I cant setup email account, getting imap not setup or invalid user name or password
If the email account is with Yahoo, have you tried the Yahoo application? The Yahoo account have always been finicky on Samsung phones for years now. They will work for a while on the stock email application for a few months and suddenly stop. Then the user has to set them up again.
BTW you never answered my questions in this discussion. Phone model? Email domain?
Which phone model? Which email domain?
delete the account & try setting it up in auto instead of manual.
I am retired microsoft mcse mcsd tried that already
Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone
so much for your ms mcse, i've setup 2 imap accounts on previous s3, s5 & current note5 by using the auto setup function.
Not in the last 72 hrs. you havent, unless you changed the security requirement on yahoo allowing lower security. thats why i am an mcse and an mcsd and you are not. yahoo has increased there security and over 15,000 people have contacted Samsung with the same problem, i talked to samsung and they have no fix as of yet, neither has apple. get with the times or quit your job
I'm confident you know this information but let's just verify they are correct. Incoming Server = imap.mail.yahoo.com, Port 993, Security SSL. Outgoing Server = smtp.mail.yahoo.com, Port 465 or 587, Security SSL/Authentication. Please keep us posted.
