I've just installed K9 on my Evo 3D running ICS.
I've tried to setup POP email accounts on both comcast.net and gmail.com (my gmail account is set to POP3). No matter what account I try, I receive this error message. It happens both if I let K9 automatically configure the account or if I do it manually (and I've triple checked that my settings are correct). Phone has both wifi and mobile network running. Default email app has no problems.
How do I fix this?
It is k9 it cant do pop

What the #### are you talking about? From the description: "K9 supports IMAP, POP3, and Exchange 2003/2007".

I never could get it to read my exchange email, very frustrating so I uninstalled.

Uhh, yeah it can, I've been using it for years with my POP AT&T account. Sounds like a server setup issue maybe, double check your settings, I know GMail requires secure server and I'm sure the Comcast one does as well.

Believe it or not, it suddenly started working. During setup it kept telling me it couldn't connect, then suddenly it was checking and receiving emails!

Hi!
Am I the only one having this problem? The "manual setup" when adding a new email account is now "Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync". There is no manual options anywhere. I've been searching for it for a week, I'm now using some crap email client while searching but this is really a pain in the ***...
Do you know any tricks to bypass this and get to the manual configuration screen?
Or is there any way to have the default ICS email app? Why is samsung replacing it at the first place?!
Thanks!
Just fill in the fields and then the "manual setup" button will be enabled.

The button is NOT manual setup anymore, like I said it's now a button for Microsoft ActiveSync.

Have you tried clicking on it? Maybe they just changed the label of the button, and it does the same thing. (As VAXXi notes above, you will probably have to fill out address and password before it enables)

Yes I tried it, it leads to the Exchange configuration screen.
I tried so many things and yet nothing works.
edit: yes I filled both fields, I even tried to input my IMAP infos inside Exchange screen lol

So you're trying to enter an IMAP email server into your email app? Yeah, that won't work with Exchange Activesync. What IMAP server?
You could just put in your address/password and hit next. It should try to auto-discover your server settings and add the account, and you should be able to edit them after that in the settings.
OR, have you tried going through the Accounts settings instead of through the Email app?

lol, I'm trying to add custom IMAPS so it does not find them automagically unfortunately... So I can't get past the account autoconfiguration screen.
I tried going from the Account settings but there's no email option, nor imap or pop3 options...
Thanks

Sorry to hear this But by custom IMAP I mean, they are not automatically detected because they're not using standard hostname syntax like imap.domain.com but more something like imap.mail.domain.com which seems to cause problem to the Email app hehe
Thanks anyways

Right, I know what you meant.
To clarify, I meant I've only ever set up my Exchange account for work, and my Gmail account. I've never tried to set up an IMAP or POP account for any other address.
Good luck dude.
Ah, ok. You have to fill in the details email and incoming server, then uncheck the "push notification" checkbox and the bottom left button will change to "manual setup", and you can configure your IMAP.
It's stupid, I know

Well, maybe it's different in ICS, but on GB, you open email, hit menu, hit more, hit account settings, hit sync schedule.
Though if you're talking about GMail, and not EMail, you can just turn off auto-sync in your Accounts and Sync settings.
its very simple go to settings> accounts and sync then untick the auto sync option..thats it

So obviously there are some differences in the email app from Gingerbread to ICS. It's just a matter of navigating the menu to find the options you're looking for.
When you open the email app, and hit menu, do you get a "Settings" or "Account Settings" option? (if so, do you see a "Sync schedule" option inside that?)

That's the sync period. In other words, how far back to retrieve emails. There should also be a sync schedule, to set peak and off peak schedules on how often to sync.

You set it to what you want.
Push = emails retrieved when they are received.
Manual = on demand (when you first open the email app, or click "refresh")
You can also set it to intervals.
Peak/off peak is like day/night settings.
This is the same as GB...

It seems on ICS that these settings are not present, either in the main accounts sync settings, or in the stock mail client settings. I think they were there when I set the email account up, but perhaps cannot be changed subsequently?
Am I just missing something, or do I need to use another email client to get this capability?!

not that i can see. It just downloads whatever is waiting. Doesnt download any attachments automatically, youd have to open the email and press download for that.

