[Q] yahoo mail issues - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, total noob here. I have been unable to attach photos to email using the yahoo app on my vibrant. It says it's attached, but never actually sends the pic. It works fine in gmail. Anyone else have this problem. Is this just a problem with the app, or related to the phone? Yahoo, also only sporadically sends me notifications of new emails, and often they are a day late.
Thanks

Mine does this too. It maybe that the files are too large, or at least thats what I suspect. I havent found a work around yet. I was considering a pic shrinking app to try that. Just havnt made it around to it yet. I'm too busy trying to figure out this Android Debug Bridge deal. I cant get it to work on the computer. Damn windows!

yeah I would think it might be the file size as well, except that gmail has no problem sending the same file.

Try K9 mail, I use it fire all my email needs. It even works for a regular hotmail account. NOTE: I don't think push works for Yahoo.

Maybe it sends alerts for spam?¿

Update,
If anyone still care's, I've been using mail droid lately from the market. So far so good. Its free. It downloads and sends pics. And also pushes e-mail notifications instantly, just like my old crack berry! I was actually starting to miss that. Fyi guys.

I myself have used K9 and have many issues not getting my mail, freezing, tried uninstalling but the same problem
Any other mail programs worth using?

Email app freeze

I use the native x10's Email App, for last couple of months. But for the last few days, the new mails are received but when i want to read the new mail it freezese on loading.
I have this same problem. It loads the subject but then just stuck getting the body of the message.

Same with me. It freezes and crashes way too often. I've just started using the gmail app itself. Works just fine for me, but for those who's email isn't at gmail it's a pain as there really aren't any good alternatives that I've seen anyways. I'm sure with the update in the coming month, it'll be fixed I hope!
This happen with my gmail account. The Gmail app works fine but the Email app keeps freezing when it tries ti load the email body.

Yup, I've had the same since the beginning of time... although I have noticed that it seems to only do it (or at least more often) when I'm on a WiFi connection, rather than through a 3G Data connection...

Adding other email accts to Gmail problem

So i got my Eris all flashed over and provisioned and everything seems to work great. Except the ONE thing that worked through the metroflash BEFORE i provisioned ANYTHING was the stock Email app. After i finished drunkenmojo's tutorial, email did not work. GMAIL works fine however it will not let me add my AOL mail account, i think its an old version of GMAIL? How would i update it? Currently im running XTRom4.6.5. Everything works great except the stock Email app which i really need for my AOL mail. I tried K9mail and it has the same problem. If i can add my AOL mail acct to Gmail ill be a happy camper...anybody got any ideas? I reflashed the ROM and re-provisioned even...still same problem with stock Email app. I beleive my Gmail version is 1.3 or 1.5 or something like that.
Get gmail. Sorry but in there lies your problem

I have Gmail. Not willing to fully covert to it at the moment. There has to be a fix for this or a way to at least have the Gmail app read my AOL mail acct info...
I guess aol isn't widely used enough. my suggestion is find a rom with a email client that is friendly with aol

K9mail is open source right? Maybe theres something that can be done within its code to get this to work, idunno.
For now im using ShangMail as i found it works. It doesnt work the way i want to (like the stock Mail app) but it lets me check my emails just fine so whatever.

Android E-Mail vs. GMail Apps

Am I the only person that hates the Gmail App from the market and would rather use the email app?
Right now I've got both a Samsung Galaxy Gio running CM7 and an LG Eclypse (aka MyTouch Q) running CM9 and for both of them I far prefer e-mail to gmail. Although they're very similar as far as the basic UI goes, I find that the gmail app has quite a few problems with attachments and images. Sometimes it will show me the text of an email for about 2 seconds and then go blank white. I have none of these problems with E-Mail.
I just want to see who else is like-minded on this... Thoughts? Comments?
I used to have the white display issues on both Gmail and Email.
I found that if I force closed the app and started it again, the problem disappeared.
I haven't had this problem again since moving to JB.

You'll love K9-Mail. It's based on the original Android email app.
I have to send attachments through my gmail app because my android mail has problems sending attachments via Microsoft Exhange Server....

I prefer android over gmail because I have gmail and yahoo email accounts, and would rather have a unified app.

GMail is a lot better. It groups all emails with same subject in 1 line. It's huge advantage
I like the android one, its a lot more simple. Gmail sometimes take forever to sync, I gave up on that thing a long time ago.

I've used K-9 Mail for almost as long as I've had Android devices and have not once looked back. Seriously, try it out if you haven't already.

Links in K9 email after OTA

After the OTA update the links in emails no longer work. I use K9 email client .
Anyone see the same thing? A fix anyone?
Also had a weird problem where long pressing a keyboard key would get both the primary and secondary characters.

I just tested, failed here too. It looks like it tries to open the page in the email message or something weird.
I don't know if I ever tried it before on this phone before the update ...
Works for me. Did your App Associations get messed up?
The web url app association is still internet.
I disabled the stock mail app and replaced it with K9. Did you guys do that or not?

i did not disable the stock app... just turned off notifications.
links work fine in my other apps such as txt messages and handcent...

Gmail/facebook not pushing notifications

Is it just me or is syncing not working? Just noticed this today
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
I don't have any issues with Facebook Sync, but I have with Gmail since the most recent update. As far as I can sort out, I think it is more of an issue with the Gmail app and is not specific to the S4. I think it has to do with the new tabs sorting emails. If it doesn't land in your primary inbox, you don't get notified. Which, as I am typing this, the logic of that is dawning on me....
