Check Yahoo email on AT&T tilt.

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"
see this
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/manage/manage-69.html
you can get your email here
http://us.m.yahoo.com/
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.

This may be a good question.

I searched google couldn't find answer. How many email accounts can be setup on the Kaisers Messaging system. (not including Activesync, Xpress Mail) Just wondering because someone asked me the question today and I didn't know. The most I had was 2.

agree .. this is a good question. anyone know whats the max limit??

Probably more than the ammount of email accounts you currently have I don't think there is a set limit, it probably depends on how much space you have on the phone for downloading emails. I would wan't to go ahead and say infinity, or atleast more than you need

Yeah I was thinking there was a cap. I know that a blackberry can only have 11 accounts max. I'm not about to go and create dummy accts to find out just wanted to know. I get that question asked alot at my job and never have a difinitive answer. Anyone have anything over 4 email accts coming to their phone?

Well it does havce a Cap... can't remember exactly but I think it was 7 or 8...

Just came across this info on www.htcwiki.com . The Tilt can accomodate up to 6 email accounts. One Exchange and 5 POP3/IMAP4 accounts according to HTC. I remembered this thread and thought I would add.

Will check it out. My apologies. Back to the subject... My 2 cents view is that you would have to offer some kind of top-up to entice anybody to agree to swap Cleo for Athena.

Well I know for sure Gmail stands for google mail. But i am yet to see an account using googlemail in full. They are simply Gmail. That screen shot you added just adds more confusion to the mix. Have you noticed that there is no . (dot) after googlemail....... If ouare right should it not be [email protected] and not [email protected]

i never noticed dot before just seen it after taking pic
you can make the account by going to google search engine and clcking mail.
some one has agreed

I can vouch that googlemail.com as email in full exists as I have one but mine is very, very private . I only use it for family matters so I will not do a screen dump proving that it exists because it sucks to have to prove to people things that are just there! Outside the USA and the Americas one would get a googlemail instead of a gmail right in the beginning, I don't know how long ago. I don't know what gives now.

It actually doesn't matter if you type googlemail or just gmail in the address, the email will get through either way.

Yea! I've never noticed that! But it is true.

it is true just tested it .it dosent make difference

[Q] IMAP Email not downloading

Hello, I do hope this is in the right place, if not apologies for that, please move it to the appropriate place.
I just received my Note yesterday, and one of the first things I did was to set up my emails. Gmail on email seems to work fine, however I have 2 emails from Godaddy for business. The 2 Godaddy emails load up the folders, however emails do not load. I am able to send emails, but not receive! (all set up as IMAP)
Currently I have set up K9 mail, and this is pretty good, but I would like to get all my mail together in the stock mail app.
I would appreciate if someone has seen this, I couldn't anyone matching my situation.

Which service provider are you using? I know AT&T requires and Enterprise Data Package to access corporate email and such. Have you tried syncing while on WiFi to see if is is service related??

Hi, Im actually in the UK, using T-mobile, We purchased our private domains from Godaddy. I used the emails on the same network using HTC Desire HD, and I had no problems. As far as I can tell it seems like a software issue? or maybe Godaddy is incompatible with Samsung galaxy devices?
I did try using Wifi mode only, but no difference. Thanks for your reply

Hi just wondering I'm facing the same issue that some corporate exchange emails are having?

I'm just wondering if it's possible for someone to provide me the email app apk? I to perhaps reinstall,
I spoke to godaddy customer services but they were unable to help, suggesting it could be my phone, or samsung servers.
Please help

Exact Same Problem
I have exact same issue. Bought a samsung galaxy note and everything else seems fine, except for my godaddy accounts .
Any solution on your side?
I've tried setting up forwarding for my godaddy email acc to my gmail account, but I faced another problem which is whenever I sent out email from my samsung note, it seems to end up having duplicate emails in my sent folder. Only happens for godaddy account
This is driving me crazy

Hey I guess Im glad its not just my phone, I got no responses here. Godaddy werent much help either. So I did some digging and it seems like an issue with godaddy imap emails with samsung servers. Pop3 works but seriously outdated!
Apparently people using Galaxy s2 are facing the same issue. Which suggests a samsung side issue? Who knows
Im using K9 for the time being, which isn't too bad but would be nice to use stock app.
Keep me posted if u do come to a solution.

Well I guess either I need to spend money changing company hosting my email or live with it for the time being (sucks as I have signed up for 10 years!) .
Will surely update you once there's a solution.

So, this morning, i just opened the stock email, and it started to download my godaddy email messages! Looks like someone decided to look into this issue and fixed it!
Anyway give it a try, good luck! :thumbup:

Thanks! Tried it and it worked!
Happy New Year!

Im still having this issue but with outlook live accounts.
i wonder if what godaddy have done can be repeated by microsoft!

Godday imap doesn't work with stock email app
Same problem here:
I can see all my go daddy email folders but no messages ever load.
I have tried every setting and configuration possible but no dice.
Is anyone else still having this issue?

Mine seems to working ok,I hope this issue hasn't resurfaced.
Are you using the latest firmware? You may just need to update

I have 2.3.6
I hope its fixed in a future update.

If you look up accounts in your setting I believe you can add another email to your phone.
Not sure if you can change it totally without loosing info.

If you're just worried about the email address, I think you can change the address associated with a given Microsoft account. You can also just stop synching email on the current account and add the other account as a normal email account (as opposed to the phone's primary Microsoft account), if you *really* only care about email.
Otherwise, though, I'm not sure if you have any good options. On WP7, your purchases and such were attached to your Zune Tag / Xbox Live Gamertag (same thing) and you could move those between accounts, then hard-reset the phone and set it up with the "new" account to have access to all your old games. It *probably* works the same for WP8, but I can't promise that.
This kind of DRM bull**** is one of the reasons I don't "buy" apps if I can help it. If you actually owned a copy of the app, you could just re-install it on your own device after changing the primary ID no problem... Same goes for Steam and such, of course.

So,this is the story.
When i bought Lumia 520,i wanted to sign in with my e-mail address hotmail.com. I received error,tried with a new alias(same error), so i had to make new e-mail address(outlook.com)..Few days ago, i reseted my phone to factory settings, then i tried for curiosity if my first e-mail work and worked .Now i want to move apps/games to old e-mail address hotmail.com (or merge e-mail addresses).but i can't..I know that in wp7 you could change in registry something( i read somewhere )...
I can change gamertag for free(first time),but e-mail address no.I've been talked with support but they didn't helped me. They gived me a free t-shirt for xbox avatar.....I think there is no other option..just buy again apps/games in old e-mail address.

I believe that if you go to live.com and log in, there is an option under accounts to link different addresses to your account, as well as set the primary. As I remember, would be able to use any/all of those to log in. I had this issue before when I set up a new email. Only problem I had after that was my phones address and the primary weren't the same and FB chat through the native messenger app would not work. I reset the primary and no issues after that. Try it and let us know.

I said that you can add other addresses that will link to whatever you use for your Live.com account.
