Afraid I have no idea. I've rooted this and my last two Android phones plenty and have always been able to access my yahoo account within the email app.

Thank you for your reply. That sucks for me then. Same thing happened with my nexus one the moment I root it. I lose access to yahoo from the stock email app. While my other unrooted vibrant logs on to yahoo without a problem.
Wow simple fix. And it took me this long to figure this out. can't be on wifi while trying to log on toyahoo using stock email application.

OK, so this happened on my Infuse too dont know if its an android thing? But I delete emails and then they pop up new again right after? Is there something I can do to prevent this? It's driving me crazy! I have my own pop email from my website I tried to run it as IMAP too , but that didnt help.
Hey guys,
My wife has a bell atrix and for some reason there is a hidden "hotmail" account that I can not delete. I can see the account in mail/message settings but it does not show up in account settings, therefore i can not delete nor edit it. So in the end I had to make a new account as "hotmail1" but now she receives emails twice.
Has anyone ever experience this before and know how to delete hidden account?
btw. she is running the latest OTA update with launcher pro and no custom rom.

go into manage applications and clear all data from any app involving your hotmail accounts. you might have to set all of them back up but it should remove the hidden account.
cleared all data and uninstalled apps that require email addresses but the hidden account is still there.
Happened to me before. a hotmail account.
Even came across a thread about it in the official motorola forums. The only solution I found was to format my Atrix!
your kidding me....a reformat? I really want to avoid doing that...
i've searched the motorola forums but did not find any such thread. Do you remember the link and/or search criticia? It would be appreciated!
update: nvm, I found the post. It is from someone who has a moto droid with the same problem. Does anyone have any possible solution to this problem without resorting to formatting?

I know it sucks, been there.
If it's the same problem you're having, this is the post and how Motorola's rep suggested doing a hard reset:
https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/27354
Thanks for the help. I will try a factory reset.
fyi....this is the original post at moto forums from someone with a driod that has the exact same problem as me.
*********************************************************
My Droid X has gone thru at least 2 updates since I got it as far as I can
remember. All normal updates OTA with no rooting, etc. Currently on 2.3.3
Android at System 4.5.596 MB810.Version.en.US
Recently I went looking to change some parameters on one of my email
accounts but I discovered something interesting. Not sure how long it has
been there.
When I click on the messaging icon, I see a Universal Inbox, text, and 5
email accounts as expected. If I click on "Edit Universal Inbox", it
shows 6 check boxs of 5 email and 1 text account. So far everthing is
normal.
But if I click on "Manage Accounts", I see only 4 email accounts + 2 Google
accounts. So where is my 5th email account which I use as my primary and
how do I modify my missing email account?. It I try to add it in, it
complains it is a duplicate so something knows it is there but it does not
show under the "My accounts" page.
So how do I make visible, a hidden email account so I can modify it? I
tried wiping the cache but saw no changes as it is still missing. I would
appreciate some recommendations on what to try now before I go for the
factory reset. Thanks. Andy

unfortunately it never got answered...
I too just had that problem. I tried clearing data from every applicationInvolving my accounts on my phone but didn't help only way was to factory data reset.

I'm running http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400023 this rom and and rom I use besides cm7/9 won't allow me to add my facebook account in the accounts section. The "F" from facebook shows up but everytime I click it nothing happens. I can long press and again, nothing. I love having my pictures on my contacts so this is kind of a big deal. If anyone knows a fix for this as its been doing it for a long time now, I'd greatly appreciate it.
I skip the blur setup at start (if that has anything to do with it) I have my google account working and syncing no problems there. I do not have blur running as it is too bulky for me but I know at one time I did in fact get facebook contacts to work w/o my blur account.
Please and thank you for the help!
no one have a solution?
Apparently this is an "issue" with the beloved motoblur. (sigh)
Don't know where I read, but they deactivated this in android, so you are stuck with the motoblur option.
BUT, fear not, I have a solution for you. Look for "Facebook Contact Sync" app in the market and all your problems will be solved.

