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.

Exchange to battery consumer

Hello everyone,
I connect to gmail using Samsung Email client (using exchange, not imap or pop). While it's pushing email to me, it always give this message of connection error whenever I open Email. And when I checked what could be consuming my battery so fast, I found exchange being on top.
Anyone is experiencing this or have any idea?
Cheers

Do you know what version of Exchange Server you're connecting to? Older versions of Exchange had annoying issues with ActiveSync on the Galaxy Tabs, and I always had to delete and re-add the Device Administrators policy to get it to work...

It's google exchange server. I'm not sure what's the version. I never had this problem in my classic tab.

Sorry about that. I forgot you were connecting to GMail.
What error are you getting when you try to sync?

Unable to connect gmail.

I am using the email client that came with the note, if you configure your email using imap, or lucky enough to have exchange then push will work, if you do pop3 then push won't work. I bought Kaiten which is the paid version of K9 pop3 is still timed and not pushed.

If you have Exchange then it will push...

Yes the native client supports servers that will do push (ie exchange).
Incidentally the mail client "Touchdown" ****s all over the native client (yes is does cost approx $20, I reckon its worth it.)

I have Exchange setup but push works for only few days and it stops for some reason

Just install the official Microsoft: Hotmail + Seven from the Play Store, free and configure it to push.

I always thought Gmail was push

it is.

Push on the native email client works but has this flaw: it will disable push when it is unable to connect to server. You need to manually load the app again to re-enable push.
This disabling might happen when travelling in train when you loose network momentarily, or when leaving one WLAN and connecting with another after a few minutes.

Ah...i use to wonder why sometime push is working and sometime not...i thought somewhere related to data connection but couldn't get the exact pattern. Thanks, This will surely help.

Any idea why I'm not able to see embedded images on native email client with exchange setup? It's showing only as attached files and image itself on email has little blue question mark

Ok thanks guys. Can you post me the steps to set up and hotmail account with push? I remember that i had my hotmail with push on SGS somehow. I just can't find the tutorial anymore.

I think you need to set the hotmail server to m.hotmail.com to get push to work.
