No offense, but it sounds as if you are either entering the account info incorrectly or you don't have a data connection. If this you are sure these two things are correct, I would try downloading a different (free) email app and try again just to rule that out.

What happens if you try to enter the same info on a new mail app on your computer, such as Thunderbird?
If you are getting a message that says that you cannot connect to the mail server, perhaps you are spelling the name of the mail server incorrectly, or you are not specifying the correct port number? Or you are entering the user name incorrectly (some servers require that you enter the user id part of the email address, some require the full email address as the user name).

Unrevoked 3 Rooting Issues with my Droid Incredible.
I know it says to not post problems here but I am in desperate need of a solution...please help.
The company I work for uses Microsoft Exchange Server for our Email Service and before I rooted my Droid Incredible I was able to use the Exchange Activesync service on my phone to sync with my work's email without a problem.
Now that I rooted my phone I receive an error telling me I am unable to connect to the exchange server. I have already attempted to use "K-9 Email Client" and "Lockpicker" to see if I could connect. No luck... I believe the issue is with a missing certificate but I am not sure. I have already contacted my IT Department at my work which ended up being useless cause they are unaware of how to locate the certificate for our email service.
Anyways if anyone could shed some light on this please do...Thank you!
Also Facebook does not sync contacts, the live feed works fine.
I don't really mind this cause I'm using "FB Sync" to get my friends pictures but I do miss having all of Facebook contacts shown in my Contacts List.

[Q] Help with Yahoo email please?

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

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.

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.

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

No. It's push or off - that's the only choice you have.
Use the stock Email/Mail application if you want more control, rather than Gmail.

Turn off auto-sync and background data under accounts and settins. In Froyo and other mods, turn of data which will still allow you to receive calls and text messages but no ip stuff.
Gmail deletion on you phone and laptop will be delayed based on your connections. Usually within 5 minutes your phone and laptop should reflect each other.

No mate i think your geting a little mixed up here, what is happening is that when i delete emails on my phone they still show up when i check my laptop (they show up as being read) what im wondering is why when i delete emails on my phone they don't just delete and i have to delete them when i go on my laptop, i wouldn't imagine it has anything to do with sync or the likes, is no one else having the same trouble?

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.

Thanks for taking ur time looking at the thread
I don't have an answer for you, but I'm going to do my best to make your question a little more coherent for anyone who comes along later.
As I understand it, you're trying to recover your hotmail password from your phone's email app, and you can't reset the password at hotmail's end because you forgot the answer to your secret question.
Is this correct?

yes fren... thanks for looking into it
I don't like your chances. If I were you I'd be trying alternative methods of getting your hotmail password reset.
MSN had problems recently, I Had the same problem a few days ago. If you've tried to log on too many times while the servers were down, they lock the account for 24 hours. Leave it a day and try password reset again.

Good luck, I hope you resolve it.