I'm using the default ICS email application to connect to the exchange server at work and the application is perfect for me. Easy to use, nice and clean etc.
However, I have one major issue. You can't set sync periods, so for instance..Automatically Push emails between 9-5 Monday-Friday and outside those times, don't sync.
This is needed as I get automatic emails every hours but obviously I dont want these going on through the night. You could say turn the phone off, but I am required to have it on loud for on call work.
Does anyone know if I can use Tasker to modify the settings in the email app depending on the time? I could keep doing it manually, but would be easier if Tasker took care of it for me
I am looking for the exact same thing. Note that it already exists for K9 mail client.
If anybody finds anything, please let us know !
Cheers

In k9mail one can turn off notifications at night, not sync. Are you sure that sync can be turned off at night in k9?
Here's the deal - I want to add my corporate email account to the stock app on my S4 however - my company has stopped approving individual Android phones to the network. They now want me to use the 3rd party app Touchdown, which I don't want to do.
My last phone was a Galaxy Nexus and was able to successfully use the activesync exchange. Is there a way to trick my company in thinking I have a GNex (approved phone) so I can use the native app? Changing the phone name in the build.prop file didn't seem to work.
I'd prefer to use the S4 native app but if I can pull the stock app from the GNex, that works too.
Thanks for your help!

I can't really answer your question, but have one of my own to you. What's wrong with Touchdown? I actually prefer it since I only have to enter my pin when I launch the app. When I configured the stock app for Exchange I had to enter it every time I woke my phone which drove me crazy. I acknowledge it's a personal preference thing.

Stock looks so much nicer. Looks like an app actually created for JB. Touchdown looks like a blackberry app from 2003. I like the way stock integrates with my calendar.
Also, I used the modified version of the stock app so I didn't have to enter a PIN

While I agree that visually Touchdown is not as nice as the stock app, it will sync the phone's native calendar with exchange.

Do you know how? My understand is that while it may sync with contacts, it can't sync with the stock calendar.

When you setup the account in Touchdown you just select the Calendar to sync.
I have used it on many different ROMs and since my Galaxy Nexus. I have noticed that sometimes it can take a while for the events to appear in the calendar. (A couple hours at times at first.)
I think you are SOL. The Exchange server you will connect to can (and is probably configured) to check a unique hash generated from your current phone that is registered at the first sync that was done on your GNex. There are hacks out there, but I have no idea how well they work.

Can you point me to the modified stock app? I'd at least like to take a look and see if it's something I can use. I'll not totally sold on Touchdown and an alternative would be nice.

I'm a little confused here. So you can use your phone but only if you use Touchdown. Does touchdown connects to your network some special way? What error do you get when you try to use your S4 mail app?

I've been using Touchdown for a few years now and I really like it but I've never found a way to have the Touchdown calendar copied/synched/etc to the phone's built-in calendar. I know this option exists for the contacts but I just checked all of the settings in TD again and an option to do so with the calendar does not appear to exist. Please tell me how you accomplish this?

When you initially set up the account it gives you the tick boxes for email, contacts, and calendar. I select email and calendar but not contacts and it has always synced my calendar.

Correct. I was told by my internal IT that they do not authenticate individual models of Android phones anymore for activesync (because there is so many different versions. ugh.). So they tell you that if your device isn't already on the list, you need to use Touchdown. I was able to use the stock app on the Gnex, but can't on my S4. The error message simply says "Setup could not finish: Authentication failed".
I was hoping there would be some way to manipulate the app so my phone would appear as a GNex to the network.
Now that the S4 had been out for a little bit I will give this a bump and hope someone had a solution Please help . Thanks!

Not sure if this will help you but for a while I had flipped to another client see this url http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-galaxy-note-2/231093-i-miss-my-email-widget.html
And see the post from 12-18-2012, 11:55 AM alvarez13.
One of the many times I restored I did have a problem with FC's and created a step 6...
6. If this doesn't work just remove those two apps from the app folder and install the 2 apks from the SD Card. Then run TIBU and convert email to a system app, if it errors reboot the device.
If all else fails you just remove those two apks, and rename the original files back and reboot. Of course as always....
Please make a backUp when trying any mod, I am not responsible if your phone breaks. Yada Yada :good:
So update: I downloaded CM and can use the stock email app. For some reason on CM - my S4 appears as a GNex to my company's servers. Is there anyways to make that change so I can enjoy stock email use on TouchWiz?

I would suggest Hyperdrive as an option and choose aosp email client vs tw. Hope that helps. Idk if it will but it seems it would since it's based off of cm's email client.
If I helped don't forget to hit that thanks button.
