Hi...my yahoo account was working just fine,surprinsingly fine in fact.Unfortunately,i was forced to do a hard reset to the phone and now,it simply doesn't want to sync,just saying that the configuration couldn't be made.Any help please?
YAHOO IMAP
Incoming IMAP Mail ServerSetting :
User Name : [email protected]
Password : your email password
Incoming Mail Server : imap.n.mail.yahoo.com
Mail Box Name : Yahoo IMAP
Mail Box Type : IMAP
Security (Port) : Off
Port : Default
Outgoing IMAP Mail ServerSetting :
Email Address : [email protected]
User Name : [email protected]
Password : your email password
Outgoing Mail Server : smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
Security (Port) : Off
Port : 587
If those settings don't work, just go to your PC, set regional settings to UK and set pop3 forwarding. After that go to social hub , register your yahoo account to retrieve automatic settings and it will work 100 %
Thanks to you both.I managed to sync it after a bit of struggle.

Unfortunately that doesn't work. It's asking for Protocol imap server, server port??? help pls
The error message i get is as follows "Cannot connect to the mail server to verify your account infor. Your server is not responding"
Bloody hotmail!!!
My girlfriend has just got a hero and in the shop I was saying "yeah, you'll be able to collect your hotmail email fine"
However, it appears that you need to upgrade to a hotmail plus account for £14.99 per year to let you collect hotmail emails via pop3 or imap. While that's not a lot, I didnt want to have to pay it if I dont have to.
So I set up email forwarding from her hotmail account to the google account setup on her Hero.
Normally, you cant forward emails from hotmail to non-hotmail or microsoft hosted domains without having the Hotmail plus account
Then I stumbled accross this at android community forums, posted by somone called 71CH so credit goes to them.
* Login to your Hotmail account
* Go to options
* Go to "Mobile Alerts for new messages" under the "Customize your mail" heading
* Type in your mobile phone number
* You'll then receive a text message with a pin number
* Type in the pin number
* Then select the option telling Hotmail Not to send you any text messages
* Go back to options and click on "Forward mail to another e-mail account"
* You'll now see that the restrictions for forwarding are now gone
* You can forward to any account you please.

I've just done this 10mins ago and it is working fine
try this setting..not sure if it's gonna work..or just forward your email to a gmail account
POP server: pop3.live.com
POP SSL required? Yes
User name: Your Windows Live ID, for example [email protected]
Password: The password you usually use to sign in to Hotmail or Windows Live
SMTP server: smtp.live.com
Authentication required? Yes (this matches your POP username and password)
TLS/SSL required? Yes
Thanks will give that a try
i think a couple of months back, POP3 access was enabled on all hotmail accounts.
That's the same work around for the iPhone the only problem is when you sign into hotmail on the web the emails come up as not viewed.

HTC - Hotmail
I've got Hotmail to send emails to my phone, no probs.
But, my phone won't send hotmail emails out, can someone pls tell me how to resolve all this..?
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.

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?
