yahoo mail - XPERIA X10 Android Development

so i have a rooted rogers x10a with firmware 026 on it. i cant manage to set up my yahoo.ca mail account in the mail settings. any help is appreciated...

No need root to setup yahoo mail. Use manual setup, incoming pop.mail.yahoo.com and outgoing smtp.mail.yahoo.com

or if you use k9 mail droid you can use IMAP with yahoo.
username = full email address
server = android.imap.mail.yahoo.com
security type = ssl

You need to be premium Yahoo mail user to have access to POP and SMTP. Regular (free) accounts do not get this anymore

I'm not a premium user but I can pull my email from yahoo.
I use the setting for incoming and outgoing that gpmg762 tell, and it worked fine.
waiting for Android 2.1 update, and then we'll get the Yahoo application that will enable push mail for Yahoo applications.. (hopefully for free. )

i was never able to yahoo mail to work.it only works on my iphone (not a premium user)

I use K9 for yahoo mail
i'm a Yahoo mail Plus subscriber (pretty cheap) and I'm modified the region in my yahoo account to be in Asia
=> IMAP works and even with a wifi connection
(I'm not rooted yet, probably soon)

imap works for me fine as I mentioned above and i've not changed my yahoo settings or subscribed to yahoo plus. Not sure about over wifi though.

You don't need to be premium Yahoo mail user to have access to POP and SMTP.
Hikaru Kaze above also use it like I do.
Regular accounts have POP and SMTP, you just need to enable it from your Yahoo account.
Goto option, pop & forwarding and select allow your Yahoo! Mail to be POPed. Remember to save changes.
Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.mail.yahoo.com (port 110)
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - smtp.mail.yahoo.com (port 25)

yahoo didn't let me activate POP (premium accunt required it says...)
but this imap settings worked,
so thank you very much
PS: curiously enough, after manually setting IMAP for incoming mail, the phone asked for "outgoing SMTP", so I just added the smtp server as described, and it's all OK

hahahah get the damn yahoo app and call it a day?

How can i setup YAHOO MAIL for my HERO

just bough this fone,love it so far,even better than my wife's iphone 3GS.but 1 think with the IP i can setup YAHOO MAIL very easy,but i use email features in my HERO it doesnt work,can u guys show me how?thanks
http://www.htc.com/hero/m/en/howtos/howto_email.html
Thats the way i did for my HERO but no luck,just wonder,i dont pay POP3 features for my email,but IPHONE i can access it,but with HERO i cant?can u guys help me out?
You sure you have the right settings?
* Incoming Mail (POP3) Server: pop3.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, port: 995)
* Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, port: 465, use authentication)
* Account Name/Login Name: Your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address without the “@yahoo.com”)
* Email Address: Your Yahoo! Mail address (e.g., [email protected])
* Password: Your Yahoo! Mail password
Also did you enable "Web & POP Access" in you Yahoo control panel?
You have to pay £10 a year for Yahoo 'plus' in order to get POP access to it
If you have an email address @yahoo.co.uk, then you can access with pop without the charge.
@justbabu I have a @yahoo.co.uk email address. You used to be able to get POP access if you accepted themed adverts from yahoo and could simply deselect all the categories to get pop access without adverts. They stopped this about a year and a half ago and since then you have to pay for POP as per http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/ma...pop-35.html;_ylt=AunWCAYq.dqicM1lFIB2kr8KzyN4
I tried the advert to set yahoo mail up on your mobile they then give you specific settings for you to use and send you an SMS for activation.
Look for the advert when you log into yahoo email.

This appears to be a bad idea, a very bad idea as all sent emails are sent from your new account that is your mobile number. Which may not be that good if sending emails to people you do not know.

Remote Tracker opens Outlook instead of sending email silently

Newbie here having trouble with Remote Tracker 0.4.2-0 on my TMOUS HD2 and haven't found an answer yet. When I send email commands to RT, such as rt2#egp, my phone just sits there in standby and when I unlock it Outlook is open with the email message ready to send. Anyone have an idea why and what I need to do? When I go to Outlook Contacts>Menu>Options I get an error report, "A problem has occurred with poutlook.exe," then comes up with List view settings, that's it, I don't know if there is supposed to be more and not sure if this has anything to do with the message not being sent. Everything is stock except for a few added apps and I just did a hard reset before reinstalling my apps after some experimentation. I don't use Outlook or even set up an email account on phone and haven't made any tweaks I can think of that would effect Outlook.
I also noticed that the CELLID shows me to be in New Jersey when I'm actually in Texas, this doesn't seem to be of much use at all but I haven't tried changing CELLID settings from default.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I thought commands where you supply an email address (like, rt2#egp#[email protected]#password) would, if so configured, silently without intervention send to the supplied email addy without even having email setup in RT; however, I do have the email account in RT configured; I do not have Outlook, AOL, Yahoo, etc accounts set up in the HD2s mail app (I use Opera to go to my Hotmail account).
In RT's email setup I have only one option under Account, Activesync, is this correct?

