It might possibly that the accounts are captcha locked, i had this happen to my gmail account and go here for gmail idk about yahoo. But they might have something familar.
You can either download the yahoo mail app from the market or you can look in the g1 development forum and there's a guide to set back up your yahoo mail account. Its all up to you but yes that does suck that once I rooted my mytouch I lost my yahoo mail.

[Q] Can someone help me with my email please?

I have an issue with my email which is whenever I open any email on my HD Desire it disappears from the server and I cannot open it from my laptop. To give you some information, this is company email and it is IMAP form. I tried K9 and MailDroid applications both of them the same issue. Also the original mail application does the same. Can someone help me to resolve this annoying problem?
have you checked settings? something like "server read" or "local read"...theres normally an option where you can choose wheter the mail will be deleted on server after read or just locally on the phone
There is no such settings in the mail applications in the phone
i can't remember where it is either but merell1988 is right. i remember seeing an option that allows you to leave a copy of the email on the server or delete.
flupo, which rom are you using? i'm pretty sure that i saw this option with the stock rom (i don't see it with cm7).

I'm using stock ROM. I need to know an application that helps me to keep my emails in the server.

[Q] Email account issues post ROM flash

OK so I'm having some odd problems after I flashed the Gingersense ROM. Right after I flashed the ROM the add email account screen was missing all of the standard options I had seen before. So, I restored the data to the mail app using Titanium Backup. That worked for a little while. Then I needed to change my email password.
When I tried to go in and change my Yahoo password, it said it failed to communicate with the server. When I tried to delete the account I keep getting the same error. 504 0:null
Anyone have any idea what that means? Can I somehow reinstall the mail app? will that help or should I try reflashing the ROM?
And before anyone pokes fun at a person still using Yahoo, I've had that account for a lot longer than gmail has even existed.
Edit: Just did a nondroid backup to the original froyo, still broken!
As an additional piece of info, I keep getting emails from [email protected] saying that my account "could not be authenticated" though those are the only emails coming in to that account
In case anyone runs into the same problem, I thought I would post how I finally got it at least halfway back to normal.
I ended up having to run the factory reset, which wiped out all of the accounts that synced to my phone.
After running the setup and tying my google account back to my phone, the gmail account never showed up in my email.
It still won't let me setup an email using the quick account type shortcuts, only with the POP/IMAP shortcut. I was able to get both my yahoo and my gmail back up and working, though I am missing the nice little icons for the accounts I had seen previously.

Oh and in the process I also somehow lost the desktop dock app.

Virtuous ICS RC3 email wont work

hey cant seem to get the email service working on all ICS roms including the Virtuous RC3 one, it just says username or password invalid. How is this possible?
cheers
Some more information please!
Which email provider do you have?
Have you try to set up the email account not automatically?
Maybe the informations that your phone get are wrong and you must set up the account on your own!
I have RC3 and my mail works fine! Googlemail and an other provider
Hi, I'm trying to use the email client with microsoft outlook exchange, Gmail works fine. I input my email address and password and click exchange and it just says details are incorrect. I dont understand why, because this has always worked before.
Thanks
Mmmh okay it's seem to be that exchange makes troble!
Some people reported already the problem:
[URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21611103&postcount=1510[/URL]
So that means you have to wait till a update is relased or you change the configuration on the exchange.
But i have no experience with exchange server =( I can't help you with this!

I am assuming that your outlook is displaying mail housed on an exchange server?
Are you running Stock or a custom ROM?
GB (EI22/EL30/FB15):
I have read that using the email.apk (the stock email application) from FroYo (android 2.2) people are having better results.
attached find the email application from EC05, save it to your sd card, use root explorer to rename the email.apk in /system/app to email.old, then copy email.apk on your sd card to /system/app.
reboot and try to connect to your exchange server.
I can't test this as I don't have an exchange server to connect to.
CM9:
here is a thread talking about exchange server email
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498149
you may be able to use the attached email.apk under CM9 as well.
Hope that helps
It looks like jdelano and I were writing at the same time. If you were looking for more beginner instructions, here is what I wrote:
The first thing you should try is the ActiveSync option in the Accounts & Sync settings. The icon looks like the four corners of a square and the name sometimes varies. You will need to enter your log in information, your network domain, and your server. Depending on your server's setup the amount of data you need to enter can be different. Usually yu will start with email and password and it will try to autodetect the other settings but if that doesn't work you will need to enter more manually. If yu have to enter the server URL it is usually the URL you would use to access Outlook Web Access. If you are lucky, the security model on the exchange server is compatible with the features of the Epic and everything will sync with the stock email, contacts, and calendar apps.
If you get an error about the security not being compatible you will most likely need to buy Touchdown for Exchange or Moxier Mail.
Let me know if this is enough information for you. If not I can do some screen-shots to try and help.
I am running stock deodexed and rooted el30..exactly what app do I use for this?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I have exchange email and I always use the stock email app that is included with whatever rom and version. Meaning I never change the email and I don't really condone that idea because in the email app they had to upgrade security settings in the gb app.

You will need to contact your I.T. to give you the proper settings because if its exchange email you will not be able to use the account settings found in outlook for that email account because those are the "local settings" if you are on their network. You need the external settings but your I.T. would give you the proper settings by just telling them what you want to do. If they allow you to.

Thanks for the file. I got really excited when I tried this and didn't get the error that my phone wasn't compatible with the server's security settings and it looked like the syncs were all good to go. Unfortunately no data populated the email app, the calendar, or the contacts for me.
I hope others get better results.
