I'm having a problem connecting my phone to the stock email client. Does anyone have an idea on how to get yahoo to connect.

I am 99% certain you need to pay for it by upgrading your yahoo account.

Open email, type in user name and password, click manual setup, click imap, type in imap.mail.yahoo.com, leave port same, click next, type in smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com, click next... that should get you going, it worked for me!

I don't think you have to pay to do IMAP connect - only if you want POP3. For me Yahoo worked even with auto settings. Only thing is, I have not been able to get it to push email. I have to set it to check regularly.

I had it set up before I started using cognition but more it won't let me. It keeps saying wrong user name or password and I know their both right

Yahoo is free for pop3 email but you have to pay for imap (push email) the same reason I gave it up and never suggest yahoo to anyone. Dont believe me check THIS out

[app] hotmail?

Anyone found an APP that will work with Hotmail with a Captivate? Stock, tablet and even K-9 don't support it. There must be a decent one out there! Thanks!

I just forward my live account to my gmail.

Stock email app works like a charm with hotmail. I got 2 accounts configured under it and my local provider email also. Never had issues getting hotmail.
If you want to fully managed your hotmail (delete mails on server) then your right default email app on the cappy cannot do it but it can fetch the mail.
EDIT: Tried delete on the server option and it works. Fluke bug probably.

Do a Google search on "Hotmail activesync android" and you should be on your way use stock email to do push Hotmail. server deletion is supported last time I checked.

Correct .. last time i tried it failed miserably.. maybe just a bug or a bad connection.

Haven't tried it personally, but I do use Maildroid for gmail,Yahoo, and my ISP email. All set to push, even free Yahoo.

I used the exchange server for hotmail on my Captivate, worked fine with the stock email. Set it up as exchange, using m.hotmail.com as the server. Your username is your full email address. I don't have a Captivate anymore so I don't know if you need anything else (like port numbers). Google should give you the rest.
Also, if you set it up as exchange you can choose to sync your contacts and calendar with hotmail.

[Q] Mail and secure (SSL) SMTP and POP3 connections

I cannot configure an email account using the stock "mail program" when both the incoming (POP3) and outgoing (SMTP) servers are SSL secure.
Does anyone else experience the same problem?
Thank you.

If you have a yahoo email address set it up like this
Incoming
Email
Password
Imap.mail.yahoo.com
Ssl
993
Outgoing
Email
Password
Stmp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
Ssl
465

Thank you for your detailed response. However, mine is a corporate email server. The problem could be with its SSL certificate.

Is it an exchange server? If it is make sure you use the exchange active sync option instead of the mail one when adding your account. Mine uses SSL with no problems whatsoever.
Oops, just saw you said it was pop3. Nevermind.

No, it's not an Exchange server.
I've tried various mail APPs:
1. K-9 Mail fails with a Java exception.
2. stock mail goes into an indefinite loop upon the POP3 and SMTP SSL setup.
3. Enhanced mail works fine.
4. MailDroid works fine -- I've decided to go with the MailDroid APP after these past few days.
Thank you jayv81 and pside15 for responding.

Mail app issue !!

Hi
mail app in BS is not REALLY working " i mean when i choose emails and deleted it' it is showed to be deleted but on computer i can see all messages not deleted "

thanks

Lots of possible reasons for this. You need to set a setting for an email client to delete from server as well when you hit delete on the client. That or your email was already downloaded to your computer client via pop3 which makes it a separate copy from the server.

It usually happens when you've configured your mail with pop3 protocol. Try to reconfigure it to work with imap or just use ano

thanks .. but i can't change the server to imap , it gives me can't to connect to the server !!

Your server must support the imap protocol. What email server software is it?

hotmail & outlook

Yeah those two are known for not letting you use imap. The problem isn't with the phone or the mail app. The issue is with the protocol. It's just how it works.

[Q] Cannot add school email to Email App

Hello everyone,
I just got this phone yesterday and I tried to add my school email through the email app but it keeps saying authentication failed.
I added 3 of my other email accounts to this email app and they all went through. Only my school email address is having this problem. Can someone please help me out?

i'm not too knowledgeable on this, but i did have to set up my uncle's email addresses on an Android phone. i was having problems until i contacted his web host and found out the correct incoming and outgoing server ports..... then when i went thru the manual setup in the email app, it worked out.

I tried to search on my school website for the instruction on how to setup their email on another email client and it has all the incoming and outgoing info but when I tried to do it manually on the phone it still doesn't work. However, there is a note in the instruction that says that I have to use gmail app on the android device. I also use the gmail app to set up this email account and it works but it doesn't work with the regular email account. The thing is i want all my email accounts to be in one place and not having to use different apps for each account. If anyone have similar problems and find a way to solve this please help me out thanks.

hopefully someone can help you more. i don't know if this applies to you but my uncle's web host told me that some internet providers block the default outgoing port 25, so he suggested i use 8889, and that worked. good luck getting it working..

Sounds more like a "we want to force Android users to use the Gmail app" situation than a problem. Do you go to BOFH U? (Google bofh if you're not familiar with the breed.)

Before I switched to this phone I was using an Iphone 5 and it didn't have a problem with adding this email account.
I wonder what causes the regular email app on this phone to keep having the authentication failed message.

You won't be able to use it with the stock "email" app because of the way your schools exchange server works. You will have to get another email client that supports all of your email addresses. Try K-9 mail it's open source and works really well.
