[Q] Native Email client and Yahoo - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

I am experiencing sign-on problems with Yahoo and the native email client. I do not want to use Yahoo's app because I actually like the air preview capability of the native app. I've tried APP MGR > Clear Data and re-adding the account. It works fine for approximately one day then eventually fails to log in. Any help is greatly appreciated. Other than that - this is a great phone!

Exchange ActiveSync Mail Force Close Issue With All ROMS

This happens every time when I click on an email. It crashes every time. Is this a known issue? I can get around using a mail widget. But I like to use the native mail app. following is the error I get:
Sorry!
The application Mail (process com.htc.android.mail) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Please help!!!!!
more background would help as to what steps you have taken:
My suggestion is to do a factory reset and wipe all via AMON and install fresh ROM. I am having issues only with Exchange on CM, all sense mail apk's work for me.

I have done everything wipe, factory reset. This is Lotus Notes 8.5.1 Traveler. Exchange and Notes both uses ActiveSync protocol for push mail.
I was wondering if anybody else is having similar issues.

For starters your in the wrong threads, this should be in the General Questions,
But info needed is rom your using, version of email program.
As I use Exchange Active Sync on all the roms I have tested from 2.1 and 2.2 version even the Cyanogenmod Default works fine for me. My office uses the new Exchange 2010 servers.
Now notes is a far different thing. It might use the same protocol but that does not mean it is the same setup.
Never heard of this issue with Exchange 2007, or greater. What ROM and mail apk are you using?
willing to bet it's got something to do with lotus, and not the mail app. Tell your corp to stop using horrible lotus and use horrible exchange instead
As opposed to?

Agreed. Lotus really sucks, at least at working with third party software. I've never met a developer that didn't hate any attempt to integrate with Lotus.
Lotus Notes... eww...
Well... I sync with Exchange Server 2007 and I had zero problems with custom ROMs.
Well, I am having the same issue... Force close when I try and look at any message from ActiveSync in the default Sense mail client.
I am running a stock EVO, not rooted with the 3.29.651.5 Software.
I do have the beta LN Traveler client installed. I did not try to uninstall that and connect the default mail client again. I am wondering if it has something to do with the ?requirement? that mail be stored encrypted on the device?
Everything else seems to work, except actually reading the mail. Our IT department says they are going to cut all other clients off in the near future anyway. I really hate that because the LN Traveler client stinks (no surprise) in that nothing is integrated so agenda widget doesn't know about those calendar entries at all. Contacts is the only part that is integrated.
Yes, I hate LN, but some of us don't have a choice...

I am totally with you on this. Lotus Notes is a crappy email system and as users we do not have a choice. Traveler works perfectly on the iPhone and not Android. Our Lotus Notes team is also going to discontinue Android support. Just iPhone and Blackberry only. No one wants to fix the issue and IBM suck at support. That's it I'm done.
We have updated to 8.5.2.0 but I got the same problem you are talking about, have you found any solution?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Exact same issue
I know this is an old thread, but this is the only one I could find that matched my problem.
I'm running SprintLover ROM and using stock email app. Configured Exchange account fine and email headers and calendar syncs fine. Can open and edit calendar entries and it syncs. However, once I tap an email to open it, I receive a force close error.
I did a factory wipe, and did not install or sync anything other than the Exchange account - same story. Synced fine but could not open a message.
But sorry, I haven't found a workaround or solution yet.

Email app only downloading old messages?

I have set up my email account with the Samsung built-in email app, but it seems to only download old messages. Right now I'm seeing emails from 2006. Is there any way to make it download the newest messages on the server, instead of the oldest ones? As it is now, it is totally useless.
On a related issue, if I want to use the built-in email app with my Gmail account (I would rather use a single email program for both Gmail and my work email without having to switch between apps), is there any way to get the "recent:" functionality working? When I try to set my username with recent: before my email address, as Gmail has you do to only get the last month of email, the Samsung mail app says my login is wrong.
Both of these worked fine with the HTC mail app on my old Hero, so I'm kind of surprised if Samsung's mail app can't do it.

What type of email do ypu have?
I've only tried it connecting to Gmail, with the Gmail POP3/SMTP servers. I know that Google encourages us to use the Gmail app for that, but it seems so strange that Samsung can't get their mail app to work properly with Gmail.
I've been using K-9 mail for the last few weeks, but it seems to have its own problems, but unlike the Samsung app it actually works reasonably well enough. Unfortunately I have yet to find a mail client that works as well as HTC's, though. Maybe I just need to learn how to program this thing and fix K-9 myself.

Email in the phone

Guys
I am using an Android phone. I have the stock email program and I have also K9 and Enhanced Email all running at the same time.
I have an Gmail account but don't use it for email or for nothing really dont trust the cloud/google.
My problem is all the email apps work great BUT when I open outlook then they all get removed form my phone. So basically the only emails I am left with are the send ones(in my phone). This happens with my POP and exchange accounts.
My question:
1) is there a Mail App that will make a copy of the email in my phone so when I open outlook they wont get sync and disappear?
2) If number 1 is no then is there a easy way to full your phone to keep the emails.
Thank you

