Hello Everyone.
I Recently shifted to HTC Sensation XL from Photon 4g.
And i end up getting failure in Adding Yahoo mail acc in it.
Later after hours and Hours of Googling i found out these Steps to get it working with default Mail app.
Incoming:
Protocol IMAP
Server: htc.imap.mail.yahoo.com
Security Type: SSL
Port: 993
Outgoing
Server: htc.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Security Type: SSL
Port: 465
Note: Yahoo mail App is available in market. It works just fine, but i feel ICS Mail app is lot better than Yahoo mail app.
Note: As my device is HTC, i have added htc.imap etc etc in server, if you are using different make. Remove HTC and give a try..
Hope This helps someone
Ive been using Yahoo Mail in Thunderbird on my desktop for a few years. I have the same setup except without the htc in front of the server addresses. Not sure what that does different maybe it delivers the messages in a more mobile friendly format?

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.

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.

I have bought a new Sony Ericsson X10 mini.
I have tried to connect to Hotmail (as i do from a PC) from the browser. After entering username and password it only results in a blank screen and nothing more....
Is it also possible to add Hotmail as a new account and how to do (in the menu E-mail) ? - i have tried without a good result.
do any of you know what the problem is ?
The email application doesn't support Hotmail however I use the web browser to access my Hotmail account and it works perfectly. The pages are nicely formatted for the phone resolution. Try to clean the phone cache or reboot the phone. Also, which url are you trying to use? If you have problems with www.hotmail.com maybe you can try www.live.com.
Doesn't the mail app allow you to use POP3? Because if you look in the support section of hotmail it shows you what you need to set up POP3 for that account. I've set it up so it sends my hotmail messages to my Gmail account myself
I thought that you have to have a paid account before you can use POP3 with hotmail?
They changed that, I only have a free account myself.
Gmail has been offering free POP3 for a while, MS figured they better get on the ball as well.
We can use hotmail with exchange now, I have it on my phone and works great

Unfortunately this phone has the pathetic limitation of supporting only one account in the standard email client and Hotmail is kind of my secondary account so I am forced to use the mail client for the main account and the browser for Hotmail.
Rather than updating the operating system, SonyEricsson should spend money to:
- improve the mail client
- improve the music player
- put a few nice games in the phone (not those un-removable trial versions!!)
i had hotmail working with the email app but i actually want my yahoomail to be the one setup there.
anyone ever tried it? i already tried suggestions from google but didn't work.

The one account only is part of the Android 1.6 OS. It it like that on other Android 1.6 phones too (e.g. HTC Hero). Should be solved when the 2.1 update comes out sunday
Just try it bro...
POP server: pop3.live.com (Port 995)
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 (Port 25 or 587)
Authentication required? Yes (this matches your POP username and password)
TLS/SSL required? Yes
just forget about the default mail app and use k-9.
its free and supports multiple accounts, including smtp, pop, etc

Just tried live.com and hotmail.com in the browser and both show a blank screen. That's odd.

I went to the Market and found an app that seems to work. It's called Hot Email and I can get my email and calendar. Seems to work!!

I am able to login and the folders are all synced up yet there is no mail and I cannot send out emails using yahoo email as a premium email account.
Works if it is automatically setup as POP account though.
I have the basic Yahoo email account, but I am able to put it in my phone's email program with IMAP settings.
Manually setup email.

hm, I don't get push notifications unlike if I use premium samsung social hub though...and there's a problem, I only get emails up to mid october. The newer emails do not load at all!
You wont get push, as that is only for Exchange accounts (like gmail).
Why go through the Samsung Social Hub? Have you tried the default email program?
I actually use Enhanced Email app, just because at the time the standard email app only synced the up to the previous 30 days. Although that may have changed.

Samsung social hub, the email client at least, gives Push for all emails if set as premium account...hotmail, gmail etc. until yahoo stopped working...
well at least I think it's push under the premium account since I can't set the frequency for it to sync
and today it works! Weird stuff
