Email problem after rooting - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the i9100 w icecream sandwhich 4.0.3. Just rooted today and now the stock email app will not register my live account. it continues to say connection failed. I have tried going through wifi rather than using my phones data and still it says connection failed. Has anyone else had this issue? If so how can i fix this?

Try clearing data and reboot ur phone.

i actually had the exact same issue, I was never able to sort it out, but I just linked my hotmail with my gmail account because the gmail app works fine.
In fact, gmail does a good job and linking with hotmail, it even lets you send emails from your hotmail account.
Dont know if this solution would work for you, but it did for me

Yahoo mail problem

I enter my username and password under the yahoo email option in the mail app and it keeps saying I have no new messages but I know I do... Anyone else have this problem or have a manual fix?

Yahoo mail still exists???? Get Gmail if problem persists.
I had the same issue. Even when I switched to display 20 messages from any date, it would say no mail but also say x available on server. If I tapped that it would compose a new message. I haven't used the native mail app in a while so after that I said screw it and went back to K9.
yes
same problem and looking for fix, I'm going to try sending the yahoo text/yahoo mobile from my computer to my phone and see if that works
Had same problem. I skipped it, went to it later and it went through.

lol. I was going to say the same thing. I had yahoo mail for 8 years and finally switched over to gmail earlier this year. best move ever.
Help
I am having same problem. My work uses yahoo mail to post overtime. I am losing cash so I hope they solve this quick. Yahoo is what company adopted for email so switching isn't an option.

You could always use the browser until you get it fixed. Probably something to do with the server ports. I'll dig around on the Hero boards and see if I can find the settings.

3vo. That is all that needs be said.
I am having the same problem. I downloaded the yahoo mail app from the marketplace as a workaround.

Seriously, K9 mail. It's free in the market. It is the best mail app I've seen. And when we finally get some sort of root, you can use titanium backup to backup your data and if you switch roms or whatever use that to restore your accounts and settings instantly.
It appears to be a known issue. I cannot get my Yahoo mail to open using the stock Email app either, I can send but I cannot receive. You can use the Yahoo Mail app, that works just fine and has a nice user interface, but me, personally I prefer using the regular Mail app for all three of my email addresses. My Yahoo address is only mainly for crap. If people think using Yahoo is archaic, I use ***gasp*** *OH NO’S*** my ISP email address which is where all my important stuff goes, banking stuff and so on, and the address I give out to close friends and family. Only reason I have a Gmail account is because you’re forced to in order to use an Android phone. Hopefully a fix for this problem is in the works.
I'm surprised anyone uses anything other than gmail with an android device for personal email.
Same problem here. Started happening just yesterday for me.
A Sprint rep told me that Yahoo blocked port 25 on their servers which is causing issues across all phone platforms. He also said that Yahoo wants to start charging people for Yahoo Plus in order for it to work, but I have found no confirmation of that. As a matter of fact, I found at least one Yahoo Plus user who is also having this problem using the native mail app from another HTC phone.
I have contacted Yahoo about the issue and will post their response here when I get it. However, it does seem to be a very widespread problem.
I will be waiting for an answer because I would rather use sense for emails then the app.
glad I wasn't the only one.
same problem here. I noticed I was not getting yahoo mails today. I use mine for business, and frankly don't ever want to use another email. Yahoo has been consistent, reliable for me for over 14 years.
I downloaded and installed the Enhanced Email app on the Amazon Appstore today.. special for today only for 4.99... seems like a good program..
I did not know about K9,, I could have saved the 4.99... but I think the Enhanced email app has a lot of features I haven't started using yet.
same issue with yahoo..
set up quickly.. but no emails coming in...
and yea been using Yahoo for years.. not going to switch because gmail is android friendly lol
i want a fix too, i use gmail, hotmail, and yahoo and want them all on my phone with stock software. depends on who i am giving my email to or sending to as to which account i use

I have the new HTC Evo 3D and Yahoo mail does not work with the
native HTC Mail app. Before this phone, I had the original HTC Evo and
Yahoo worked fine with the HTC app over the course of one year that I
had that phone. I upgraded to this phone last week, and for 5 days
Yahoo was working fine on the HTC mail app, but it stopped working
yesterday. Gmail and my work email still work through the HTC mail app
and my Yahoo mail is still working on my computer, so I believe the
problem is on Yahoo's end.
Please advise if this issue had already been reported and if it is being
worked on.

I use Gmail for personal use (friends/relatives) and Yahoo for commercial use ie. Amazon, Netflix, forum addresses, etc.. Keeps my Gmail absolutely spam free and when I get a Gmail I know it is really an email I want to see and have pushed to my 3VO.
I had the Yahoo set up problem too, just got my 3VO yesterday. Finally got it to work with the standard mail app. Turned out to be a security issue on my account, and after I changed my password to a more secure one, and after I signed on to the account from my 3VO browser, I was able to set it up using the manual mode (IMAP).
Remember to remove the "htc." from the incoming and outgoing server addresses though.

