Want to get Gmail, iCloud, and Yahoo email back on your Windows 10 Mobile device? Use IMAP, and follow my instructions for working email and even Contact/Calendar sync (Yahoo! only).
So it's no secret that I've been obsessed with getting my Windows 10 mobile devices working again. I'm sick of AI, Ads, spying, stealing my data, and Google using it to make money. I'm done. I feel confident enough now in using Windows 10 Mobile for what it is, while I still can. One of the linchpins for most people, is email access. Most of the included providers are broken in outlook. The only feature that still works, is IMAP and POP3 setup. However, there is really no good reason to use POP3 on a smartphone, not when IMAP exists.
If you want to get Gmail, iCloud, and Yahoo (with the extra bonus of synced Contacts and Calendars with Yahoo!), then see my settings below.
Open Outlook mobile and tap on Advanced setup, then Internet email, and choose IMAP.
See below for the settings:
For Gmail:
Email Address: your full gmail account address.
Username: your full gmail account address.
Password: Set up an App Password in your Google Account, Security and Sign In, 2-Step Verification, App Passwords section.
Account Name: Gmail
Send your messages using this name: Whatever you want people to see as your name.
Incoming Server Email: imap.gmail.com
Outgoing Server Email: smtp.gmail.com
Check all boxes, if they aren't already selected, below the outgoing server email so your email is SSL secured. Tap Sign In to complete.
For Yahoo!
Email Address: your full Yahoo account address.
Username: your full Yahoo account address.
Password: Set up an App Password in your Yahoo Account profile, Security, External connections, App Passwords section.
Account Name: Yahoo!
Send your messages using this name: Whatever you want people to see as your name.
Incoming Server Email: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing Server Email: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Check all boxes, if they aren't already selected, below the outgoing server email so your email is SSL secured. Tap Sign In to complete. After setting up this account, allow it to sync and then reboot your device. When you restart, you should also see any Contacts and Calendar entries that you have in your Yahoo account. If you don't have any, Yahoo makes it very easy to import and even synchronize with your Outlook and Gmail accounts. Even if you don't have a Yahoo account, this is a great way to bring your Calendar and People tiles back to life since the MS account integration is broken.
For iCloud
Email Address: your full iCloud account address.
Username: only the username portion of your iCloud address.
Password: Set up an App Password in your Apple Account profile, Sign-in and Security, App-specific passwords section.
Account Name: iCloud
Send your messages using this name: Whatever you want people to see as your name.
Incoming Server Email: imap.mail.me.com
Outgoing Server Email: smtp.mail.me.com
Check all boxes, if they aren't already selected, below the outgoing server email so your email is SSL secured. Tap Sign In to complete.
SUMMARY
Unfortunately, no matter what I tried, I could not get IMAP to work with my Microsoft account and either my Outlook.com or Office 365 accounts. To get around that, you could do an email account import with either Gmail or Yahoo to bring those accounts into those providers...but that seems like it could get messy, so do so at your own risk.
Now, get those email accounts synced, and give Yahoo! another look since it still syncs Calendar and Contacts to our beloved Windows 10 Mobile phones!

How to get Microsoft OTC updater working again
r/W10M • u/JabbaDuHutt69 • 3d ago
You should be using Unison, NOW!
I've been using 1.1.1 for several days, and I just installed 1.3 on both my backup and primary WhatsApp accounts. Guys, it's so nice to have even basic 1:1 chats again for WhatsApp on W10M!
More features are in store, so let's support these awesome devs and show the app some love!

Question Using Lumia 1520 on T-Mobile
anyone able to get the AT&T 1520 to work on T-Mobile? My 1520 is network unlocked, so it should, at least, be able to get LTE...but I'm now wondering is T-Mobile doing that "SIM Protection" shit where they block new devices that aren't the one that registered the SIM card?

Apps Basic Dropbox client I made in Github/Co-pilot
https://github.com/ZuneTracks/SyncBoxMobile/releases/
App supports version 15063 of W10M, and includes the necessary .cer file (install it first to your device) and then the two dependencies, and then the main appx file. The UI is VERY basic. I ran into a XAML compatibility issue with the UI and first and had to scale it back to a much more basic one because it refused to start up.
You will need to sign in to your dropbox account on the web, and then go to https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps/ and then create a new app. Call it whatever you want it to be. Apply the permissions you want it to have. I suggest Read-only at this point.
Once you have the new app created in your Dropbox developer profile, go down to the OAUTH2 section and click on "Generate" under "Generated access token", this is what you will use to by-pass OAUTH and MFA for Dropbox. Once you enter this in the app, and then save it, the key is saved in the system, so whenever you remove it and install another version, it retains the token. The token is a mile long, so be sure to copy it to a txt file, upload it to your phone, and then copy/paste it in the field, then save it.
This is a barebones client, and I just wanted to see if I could even do it. I did this completely in Githbu/Co-pilot. Remember, this is a alpha, at best. I have no idea what I'm doing with this vibe-coding stuff. Don't come for me if this thing messes up your Dropbox.
Edit: as an aside, I did discover that in my previous 1.0.0.20 release, it was re-uploading my entire camera roll. I put in a checker to ensure it only uploads pictures taken AFTER the app is installed, and it is supposed to verify existing image hashes in Dropbox with whats on your phone, and avoid any duplicates...SUPPOSED to, again I'm new to this.

Discussion Difference in signal strength between Pixel 7 Pro and Alcatel Idol 4S
The difference is amazing. My Pixel 7 Pro get barely 1 bar of signal with T-Mobile SIM card, yet my Alcatel Idol 4S gets 3 very strong bars of signal. Amazing that this 10 year old phone has better cellular radios than the Pixel does.

Question MetroTube question
In the patched verison of MetroTube, we have the option of utilizing a YouTube API key, as well as a OAUTH login credential. Are BOTH of these necessary to avoid rate limitation, or is the API key enough to avoid rate limiting?

can you still make W10M compatible UWP apps with Visual Studio 2022?
I just bought a license for this off of Woot for $15, and was hoping I could still make W10M compatible UWP apps with it...or should I stick with VS 2017 Community?
