Hello,
Anyone any idea what is wrong?
I just got my Diamond.
I use vodafone.
and i think i have everything set up correct.
i can go on the internet, watch youtube, see the weather.
Butttt.. when i try to send/recieve my email from gmail, it say that it cant connect with the current connection settings.
What could i be doing wrong?
i use IMAP and checked the settings on the gmail help site.
Thank you..
don't use IMAP.I set it up by just giving my gmail account user name and password and it receives the emails from my gmail inbox

It depends on whether you've activated IMAP in your Gmail and you should not let the phone auto detect your email settings- do it manually.
One other cause may be a proxy on your connection. When I first ran the auto operator setup, my POP3 email didnt work until I removed the proxy (still don't understand why)

It's best if you delete the account and then create a new one. When you create a new account, the first screen asks for your email address and password and then the second screen asks you if it should try and detect the settings automatically. THAT's where you need to uncheck it so you can enter your settings in manually on the following page.

Thats what i thought..
problem is..... the option is not presented...
it says:
Settings are found for gmail.com
press next to complete the set up and to download email.
but there is no box to check or uncheck
Problem fixed!!!
I was looking for the proxy like mentiond above...
I disabled it.
Now it works!!!
Thanks for the help guys!

You're right
I just tried to add a Gmail account and the same thing happened...
Glad the proxy thing helped. It drove me nuts in the beginning.

if your want to use gmail imap, you have to enter an incorrect email address first ([email protected]) and then edit it after, also I recommend using http://www.mobipush.com/ (push email) set to download your emails every 10-15 mins, you will get incredible battery life

Not true., it sets up as IMAP automatically.
And turn off vodafone proxy, and after setting up account, go to accountsettings again, and at last page under keyboard is 'advanced options', be sure it shows the right connection to be used !!
Downloading schedule can be set up in outlook mobile, and turn off push
So, prior to rooting I was able to get my yahoo account setup using the email app. Since, it constantly states my ID or password are incorrect, which they are not.
Did I miss something - does this not work with my changes? Is there a setting i need to change on Yahoo to allow the G1 to connect? Just not sure what changed....
Same here.. on cyanogen rom too.. and same with my dads phone and a friends.. Im wondering if its rom specific or what?
1. From the Home screen, tap the Application tab.
2. Tap Email.
3. Tap Next.
4. Enter the e-mail address and password.
5. Tap Manual Setup.
6. Tap OK when the 'Free Yahoo! Mail accounts only work over T-Mobile wireless networks. Yahoo! Mail Plus users should configure POP settings manually.' message appears.
7. Tap IMAP account.
#
1. From Incoming server settings, set the following:
2. IMAP Server field: imap.mail.yahoo.com
* Port: 143 (by default)
* Security type: TLS (if available)
1.
Scroll down and select Next.
* The device searches for incoming server information.
#
1. From Outgoing server settings, set the following:
2. SMTP Server field: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
* Port: 25
* Security type: TLS (if available)
1.
Scroll down and select Next.
* The device searches for outgoing server information.
2. Note that account options display and allow you to select how often to check for e-mail, set notifications, and check default setting account.
3. Enter the account a name.
4. Tap Done.

No problem at all, see I can answer some questions without being a smart @ss.
haha, yeah... going back and reading some of your other posts (and should I know as much as you), I'd probably be more of an a$$ than you. Thanks for the help man.

Make sure you use 3g or 2g connection when setting up yahoo mail. Wont work using wifi until after setup using just phones connection.
Ever have one of those "Duh" moments?

I have just rooted my phone to Gingerbread, and I just LOVE it. I was able to set up the gmail accounts easily, so I have two separate gmail "labels" on my phone, each one for a different gmail account. I still cannot get the message count to show up on my notification bar, however, but that's not the reason for this post.
I am trying to do the same thing for my yahoo accounts (I have two of them). Yes, I can download the yahoo widget/app and that puts yahoo pretty much live on my phone - but I'm not looking for that. I'm looking for the shortcuts, like Gmail, so I can click on them and it takes me to a brief list of emails etc. I don't want to have full access to yahoo on my phone, but just the shortcuts.
When I try to set it up, this is what I do:
1) put a shortcut to the Email icon on my screen and name it.
2) When I try to configure it, I put my yahoo user name (xxx at yahoo.com) in and password
3) the message that comes up is "Mailbox access is not supported for some times of yahoo mail accounts" etc. I click on OK
4) it tells me setup could not finish as there is an incorrect username or password. I am 10000% certain I enter the correct name and password.
5) if I try a different yahoo email account, I get the same error message, plus (530 Access Denied: need SMTP privileges to access this server).
I used to have yahoo email shortcuts on my phone before I rooted - and they were great. I had two icons, and the message count showed up in my notification bar. When I rooted first (to I guess AOSP 9.9.2, before gingerbread), I could get the yahoo mail icons to work, no problem. I was not able to add an account in the "accounts and sync" - that only offers me "google" or "corporate" (which I guess is exchange). It's only with gingerbread i am having this problem.
I am VERY basic when it comes to using the phone, so if anyone responds, please pretend I'm about four years old, so please explain in basic language what I need to do. Anything complicated, and I might not follow (sorry). Still a newbie.
Thank you everyone.
This has been a problem for me on some roms too. Including aospCMod, some will let you set up a yahoo account and others will not. I first noticed this when I switched from cm6 to aospmod awhile back. Cm6 would let me sign in to a yahoo account but aosp would not. Then about 2 updates later on aospmod, I could all of a sudden sign in.
So this leads me to believe its an internal setting that the dev can modify to fix this. What it is idk, and when it'll come for or gingerbread roms idk, but take comfort in knowing your not the only one who has come across this.
Its kind of weird really, hopefully someone else knows why this happens out how to fix it.

