Ok, I'm sure the best advice is to not use yahoo mail at all, but after upgrading to cm6 from stock rooted rom, I can't for the life of me get my yahoo mail account to work with the aosp email app. Has anyone else figured out how to do this? Of course, accessing yahoo mail on the browser is always an option, but I like the automatic notifications. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i had this problem too. it work initially and now the email app will tells me i have and invalid username and password.
i eventually downloaded the yahoo mail app from the market but i would much prefer to use the stock. ultimately i think to use the stock app, we"ll have to subscribe to yahoo plus.
anyone fix this yet?
Do manual set up and try these settings:
Incoming
Imap server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Security type: ssl
Server port: 993
Outgoing
Smtp server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Security: ssl
Server port: 465
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Also, i recommend using maildroid

I'm using the same rom and need to setup my school email address. CM6 only give me option of setting up Microsoft Exchange or Google. I need the option to setup OTHER so I can manually input the settings. I'm guessing it's missing in this ROM but is there an app I can download to setup my school email (i have the manual settings)?

I recently flashed miui from fresh rom. When I tried to add my yahoo mail account it wouldn't let me add it unless I manually entered the imap servers and only on 3g. Now my yahoo wont work with wifi and im wondering if there's a way to fix this

Experienced the same thing.
There is a work around. However, you'll have to load up the old ROM and set up your Yahoo mail. After you do, you'll need to go into the mail account and and copy down the IMAP settings that the Android mail server sets up for Yahoo (including the port number).
I'm guessing that the MIUI mail program is an older version that didn't take into account (and big pain in the *ss) settings that are unique to Yahoo like the newer Android mail programs do (which makes it appear flawless...).
UPDATE: Instead of re-installing your old ROM, I just noticed that I wrote down the settings for Yahoo.
Try this in Manual Setup:
Incoming Server Settings:
IMAP
Android.imap.mail.yahoo.com
Security: SSL
Server Port: 993
Outgoing Server Settings:
IMAP
android.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Server Port: 465
Security: SSL
This should fix it for you.

Thanks man! Just installed this ROM and found your post by search after I had the same issue. Worked perfect.

Hi,
I am trying to add my yahoo account at "mail" on evo.
After entering username and password it says : "Authentication failed. Please verity your usermane/password"
I am entering correct data, tried 100 times but no luck.
I can add my gmail and hotmail accounts but not yahoo.
I found an unsolved threat with same problem:

Your help is appreciated!

There's an app for that.
Doesn't help much with the mail apk, but it reads yahoo mail.
Just download the official yahoo mail app or k9 mail tool <- lets you view multiple accounts.

I had the same problem about a month ago and did this when setting up my yahoo account:
YAHOO IMAP
Incoming IMAP Mail ServerSetting :
User Name : [email protected]
Password : your email password
Incoming Mail Server : imap.n.mail.yahoo.com
Mail Box Name : Yahoo IMAP
Mail Box Type : IMAP
Security (Port) : Off
Port : Default
That should get you back up and running. This way you dont have to download an app, this will just work with stock mail. This will work cause I just did this this morning cause my yahoo wasnt working. Hope this helps.
I've had the same problem and I used the info from the post above but I had to change the incoming server settings for some reason.. I had to use android.imap.mail.yahoo.com... and I've also gotten it to work when I was on a different ROM by using imap.mobile.mail.yahoo.com.. So just try a few variations if the specific settings above dont work...

Outgoing server settings
[X] Login required
Username: [email protected]

SMTP server: android.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Security type: <none>

I did'nt want to download app from the market, stock app is perfect for me, still wondering why automatic setup did'nt work for yahoo.
Oh yeah, didn't work for me either, had to use yahoo mail app. I think it drains my battery though.

Hi all,
After search around in Google, i managed to get Galaxy Tab email working well in my Galaxy S. Following emails working perfectly including the bottom portion.
POP3 account (i selected it as IMAP account)
Gmail
Yahoo Mail (Free Account)
Hotmail
I wanted to share the settings as it will be helpful to others.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Select as IMAP account.

User name: (your email address)
Password: (your password)
IMAP Server: po.xxxxxx.com (xxxxxx = your email client)
Port: 143

IMAP path prefix: (leave blank)
Outgoing Server settings:
SMTP Server: smtp.xxxxxx.com (xxxxxx = your email client)
Port: 587
Security type: none
Require Sign in is checked
User name: (your email address)
Password: (Your password)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I didn't do manual setup. We are in google platform so Gmail is not a issue at all.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yahoo Mail (free Account):
Use as IMAP account.

I used File Manager (free version) to put the attached Email.apk in system/app directory. In the settings of file manager, make sure root check box is checked. then copy and paste the apk file. then restart the phone.
I am using darky's 9.3 final version ROM.
Hope this will help you guys those who still looking around to setup your free email clients in your galaxy s.
In my case the bottom part of mails from gmail were never displayed hence I'd to switch to K9
AFAIK: This already exists.
Thank you!
I was trying for a log time to use yahoo mail, but i was to lazy to solve it myself!
Thanks again.
Works perfect on Darky 9.3. Thanks alot
So,what about Gmail account?May I delete it?And use only my POP3.Somebody tried this in DocRom XWJS7 so far?
You don't need to do manual setup for Gmail. It should work. If you are having problem, then you use following settings:
Select as IMAP account
Incoming server: imap.gmail.com
Port: 993
Outgoing server: smtp.gmail.com
Port:465
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I have problems with hotmail
I did it with gmail and all OK but with Hotmail as exchange account dont work say conecction error. With pop3 show me all the mails but not syncronize.
Sorry for my english

I forgotten to highlight that you need to select IMAP account to setup your POP3 account
What about folders and subfolders

Oh yes, I spent over an hour online trying to make that work, and even called up my school's tech support desk. No luck.
I tried on the droid email app, another one I can't remember, and k-9. I couldn't make it work. I eventually synced it to my gmail, tagged all the mail coming in TO that address into it's own folder with a filter to bypass inbox, they have settings and whatnot for all that, you'll also be able to send email as that email address without logging into outlook. I haven't tried that last part on the native, I've just been using k9. It's like I have two separate email addresses in one app,
I have a hot mail alias still in outlook dunno if it matters but I used under domain \[email protected] and for server m.hotmail.com which the email app changed to snt-m.hot mail.com.
Also this is configured as exchange.
Anyhow its working.
ok, here is the solution.....
Add email account
First type in your new renamed email address : emailaddress @outlook . com and password : your password.
Hit next and select POP.
Now follow the settings below.
Incoming settings:
username: emailaddress @ outlook . com
password: your password
pop3 server: pop3.live.com
port: 995
security type: SSL/TLS
Delete email from server: never
Outgoing Settings:
SMTP Server: smtp.live.com
Port: 587
Security Type: STARTTLS
Require Sign-in: YES
Username: same as username above
Password: same as above
VOILA !!!!
hit "thanks" if it works.., its free

Your configuration seems fine; however I have a different one and am using SSL connections instead with the following setup for all my yahoo mail accounts:
IMAP Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Security Type: SSL
Server Port: 993
SMTP Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Security Type: SSL
Server Port: 465
Also, I think that if you use the default HTC client, then it configures the server setup automatically via HTCs servers. So that should always work for the OP.
I tried pop settings as set on my laptop without SSL n it worked.
Will try both your settings and experiment
