont sync my mail unless there is something specific i need.
I still use gmail app for my gmail personal account.
I have found that HTC's exchange sync app really good, other people in the company have samsung androids or stock androids and have difficulties.
I haven't found a way of getting hold of attachments in the Gmail app... You can only view attachments if it's a document type that Gmail can handle.
Can anyone specify the differences between the two apps? After first getting my Xoom I was noticing that I was getting multiple alerts for the same emails... after doing some digging i realized that both the Stock Mail app and Gmail were notifying me in separate instances (assuming Gmail app was pushing to the Xoom and the Stock Mail app was fetching every 15 minutes - hence 2 notifications).
I noticed that the Gmail app also allows search, so both search and push are included in the Gmail app. Are there any other true differences between the two?

Labels, folders, archives and starring all work in the gmail app. I don't use priority inbox, but I believe that works too.
But...why would you set up the stock email app for your gmail?

I must have done it during the initial set up - I guess my question would be, why wouldn't you set up your Gmail through the Stock Mail App?

The Stock Mail App only has generic features that would work on most email platforms that you bring to it. If you have a GMail account you would want to use the GMail app because you can take advantage of the Gmail features, Search, Labels, Priority Box, and I'm pretty certain the Push is only for Gmail App which means your Stock Mail app periodically checks to a designated time but the GMail App gets mail pushed to it as it is received.
I import all of my other email accounts into gmail and give each a label which the Xoom handles beautifully. I'm not sure I knew there was a stock email app..lol
The other big difference is that the stock client does not allow you to chose the from address, it wont event reply from the address that was sent to
I use multiple mail address aliases and need to be able to reply from all of them but can't.

Perfect... I thought it would make more sense to use the stock app, but it appears I'm mistaken! Thanks for the help.
I decided to get rid of the yahoo email app because it wasn't working properly and decided to try the native email app to setup my yahoo account and it worked. Before it wasn't working. I don't know if this is old news or not but it's great. I no longer need the yahoo app

Guys after installing the 21.02 update of the official hotmail app My N4 don't go in deep sleep if I have push notification active in it. Do you have the same problem?
Anyone with the apk of previous version?

I had that issue with the hotmail app and ended up doing some research on this a little while ago. Now I have the stock Android email app configured to Hotmail's active exchange server for push mail. 2 weeks in, no issues.

Push Hotmail
If you want push Hotmail, I highly recommend you use the stock android email app. Open the stock email app, start a new account, enter your Hot mail account and password, but instead clicking next, click Manual Setup. Click exchange. In the Domain/username tap there and put your full email a dress it it. Make sure to retain the slash before it. Keep the password section the same. For the server, delete the whole thing and enter "m.hotmail.com" scroll all the way down and click next. TADA!! Push hotmail without any third party app.
Note, this works with Hotmail, Live, and Outlook. The email address in the Domain/username accepts @Hot mail, @Live, or @Outlook! The server stays the same though. Google knows how to write their apps properly.
Sure Hotmail app has been update but thanks to Microsoft after this problem I have setted up the default email app and is great for hotmail.
I was going to configure it even on gmail but i don't understand why on hotmail it has push notification and with gmail only check in X min.
Btw deleted hotmail app.

I'm just using the default configuration that as server has dub-m.hotmail.com. ATM I don's see any problem using dub server. Why do you suggest the manual setup? Is it there any problem that i haven't seen yet?

Gmail does not allow push mail with apps anymore. They removed it as of Janurary 30, 2013 - first announced in December 2012. The only app that can do push mail is the Android gmail app, and not even outlook can do it.
Hey Guys, just wondering if the default mail app pushes email. I didn't see the push option in the settings, all i saw was a check frequency option of every 15,30,60 minutes etc.... am i missing something? I don't want to use the gmail app.
No it doesn't. It only will if you use it with exchange. Only the gmail app uses push. There are a couple apps in Play Store that uses pushes service like K-9 Mail

First time I try setting my Hotmail account in years due to the lack of exchange support, for my surprise it works now, and it pushes all messages, so in a summary, I assume that it will Push all Exchange Email accounts. regular Imap and POP just schedules to check Emails.