A properly configured Exchange server usually doesn't allow the local device to retain the message data, it's all accessed real-time from the server. Its possible you have what I call a Half-Ass Exchange, which means you have a central address directory, but the IT department set up Outlook and Exchange to store messages locally on the PC rather than on the server. This would lead to what you are experiencing... Outlook takes all the messages off the server, leaving your phone with nothing to see when it connects. There's not a whole lot you can do about that unless your IT guys will move your email data to the Exchange server. Or maybe they have an IMAP access option. (See below)
With pop3 accounts... You have a similar problem, except there is no way to for two different devices to access the same data. The closest you can get would be to configure both devices to leave messages on the server after downloading them. Any emailed replies then can only be accessed from the device from which you sent them.
If you have the option, switch your pop3 accounts to IMAP. All user data is kept on a server (just like GMail), and any device that is connected to that account automatically syncs with the server, including access to deleted messages and sent messages sent from any other device.
All that being said... The stock email program kinda sucks. I would stick with the 3rd party apps like K9.
This is a new issue to me. I came from a PRE WEBOS and i did not have that problem. I believe the problem is in the way ANDROID OS handles emails. Basically all its changed is the device all else remained constant. I believe but not sure that if i was run all my mail thru gmail this will not be an issue. Its that true?
Thanks

I access my pop3 mail just fine using K9 (again, I don't like the stock email program). Downloaded messages remain on my phone after they've been downloaded by my Thunderbird installation on my PC.
My current company doesn't have an Exchange server, so I can't speak to that with direct knowledge... My lat experience with Exchange was about two years ago, so its behavior could certainly have changed! My current company has 10 locations, and they are content to use a 3rd party pop3 solution for email. As an IT man, that annoys me, but then, I don't write the checks!
If you haven't changed any settings in your Outlook, then I would look closer to your settings in the email programs. K9 specifically has a setting that you need to check in order to download the messages to your phone (as opposed to just reading them off the server). I don't remember if it came checked by default...
Check to see if your phone email programs are set to actually download entire messages from the server, or just the message headers. In K9, there is a specific setting under account

I don't see that option on my Enhanced Email program nor in the stock email program and I can not use K-9 because y does not support outlook 2010 exchange yet.

Yahoo Mail Client mail notifications not working on LG G3

Hi All,
I recently purchased a New Tmo LG G3. I've installed the latest Yahoo Mail Client from the Play Store. I recently noticed that mail notifications appears to not work as expected. Can someone help me verify if this issue is isolated to me of if this is a handset/app issue?
Issue: When user is sent mail to their Yahoo e-mail account, notification for new mail is not received.
Actual: Mail is received when performing manual sync. If user opens the Yahoo mail client, the mail will appear in the inbox.
Expected: Mail notification is received and user is made aware they have new mail awaiting to be read.
Repro Steps:
e-mail Yahoo account using another mail client
stay idle on the home screen and wait for notification
Additional notes: I verified that sync settings on Android is set to ON, I've also verified that sending mail from Gmail to Gmail, Comcast to GMail and Gmail to Comcast works as expected. I've also checked for reviews on the Play Store and noticed that their are 2-3 other people rated this app with 1 start stating it doesn't work.
If I could get a member or members on here test the Yahoo client it would be greatly appreciated. Maybe I can keep my sanity if know this isn't isolated to me.
Thanks in advance!
Rebooting the phone appears to have resolved the issue.

[Q] Cant connect to exchange email account!

Hi everyone!
No matter how many times I try I can't get my g3 to connect to my work exchange email account.
I'm 100% sure all the info is correct. Works fine on my galaxy s4.
Anyone else having this issue? Might be a deal breaker for me if I can't get this working.

I just got a G3 today and had the same issue trying to setup my corporate email account. It looks like the email client is broken.
I downloaded "MailWise" from the play store and was up and running in a few minutes. I don't like having to use an additional email client, but at least it works.
Turns out my problem was related to my being an admin account on the exchange server. Had to enable permissions inheritance ok my account. Works now.

Oddly enough I tried it again this morning and it worked for me. I don't why I kept failing yesterday.
Exchange issues...
Hi all,
I got a very similar issue: I got my frame repaired (LG G3 case broke at microphone hole) with some potential upgrade to the latest software. Since then I can't access my exchange server anymore through the "built-in" email program! Access is still easy through all of my other devices (S3, Note 10.1)...
Only solution I found: The "Nine" app works very nicely (14 days free, US$9.99 therafter) and easily connects to the exachange server and leads to synchronization of emails, contacs, calendar, notes and tasks! So the problem lies within the Android 4.4.2 email program!
Let's cross fingers that Google is addressing / solving that issue soon!
Best regards, UP

Have you manually updated to the latest Google exchange apk? It's available in this post regarding the new Gmail 5.0 and Exchange 5.0 apks. http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...-support-material-design-landed-apk-download/
Keep in mind that there is an ever newer version of the Gmail 5.0 apk that has been released, so double check your version number before updating that specific apk. But the exchange apk is the latest that has been released.
These updates have allowed me to connect to my work's Exchange server through gmail. So not only does the exchange connection seem to be working, the gmail app has been updated to allow these types of accounts to be added. It's nice to have one gmail interface where I can access all my gmail and exchange (and Imap, pop, etc) email accounts.

Hi,
I updated the email and the exchange APK files - all POP/IMAP access works fine but the exchange server is not reachable (it is, however, reachable via the browser app) - so I am still locked into the NINE app that works pretty nicely (I wonder why Google is not able to provide a similarly easy and functional app...).
Best, UP
