yahoo email setup - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone I keep getting an error when setting up my yahoo email account with the stock email client.
-i manually choose IMAP and configure my settings to imap.mail.yahoo.com
and leave everything else as is but i still get username and password is incorrect! I have checked my username and password how many times and still not correct!!
has any one got this going for the galaxy s phones?

I haven't had any trouble setting up Yahoo Mail. I've tried stock email, K-9, and the Yahoo Mail app.
Have you tried doing it with automatic settings?

yea i tried using the stock automatic settings but still no go....
i just updated to att 2.2 firmware. mines not rooted.

Strange. For my incoming server, I've got the same IMAP as you, Security Type SSL (if available), Authentication type Plain, Port 993
Also, for Username, I just have my prefix without the @yahoo.com part
All I can think of otherwise is try the Yahoo Mail client or K-9 and see if those work.

yay the incoming works because my settings were a little different with yours i had to change the port number..
-now can you help me with the outgoing settings? thank you!!!!

Cool - glad it works! For outgoing I have these:
SMTP server: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
Security: None
Port: 25
Require sign-in (checked)
Authentication: Plain
Username: again, just the prefix

AOL mail settings

Hi
I am trying to configure an Alpine to download AOL mail.
I have used the following settings:-
Incoming:IMAP.aol.com
Outgoing:SMTP.aol.com
Username and passoword is correct.
I recieve the error:
Unable to connect to the incoming mail server.
Has anyone else managed to get their AOL webmail onto the Alpine?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Does AOL offer POP3 mail downloads? You mention its webmail, which doesn't necessarily mean it has an SMTP and POP3 server available.
aol mail working
I've had aol mail working on my spv1500 for a while now my settings are
username: Your email without the @aol.com
password: your password
account type: imap4
Name: AOL
incoming server: imap.aol.com
outgoing server: smtp.aol.com:587
under options on page 2 check outgoing mail requires authentication
These settings work for me but I only use wireless connection
Many thanks
It worked.

Email Setup Help

I am going absolutely mental here. Im trying to set up my Diamond so that i can retreve my mail but it wont allow me to it keeps popping up with an error. i think it has something to do with the port numbers i do not know how to change them. i've set up my other mail accounts theyre ok but its just this one. Details are below
can someone please help me???
Mail Server Username: xxxxxxxx.com
Incoming Mail Server: mail.xxxxx.com
Incoming Mail Server: (SSL) hp1x.xxx.com
Outgoing Mail Server: mail.xx.com (server requires authentication) port 587
Outgoing Mail Server: (SSL) hp1x.xx.com (server requires authentication) port 465
Supported Incoming Mail Protocols: POP3, POP3S (SSL/TLS), IMAP, IMAPS (SSL/TLS)
Supported Outgoing Mail Protocols: SMTP, SMTPS (SSL/TLS)
also is there any software tweak app. that will tuen off my Internet connection if not used for 5 mins
Advanced Config gives you the option to drop your internet connection for x minutes. I was using it but it seems to disable data connection when in standby so auto retrieval seems to stop working, does for me anyway but I'm still testing.
thanks, but its no good to me if i cant access my email. Thanks for your post
Took me a little while before I figured out how to change the portnumbers as well. Here is what you do:
When you type in your server, you add a colon at the end followed by the port number.
For example: mail.xxx.com:425
Hope that helps!

Probelms sending Yahoo Mail

I can recieve Yahoo email, but I can't send mail from the yahoo account. The phone set up it's own settings. Here they are
Incoming Mail Server
imap.mail.yahoo.com
Account Type
IMAP4
User name
MY EMAIL ACCOUNT
Password
Way longer than it should be (I keep fixing it, but there are about 20 characters showing, when my password is only 11 characters)
Outgoing (SMTP) mail server:
smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
I dont have
"OUtgoing server requires authentication" checked. It was but I tried unchecking it to see if that would help and it didn't.
I do have
"Use the same username and password for sending email" checked
I have it set to send/recieve email every 5 minutes.

I have an ATT Tilt with the new 6.1 software. I haven't done any modifications only because I dont know how to.
Anyone? Now my gmail isn't letting me send mail!
Try this, Delete all your e-mail settings and start from scratch. See if it works
I have done that---lets hope that works.
Hi:
If you still have problems, try this. Do you have "Getting Started" in programs. If you select that, then choose to setup e-mail. All you have to do is enter your e-mail address, and password, and allow it to use automatic setting. I didn't even have to enter any settings, and it worked perfectly for me.
Hope this helps.

