Yeah. I've looked through all the files I could find, and it must be encrypted on the phone.
I don't know the location and/or method Yahoo uses to store the password. If you are really desperate and have a rooted phone, you can probably obtain the password by stracing the process.
benno.id.au/blog/2007/11/18/android-runtime-strace
Using: strace -o output.log -s4096 -p <process id of yahoo mail app>
This will allow you to peak at the login communication but be warned, the output will be verbose. (I would search for your login name and see if the password is next to it).
Small note though: I hope Yahoo actually only uses you password during the initial App setup and than creates a unique token for future logins. For you of course, I hope they keep using the password ;-)
With as often as Yahoo Mail gets hacked, just ask someone on a cracking site for your password!
One account cracked yesterday for my son, one today for my wife. We use extremely cryptic, random generated passwords because of Yahoo's cracking history.
They either have an insider providing PWDs or..... Nevermind, we use HTTPS for sign in.
Yeah, Yahoo has insiders selling these farkers!

Honestly, it sounds more likely that your machine is infected with malware. Or.. perhaps someone pwn'd the email account that is used as recovery account for both your wife and son's email? Like.. your account ? Hi hijackers ;-)
(fwiw: hijackers often change the recovery settings so they can get back when the owner gets suspicious. )

Hey all,
On my SGS 2 right from the get go, I cant add an IMAP or POP account to the phone.
When it goes to check the incoming settings, it connects to the server (I can see the logs as its my mail server), logs in and then the email app closes.
I've reset to factory defaults etc and no difference.
My Exchange account, hotmail acct etc are all fine. I just cant add an IMAP or POP account.
Running CF-Root 4.0 on Ke7 kernel. (also tried with stock kernel as well of course)
Ay ideas?
Weird, considering Hotmail is just POP?

Hotmail is a 'premium' service.
Its certainly very strange, and im completely stumped right now. Im using K-9 in the meantime, but I dont really like K-9 that much.
My first thought was it's something wrong with my mail server (using courier-imap and couriier-pop) but it does it on ANY pop or imap account. (at least that I have access to)
UPDATE: If I purposely get the login details wrong, the app will report incorrect login, but wont crash. Only if the login is valid does it crash
My stock email client configured to connect to exchange via notifylink crashes whenever I try to open a larger email. Sorry this has nothing to do with your issue, but maybe it will give you some pointers.

Odd, well I am guessing it's some weird setting in your mail server. Most likely it's your mail server is following the RFC, but the stock email app isn't XD

You and I would assume that as well, but I've tried it on a different server type in a different data center in a different country and it still FC's
I'm completely baffled...
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.

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.

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.
I have 3 email accounts set up on my S3: An Exchange account and an IMAP account, using the default email client; and a gmail account using the gmail app. Frequently the whole IMAP account gets deleted. The exchange and gmail accounts are unaffected. This seems like a major bug. Has anyone else had the same?
The sync frequency for the exchange account also doesn't appear to work properly. I originally had it set for push email between 7:30am and 10pm and manual only outside those times. Sometimes it would still sync emails when it should be set to manual. I've since changed the settings to be check only four hourly during the day but it often (but not always) seems to behave as if still set for push email. Anyone else noticed this?

Do you have a spamfilter installed on your mobile?
It looks like another client may be downloading the email-account through POP3 and not have the option to keep the emails on the server checked.
At least that usually is the reason for emails disappearing when my customers complain about such problems...

S3's Exchange looks to be broken. I've seen very high battery drain of the exchange service even if the account was completely disabled, but it would go away as soon as the account was removed.
Your mailserver's policy may require an open data connection at all times (at least I _THINK_ there is such a policy option), mine seems to work fine in pull mode.
(I'm using a modified (added SMTP) Z-Push to provide Push-Email from IMAP-accounts even tough the german carrier (T-Mobile) has blocked mobile Email access)
Thanks for the reply. It's not just the emails that are being deleted, it's the whole account. It disappears from the email program and doesn't show in the accounts and sync page either. I've had to re-enter the account settings twice now. I've seen one report of something similar on another forum.
I understand what you mean about POP but that would only delete the emails not the account. The account doesn't support POP anyway, only IMAP.
It is also happening with me. The third email account I have configurated, which is Gmail, is indeed being deleted after a couple of hours.
Any idea on this guys?
No one facing this same behaviour?
I don't know if this has fixed it, but since I did this my email account has survived longer than before. It's only about a week though so could still go at any minute
In Setttings->Accounts & sync->Samsung Account->Device backup I disabled auto backup (which seemed to be failing any way). I'm not sure if it conflicts with having the google back up enabled as well. Since then my email accounts have survived. Fingers crossed it stays that way

I've deleted Samsung account and now it seems everything is fine with my third email account (which is Gmail ).
Mates,
The only thing that duly worked was reseting the phone. Now everything is fine and no more deletions of my third email account.
Hello, I am in England,UK. My fone is jacked up big time. I got it on Thursday, and am unable to create the e:mail account on the fone in the apps section. I can create a G:mail account on it which I don't need through the G:mail thing, but am unable to do so on the e:mail icon.My account is yahoo, and am told because it is yahoo, it is complete competition with google, therefore the fone will absolutely not be able to use yahoo on it. Is this true? if so, then I have wasted 500 quid on a paperweight thats too light to weigh down paper.
I am on Vodafone, and I rang them on Sunday morning, and they told me to change the proxy numbers and the port number. The fone is factory standard, was brand new on Thursday, and is on Andoird 404.
Ask Jack to try this first .

