Hi all,
I have downloaded the K-9 email app for my Hero.
However I cannot get it to work with IMAP for my BT Yahoo (btinternet) email accounts...
I had IMAP working on my Nokia N97 so am sure it will work on the Hero - but can anyone assist with the settings please.
I prefer IMAP as it gives me the chance to delete directly of the server and then i am not downloading same messages at home...
Thanks
Stav
BT Internet uses pop mail not IMAP.
It sets up fine for my btinternet accounts

Its a right pain setting up POP3 mail acocunts, in fact I've never had one working.
Currently I've solved my Yahoo and Hotmail accounts by using Windows Live and forwarding all my mails from yahoo to hotmail.
But I've got another POP3 account that wants money to set up mail forwarding. Sod that me thinks.
I'm 100% sure that all my settings for POP3 mail retrieval are correct,
INCOMING: pop3.graffiti.net
OUTGOING:smtpx.graffiti.net
USERNAME: [email protected]
P/W: XXXXXX
all yes to outgoing secure authentification, and same ID for sending emails.
but no dice grandma, no emails and a message telling me that im not connected or have incorrect account settings.
My internet connection works fine 3G and GPRS, I use it all the time, I have tried to retrieve emails while synced and while roaming, still no luck.
Anything I'm being thick about, or is the POP3 mail facility in WM6 just really fickle and buggy?
Thanks in advance for all help
Pop3 is fine. I have never had any issues with it in WM2003, WM5 and WM6.
I don't know graffiti.net personally. but a quick look at their login page and the fact they have a link to "interaction with other devices" or something like that suggests that you need to enable it on their website.
(Yahoo email requires you to log in to the webmail client and enable pop3 forwarding and access before you can access your emails via outlook or on your device and I am going to guess that graffiti make you do something similar)
Here in the states on AT&T I have to use the AT&T smtp mail server for sending email, but getting my POP3 email works fine. have you ever had your graffiti pop3 account working somewhere else?
i currently have a the mlign hero rom and i dont know if the email on that rom is actually push since it takes about 5mins is there any email app that sends the email to the phone as soon as somebody sends it i know gmail does but i dont like to use gmail.
anyone know
Try K9 Mail. It supports the IMAP Idle extension, assuming you can connect to an IMAP server.
What kind of email account is it?
its a hotmail account
I don't believe Hotmail supports IMAP.
If you're in the market for a new email address, try tunome.com It's an AOL site for free email with hundreds of domain names to choose from. I know they support IMAP also for free.
Having read a few posts on the subject, it seems not many people have had luck getting this to work? Does anyone know of a method or an alternative mail app that's not the Yahoo Mail app as that's terrible.
Did you get yahoo mail plus? As i know just yahoo mail plus can do it.
Nope. Yahoo Mail basic. That said, I've managed to get it working using IMAP and using TLS instead of SSL. Only thing I gotta figure out now is how to turn off the syncing and how to get it push new messages instantly.
I am using cammster.com as one of my security applications at home. it sends me an email when it detects motion. However, I cannnot seem to find a friendly app that will send am email immediately to my Sprint Hero.
What free email program and app can I use that will send me an email when cammster sends it out, and notify me right away.
I have tried a google account (gmail), but it seems to want to check for emails at predefined intervals when using the main email client (that I also use for a work (exchange) email address).
I tried a yahoo (ymail) app and email addy, but it would conflict with my work email and stop the program from receiving the work or the ymail mail.
I quickly tried K9 app, but couldn't figure out how to use it with the yahoo mail to notify me immediately of the new email
Any suggestions?!?!?
The gmail client does push notifications. You should use the gmail client not the mail client for a google account (gmail).

Click to expand...

Are you on a Rom? Or are you on the stock sense rom? I am curious because sense is a bit more friendly with accounts and sync.. in the settings menu, there is actually a section called "Accounts & Sync". In there, you can enable background data and auto-sync. It will probably not be instantaneous, but honestly, your battery would die immediately if your phone was constantly checking your email. I suggest WildHeroc as it is currently the bomb digity. Have a good night.
Heyho,
i'm searching for an email app wich allows me to check my mails i sent from Thunderbird on Win7 when im not at home. Normally on my android device it works properly with K9 and imap on both programs, but on my Win7 device it didn't.
Ja i set everything to imap, maybe interesting it's an gmx adress. And normally they want to be paid for imap, but it works also if u enter smtp... yourself.

hi max
The only thing i've managed to get working is gmail.
I have gmail check my 3 pop email accounts ( all seperate mail servers)
On WP7.5 under gmail account i can find each folder ( i have set up in Gmail to keep the 3 inboxes seperate) and pin the inbox to the home screen.
On the home screen i can see when and how many mails are in each mail box
I like gmail as it means even if i loose my phone or whatever, i can always check all my mail on one webmail account
Works great
gmail, yahoo, hotmail all work perfectly fine in wp7.
I set up an IMAP server we use at work, without any problems.
Do you get an error message?
