Connect to stock yahoo email client app

I'm having a problem connecting my phone to the stock email client. Does anyone have an idea on how to get yahoo to connect.

I am 99% certain you need to pay for it by upgrading your yahoo account.

Open email, type in user name and password, click manual setup, click imap, type in imap.mail.yahoo.com, leave port same, click next, type in smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com, click next... that should get you going, it worked for me!

I don't think you have to pay to do IMAP connect - only if you want POP3. For me Yahoo worked even with auto settings. Only thing is, I have not been able to get it to push email. I have to set it to check regularly.

I had it set up before I started using cognition but more it won't let me. It keeps saying wrong user name or password and I know their both right

Yahoo is free for pop3 email but you have to pay for imap (push email) the same reason I gave it up and never suggest yahoo to anyone. Dont believe me check THIS out

What are you connecting to for your email? Hotmail, activesync, etc?

Just connecting to my Isp's pop mail server. Settings are set to delete mail from server when I delete from inbox.

[Q] Outgoing name in stock email app

I've added my Hotmail account to the stock e-mail app, set up as Exchange ActiveSync. I can't however figure out how to change my outgoing name in sent mail. It just shows my mail account name without the @hotmail.com.
Now I know there's a Hotmail app available in the market with the option I'm looking for, but it only syncs mail from the last 30 days, which I don't want and therefor prefer the stock e-mail app (syncs everything).
I'm on 2.3.6 (KKA). Thanks in advance!

Email>Menu>More>Account Settings allows you to change your name and your signature. Is that what you are looking for?

Yes, except I don't get a field with "Your name". The signature field is there however.

Are you using the Gmail app or the Email app?
On my Note, the Gmail app has only the signature field in settings, the Email app (which you can use with gmail and/or any other email provider) has "Your name" and "Add Signature" in settings.
edit: I see that in your OP you did say you were using the Email app with Hotmail - so now I don't know what to think!
edit 2: I just tested mine by sending an email to myself, looked at it on my computer, it sent Stan/GNote as my name, followed by my email address.

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread. I have got the same issue on a Galaxy Tab. Did you solve this ? Thanks

I found a workaround to change the "Your Name" setting in the stock Email app. I posted the details at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31342076.

[Q] Setting up a Hotmail account

Hello.
I've never done this before and could use some help. In the E-mail app that is in the phone from teh start you can choose "Microsoft exchange" or "Other".
Should I choose Exchange when setting up a Hotmail account?
I'm not really sure what Exchange is so I just wanted to be sure before I try it.
Thank you in advance.

Choose other for setting up hotmail, I don't even think it is possible to use exchange for setting up a hotmail

Exchange is what is typically used in office enviroments. If you dont have any joy setting up hotmail in the email client, there is an official hotmail app in the google play store.

I used exchange for setting up a hotmail account, but it will not keep incoming mails for long (only for 1-2 days). Maybe some setting is wrong with my set up.

Why doesn't my Gmail app handle mailto links anymore?

Hello. For some reason my Gmail app won't handle email addresses I click on in my browser anymore. I'm using the stock browser. It defaults to the Gmail site instead.

Go to Settings>Apps then select your browser. In the browser app settings just below "clear cache" is the option "clear defaults" hit that
Now do the same for your Gmail app. Then next time you select an email address you should be asked to select which app to use select Gmail and Always

I thought it was going to work, but the browser didn't have any defaults set. The email links I try to click are on Craigslist, if that makes a difference. It just takes me to my gmail account through the browser. I wouldn't have any issues with that in particular, but it just takes me to the inbox only, never the compose email screen.

So did you clear defaults for Gmail any way. After testing this I had the same problem with the Defualt browser. After setting Gmail as Default Mail app. The browser app setting still showed no defaults set.
So I cleared my Gmail Defaults and it worked. It gives me the option screen to choose which mail app to use again.