Thanks for the link, however, after trying for the last 15 minutes to try get to work, still no joy. Will installing the new jellybean softwae help when it comes out? It doesn't look like this fone wants to work properly. First Dobby, now this!!
Just use the yahoo app? I used to use yahoo years ago but made the change to Gmail well worth it.

The competition with Yahoo has no bearing on whether Yahoo accounts will work. I just set up a Yahoo account there and it is having no problems sending or receiving mail through the email app. What exactly is happening when you try to set up an account?
Use the yahoo app. My wife uses her yahoo account everyday. No problem sending/receiving emails. What happens when u try to set the account???
Hi, ok, when I go to the create an e:mail screen, I fill in the full e:mail adress, and enter the password, the it has the working circle, checking incoming servers for about 20 secs, then comes up with message box saying,' Username and password incorrect'. Thats it.
I HAVE for the time being signed in using the fone's app, but that is a manual receiving system, I don't want to check IF I have mail, the creating the account thing alerts me when I DO get mail right? So I can go straight to it without having to sign in constantly via the fone's app.
It worked fine from the first time I signed in the my Nokia N900, Nokia E7, HTC HD2, but this Samsung won't do it.
I had the same problem and a few other people. Here's how I got my Yahoo to work on my S3. Log in to your Yahoo account on the computer/laptop. Change the password and save. Now do the same on your phone. It worked for me and the other people who had this same problem.
Good luck
If johnw's fix doesn't work, have you tried setting up an account manually? Presuming you used the automatic set up thing.
I think that my Hotmail and/or S4 has been hacked. Last Monday I received word that a strange email was sent from my account with a link to skin care or something like that, so I changed my PW. On Friday, I received an email from Outlook that says my account has been compromised and I should change my PW, so I did, again. Sunday night, I'm told that another strange email was from my Hotmail account, so I change my PW again, 3rd time within a week. Each PW wasn't overly hard, but always contained both letters and numbers, so not super easy to crack I wouldn't think. So I started to try to track down the source, I removed email accounts from my phone on Monday (I have the stock email app set to check 2 accounts and have yet to have an issue with the second account). I also noticed in the Hotmail access log that my account was being accessed in 2 other states while all this was going on. So, all was going well and today I set up the email app with my Hotmail account info so I could check my email from my phone. Within 2 hours, my account was accessed from out of state again, but as far as I can tell nothing was sent.
I've read that its pretty simple to send out an email using an account that you don't have access too directly, just set up to use as a sent address, nothing shows up in my sent items so that would support this possibility. It's the account access log that has me worried, they still seem to be accessing my account. I've had AVG on my phone for quite some time now and that doesn't pick up anything, tonight I DL'd Lookout and that also came back as a clear scan.
My phone is still stock, would a factory reset fix the issue? I'd question whether or not a reset would get rid of the keylogger/spyware/malware or whatever is creating this problem. What about rooting and flashing a rom? What else could be causing the issue? I'm afraid that if I close the Hotmail account that there would still be something on my phone that's giving others access to my accounts.
Sorry for the book, T.I.A.

I'm not familiar with Hotmail, but many email providers allow 2-factor authentication. I would definitely suggest using that if it is available to you.
Check the IP addresses on the accesses from other states - do they match your ISP? Sometimes ISPs give out addresses that show up as different states. If Hotmail doesn't show ISP, you can put the IPs into the search at http://bgp.he.net/ and it should show you the ISP.
It is indeed trivial to send email appearing to be 'from' any account without access/relation at all to the account. Unfortunately spammers often take advantage of that and there's not really anything you can do about it.
I did activate the 2 step authentication.
I did track the IP address and then Googled what came back from the search (Cellco Partnership DBA Verizon Wireless) and it appears that this is tied with VZ and the related towers. It just seems weird that at one point it says its being accessed in Minn and the next time in Colo but I'm in So Dak and haven't traveled far from home since all this started.
Regardless, last night another email was sent with my email being used as the sending address. I've decided to close my Hotmail account because of all the hassle. I'm still looking for some advise on whether or not I need to reset the phone or possibly root and flash my phone in order to get rid of anything that might be stored on my phone. Is it worth worrying about or should I just move on?

Can you PM me the full headers of the email that was sent? I should be able to see in them how it's being done -- whether through your actual account, hotmail's servers, or just forging your email as the 'from' address.
You'd have to get them from the person who received it... in gmail it's as simple as clicking the little arrow and then 'Show Original', but the method to show headers will vary by client/provider, should be easy to google though.
About the IPs, it's not unheard of to be assigned IPs from a state or two over. It's obviously not an ideal configuration, no idea why it happens, but it has happened to me several times in the past. But we can't say they were your phone unless you've been keeping track of what external IPs your phone has been getting...
It is a really good sign that they're not some weird server host in russia, etc... though.
It's very common for spammers to forge a sender's email address - they can easily send spam which is "from" you without having any access to your account whatsoever. Some of that spam will get bounced back to you based on the use of your address, not because it was actually sent from your account. The bounced spam should include the headers it was originally sent with, from which one can tell where it really originated.
Are you sure the "out of state" access isn't just legitimate access to the account from your phone? IP addresses are logical, not physical. The geoIP databases which try to map addresses to locations aren't perfect, and your cell carrier may in fact be associating your phone with an IP mapped to a different state.
