Nexus not playing nice with yahoo mail.

Well I sort of know a solution: For over a year now I've been using the Gmail app for all of my email accounts, even the pop3 accounts. It puts all email in one app, it saves on battery as the emails are pushed to the phone when they are received by Google and it works right all the time!!

Using Gmail as your own personal push mail server

Sorry if this isn't the answer you are looking for. I just never use the native email app and thought I would offer what I can. If nothing else, this gets your post back up near the top of the list.

Good luck.

 

I think my Gmail and Yahoo Mail are set to push every email real time. I would like to set my phone to only push email every couple hours or so... to try to save battery.

Any ideas how to do this? WIll the suggested combined email work for that ?

Thanks

 

It seems the most recent version of yahoo mail sucks. I haven't updated, and I've had none of the issues you're describing.

 

dont use the yahoo app. just set it
manually in the email app that comes with the os

oh ok. maybe thats the direction i need to go. I like the yahoo app, I think it works pretty good. I just can't find any place where i can change the "Sync Frequency". Thats too bad it isn't built in to the app or into ICS.

 

the standard email app works ten times better and has the sAme features. you will like it better. i can send you the config settings or link maybe

yeah, if you can send me config settings and link that would be great. I will give it a shot.

 

I'm having a problem with the standard email app. I have 3 accounts config'd to my Nexus and would like to also view these emails on my pc. I'm using the IMAP settings but am "loosing emails" on the phone. This is the same setup that worked for years on my old blackberry. On the Nexus, I try to access them from the "Inbox" folder on each account or the "Combined View" and they're not there the next day. I found that my gmail account emails get moved out of the "Inbox" folder into the "All Mail" folder automatically. This happens every day for mail from the previous day and has also happened in the middle of the day for the day's current emails. I also have a Comcast account that loses the message out of the "Inbox" folder, but they aren't available in any other phone folder. I disabled my 3rd account from the pc and don't lose any emails from that account's "Inbox". Anybody else having similar issues? The "Combined View" only seems to join multiple accounts "Inbox" folders. Does anyone know if it can combine other folders?

 

Use these on the pics. Mine works great. Just plugin your info. Easy as counting to 3. Lol

Okay. I setup my Email app like you mentioned. Set auto sync to be every 1 hour. I figure I can manual refresh easy enough if i want to check. The only difference from you screen shot settings is in the "Outgoing Settings" . they put android at the beggining automatically. i just left it that way. do you think i need to change it? Example: android.smtp.mail.yahoo.com.

I hope this significantly helps with battery life. I have also decided to keep my phone at 3G, while using wifi at home. I will manually turn on the 4G when i need it. ... I gotta find away to get more battery life than what i've been getting. maybe rooting will help once i do that.

thanks again!

***EDIT .. by the way, i uninstalled the yahoo mail app. But i can't uninstall the Gmail app. so i tried to go into the gmail settings and turn off "auto sync" . i think it worked. but am wondering if that will keep gmail from updating "every 1 hour" do the "Email" app. ?