Also, did you check the Advanced Settings for your setup? Mine has "Require SSL for Incoming e-mail" and "Require SSL for Outgoing e-mail" unchecked. I am able to send/receive via Yahoo! without problems. Definitely follow everyones advice and start from scratch.
I had the annoying issue of not being able to send, only being able to receive mail.
This was with Gmail.
I tried all the 'solutions' on the Internet and even on Google's own support pages.
Strangely, I could use the POP3 service, but not IMAP.
The way I solved the issue was to delete all the settings on my Kaiser and then go into Gmail 'Forwarding and POP/IMAP' options and Disable IMAP access and click Save Changes.
Then I would go back into the options and reenable IMAP access.
Lo and behold, it worked.
Here is a supposed fix for SMTP issues, use at your own risk, I haven't had any problems so I haven't used the fix myself. http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index.php/2008/10/15/windows-mobile-smtp-fix

can't send email with my yahoo account

so i can receive emails but not be able to send them from my x1.
any idea?
it's yahoo.com acc
You will need to install the Windows Mobile 6.1 SMTP Send fix. Search for it in Microsoft Support downloads.
downloaded the cab and installed it; still no go, can't send emails but able to receive them.
can someone show me the way to configure the settings manually step by step?
Hi
I never needed to install any smtp fixed in order to have my X1 send yahoo mail... I am using yahoo.co.uk, my settings are:
incoming server: pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk
Outgoing server: smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk
username: [email protected]
password: your password (!)
Outgoing mail server requires auth: Ticked
Use same username/password: Ticked
Require SSL for incoming email: Ticked
Require SSL for outgoing email: Ticked
Additionally, I use the 'Contract Internet' profile, and I had to remove the proxy value to get it to work (I am on Voda UK).
Note: The auto setup which the unit tries to do after you enter your email address and hit next will NOT pre-fill the correct details. Do it manually... if it refuses to let you do it manually, enter the email addr wrong i.e [email protected], complete all the settings then go and correct the email address.
Additionally, check that your yahoo account is correctly configured to allow pop3/smtp access via the usual web interface.

now that's something I didn't know, looking for it now...
*edit* lol, how do I do that?
nap007... did it work for you because i am having the same problem... i installed the fix but still cant send email
Did you input a port for outgoing? Yahoo uses 865 I believe.
sfkn2, thank you for replying to me i have been going crazy for days about this i even went to my network provider and the place where i bought the phone and called sony ericsson but they couldnt find the reason and solution to this problem of mine... so thank you very much for replying to me
Where do i input the 865 port for outgoing?
here is my email set up:
email addres: [email protected]
name: jennifer dar
account display name: yahoo!
incoming mail server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
account type: IMAP4
username: jennifer_dar
password:*********
save passwork: CHECK MARK
outgoing (SMTP) mail server: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
outgoing server requires authentication: CHECK MARK
use the same username and password for sending email: CHECK MARK
Require SSL for incoming email: UNCHECKED
require SSL for outgoing email: UNCHECKED
Network connection: The Internet
where in the settings should i input the port for outgoing?
i also tried to nstall the official fix before... my yahoo acount name became yahoo POP... what happened was i could not send AND recieve emails so i uninstalled it. so im back to ABLE to receive but UNABLE to send emails
smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com:865
Try that and report back.
yahoo send
still unable to send.
I have the same problem I always thought yahoo changed some thing,
then i did some searches and found some patches. they did not work.
when i run the auto setup it tries to give me a pop3 account,
this does not work at all. I set it up for a imap account i can get email again but not send.
does the smtp server need to be (smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com or can it be
smtp.mail.yahoo.com
ok got it working needed to set some ports
imap.mail.yahoo.com:143
smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com:25
same problem here....
help.. can't send yahoo email....
I got it to work by using smtp.mail.yahoo.com
I have been having trouble for months trying to figure it out & it was a simple change.
Hope it works for everyone else.
i also cant get yahoo mail to send. i keep getting the notification that it ant be sent check your incoming settings. i tried ports 143 and 25 like you said above but still nothing

Yahoo email

I've searched here and elsewhere but I haven't been able to find a solution. I can't get Yahoo email to work. I go to add accounts and my account adds for a few seconds and then disappears. I add my account manually following the instructions posted in many places but I get error messages for the outgoing server 503 Access denied because the server is for mobile devices only.
Manual add followed these guidelines:
Mail type: IMAP
Incoming mail server
Incoming server: palm.imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 993
Encryption: SSL
Outgoing mail server
Outgoing server: palm.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Use Authentication: On
Port: 465
Encryption: SSL
I have deleted "Palm" in the outgoing sever address as suggested but that only gets rid of the error message and leaves me with no outgoing yahoo email.
Help!
Thanks
P.S. If there is a thread I missed, please send me in the right direction.
