The stock email app syncs Hotmail fine. Just input your email and password. It does the rest. If you want push then you can setup your Gmail account to retrieve your Hotmail and then have it pushed to the phone via the Gmail app.

I just use the app "Hotmail" which should be the first result in the market.
The only problem with any hotmail app so far is there's no text selection and copy/paste. I often track packages and I have to open dolphin browser and copy/paste my tracking number. (Dolphin has a great text selection method, similar to iphone with the magnifying glass).

Gmail App vs HTC email app

I have a question about the gmail app vs the preinstalled email app.
I know the official gmail app recieves gmail instantly when they come, but can i just unistall the gmail app itself, an use the gmail setting in the standard email app, an still get emails instantly?
The gmail app pushes notifications to your phone. The email app pulls them to your phone.
The benefits of push are 1.faster notifications 2.better battery life because google's servers are doing most of the work.
when i hade my iphone 4 non of the emails were push but i had my gmail setup as a microsoft exchange and changed some setting and i was getting my gmail pushed dont know if this is the same as htc mail app
Is it possible with gmail application to show the number of new unread email on the icon?

Yes it is if you download Gmail Unread Count from the Market.
Is there anyway to set this up to where gmail will push emails to the htc app rather than the stock gmail app? Id like to just use the htc email app instead of having my gmail sent to a seperate app.

Thanks! but upon reading the reviews, a lot of complaints about it draining the battery though.

You can add gmail as the mail provider but I don't think it will push though. You can setup when it should sync though.

I have my yahoo an hotmail setup that way, but my other 2 gmail accounts is through the gmail app. It would be nice to be able to remove the gmail app an have it push straight to the htc app though.
I know it is a late reply but i stumble on this one through google search, so maybe others are too.
Solution to get push mail in your htc mail app, is to add gmail account through exchange/active sync. Then you can set it to push as the refresh interval. You don't need the gmail-app anymore.

yahoo mail login problems, tried 4 different browsers

Its been over 2 months I cannot login to yhaoo mail using android mobile stock browser, I have tried firefox/opera/ dolphin hd browser they all have the same problem with yahoo mail.
The URL it goes to is http://mlogin.yahoo.com, I have tried changing the browser agent from android to desktop but that too does not help, where as i can longin from my desktop computer without any issues.
Rest all of other email services are working on mobile like hotmail/gmail/rediffmail etc.
I can only check yahoo mail with the yahoo app & I dont like it at all to use separate app for checking mail. I want dolphin hd my main browser for all the things.
Anyone else having such problem?
Any help regarding this problem, are you guys having no such problem with yahoo login?
I use the app because yahoo is so picky otherwise

Why don't you try application from yahoo for accessing the yahoo mail. I have configured my gmail to auto retrieve the yahoo mails. So I don't have to enter yahoo, its right thee in gmail inbox. Its my secondary mail id.

bcoz i hate those apps, each one for each email a/c I rather use dolphin hd browser for every thing (i dont want push mail feature) another reason is that I need to enlarge the font while reading & these email apps dont let you do it.
Dolphin hd works so smooth for almost everything but for some reason it seems yahoo is blocking me to login using the mobile browser.
i also having this problem..im using archos right now..does anyone manage to solve this?
Skyfire worked for me, when one of my friend wanted to check her yahoo mail last time. Try it if you want.

Stock email

I want to use the stock email app. But I am needing to reset the tab every now and then to get the emails to come through. It attempts to connect and nothing happens. If I then do a reset it will work normal again.I am using a hotmail account. Any solutions to this problem?without changing the app or email account. Anyone else have this issue?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App
Instead of resetting, go to accounts, sync, and click on the hotmail account to re-sync.
I checked this. Doesn't have hotmail listed in there.

i guess you can't do a sync with Hotmail .. yahoo anf Gmail only ..
Just forward your hotmail to a gmail account.

[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!

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.

What is the name of the stock email app, trying to get step by step instructions to this.
The stock app auto-configures Gmail as "push." I'm guessing it's IMAP behind the scenes and it only applies to e-mail, not tasks or the calendar.
Try this, it is working for me for Hotmail.com and Gmail.com accounts.
1- Went to Stock email app(looks like a white envelope with @ symbol in middle.
2- Created hotmail.com account(dont go through manual process of setting account) and selected "push" for sending emails to Note/Gear. Put your email address and password, follow the steps and you are done.
3- Create gmail.com account and do the same as step #2.
4- Go in your Note to Settings-General-Accounts. Select the Google account and hit enter, Uncheck box by Sync Gmail.
This is how I have it set up and Hotmail as well as gmail emails are coming into the Note and Gear.
Someone correct me if I am wrong.

I am getting proper notifications for Gmail account by pushing the mails to the stock Email app also.
It's working very nicely.
If you set up Gmail in the stock email app, can you still use the Gmail app to read and rely on the phone?
I like the Gmail app as it is seamless between phone and laptop in terms of marking as read, sorting into folders etc.

Yes you can still use the gmail app on the phone just fine.
my email notification is not working as well. tried wit imap and pop but it's not showing

You need to enable the pop3 support in the Gmail settings page first before adding the Gmail account to the stock Email app.

Can't get this working either, no notifications from stock email app with my 2 gmail accounts. Notifications are set for stock email and accounts seem to be pulling mail down so not sure why my gear isn't telling me I have mail

You need to use stock email app and when you get to a screen about server, there is a drp down option and select push. You need to also go in your ear app and in setting, there is a section for choosing which apps to send to Gear. Select stock email app, send yourself a test email and should work.
Ian B
That's exactly what I did, no notifications though

See post above me. Make sure you DO NOT choose MANUAL in the stock email app when setting the gmail account choose the option to the right of that for the system to do it all for you. In the next page I believe is where the drop down option at the top is to select PUSH.
If you like, send me a pm with your phone number and I can call you when you want. I think that will be easier than trying to go back and forth with emails.

Yes, in the PC browser, go to your Gmail page and then to Settings.
There you will see tab menus on the top. Choose Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.
Then, you will see the option to enable POP.
After that, you can just add an account in the stock email app to deliver Gmails with the option of "push" delivery automatically.

Weird as I did not have to touch my MAC to get the emails from Gmail to work with my Gear. All I did was set up the account in the stock email app, select the auto set up, select PUSH in the next setting screen and voila, emails coming to the Gear. I did have to go into the Gear app setting and check the email app to send notifications to the Gear.
All is well in my world and hope we can help one another get their emails and texts going.
Want to remind everyone that only the stock text and email apps are allowed to send info to the gear. If you are using something else, you may get the notification but, nothing else. You will then have to go into the phone to view the text or email.

I've had the same issue, no notification at all, i've tried everything, but now solved it.
Everytime i've sent e "test-mail", my phone (galaxy note 2) was not in sleeping mode. As i gave up trying, suddenly my Gear was pushing a new mail that came in.
So for me, it only works when the phone is not awake (what makes sense in my opinion). Hope that helps someone others problem too.
Good luck.

That makes sense to me. I don't want the notifications to clog up my watch if I am already looking at the phone.
That only wastes the battery life of the watch. Smart!