Try using K9 mail, it is free in the market and much better than Yahoo mail app. I am sure you will be able to get emails and such, but not sure how much it will help with the other widget type problems.

Are you setting up manually or automatically. I've always had better luck setting up manually. If so you have to make servers say:
Smtp.mail.yahoo.com
IMAP..mail.yahoo.com

Finally - this worked doing it manually with these settings! Thanks!!
Unbelievable!!! Yes! It worked!
thank you thank you thank you THANK YOU!!!!!
did this manually and it worked like a charm! Thank you - hope it's OK if I go and post this on the android forum - a few people are having the same issues there. THANK YOU!
I tried this manually and it didn't work. Said it couldn't conner to the server.
Does the port need to be changed?
I must be doing something wrong if others are getting it to work.
edit: it tells me unable to open connection to server

My port says 143 but turn security is off if I remember. I will check when I get home from the second job.

Make sure you make it an imap account, security set to none, port should change to 143. If that doesn't get it let me know. Try auto setup too. I just deleted mine and started over and it took that way.

Just bear in mind I'm not on GB. Tried it and don't care for it. Sense has everything I need with half the apps to dl so it could be the build you're running.

Yahoo doesn't work any more :-(
Strange. yesterday, I set it up and it worked like a charm - IMAP and smtp, changed the server settings (did it all manually) - worked very well yesterday and today was working just fine. Hadn't checked my emails for a few hours though - just tried - and it tells now incorrect user name or password. I deleted it and tried to add the yahoo account again - first it tells me unable to open connection to server. Tried again (making sure all settings were correct) and it just says incorrect username or password.
Under IMAP server I have imap.mail.yahoo.com, port 143, security type none - exactly like I had it yesterday and this morning, and it doesn't work. incorrect username or password.
I haven't changed a THING with my phone - not a single thing - or downloaded any new apps - so I'm mystified. Thoughts anyone?
Thank you

Thanks again to xda developers (a different thread) - this is the set up if you want a link to your yahoo mail on your phone: The previous one stopped working - here is the resolution. THANK YOU EVERYONE.

This method is no longer working... says "setup could not finish, Username or password incorrect. ()"
Edit, found out the port changed...
# Incoming Server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
# Outgoing Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
# Incoming Port - 993 (requires SSL)
# Outgoing Port - 465 (requires SSL)

I was just gonna say the same thing.
I finally got mine working when I saw this post in the gingerbread thread also.
Sorry. Like I said, my phone doesn't like GB so I didn't realize it used different ports. This setup works on froyo and stock.

Hi All, Please if anyone else has problems adding an email account using the MS Exchange option in the stock Email app can you share a solution. I get prompted to add an Administrator access before the app searches for the server and it then always fails. The admin never shows up in settings security. I tried this for 3 Exchange servers, same issue.
Thanks...

I had the same problem, found it is due to it doesn`t prompt to set password. Go to setting and set the phone password before setup exchange account, then it will Work.

May be I have the same problem. If I want to setup an exchange account in Stock-Mail-App, there should be a dialog, in which I have to accept the creation of a "device admin" (i´m german, I hope thats the correct translation). But this dialog never appears anymore. At first time, the dialog was there and I could create my account. But later on, there is no entry visible in "Device Admins" for Stock-Mail and after a Restore of a Nandroid-Backup, I couldn´t create the exchange Account anymore, cause the dialog doesn´t appear.
So, may be ur solution could help me. But what do u mean with "phone password", where to set. Did u mean lock screen password or what else? Please give advice, where to set "phone password". Thanks in advance!
Yes, I mean the lock screen password.
On Samsung S2, after aceept the security setting of the Exchange server, it prompt to set the lock screen password, but doesn't seems to be happen on LG, so I go and set it manually and it works.
