How to Setup Yahoo! Mail in Android Device

 

If you want to read your Yahoo! mails in your Android, you can either use the official mail App or you can use the POP3 option. The advantage of using POP3 is that you can combine your mails from other mail account (e.g. Hotmail) into one inbox! Here is the guide:-

1. Open the email app.

 

2. Click on the physical Menu button on your phone to bring up the menu. Select “Add account“.

 

3. In the Email Service Provider screen, select Others.

4. Enter your Yahoo! Mail address and password. Check the “Send email from this account by default option” if you want to send email using this account by default. You can click Next and let the mail app to detect the settings. But in this guide, I’ll set it up using the manual method. So, click on “Manual setup” button.

5. In the Incoming server settings screen, fill in your username (full email address) and password. The POP3 server is pop.mail.yahoo.com and the port is 995. For security type, select SSL.

 

Depending on your preference, you can either keep the email in the web or delete it after you downloaded the email into your phone.

 

Never – Never delete email in Yahoo! server. (You can still access it from Yahoo! Mail web)
When I delete from Inbox – Delete the email in Yahoo! server when you deleted it in your Android phone.
When I retrieve from Server – Delete the email in Yahoo! server after the email is downloaded into your phone. You won’t be able to view the email in the web anymore!

6.  Next, enter the details of the SMTP server. This is the server that you’ll use for sending emails. The SMTP server is smtp.mail.yahoo.com, port is 465, security type is SSL and check the Require sign-in checkbox. Then enter your username (full email address) and password. Click Next.

 

7. Select the options that fit your preference and click Next.

 

8. Give the account a name (this name will show in your Inbox) and the name you want to use when sending email. Then click done.

 

9. Now you can read your Yahoo! Mail using your Android smartphone!

How to Setup Hotmail in Outlook 2007 by Outlook Connector

There are two methods that you can use to setup your Hotmail account in Outlook 2007. The method that I’m showing in this post is by using the Outlook Connector. The Outlook Connector is a plugin for Outlook 2003 and 2007. The plugin will enable you to retrieve your mail from your Hotmail account using Outlook. Please note that this method will only work with Microsoft Office Outlook, and not Outlook Express!

Step 1: The first step that you need to do is to download the Outlook Connector from Microsoft website. You can get it here: Microsoft Office Outlook Connector (Choose the OutlookConnector.exe at the bottom of the page)

Step 2: After you downloaded the installer, run it and follow the steps in the wizard. It should be pretty straight forward.
Step 3: Once the installation is complete, open your Outlook. You should be able to see the “Outlook Connector” in your menu bar.

Step 4: Click on the “Outlook Connector” menu and select “Add New Account“

Step 5: You should be seeing the window in the screen shot above. Fill in your Hotmail/Windows Live email address and the password in the field provided. The name field is for you to specify the name you want to be displayed when you send an email. After you completed all the fields, click OK.

Step 6: After adding the email account, you need to restart Outlook. Once you restarted your Outlook, you can start using your Hotmail account using Outlook! It will take some time for Outlook to download all your emails to your PC, so please be patience.
The other method that you can use to download your mail to Outlook is by using POP3. I will post another guide for that. But, there are some other features that you can use if you use the Outlook Connector. These features are managing your contacts and calendar using Outlook! You can’t do that if you are using POP3. The disadvantage of using the Connector plugin is that it only works with Outlook and not other email client. And it is only compatible with Outlook 2003 and above. In my opinion, if you have Outlook installed, go ahead and use the connector. If not, you can still use the POP3 method.

How to Set Your MS Outlook to Auto Send and Recive Mail

Microsoft Outlook will check for new emails or send any emails in your outbox every 30 minutes. There might be a very important email coming in and need your action, I would say immediately but since new emails will only come in every 30 minutes, it might be too late for you to react on the email received.

You can actually change the setting to read new emails from as frequent as every 1 minute to maximum of every 120 minutes.

1. Go to Tools menu, select Option....
2. On the Options dialog box, go to Mail Setup tab and click Send/Recieve... button.




3. On the Send/Recieve Groups dialog box, change the value (default is 30) for Schedule an automatic send/receive every ... minutes field under Setting for group "All Accounts" (or any other account you may have in your Group Name field.




4. Once done, click Close and then click OK to close the Options dialog box.

Don't set it to 1 minute of your internet connection speed is poor. Maybe you can reduce it to 5 minutes.

How to Import Multiple vCards in Outlook 2007 and above Version

There has been a lot of said and done about this issue, but fact is Outlook would still not allow you to import multiple vCards: yes, even the latest version 2010. I found this especially disturbing when I attempted to import my iPhone contacts to Outlook. All I could do was to import the vCard files I exported from my iPhone to my PC one by one : try that for 500 contacts!

However, using a 3rd party tool to export my iPhone contacts, I found a quicker method to import multiple vCard contacts into Outlook for free using your iPhone.

1. Have your iPhone ready, download and run the following app: import iPhone contacts, connect your iPhone to your computer and import all of your vCard files from your computer to your iPhone by dragging/dropping the entries directly to the main program window

Note: to set the newly imported contacts from the contacts you already have on your iPhone, you can create a new contact group on your iPhone and drag/drop the vCard entries there. To set up a new group using the Contacts program, click on the “+” sign in the Groups pane

You can later delete the newly-imported contact entries if you wish to.

2. Now that all the information from the vCard entries has been successfully loaded to your iPhone in the form of iPhone contacts, select all the iPhone contact entries originating from your vCard files and hit the “Export selected” button

3. Navigate to the folder where you would normally have your Windows Contacts and hit OK. In Windows 7, it is normally found here:

C:\Users\YourUsername\Contacts

Note: if you are on Windows XP, navigate to your Windows Address book instead which is found here:

C:\Documents and Settings\Your Username\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book\

4. Upon prompt by the program, select “Windows Contacts”

5. This will make sure that your vCard contact entries are now loaded directly into your Windows Contacts in the form of *.contact entries

Importing multiple contacts to Outlook:

With Outlook 2007 and 2010, it is easy to import all your Windows Contacts to Outlook at once. To do so:

1. In Outlook 2007 go to File > Import and Export; in Outlook 2010, go to File > Open > Import

2. You will see the “Import and Export Wizard” load. Select “Import internet Mail and Addresses” and click Next

3. Next, choose “Outlook Express 4.x, 5.x, 6.x or Windows Mail”

4. Make sure to only have the “Import Address book” option selected and deselect the rest

5. From the next screen select “Do not import duplicates” and click “Finish”

6. All your contacts originating from vCard entries are now successfully imported in your Outlook

This is one of the easier methods I found to import multiple vCards into Outlook via your iPhone and a third party iPhone contacts exporter tool.
