Help: Error While Checking Email

Hey, im not sure if anybody else has this problem or not, but here goes.
I'm trying to use my Yahoo! mail account from my phone.
THis morning i checked my email and got nearly 20 messages, perfectly fine.
Now im trying to reconnect (Menu > 8. Send/Recieve) to download an attachment, and i get an Error
"Your Internet connection is not configured properly. Please verify your settings in Connections."
Any idea how to fix this?
oh, i almost forgot, im using the T-Mo Web 5.99 tweak.
Thanks guys

I'm surprised it worked at all on that plan. But if you want to give it a shot try making sure that the mailbox is still set to use the right access point. Are you able to browse sites without issue?

with no problem at all

This happens from time to time, and it's quite annoying, as i rely on this for business...i haven't received any emails from hotmail / live account for the past 2 days...yahoo is syncing fine...

thx, but is there anything that i can do?

i just attempted to access my live.com email account and was greated with this msg...it may or may not be related...
"We're doing some maintenance to improve the service. We apologize for getting in your way. Please try again in a few minutes. If it's been more than an hour, tell us you're still waiting."

thx again, but i didnt even get that message,it just said that it synced and i had no new emails,hopefully it is a fix that microsoft is working on. thx again

check your account settings. Sometimes the password is not saved or some setting is not what it should be. I encountered the same issue with yahoo. Am not familiar at all with account settings so it was easier for me to delete the account and create it again. Upon creation I had not issues.

Anyone with SMS time stamp showing wrong?

For example: Someone sent me a message at 5:00pm, but Desire time stamp says that message is sent at 6:00pm, or sometimes it would say 7:00pm...
How to fix that? Date and time on my desire is configured correctly...

what time did u receive it ? at 5 ?

Yep, at the same time when it was sent...
I've just made some tests, apparently it's only affecting some networks. Is it possible that network message server is set to wrong time?

oh ok i think i might have had it before, not sure, and yeah i reckon it is possible, the solution to this could be ticking replying via the same center?

Can't find it too . But, as I recall, my girlfriend had that option turned on, and I wasn't able to reply her because she was on other provider.
I've goggled that problem, and apparently it's showing a lot on WM devices...and they have some sort of fix...

I have the same Problem here. receive messages are never correct

had the same problem before..my sms conversation thread not showing the correct reply & response chronologically..what i did was to disable the AUTOMATIC (use network-provided values) under SETTINGS-DATE & TIME..also switched to Handcent app to manage my SMS..now it's displaying correctly

there is no solution for it.

I just got a used P1i about a week ago and noticed the SMS timing problem right away. What I did to solve the problem was to set my home zone to Vancouver( i live in vancouver and currently on Fido network), zone of interest to Reykjavik and finally set the current time zone to Buenos Aires. Once everything is set, then i manually adjust the time and date to Vancouver time.
My phone works fine for me now. Hope this will help you too.
cheers

download handcent from the market, it's a better messaging app than the stock one and it also fixes the timestamp issue
and best of all, its free! =)

There's an application on the Market called "SMS Time Fix" that automatically catches any incoming SMS and lets you apply a time offset to fix that... if anyone's still looking for a solution.

HTC Facebook Problems
Hey guys just a note there seems to be a few problems with Facebook at the moment - apparently the team is working on it. They think the reason is a change in the Facebook platform, possibly with application settings and privacy.
Hope this helps

Same thing is happening to me as well. We are using Zimbra for my company's email system. I'm on a Sprint Note 2 on 4.3 stock and no root. Funniest thing it was working after the 4.3 update but for some reason it stopped working as of today.

Same here on my ATT Note 2.

well, so far based on the fact there are reports coming from at least 3 cell providers that its the update causing it lol, wonder is samsung will say anything

i have found a workaround.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...4-4-with-gmail-style-ui-and-a-slide-out-menu/
you have to install the email app and also the exchange app.
and do not use the stock email app. but use this one
hope this helps

Hello,
the same problem here with an GT-I9505 (Samsung Galaxy S4).
Are there any solutions right now?
I don't want to downgrade it with the posted workaround because I want to use the phone as all others in the world. Buy it, install it, use it. Sometimes upgrade it and nothing more.
Particularly I don't want to hack anything on that phone because we have much phones in our company so we do not have time to fix those bugs manually.

The workaround works, but that email app sucks.

Resolution
1) Ask any user to send you an appointment
2) You will get the appointment on your device, accept the appointment and it will send an email in the backend which resolved this issue.
Let me know if this helps.

Hello. I have also encountered this issue with my Outlook.com email account following the 4.3 update. I can confirm that Sandesh's solution with replying to an invitation has solved the problem for me. Thanks!

What I went through to solve this.
I have the same device on the same network and this worked for me. You must have someone send you the appointment on the affected exchange account. In other-words, if you have a corporate account have someone else at that company send you the appointment, accept it and you should be off and running.
I had a running ticket open with Samsung and we tried all sorts of things.
For example.
We restarted the phone
Performed a soft reboot, that is just pull the battery while the phone is on.

Click on Settings

Swipe left until "All" applications are showing
Click on Exchange Services
Click on Clear data
now re-input your account information​
Reset all Email accounts:
Click on Settings

Click on Email

Suggested actions - Factory reset. Backup your data first.
Re-flash device at Best Buy (Samsung experience department) Backup your data first.
I think that covers it all.

It works! I was so sick of using Android email v4.3. It was POS and often stuck my outgoing msgs in the outbox for days without me knowing. And it often was super delayed in pushing incoming msgs. Then it does not allow you to auto bcc to yourself by default. POS POS POS.
Heck, you can call Samsung and tell them to send you an appointment if you don't have access to a corporate account. It also works if I forward the message to my other screwed-up accounts. I think I'll keep those emails / appointments and reuse them for future problems.:good:

Also works for Galaxy S5 with Android 4.4.2

Samsung Note II
I had someone send me an appointment from outside of my messaging system and after I Accepted that appointment I was able to create new messages and Send them. I no longer get the popup message of "Retrieving account information" on messages trying to be sent.
Sure is a big bug for Samsung.

Old thread but still a problem... had it with Android 5.0.1 on my S4 and with an S6 port on the S4. Sending an appointment did not help (anymore).
I had really trouble finding the problem...: I use a Kerio Connect Server for my mails, contacts and calendar. It works as a Exchange Server and syncs via Active sync /exchange protocol. But in the protocol version 14.0. I had to force the server to use the active sync protocol 12.1. Then it was possible to answer the appointment. And everything works... Before the mobile and/or server copied the event in the local calendar, but deleted the email and did not send it...
Hopefully nobody else has this issue, otherwise here is the fix:
