I think your right but I hope your wrong. The old version 1.X of yahoo go worked great with your mail in outlook. does yahoo allow you to forward your mail? Looks like I am getting a hotmail account.

I searched for a way to do this too. Unfortunately the only free options are:
1. YGo - kinda sucks, push doesn't work, and i don't even get mail manually for 1-4 hours (i tested)
2. get a [email protected]o.co.uk and you get pop3 access, but you get an ad mail every day (or week, can't remember) - seems best solution, but requires that you change your mail adress, unless you already have a .co.uk adress
3. get a IM application which tells you that you have mail (i don't remember which one does, i think i had two that did that) but you don't even get the title of the mail, nevermind the message.
After getting tired, i coughed up the 20$ / year about 2 hours ago, and pop3 works like a charm

any way to sync the calendar from yahoo like you could in the old version as well? if you pay does it allow you to do this?

i don't know, but i don't think so. they say for 20$ you get POP3, forwarding (goood), 20M per message (instead of 10) and some filters... check the website

Maybe its different in some regions, but in UK, as long as you go into the yahoo mail web interface, click on options and select pop forwarding, you can then use either imap or pop/smpt to access your mail on wm devices.
I use my yahoo mail on my device fine.

i already said that yahoo.co.uk is different

dang, I am more interested in the calendar than the email, cause i can use the web interface if I need the mail but I like yahoo syncing with my calendar

i think you can "export"your calendar to outlook, from the web page, in options. try that

Browser and Email

Using K-9 currently for POP3 email and i dont care much for it nor do I like the stock email program. Can anyone suggest any others?
Also, I am not liking the stock web browser...any recommendations?

for browsers, you can try Loccy's BetterBrowser, Opera Mini, or Steel

Do you use/like GMail? Cos you could always put your POP3 info into GMail and read it from your GMail app.

I am basically looking for something that I can select multiple emails to delete and can create new folders easily.

Gmail uses labels /filters.
It takes a few minutes to understand but once you do it obliterates antiquated folder usage.
Id highly suggest sync your email via Gmail. You can have it send mail that looks as if it originates from your original mail account.
I wasnt crazy about it but now most emails come in are automatically labeled and filed without any work from my end.
New emails that need filing can be done easily. Deleting just as easy as anything else.
Plus Gmail has instant notification. No need to set up push or hourly checks.

Looks like the next CM update will be adding Luccys BetterBrowser enhancements. So I will use Steel until then....thanks.
I tried the gmail thing before. Looks like i will be giving it another go. Just sux that there isnt a good email app available.

[Q] Exchange Mail App

Hi friends
My workplace requires me to sync with their mail exchange server to get all my e-mail & calendars pushed. I've set it all up great on stock but my issue is when I am sent a new meeting request, I have no ability to accept or reject it on the phone. Any ideas on how I can resolve this? I'd prefer to stay on stock until I make sure my phone works fine before venturing into a custom ROM. I am not aware of there being any really good 2.2 ROMs specifically for the Captivate but when I am ready, I just want 2.2 on a simple ROM similar to stock without the bloatware. Any help is greatly appreciated.

no need to use a custom rom to make your mail usable.
i use an app called touchdown on my phone. it is the most complete mail client i have found so far. only downside is that it costs $20. well worth it if you need nearly COMPLETE functionality out of your mail client
i hear good things about k-9 but i couldnt get it to connect to my exchange server so i gave up on it and went with touchdown

I am using the stock app and i am able to accept or reject invites in the email app. They have a calendar icon and i scroll down and hit accept. An email reply pops up and i hit send.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

alphadog some reason it doesn't allow me to..just shows a blank e-mail. Can you also create meeting requests and send them to colleagues?

this wasnt working for me when i first got my phone. i just tried it again and it works now....an update or something i did? i dont know, its weird, because just after i got my phone, i was testing it out with some guys at work....
i still find touchdown to be better when it comes to actually reading the emails. full html email support is nice and looks more professional. the stock email client looks like a hack job when it breaks lines mid-word.

I can accept meetings on my phone, but when I go to my calendar and try to create new meetings and add participants, it does not send the invites... Any ideas?

Gingervolt email notification

I'm sorry I'm a noob, but I've searched and read a lot and I don't seem to see anyone with this exact issue....
I have a few email accounts. Before I flashed to gingervolt, I had messages from both accounts accessible in the same list and notifications worked for both. Now, I must choose which account I would like to access at a time.
I really can't find any settings to adjust this on the phone. Does anyone have a clue what may be wrong or is this just the way Gingervolt behaves?
Thanks.

If I'm the same as you you mean 2 accounts in Gmail. You will get notifications for both but you have to view each account seperately. I've never seen it any other way.

Sorry, I know I wasn't very clear. I've got a gmail account and then another non-gmail account that I get via POP/SMTP. It seems I only get notified for the account marked as primary and I have no way to change the frequency with which it pulls from the POP server... I believe it's set to around 30 mins, but I can't find a way to change that at all.
Does anyone know how to (using GingerVolt):
1. Change the polling frequency of a POP account?
2. Set the notification to work for both gmail and another account, regardless of which is primary?
Thanks!

Ok... So, I think K-9 mail is going to give me more frequent polling. Still testing....

Glad you're getting it figured out

I thought the stock email client did this... Not the gmail client but the AOSP email client which allows 1 centralized box. You can also specify how often it goes and checks for new mail.

Which is exactly why I posted... I thought those capabilities would be in the mail client after flashing to Gingervolt.
K-9 still seems to be working well enough for me.

Ok... I have figured out the proper imap settings so the sync time is no longer an issue like it was with POP, but I am sticking with K-9. It is really well done. The ability to set the notification quiet time and a unified inbox are worth it alone.

[Q] IMAP Push email on Mail app ?

Is there is no support for PUSH email through IMAP on the stock mail app ? I've been using K9 and while K9 works great, the UI on the mail app looks more pleasing and easier to navigate than K9. I'd like to migrate my work email to it, but only if I can get push.
I'm leaning towards its not possible through IMAP because I couldn't find anything while in the settings, but it's worth a shot to ask.
Anyone know ?

The stock HTC mail app has always supported this, so I'd be very surprised if anything has changed. Sounds like you already have the IMAP setup within your e-mail account, so you just add a new account and choose "Other (POP3/IMAP)" from the options and enter your particulars. Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync is also supported.

Doesnt work. On K9 it works flawlessly. With the mail app it doesnt.
The ONLY thing it could be, is my understanding of what SmarySync does. I've tried varies combinations of peak and off peak. But there is no push option. Its either smart sync, or some interval (every 5mins, 30mins, 1h etc..). With smart sync enabledd, it takes minimum 5 mins before I get a notification that I have an email. lol...thats the most laziest 'push' ive ever seen if that is what htc is calling push email. lol
Anyone get a non Google and non Microsoft Exchange email account added with working push ?

bump

I'm not entirely sure if this has changed but it used to be that POP and IMAP were client-based protocols meaning that the client initiates the act of message retrieval and the server sends messages as they're requested. Push requires a server initiated connection or at least would have to have a way to ping the client to make sure it's still available. Hopefully someone who knows more will chime in to confirm this or correct me where I'm wrong...

Far as I know, push doesn't work with the stock mail app. Smartsync just extends the sync interval when you don't use the mail app for a while.