See posts 10 and 11 in this thread. You can change how far back in terms of date it looks to download emails, but not a specific number of emails.
I have an issue where after setting up my email acct on the Touchpad, I can receive email just fine, but everytime I write one, it goes to the outbox and will not send. I'm using Hotmail (live.com).
I just received a second hand android pad from my Mother and I have the same problem on that even though the setup for incoming and outgoing mail completes fine.
I'm stumped. Any ideas?
Thanks

It should all set itself up automatically ... I would delete the account... wipe the app memory in app manager... reboot and then set it up again

You go and clear the "Clear Cache" option and also the "Clear Data" option, reboot if you like and then set the account up again

Could you please tell me where to do this?

No need to be so rude about it, cdzo72. He's new to the Android scene, apparently, so he needs patience and guidance, not animosity.
Settings => Apps => click EMail, then choose Force Stop, then Clear Cache, then Clear Data. Reboot your tablet and try again.
The other thing I would do, and this is just from experience, is set up a GMail account and import everything from your hotmail into it, and start using it. It's an easier platform to use, and also integrates flawlessly with Android, being from the same company (Google). Then again, since I loathe hotmail, it could just be bias talking.

ve6ay,
Thanks for the kindness. First off, my question related primarily to the HP Touchpad which is still on WebOS. No wonder none of this made sense. The Android suggestion may help on my second non-HP tablet which I 've only had for a couple of days.
I did not realize everything on this site had to be android related. I thought I remembered a lot of WebOS questions here when the Touchpad first came out. My bad.
cdzo72,
Sorry I bothered you. I won't post here again. Also, sorry I'm so stupid. I'll get some help.
You also might want to go into your hotmail settings and use change the impap/pop settings. Hotmail by default uses pop, try changing it to imap and the reload your email settings again on your touchpad. Also as someone mentioned , adding your hotmaail account to your gmail account makes thing even easier.
I have no idea why it would do that from within WebOS, since I haven't used the mail client there for anything but Gmail. But I agree, log into your Hotmail, and change the settings to I map. Then go into your email app, and manually add in another account, using the I map settings that they (should) offer you in the settings. I can't say where they are or what they are, since I haven't used Hotmail since the 90s.
Best of luck, mate. Don't be scared away. It is just that some new people don't bother to search. Your question is one I haven't seen yet, so it is a good one to investigate. Than, you for bringing it up.

Haxin,
Thanks for the suggestion. I got things fixed up on both tablets.
On the Android, deleting the account, clearing the cashe and data, and re-establishing the account did the trick.
On the WebOS HP unit, I deleted the account, re-booted and manually set up the Hotmail again with settings that I had Googled. All this time I was using settings that WebOS had used during an automatic set-up. I think it turned out to be a port setting and a security setting. Everything works fine now, too.
I thought it weird that both units had the same issue which is why I had originally thought it to be a Hotmail issue, not a setup issue.
Thanks again!

Thanks for the suggestions and encouragement. Sometimes folks go from zero to grumpy in 6 seconds.
All is sorted out now, see my reply to haxin above.
I haven't changed the setting in Hotmail to I map yet, since it seems unnecessary at this point. If I have future issues, I'll try that.
Thanks again!
Greetings gents.
I have a co-worker using an iPhone 5 giving me greef for this not working on my phone so i need to get this worked out lol.
I have a Galaxy Nexus running JB (4.1.1) . For a while my exchange email worked fine. However now, it will not sync. I attempted to reset up the account, however the "Exchange requires security settings update" message that we are suppose to get at the end of the setup (which appears the first time) does not re-appear on any inital setups.
One of our faculity (i work at a university) has this same phone and had issues with it when she upgraded. It was only after a hard reset of the phone did the message appear, which we then accepted and it started syncing the mail as it should.
I really don't want to reset my phone, so is there a way to "reset" the security settings so that it prompts me, or someplace i can go to enable it to get my email to work?
Thanks

Hey,
I know some people were looking for an app that forwards SMS to an email account. Sadly I have switched this option on somewhere in my GS3 and now it is forwarding every SMS to my Email account. This is really annoying now and I want to switch it off, sadly I don't remember how or when I have switched this on? Is there any chance I can track this down?
The crazy part is that I totally factory reset my phone to factory setting and its still forwarding the SMS to my work email account.....
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot in advance!

I'm not completely sure, but I think I haven't done that. This must be some backup option because they are going to my work email address and I think I did that in case I don't have access anymore to my private email address.
So it might have something to do with Avast Mobile Security, I had this installed to my root folder, so this might have survived the factory reset and unrooting process? Or this is a setting in my email or gmail app?
The problem is that I really don't know where to look :-/
