I started using the stock email app that came with this phone as a bit of a change from the Gmail email app.
I don't sync my data automatically but instead use an app called Synker from the Play Store which only grabs my email when I hit the widget on my homescreen.
Anyways, Synker does not grab my mail using the stock email. I can only get my mail if I physically go into email and synch.
Anyone help?

Is it just my View or is the stock mail app messed up. I have a shortcut to the mail app on the home screen. When I get a new email the notifier tells me and the mail icon on the home screen has a number on showing the number of new emails. I tap the mail icon and open the mail app and instead of showing the messages, it says no mail. I have to open the mail app and then tell it to refresh on order to see the email that the app notifier has told me that I have. Is this how the stock mail app is normally?
Are you using gmail or some other mail provider?

It is a pop 3 account with the mail app. My gmail works great.
Mail app is fine on my end. Exchange, yahoo, hotmail accounts. Mail icon pops up on the notification bar, open the mail app the emails are sitting in the respective inboxes. Do you have auto download messages checked in the settings?
Yes it is set to auto download and I have the peak and off peak download time set tot he same. I also tried checking the Refresh on open but that didn't help either. I removed my pop account and set it up again and that didn't help either. I don't know what is going on with it.

How can I setup my yahoo email account to push the emails to my phone instead of having the phone checking for them every 15 minutes?
pushing emails to the phone is better for battery life so that is why I am asking.
maybe there is a way to connect my yahoo email to the gmail app, so that way emails will be pushed to my phone through gmail..?
Yeah, you can use POP or IMAP, I forget which to have gmail grab your yahoo mail for you. You set it up through gmail.
I don't think yahoo has exchange settings.

use IMAP
here are the settings that have always worked for me:
Edit: nevermind, read the OP incorrectly... my badd
Yahoo doesn't use the standardize IMAP - Idle. It's a variation of P-IMAP that Apple and Yahoo "made up" with various protocols
Long story short... there is only ONE app I know that works with Yahoo's Push. Maildroid
There is a Yahoo email app in the market. Not sure if it's what you're looking for though, as I haven't used it.
I think you can do one of two things:
1) setup your gmail to pull emails from your yahoo mail account. Problem is that you can't send via yahoo mail account, using this method.
2) you can download the Yahoo Mail app but reports show that its a battery killer.
I think Yahoo wont let you push mail directly from them unless you pay for their premium service or use their own Yahoo app
OP, go to GMail settings on your desktop. Set it up to retrieve emails from your Yahoo mail account. You can also set a label for all the email from Yahoo. It will then push them into your Gmail app with proper label. Gmail server will automatically figure out the interval it will check for the mail from Yahoo so your phone don't have to do it.
Yahoo mail is one of the worst mail servers for Smartphones.

there, fixed it for ya
ugh, it won't let me set it up through gmail because i dont have the yahoo! mail plus.
any other ideas on how to push yahoo email to my phone?
i know moving to using just gmail would be an option, but that would take entirely too long to change all my email addresses on all the sites i visit to a gmail address.

I remember I had this issue setting up yahoo mail on my captivate with the stock email. I never use my yahoo account, I don't even know why I have one. I figured I would give it a try on the SGS II for kicks. The settings look like they are specific for Samsung phones (and different than the previous screen shots). Can you manually enter these settings into gmail?
Incoming settings:
Outgoing settings:
Of course replace my email address with your own.
My other suggestion would be yahoo settings. Can you set a yahoo account to auto-forward?

instead of using Asia location, use UK.
worked and now yahoo mail is being forwarded to gmail!
soooo relieved. thanks for your help
I use a Gmail and a Hotmail email account. On my iPhone I had it set to check every hour and both emails were under 1 app. Now on this phone there are separate apps for Gmail and regular mail. Is there a way to make them go into 1 email app? And also my mail app checks every half hour, but I found no option to make the gmail app check at all. I don't like having to check, refresh, and wait for the email. I like being notified when I have an email.
Thanks.
Add your gmail account to the mail app and uninstall gmail.

If you've never done this, you have to make sure to go into your gmail settings and enable IMAP (or POP). It will tell you the server settings to use as well.
Worked perfectly. Thanks.
Weird question maybe. The default email client on the tablet is using the built in app. It connects to my gmail account which is fine, but I want to use the OTHER email client that is on the tablet and setup my other IMAP email accounts also and not use the default Gmail client (which is the red app) and use the yellow one that just says "mail".
Also, does anyone know what the main difference between the two email clients that are loaded on the tablet by default?
One is red and the other is yellow. I guess they are no Outlook 2010, but better than nothing right?
Have you tried simply deleting the GMail app? That would be my first guess...
The red app is Gmail - only used for google's email. The yellow app is for any other email accounts like aol or yahoo.
Go into settings and click "Accounts and Sync" then add account on the top right. Click email and add your imap account. During setup make sure you have Default Account checked, that should set it as default. Hope this helps.
I personally delete gmail each time it comes back with a new ROM.
It just needs a rooted device and one of the numerous apps that can uninstall a system app, or a root file explorer to erase /system/app/gmail.apk.
You can remove the Gmail sync element in settings for that account. Then setup the other email client. Only one email app will check for emails then.
Or as someone said root and uninstall it.
In all honesty I usually just turn off gmail notifications and set up all the other email in my EMAIL app. That way I don't lose anything other than gmail app telling me when I have new mail.
Just open gmail app, go into settings, touch your username, uncheck notifications.
You can freeze the Gmail apk. with Titanium backup and not need to uninstall.

What email app are you using on your V10 and how do you like it?
I was using "Mailbox" from Dropbox but they are doing away with the app so I need something new that is fast and efficient.
I'm looking for an app that provides instant push notifications and has the little round badge count that shows up on the icon.
Any suggestions?
I use myMail: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.my.mail&hl=et
That's really good. There are ads sometimes, which are in your inbox after like every 10 mails or smth like that. But luckily those come very seldom.
gmail all day every single day
Gmail for me, too. Download the latest Exchange Services APK from APK mirror and you can also set up corporate accounts on Gmail.

That is. Very nice multi-account support; I do have 7 accounts configured there and it's been the best combined inbox experience for me with the most features.

Stock.
Don't judge me.....
I just switched to the stock email client from cloudmagic. I like how I am able to just sign in the cloudmagic app on any phone and all of my email accounts along with set signatures will sync. No need to add each one.. I have 8 email accounts.
The only thing that is missing from the stock v10 email app is the ability to delete/mark read/archive from the notification. Other than that it is verry light and smooth. The search function is also quicker than cloudmagic.

I ended up using AquaMail Pro. It does everything the standard email & Gmail apps do plus it supports extras like.... I can send one email to a specific "group" in my contacts.

I think Aquamail Pro tops them all.
