I've been browsing the web for the last couple of days trying to get out of buying a Yahoo Mail Plus account so I can check my Yahoo Mail over wifi. Anyway, I just stumbled over this in the Alldroid forums. This guy has created a patch for the email.apk for the Droid that allows you to check your Yahoo Mail over wifi. Anyone want to see if the lines are the same in our 2.1 version of Android and create a patched email.apk for the users of the Nexus One? Here's the link: http://alldroid.org/threads/16279-Email-with-Yahoo-IMAP-support
I take no credit for this other then searching for a way to be a cheap skate. Thanks to anyone that can help and possibly create a new patched email app for those of us using Yahoo Mail.
I'll gladly 2nd this request.
I had basically sworn off my sole Yahoo account b/c I can't stand checking ONLY while on Cellular networks.
Thanks in advance for anyone with the know-how to figure this out

Just log in to the Yahoo Canada website and enable the pop server. It will still pull yahoo.com emails (at least it did...).

Nope, the Yahoo Canada site still requires Yahoo! Mail Plus for POP access and forwarding. (At least, it did for me.)
However, I'm not fully certain if this would work, anyway. It appears that Yahoo!'s servers are blocking IPs that do not come from the pool reserved for mobile operators. Unless this patch is a way to force connections to Yahoo!'s mail servers to go through the cellular data connection, and use the WiFi for all other network connections when WiFi is available. (That would be the more likely avenue.)

fyi, I just download the 2.1-update1 version from the thread you linked and adb pushed it to /system/app and it appears to be working fine (can't test the yahoo thing as I don't have/use yahoo).
fwiw, I didn't have Email.apk to begin with (always remove it after flashing).
I was going to try pushing that one tomorrow when I get back to my copy of adb. I'll post how well it works. Maybe we can get it added to the roms if it works.
I tried it, and used the following settings from this page:
http://androidforums.com/motorola-droid/15600-yahoo-imap-hotmail-pop3-settings.html
IMAP Setting :
YAHOO IMAP
Incoming IMAP Mail ServerSetting :
User Name : [email protected]

Totally works over WiFi !!!!!!
CONFIRMED. works here.
Although I don't think push/check frequency is working. I have it set to 5 minutes, email myself from my Gmail and still nothing, that was about 15 mins ago lol
Anyone have a fix for that? thanks!
Just adb pushed it to my phone using the same imap settings that I was before and it totally works over wifi! We should get this added to the roms as a patch. Definitely useful for those of us that use Yahoo Mail.
i'd rather use SEVEN instead...it's almost instantaneous.

I imagine you're talking about this site: http://www.seven.com/index.html
- Which currently does NOT support T-Mobile, unless you sign up for their BETA program.
- Their BETA program requires you send an SMS message upon activation and for each email account setup...To their Isle of Man location, which would incur international costs, especially since I don't have a texting plan.
Are you using this, with Yahoo? Can you give more detail?
Just change your yahoo settings to Yahoo! Asia and everything works fine.

Remove your SIM card before adding your first email account to avoid sending the international SMS. You will need a Wi-Fi connection.
But there is a bug where it will keep the phone's awake time 100%, see the android section in seven's beta program forum for more info. (requires registration to access)
I just set-up the SEVEN app, and it rocks.
And I didn't need to do the SMS thing either.
You can download the software directly to the phone.
I tested it with my standard free Yahoo account, sent myself an email, and received it almost instantaneously.
Why this isn't all over every Android forum, I don't know.
Small tip. If the app FC's after initial install, just reboot the phone, and it should boot fine.
yes it rocks...
the notification icon also differentiate the emails account.
Push doesn't work, I've email myself multiple times from my gmail to my yahoo, with the fetch interval to 5 minutes (guess it's not push after all)
Am I using the wrong server settings?
If anyone has push/fetch working please PM me or post in here for others to see! thanks
Just wanted to let anyone know that cares that I uploaded the patch to CM's github yesterday and it's already been approved to be included in the next version. So, as of ver 5.0.5.3+ it should be included. YAY!