Microsoft Hot mail Sync

Every time I try to sync the Microsoft hotmail on the account & sync it tells me that sync is currently experiencing problems that it will be back shortly. is this going on for anybody else or is it just me. I'm trying to sync with Microsoft hotmail not the pop3 but with the exchange. Please any help gladly appreciated.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Me too. I believe this is a common issue. I have one hotmail account that works sporadically, and one that doesn't work at all.
Had the same issue. It was so annoying I switched to the hotmail app.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Yeah, it has never worked right for me either. I was wondering if the OTA might have fixed it but haven't tried setting up the account yet. Are you on the newest version?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I'm on the latest OTA, rooted. I just deleted the problematic account and readded it, and Im not getting the error now. I'm curious if it will stay that way. I have it set to push.
EDIT.. Nope, still hosed. I guess I could set it up as a pop account
I'm not glad that this is happening to a lot of people but I'm pretty happy that is not just my phone. I thought i had to go and get a replacement after 3 factory reset with no luck. hopefully it will get fix soon.
Is it possible that the OTA actually killed the Hotmail sync? When I first got my phone, Hotmail worked beautifully with the stock Email app, for several weeks, including Push email. Then, all of a sudden it just stopped working and I got the "Sync is currently experiencing problems" message. Hasn't worked since.
Has anyone been able to make it work again?

Yes. It's confirmed that the stock email app doesn't push with hotmail. Download the Hotmail app from the market and you're gtg. Push on that app works great!

ICS Exchange Problems

My exchange email has stopped. All of a sudden it stopped syncing and gave me an error. I removed the account and then re added the account and it says couldn't open connection to server. How can I fix this and what would cause it. Please help.
I am running paranoid android rom. I wiped cache and davlaich cache as well.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
What error code did it give you?
None. Just said it could not open connection to server. It just started doing this today and it wouldn't work so I removed account and now can't even add it back
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Usually with those it either means there's a certificate error or the port/security settings have been changed on the server side. Can you check the settings with your server admin?
It happened on my tablet too over the weekend. I powered it up and it gives the same error code and won't connect to the server. So this isn't just a phone problem which is good. Something has to be going on for it to affect phone and tablet email. It is exchange that is not working. I use Gmail app for my emailing, but use email so it will sync my calendar etc from work
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Got this too, still in Oct 2012
It doesn't look like this has been fixed since I'm still dealing with it today on my new asus tf700.
exchange
As far as I know, android can't handle exchange good. I tried to use a so called clients to syncronize between our exchange server and theese 2 apps (Exchange ExMail and Exchange by TouchDown ), but I always had an issue that after I read a mail on my phone, in my dekstop client it was still unread. I used MIUI on defy. Okay that was a year ago and I didn't tried again, but on my friends apple 3GS the exchange client works perfectly. Maybe your problem is related to android client side problems.

Issues with Yahoo and stock mail app?

Anyone else using the stock mail app for Yahoo mail having issues recently? My last received message was Saturday the 15th. If I try to sync, I get 500: Invalid server response. I can't even remove the account because of the same error. I try sending myself a test message and I get prompted for a login error. Tried resetting my password and no luck. I know I can use the yahoo mail app, I don't want to. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same.

I've been getting the 503 errors also. tried clearing Email data and have removed the account as well. Can't set up the account on my phone again beause Email setup doesn't show in the setup and I still get the 503 errors. I will let me setup the Yahoo account under "Others". I finally gave up and grabbed the Yahoo Mail app, it works better for me anyway.
Same issue here and my wife's S3 is doing the same. I comes and goes and I can't delete the account because I get the 503 error. We need a fix because this is basic functionality.

My wifes bionic is giving login errors but then logs right in since yesterday.
Go under settings> application manager> all and clear the data on the email app. From there you can now select the email app and choose "other" login with your yahoo mail credentials. It recognizes it and completes setup. Thats what im using now.

Email not syncing / cant delete email account

Sorry for the long post.
I have a gmail account and a hotmail account. Gmail works fine but hotmail is not syncing with the phone. I can see on the web app of hormail that I have received new email but I press the sync button on the mail app and nothing happen. I verified the password and is the correct one. I was reading that it happening to some people on the s3.
Tried to delete the account on setting/accounts and it say that some apps need the hotmail account and that I need to reset the device to factory. Tried to delete the account from the email app and it shows me "delete account failed-503 service unavailable" I have been looking through the forum and cant find an answer. Is there's a way I can delete without resetting ? im stock but rooted Thanks in advance
Figured out! deleted the stock email data from titanium backup and it deleted the account. Set it up again and seems to becworking fine!
You could also clear the data on the mail app...once cleared, go back to the email app and youll run the set up all over again

When I flash new rom, I try to avoid following....
1. dirty flashing (flashing over existing rom without wiping my own ass)
-> sometimes creates problems with functionality, but not always
2. retrieving titanium backup with yellow lettered internet bookmark, all red lettered datas, and any 'Account' data.
a)For internet bookmark, retrieve green lettered one but not the yellow one. Retrieving both yellow and green ones will combine 2 same bookmarks.
b)Do not save nor retrieve any red lettered datas.
c) Do not save or retrieve any 'Account' data which is on the list among other datas(regardless of what color it is), or it may create functionality problems such as syncing your email.

Hello,
I am having the same problem with my note2, only for my yahoo account. I am not familiar with the solution listed above as I don't know what Titanium backup is. I have not done anything to my Note since I got it, as far as changing ROM or anything. What is the best way to resolve this since I can't delete the account?
Thanks
Is there anyone that can help with this problem? I have a stock Note 2 and my yahoo account stopped updating out of nowhere. Now it also won't recognize my login info so I can't send messages either. I have installed the Yahoo app but prefer to use the stock email app for one stop to all my email.
Any suggestions welcome...

Try going to Settings, then Application Manager. Find the email application and clear data. Exit from the application manager and then open your email app and set up your yahoo account again.

Stanz,
Yahoo mail works better for me if I set it up manually. You can let the email app find the servers and such on its own, but that's where I've had most of my problems. If you follow the prompts in a manual set up its pretty intuitive. Delete your Yahoo account and try that.
