First and foremost, i searched the forum, and did not see a problem or solution similar to mine.
Now,...
I had gmail set up as with pop3 mail, it worked fine for about 6 months, currently i can send mail still with no problem, i cannot receive mail.
When it checks every 2 hours(personal setting) or when i try to check it manually, it goes through the steps correctly, but it says there is not changes (new mail), even if there is mail in my inbox,...
anyone had the same problem (i do not any other mail client, just want my gmail working the same way it had been before the problem)
Thanks in advance guys.
try using IMAP

So I want to check my yahoo email from my AT&T tilt, however according to AT&T there is NO way to do it unless I pay Yahoo $20/year for something. I had it all set up when I first got the Tilt a few days ago and it worked intermitt for a while, but quit last night. After calling tech support they wanted me use xpress mail, but that does not get all the folder info from yahoo.
So, per tech I deleted the accounts, hard reset (I soft reset at the bloatware load) and now I need to install a new email account to check yahoo. After doing so, I get an error that says to check my user name and password...but I know they are correct. I did not get this error before, just got intermit email retrieval.
Is there a chance that when talking to tech they notified yahoo or flipped a switch or something so that there is no way I can do this now.
OR is there a way to check my Yahoo email without using xpress mail...OR by using xpress mail and being able to see all the folders I have in yahoo?
Thanks much...I tried the wiki and the search but did not find any info...although I am sure someone will point me to the solution right away.
outlook on your device should auto detect settings for yahoo, mine works fine and i'm not payin yahoo a cent for access
It does auto detect the pop stuff when I am setting up the email account, however I still get the "check password and user name" error.
i have no problems here...are you sure your putting in the right passworkd username?? lol iot happens to me also
Yahoo used to have a great add on app similar to windows live for hotmail but they put out a new one that blows and didn't allow you to sync your mail with outlook. Thats why I switched to hotmail. Plus i love being able to sync my contacts with my hotmail account.
there's another alternative,one of these threads shows how to direct all mail to a server and just set outlook to that to get everything you need from it
Well...to make me even more mad...I leave the house, go for a drive with the same "bad user name and password" and all of a sudden...BLING...I have mail! So I guess I have the right user name and password. WTF man? I just do not get it...and of course the knuckleheads at AT&T don't get it either. At least I have a non-bloatware phone now...stock ROM though.
Appreciate the help and continued comments.
stock rom shouldnt have to do with it but then again anything is possible these days.i never came across that issue with my old tornado,my 8125,hermes or my kaiser
At this point it still working, but I have little faith that it will continue as such.
Still reloading all my cabs after the reset...forgot I already put that much in this thing...might need to rethink it some. I will flash this sucker sometime soon...still have 20 days to return it if I am not happy.
Thanks again,
Well...that did not last long...it is back at it. Again with the "check your login and password" error. So, could there be a connection issue... ie. do I have to be in 3G to get email? I am on the edge of 3G coverage here.
I just do not get it.
since you get service on and off like that, it may be a different issue. being on 3g or not doesnt affect it, only affect the speed of your transfers.
at this point i dont get it either, maybe it's somethign wrong on Yahoo's end. could be blocking access to their yahoo mail service, making you sign up for their paid service or using thier new app yahoo 2.0 soon to be 3.0
I can't believe someone still uses Yahoo mail when there's Gmail.. It just boggles my mind.
yea i use gmail and comcast mail and have everything forwarded thats important to my gmail.i tend to use yahoo mail only for spam
Gmail has the best hands-down no-argument spam filter.
And charging people for POP3? Are you freaking ****ting me? What is this, 1980? How about charge them $1/email? Fraking ridiculous.
Well, I see you all don't like Yahoo...but that is what I use and I really like it...been using it for years. EVERYONE knows that email address and I I can't risk not having it for now.
But, this morning as I am talking AT&T about this thing...I explain that I have friends that get Yahoo mail...she says "it won't work, there is no way to do it"...then I tell her there is a forum where I posted this question and she says "look sir I do this for a living and I can assure you it will NOT work"...right then I get Yahoo mail on my phone. I tell her, "you might want to think about your line of work a little, or even switch careers and be a coffee jockey somewhere...cuz I JUST GOT YAHOO MAIL ON MY PHONE!!!".
Needless to say she was speechless for like 2 minutes. Then I concluded the call.
For most of today...while not in a 3G area...I got emails. I still don't get it.
I will look into the Gmail thing, however I just can't afford to not have my Yahoo account right now. Years ago I looked at Gmail and it was a joke...this was like 8 years ago or something...so I am sure it is greatly improved.
Thanks again for the help,
I get the same issue listed above, was there ever a fix for this. I've tried everything listed in the thread. I can't drop my Yahoo because I have way to many personal and business contacts linked to this e-mail. I just can't figure out why it is giving me password errors, any advice?