the email.apk works fine. The patch is to trick yahoo into seeing your wifi connection as a mobile connection.
Yahoo doesn't allow access to their mobile site through wifi, only through a cell carrier.
Hello, tried searching , can't find anything here.
I have push email with stock email client, connected to my company's Notifylink server, the main mail server is Groupwise.
The stock email client is displaying messages as plain text with all headers and html tags on screen - almost impossible to read. See the attached screen grab.
Is this a problem with how Notifylink is set up at my company? Other android phones and iPhones do not have this problem though.
Please help.
bumping up
anyone? any pointers? please?
You'll need to speak to your System/Email Admin. My corporate Exchange Server account displays html just fine.
Hi guys,
My brother pricked up a galaxy s 2 yesterday for a new job he has and he needs email on the go - he's not at all familiar with technology so has been slow to get a smartphone but now has no choice. I have a nexus myself so am familiar enough with setting them up. Have managed to add his email account via the built in email app and email sends and receives fine. What it is not doing though is either suggesting an email address when you put in the first few letters or remembering an email address that i have just sent to. I downloaded the gmail app and added a new account to test it on this. Same problem whereby it is not remembering the email address that i have just sent to. I would appreciate any help as he is flying back to Brussels later and needs this for his new job
Many thanks

I don't have this, too.
So only way to get this work is creating a contact.
It will fill up when start writing.
Also u can try other email application (like K9) but I don't think that it is working...
So maybe ur brother create a Contact named f.ex. "JOB" and in this contact he add all the important email adresses... (just an idea)
Hope I helped.
CHEERS
Hey thanks for the reply - i just switched him over to gmail altogether as i couldnt get the other apps to work at all. I know he'll have to type the email address at least once before its saved even in gmail but i think the app is better than the stock one.
Cheers
I've been on Android about 6 months now. First I had a Galaxy Note & now I have a Galaxy Note 2. In that time I've tried around 30 email clients (some free & some paid versions) but I've still not some across a client that can offer me some (what I consider) very simple features.
What I'd like the client to do is:
1. Be able to resize within the email view so I can see the whole email (or at least the width of it if the mail is longer than one page length). This is such a simple thing but the only one I've found that does this is the official Hotmail client but that brings with it a whole load of other issues... Even the Gmail client doesn't let you do this & you're forced to scroll around the screen trying to put together a virtual jigsaw puzzle in your head of what the whole email should look like.
2. Be able to set an option in the settings to always allow images. Again a simple feature. Something similar to the Gmail app would also be OK where you set it for each sender separately.
3. Always display as HTML.
4. Push notifications that display the message title/sender in the notification.
Hopefully someone knows of such a client but I haven't found one yet.
Thanks for your help people.

Have you tried Enhanced Email? It does all these things that you're looking for.

Thanks. I downloaded Enhanced Email from the play store. It does most of the stuff but doesn't let you know the source or title of the incoming mail. Just tells you that you have new mail.
Also having some problems with formatting emails in mobile view.
It's probably the best I've tried though.
You probably won't find an email client that tells you the sender and title because usually people receive multiple emails at a time from various senders.
And try K 9 mail
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium
Having used enhanced email for a few days I can say that it's definitely not up to use full time. When ever I reboot my phone it deletes my Hotmail account, it doesn't notify properly, has no push for Gmail, can't format html into mobile view effectively & has a poor gui. Very expensive for why it does.
I have tried K9 before & unless it's been updated recently there isn't an option to resize an email so that the while mail is displayed at once is there?

What do you mean resize your email? You can pinch to zoom in it though, I used it a week or so ago

Yes, you can pinch to zoom but I'd like to display the whole email on screen at once & then decide which part of the email I'd like to zoom into (if any). K9 & most other Android clients don't allow this. The only app that I've found that can do this at all is the official Hotmail app but the rest of the app is so basic its shocking. It doesn't allow you to always show images & on my current phone its a 3 click process to show images (in every mail you view). It also truncates all mails to a maximum of 100kb do anything over this takes a further 3 clicks to display properly. Very poor.
Try Aquamail. I absolutely love it, and it has all these features. Their mobile view is the main reason I use it. Make sure you pick up the latest beta version 4 here: www.aqua-mail.com/?page_id=217
The mobile view used to be incorporated into the appstore version. The developer took it out temporarily, and it is only in the latest beta.
Hi everyone. I've had a look around and couldnt find the answer to my question.
Basically I have a website and I use Google to provide a custom email address. For example if my website was XDA then my email address would be lazee_wolf@xda.com
I've tried and failed to add my email address to the email app on Android. My previous two phones were iPhones and they had no problem with the email address, they added the custom email address easily.
It seems weird to me that Apple's iOS accepts Google's custom email addresses as standard but Google' Android doesnt seem to. Could anyone help me set this up? I'm sure I'm not the only one!
