Yahoo Mail in SGS Email client

Anyone get Yahoo Mail to work email app? Comes up with login errors on my SGS but works fine on Milestone. What is different about Samsungs email client? Are there any versions that work?

If anyone cares, K9 mail works with Yahoo.
Will try AOSP email next. I wonder if Samsung and Yahoo just had some disagreement lol

Got it working with yahoo.com using imap protocol.

Mine works fine with POP, I have a very old account though so have the option to use POP, I'm sure newer accounts don't have this option unless you pay far a premium account

Yeah POP is now available on the paid account. POP sucks anyway

Can you post the settings you used? This is with Samsung email app not AOSP right?

[Q] (Q) Android Market keeps changing default account

So I have two different gmail accounts on my LG Thrill. (One Business, One Personal)
The market app keeps changing the default account to my business account.
Makes it harder to keep up with updates.
Is there any way to fix this?
Sorry if this is a newb question, I can't figure it out.

When you first set up the phone...which account did you use during set up. mine always defaults to that account and never changes.
If you need to change that...the only way i am aware of is a factory reset ...or manually switch (which until now...i had no idea you could do)

Thats what odd is that my personal account was the one that was set up first, yet it keeps trying to change to the other.

It seems to be a market issue right now. It's happening on a couple of my phones right now as well, including a stock Thrill and CM7 Atrix and X10

Ah ok I figured it was something of the sort because it randomly started happening.

Same on G2x
Oh good, my G2x with CM7 has been doing the same thing. Thought I was going to have to wipe. Hopefully this gets fixed soon.

Agreed. It's really annoying having to keep switching back to my primary account. I don't want to make any purchases until it's fixed. Don't want to risk the purchase going to an incorrect account.

Unless you've added a credit card to the other account(s), then there will be no risk on making purchases under the wrong account.
If you're that paranoid, you can always activate the PIN protection so it forces you to enter a PIN code to authorise an app purchase.

same here!! keep defaulting to the other account... any news on a fix for this yet??

It seems to be every time there is an update to the market app. Just updated again last night. Not sure on a fix yet.

What's the latest version of the market?

Im glad its not just me.. Im having the same problem. The account I used to set the phone up is my main account but it keeps switching to my other account and its fustrating. I dont even have a thrill I have a HTC desire Z. I guess this is a cross platform thing.

It started with me when I updated to 2.3.6, it could be the market though. But I noticed that in sync settings that my accounts are in alphabetical order now, and it switches to the top one. Which is also my google apps business account, and my original account is on the bottom, which is my personal. Rooted Nexus S, stock 2.3.6 rom and kernel.

Update
Market version 3.1.5
In the market, accounts menu, my accounts display in my original installed order. It defaults to the wrong account when it notifies that there is an app update.

same problem here on an SGS2 @ 2.3.5

Same problem for me on my Droid 3 (which is rooted, but running the stock flavor of the OS). I found where some folks on the official Android Market forum have a thread going that describes this same problem. Hopefully it will get fixed soon. In the meantime, I will probably just removed my secondary Google accounts for now, since I rarely actually need to use them.
-SR-

Same thing on my Thunderbolt. I have 3 accounts. my personal (first to set up and my "primary" online account), then my 'professional' account (tied to things like LinkedIn, used for resumes and such) and a third 'random' account used for things like 1 time deals and such.
I had root with stock and running CM7. on both ROMs i'd still have my perofessional account be the "primary" account in the market. frustrating.

[Q] Email setup in CM7.2 SIII V3

I just installed the CM7.2 SIII MOD V3 ROM from Faceliler and found it very light and useful, but the icon for setting up email accounts is not there. Gmail is in there, but I use the mail setup to get my hotmail and yahoo accounts in my phone. This is the first time I face a ROM that is lacking of the mail setup. May it be a bug or am I doing something wrong? I know this may be a very basic function but is one of the primary reasons why I have a unlimited internet plan in my cell phone, so its a primary function for me

Download an alternative E-mail client from play store. Faceliler should have removed it on purpose to add more space.

Yes, I was thinking about that possibility, unfortunately the free email clients in market aren't good enough as the stock one in android :crying:

What's your email app?

I've tried 20 apps and I don't really like most of them.
What are ppl using?
I honestly liked the old 4.1 stock app and want something similar.
I want manual sync, but I want the app to auto sync upon opening, which surprisingly none of them do. I know u just have to pull down to sync, but hey, one less step, is one less step.
I also am having trouble finding an app where u can easily delete from the app. I think I'm deleting emails throughout the day, only to find them all still there when I go to hotmail on my computer.
When I hit delete, I want it to delete, not go to trash so I have to open an entirely different folder and delete that for it to really be gone.
I'm just going to keep trying them, but if you guys have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

I use OWA Webmail app. As my employer has prevented me configuring mail apps for our exchange server. This one works though!

try this Email Mail Exchange @Blue

Have you tried Mailbox by Dropbox? I've been using Inbox by Google since it came out. I like the idea but it can get confusing at times. Gonna give Mailbox a try since it comes highly recommended.

Aquamail

I'm actually using Lollipop Gmail, considering it now supports other mail accounts natively.
Of course, it doesn't have any fancy features... But I enjoy it. It works well.

Profimail for corporate mail and Inbox for Gmail.
It will be great when the guys release the feature of getting mail from Exchange.

I tried Inbox... I didn't really like it. The order of things was confusing, and I didn't really like how everything combined together.

ugh, another email app that thinks Android is iOS...

I ended up going with Aqua. It's not perfect, but good enough.

Anybody using Touchdown for email?

Guys
I love touchdown but my employer has a 10 min security policy on touchdown that requires me to enter a PIN. It's a pain because I have a self-imposed 10 min policy to enter the PIN so I have to do it twice
With a rooted Nexus 6, is it possible to get rid of the touchdown PIN requirement?
Thanks

You want to bypass your employers security? You would lose your job, same day, at my place for such nonsense.

I use it and have no problems. Might be worth uninstalling the app, turn of your normal pin protection and then reinstall the app, see if that makes a difference.

that didn't help. It still has the pin security on touchdown set
