Is there any way I can use my normal email acct to sign in(Yahoo)? I want to access my favorite videos from my phone but it can only use a google acct. Should I just re make my favorites under my gmail?
Thanks

I tried pressing Menu button, signing out, then signing in using Add Account, but I could not use my Yahoo account either. Posting in here to see if you someone does eventually figure it out. But for now, I do not think there is a way

If you were using Yahoo email id to sign into YouTube, it means this Yahoo email is attached with Google Account.
1. Add a Google from Account and Sync. Login with Yahoo one.
2. Clear Data of YouTube app from Settings.
3. Launch YouTube app and try sign in. It'll present a list of Google Accounts. Choose Yahoo one. Done!

hi, this is a bit off topic, but I can explain:
I would like to keep my contacts (and info related to them) on devices owned by me.
I DO NOT like how I am "pushed" to use google (or any other account) for keeping my contacts on.
I like to have a choice, at the moment I choose off-line storage on my PC and my phone.
Can it be done like in good old days?
You can just put the contacts on your phone under your Google account and just turn off the sync for the contacts. It will still be on a Google account but it will offline. That's the only option I can think of.

+, you can then delete those contacts from your Google account afterwards if you don't want to store them online after getting them onto the phone.

thank you guys - that seems to be a solution.
Just to make sure I understand correctly:
1. link my phone to my gmail
2. go to settings->accounts->gmail and untick sync contacts, sync email, sync calendar
is this correct?
will it work?
I am factory resetting my phone for a third time already so apologies for asking SO many questions, but I want to make it write this time
Yeah just sign into your account and it will ask you what you want to sync. Just keep anything unchecked for what you don't want to sync.

So there are two email apps in the S3, Gmail and what appears to be the stock Samsung email client.
in order to use Gmail (push) it seems you have to keep "Sync" enabled in the options. the question is, is enabling this consumes battery by constantly polling/syncing, or is this Sync another name for Push (as in server notifies device rather than the device polling)?
I am trying to figure out what is the best way to setup push. using the Samsung email app, it appears to be true push without the need to have "Sync" on the device enabled.
the gmail app is the closest thing to "push" for all non-exchange email clients.
so i'd say if you use gmail and not exchange - use the app
both email clients can be configured for push, but gmail requires "sync" option enabled on the phone. the samsung email client doesn't require Sync to be enabled for push email..
i think i will stick with samsung email client.. seems better for push email without having to enable Sync (which might use more battery).
thanks guys
helped me also!
Guys, if you know what you are saying here, you have the solution I'm looking for since I got the S3.
The samsung galaxy s3 email client has no push option, at least I haven't found it. It used to have it in the S2. So enlight me please, how do you push gmail, yahoo, etc on samsung email?

someone posted this on another forum:
I am writing this because I want to help all these people who want to have push email when using the stock Email application on Galaxy S3 and other Android phones. I used to have a Blackberry and I find it extremely easy to use the push email option.
It is really extremely easy. This is the step-by-step process:
1. Go to phone Settings.
2. Go to Accounts and Synch.
3. Select Add Account.
4. On the screen that shows up, select Email.
5. On the next screen write your email account (eg. [email protected]) and
your password.
6. Click on Manual Setup (DO NOT CLICK ON NEXT).
7. On the next screen choose Microsoft Exchange Active Synch (yes, this is the correct one, do not be surprized!).
8. On the field Domain\user name, make sure that you have your complete email address, preceded by a \ (ie. \[email protected]).
9. Your password should also be entered (it is done automatically, but if it
is not, add it yourself).
10. In the field Echange Server use m.google.com (check with other email providers what you shoud use - I use a gmail based email service so I can not help you here, but I am sure that it is easy to find out).
11. Check Use Secure Connection and uncheck Use Client Certificate.
12. Click Next and OK if an information box pops up.
13. Change the Account options as desired and click Next.
You are all set. It works like a charm for Gmail accounts, you should make sure it works also for other services / email providers.
Good luck!

I personally use yahoo, and I still haven't found a way to make it work yet. But, gmail, according to what I've read so far, it should work just fine.
I already gave a try to the method above. It works, bute it has a few drawbacks:
1. It uses more data,more battery, more awake time than the push email client on the S2.
2. It works only for gmail, not yahoo. Because yahoo is greedy and wants money for an Exchange feature.

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.

I tried to delete on the mail app but it was giving me an error. Then I went to TB and wiped the data there and it worked. I was able to setup again
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.

Gmail Feature: Gmailify
There's a %100 chance that you already have and use Gmail on your Android phone. So I'm not going to exactly blow our mind when I tell you about this app. However there is a new feature that was announced recently that might have gone under the radar for some of you. "Gmailify" is the horribly named new feature that lets you use any Yahoo or Hotmail email address with the Gmail app and take advantage of all of your favorite Gmail features.
Now I can consolidate both my @Live and @gmail addresses in one app. The Gmail client has always been my favorite app to use for email. So I much prefer to use this than a third party client to consolidate my accounts.
To get stared just add a new account like you would normally and you'll see the option to add your @Live and @YAHOOO accounts. Check out this video that was uploaded to Google's YouTube channel.
Download Gmail
How many of you will take advantage of this feature?
Well, more years ago than I can remember I pretty much linked all of my emails to Gmail, so I've had this functionality across all platforms since then.
For as long as I can remember the android app has also let me choose which of these addresses to send from.
I'd recommend that approach tbh.
Can be done from the site. This app-feature lead me to it so that was useful. But I can read all the email accounts by anything accessing the gmail, Android and desktop applications.
Has anyone figured out how to Gmailify more than one account. I want to Gmailify both my hotmail account and my yahoo account. I can do either, but not both. Very silly limitation.

That's not gmailfying, thats just adding an account to the gmail app (which has been around for years). Gmailifying means gmail completely takes over, when you open gmail (from any device) you will have the mail from the gmailified account alongside your gmail. Adding an account the way you describe is just local on the app. What you need to do is "link" an account, not just add an account. To do this, after you add an account, go into the setting and chose link to gmail. However, if you already have 1 account linked it will tell you that you can't have another one linked. I hope this makes sense.

I have a terrible solution for your problem!
Just use 2 different users on your device, have 2 different sets of apps. With 2 different Gmailify apps, you can link both accounts separately. Will it work? Am I genius or a fool?

Hello,
I wanted to know which email App you use. Because the original one I don't like it and Gmail on quick app is very awful :/
So if you can answer to this it would be great!
I use Gmail. Yeah Gookill is just evil.
Use a cloud based only app like Gmail.
That eliminates malware completely unless you chose to download it.
Gmail is excellent with spam and I have never gotten malware through it except if not mindful of downloaded files.
My Yahoo email got locally wifi hacked once, I don't trust it's encryption now.
Outlook is malware central
Yahoo mail, with Gmail and Yahoo account.
I have no notifications, but I check it anyway, several times a day.
Aquamail, the best.
Nine -> Just get it from Petal Search. If you paid for it on playstore you can add your subscription on the Huawei without issue, you just need to paste the order or something in the app.

Thanks to MicroG settings, now I have notifications too.
Hi, I've been using Spark, I tried also BlueMail but didn't like it at all, what made me convince about Spark is that it syncs also your gmail folders, so everything keeps as if you were using gmail app, also your signatures, contacts an many more features that makes me forget about gmail native app.
It's available in app gallery, good luck!
Another cool app imo -> "Re:Work". https://rework.so/
I was using "Nine" previously so this is their new app and even had promotion for "Nine" users.
It's not available in the app gallery but it can be downloaded.