no, you need an actual account set up that the phone can use to connect to an outgoing email server with. Just feeding it the email address you want to use is no good, as it has no m,eans to send to that address. Its a bit like giving a man with no telephone your phone number ad asking him to call you.
Choosing the activesync account wouldnt help either, as it would only send when the phone was copnnected and synced to outlook on a pc. (activesync isnt a real account, just an extension of teh outlook account on eth pc)

You dont need to configure outlook/exchange settings. That wont work if you did. Reason is that the mailserver of Gmail isnt in your own domain.
Just configure your 2 Gmail accounts, just select Gmail instead of Outlook, HD2 got standard serttings for Gmail.
Push mail is a service provided by exchange server.
If you do not have exchange server, push-email will not work.
On the other hand, you could just configure your gmail accounts (as POP accounts or IMAP accounts, your choice) en periodically send/receive.
Hope this helps.
You may have to go into your gmail settings on your pc to configure imap or pop, i use imap on my device and pull every 10 mins
thanks guys, but what is with hotmail acc, i think that he dont allow imap?, how to configure him on my phone?

Not sure what you mean, if you go to add account and click on other, its all pretty straight forward and you shouldnt have any problems.
I have an exchange mail, gmail & hotmail accounts all set up and work fine.
Let me know if you have any more problems.

[Q] push yahoo emails to phone setup?

How can I setup my yahoo email account to push the emails to my phone instead of having the phone checking for them every 15 minutes?
pushing emails to the phone is better for battery life so that is why I am asking.
maybe there is a way to connect my yahoo email to the gmail app, so that way emails will be pushed to my phone through gmail..?
Yeah, you can use POP or IMAP, I forget which to have gmail grab your yahoo mail for you. You set it up through gmail.
I don't think yahoo has exchange settings.
Sent from my SGS II
use IMAP
here are the settings that have always worked for me:
Edit: nevermind, read the OP incorrectly... my badd
Yahoo doesn't use the standardize IMAP - Idle. It's a variation of P-IMAP that Apple and Yahoo "made up" with various protocols
Long story short... there is only ONE app I know that works with Yahoo's Push. Maildroid
There is a Yahoo email app in the market. Not sure if it's what you're looking for though, as I haven't used it.
I think you can do one of two things:
1) setup your gmail to pull emails from your yahoo mail account. Problem is that you can't send via yahoo mail account, using this method.
2) you can download the Yahoo Mail app but reports show that its a battery killer.
I think Yahoo wont let you push mail directly from them unless you pay for their premium service or use their own Yahoo app
OP, go to GMail settings on your desktop. Set it up to retrieve emails from your Yahoo mail account. You can also set a label for all the email from Yahoo. It will then push them into your Gmail app with proper label. Gmail server will automatically figure out the interval it will check for the mail from Yahoo so your phone don't have to do it.
Yahoo mail is one of the worst mail servers for Smartphones.

there, fixed it for ya
ugh, it won't let me set it up through gmail because i dont have the yahoo! mail plus.
any other ideas on how to push yahoo email to my phone?
i know moving to using just gmail would be an option, but that would take entirely too long to change all my email addresses on all the sites i visit to a gmail address.

I remember I had this issue setting up yahoo mail on my captivate with the stock email. I never use my yahoo account, I don't even know why I have one. I figured I would give it a try on the SGS II for kicks. The settings look like they are specific for Samsung phones (and different than the previous screen shots). Can you manually enter these settings into gmail?
Incoming settings:
Outgoing settings:
Of course replace my email address with your own.
My other suggestion would be yahoo settings. Can you set a yahoo account to auto-forward?
Sent from my SGS II
figured it out using this tutorial:

instead of using Asia location, use UK.
worked and now yahoo mail is being forwarded to gmail!
soooo relieved. thanks for your help

TG01/windows mob. 6.5 & updating mail folders on email client

Up until today, I had just been accessing gmail on my TG01/win mob. 6.5 via the web. I just started using the client.
However, someone else accesses the same gmail account. If they send mails, these are not updated in the 'sent' mails folder of my email client on the TG01. Is there a way to configure so that this always updates - not just incoming mail?
I guess you can Bcc your own gmail address and set up an email filtering rule to place stuff incoming from your address into Sent-mail folder.

Thanks for your post. I can't remember how I sorted it but I have 2 x 'sent mail' folders now - for each account - and this accounts for both mails sent elsewhere (from another device) and mails sent via the TG01.
