Is there a setting in Galaxy SII to specify the number of days (period) of mail to sync in a Yahoo mail account?
I have the option in Exchange ActiveSync to do this, but could not find it in Yahoo Mail.
Thanks.

I think it depends on the app.
I haven't used the stock email app in a long time, but maybe the setting is only available when you first set up the account (if you can't see it anywhere). There will be a manual settings button on the bottom while you're adding an account.
On a side note, my Yahoo account is set as an imap account, so regular polling isn't necessary for me.

is there a way to have multiple email accounts on the tp? i have one of my hotmail accounts logged in. but when i try to go to add a new account for another hotmail account i have i go trhough the process. instead of adding it like my first email it goes online and i cant view pictures and it sucks compared to my original. i have to switch live ids if i wanna setup a different account in order to add gthe other email.
Is there a a program i can dl in order to do this? can i have a gmail account and hotmail account together or are we limited to 1 email that is tied directly to our tp?
Are trying to check your email through the web browser??
You can have as many pop/imap accounts as you want... you need to be using the built in copy of outlook... add each account separately
Makes sure you have pop or imap enabled in gmail or hotmail by checking the settings when you login over the web to each of those respective sites...
(ie: for gmail go to settings -> 'forwarding and pop/imap' -> enable IMAP)
From the Touch Flo 3D email tab tap Menu -> Accounts -> Accounts... -> Setup E-Mail. Add the incoming and outgoing mail server addresses, your username and password for the account, how much email you want to sync and you should be all set
I ran into the same problem. Have not figured it out yet. Evidently the built in email software does not allow two accounts under the same domain name. Ex" george @ verizon.net, and louie at verizon .net.
I have been able to set up multiple accounts, just not multiple accounts under the same domain name.
Is this what you are trying to do?
Yeah, it seems they don't let you have 2 hotmail accounts. But I do have more than one gmail account on there.
Here's one possible work-around:
Log on to your hotmail account on the pc. Then enable sending & receiving emails from other accounts as well. I have added my other hotmail account to it, and now get emails for both.

I have 1 hotmail & 2 gmail accounts, directly accessible and showing up on TF3D.
No problem putting 2 gmail accounts on, just a problem with 2 hotmail accounts, since you have to set those up through Windows Live App.
Has anyone figured out how to have two accounts with the same Domain Name Yet?
I didnt have a problem setting up 3 email accounts from the same domain. It's a personal domain. I unchecked find server settings automatically, set each as internet email, then followed the prompts. No problem with all three.

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.
Hello! I set my gmail account at my hd2! When I hit send/receive button to check if I have a new mail, all previous mails on my database dissapeared! Leo shows me only unread messages but I want to be able to view my "old" mails at my database too! What can I do to solve that? Any help please? Im with Energy rom

Use IMAP rather than POP3 should resolve it.
If you want POP3 only option is a software to move mail to another folder within that mail account as it only removes mail from inbox.
I use POP3 & POMO to move my important mail to folders created by me & delete junk or leave it in inbox, works well for my usage requirements.
Thanks but gmail is already IMAP as far as I know! Am I wrong? So what can I do? To set again from the beggining my account and choose IMAP server? In what software did yoy refer to? sorry for my bad english

default setup is IMAP.
when I used IMAP all mail stays present in inbox.
I use POMO to organise mail with simple rules & move mail to another folder in my POP3 accounts so they are not deleted on next send/receive.

I managed to fix that! I didnt use that programm but with many "magic" and with little bit luck I fixed that prob in gmail an hotmail too! Thanks for help

If you gMail set as an IMAP account, you can use it as an Exchange server. In ActiveSync on your HD2, select 'configure server' and enter 'm.google.com'. Use your gMail account details as the user. Remember to de-select calendar and contacts etc unless you want to sync those with Google as well. The advantage of this setup is that you can set the email schedule to collect mail as it arrives. It does use more power so I use it during work hours only.
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.

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?

instead of using Asia location, use UK.
worked and now yahoo mail is being forwarded to gmail!
soooo relieved. thanks for your help
Hi, I searched the forums but could not find any thread that dealt with this issue (for any phone), so I apologize if it's already been posted. And since I don't know if this is just an issue with the Rezound, I'm posting it here.
When I set up my Rezound I entered in my Google account info, and the phone automatically set up my Gmail account both in the Gmail app and in the stock HTC Sense Mail app. The Gmail app seems to work fine, but the stock email app doesn't sync the read status of new messages. If I get any emails in Gmail during the day, even if I log into it on my computer and read the messages, they still show up as unread in the sense mail app. Refreshing the app doesn't change anything. In the Gmail app, the messages will be marked as read if I have viewed them anywhere else.
I can't figure out how to fix this, and there doesn't seem to be a way to edit any server settings for the account, as sense has it registered as a Gmail account in the stock mail app, and not as a pop/imap account.
Anybody having this problem, or know how to fix it? I'm a new android user, and have only had this phone for a few days. Thanks.
Just take the gmail email out of the htc mail and just use the gmail email app to get your gmail mail.

I would like to avoid doing this if possible. I like having all my mail in one place. Any way to fix the stock app?
Email htc/usa and ask them. It only takes one second to push the gmail app,that's what I do. I understand you don't want to do that. Htc should be able to tell you how to change the settings.

I got an official reply from HTC:
Thank you for contacting HTC Technical support about the issue you are having with your Gmail account on your device. I do apologize that you have this issue with your device and I will gladly assist you with this today. We recommend you delete your Gmail account from the mail application on your device and use the Gmail application for your Gmail account on your device. The issue you are having it with the way the Gmail POP3 servers work with the Mail application on the device and there is not a setting to make it sync up to have the mail show up read until you up it on your device.

So it looks like, for whatever reason, the Gmail setting in the sense email app defaults to POP3, even though I have IMAP enabled in my gmail web settings. Unless anyone knows a way to fix this, I guess I will have to either set Gmail up as a regular IMAP account or just use the standalone application.
Thanks for the replies