Was using yahoo and hotmail for the longest time too so I understand your reluctance to switch, AFAIK you can set most these web mail services to forward mail to another address and also have a "reply to:" feature this will make it easier for you to migrate to a new address if ever you do decide to do so. I migrated to Gmail a few years back because they had free POP forwarding. Now that I don't have a PC at home I use my device for all my email. Currently I have 5 email accounts on my tytn2.
3 Gmail = 1 for personal , 1 for forums i join, 1 for mobile , 1 Live Hotmail = the occasional straggler emails, and 1 Yahoo = the occasional straggler emails.
Oh and I don't use POP anymore all of the above are IMAP [Gmail also has free IMAP forwarding]
Yahoo does not provide POP3 email forwarding unless you pay $20 a year for "MAIL PLUS"

you can get your email here

on your browser
I got yahoo mail though the AT&T application XpressMail, it worked all the time and you can schedule it to check your email at an interval, its free i havent been charged whatsoever unless its because i use it through wifi. the great thing is it integrates with mobile outlook, i would advise installing that at least so your yahoo problems are solved
Yahoo Go
I used this one and it worked out well, Yahoo Go 2.0. I can't find the download link as i'm in a rush out the door. But this manages your yahoo mail rather well and has other nice features. When I get the my study spot I'll try to find the link and post it.
Hi guys,
Hopefully someone can help me with this problem. I don't know if anyone else has been experiencing thing but I've tried searching through the forums and i think I'm the only one.
I'm using JF3 and i think it's stock but I'm not sure. Anyways, I have three email accounts setup on my phone. There is a Live account, Gmail account, and my university account.
For some reason, every few days all the account disappears and I'd have to add them back onto my phone. I think this has happened three times where I went to check my email and it would tell me to add an account. That's the first problem.
The second problem is when I write an email to someone and send it... it would send that email AND it would forward emails from months ago as well.. so the recipient would receive an email I sent to someone else from like a year ago.
Does that make sense?
If anyone could help it would be appreciated.
I have no idea why, but my phone won't include my reply in exchange emails. It just looks like I sent the original email back to the person. I searched all over and couldn't find any real answers. My phone has been fine for a while, this is a recent issue within the last week. Does anyone have some ideas on a solution?
Which email client are you using? I have only had luck with K9 mail for exchange servers.
Sent from my Cappy
Native client.
We have about 6-7 of these as company phones. This is the only time we have had this issue.
Hi,
When I delete a mail in the stock mail app, it is delivered again from my ISP a few minutes later.
Anyone knows about some "secret" settings, I can't find any in the app that solve this problem.
Or recommend another app?
Thanks in advance!
Ruben
I'm having the same problem.
Changed from IMAP to POP just to solve the problem for now.
Sadly not the solution but i works better now.
setup email with exchange server active sync, b'coz pop i think not provide push service, you hav to set check mail frequency.
Dsable auto sync off in acc
Go to Email - entre gmail credential - select manual setup - select exchange active sync - keep user ID n PW as it is n add m.google.com in server field, finish setup with rest of as per your desire
dr.ketan, I don't think exchange activesync is an option here, it's not gmail.
I'm having the same issue. I think it sometimes (rarely) works. What's worse, is that it marks the mail read. I did not have this issue with the mail app on my htc desire hd.
There are various bugs open at code.google.com (I can't link as I'm new), but the comments are a huge mess and I didn't ever figure it out. I tried K9 mail briefly but wasn't very impressed either. Let us know if you can get this fixed
Another gud push mail is seven, now a days disappeared from market. But earlier i hav attached smwhr in xda, search seven 7.54 really it was nice.
my old streak 2.2.2 with stock email app use to do this. Not a clue why.
Sometimes I would get the same email 3-4 times in a row. Maybe it is something to do with Android itself?
Many thanks for your reply!
I'm glad?, that it not was just me, because I spent a lot of time to find an answer. It works fine on my old Desire.
Ruben
Same for me it worked perfectly on tho HTC Desire but not on the Galaxy Note. Quite strange I think.
