I have a problem using my messaging on my I-mate JAMin and Telstra. I can receive all my emails when connected to a Wi-Fi network, but whenever I try to send an email through Wi-Fi I keep getting "Invalid address".
Now I can use GPRS to send emails through Messaging and it also works when I'm synchronising with a computer.
I can send an email if I log onto Telstra Webmail and send it that way, but I shouldn't have to.
Telstra says if GPRS works then there must be a setting in the Prophet to get fixed.
Anybody out there know a fix?
Rod.

I am connected to bt broadband I have set up my Internet & out going mail OK but I only recive incoming mail irregularly. I have typed in the incoming box POP.BTCONNECT.COM & also POP3.BTCONNECT.COM but with limited success any one in the same boat!!! Could anyone confirm the best method of pop for BT Broadband?
unless you have a computer connected to the network which run a mail server pulling your mails down as they come and let your xda get it from that insted of your ips's mail server then no
not sure what bt broadband is though
Hi, I hope you guys can help me.
I've had my MDA vario for about a week now, and ever since I got it, I cannot for the life in me get it to connect to my IMAP server using the built-in email client.
I done lots of testing stuff, which basically comes down to this:
networking/wifi is connected and working. I got an IP address from my DHCP server
I can ping the server's IP and receive information back
I can connect to the IMAP server using Qmail
but When I use the exact same connection details in the built in client, it doesn't work saying "unable to connect to the incoming mail server. Verify that your login information is correct, then try again to send and receive mail."
The other strange thing is, If I try connect to the mail server from outside my network, e.g. from my work's internet connection, entering my external IP, it works fine.
I've also checked out the server logs, and it doesn't seem to register a connection AT ALL.
so in short, the problem only occurs when connecting to my mail server from my local network, using the built in client.
Any ideas? is there a log file(s) I can check for any details of why it's not working?
I look forward to your replies.
Well this one has got me well and truly stumped!!! Hopefully one of you guys can help out with this....
I have set up my e-mail, standard pop3 account... I can access and send mails through my ISP mail via GPRS, 3G, HSPDA no problem... I can even send and recieve mails when using WiFi at work no problem, however I get the standard windows mobile 'Messages cannot be downloaded to your mobile device...' timeout error ONLY when trying to conect to mail through my home WiFi network or when internet sharing through activesync... I have no problem accessing the web at home using WiFi or Internet Sharing just e-mail... and just to make things even more unclear any other PC or laptop has no problem at all with my e-mail when connected to my home WiFi network!!!
Any ideas, hints, tips or suggestions greatly appreciated
Have an Orange Touch 3G. Setup my ntlworld pop/smtp server settings as I have on lots of other devices. I can receive email just fine but can't send anything. Help! I've just given my old E650 away otherwise I'd probably just send the phone back. I've literally tried everything. The smtp server definitely doesn't need authentication, and I'm trying it from an NTL internet connection. Error message is deeply unhelpful, just says it can't send message(s) and to check authentication.
Ok I think its because of the Unique service on Orange. It seems to be refusing to use the Wifi connection to send emails (or do anything else). What the hell? Is there no way of disabling this thing short of having to flash a hooky ROM on it?
When I click on send/recieve, the phone always switches to 3G to collect email. Even when WIFI is active. No other application does this, they all are happy to use Wifi (including that weather thing).
In fact if I manually disable 3G, activate Wifi and then try to collect mail, there is an error. Is this HTC 'protecting' their customers from doing a 'send' in case they don't have smtp rights...?? A bit annoying when you have authenticated smtp set up specifically for this situation.
So... anyone know how can I get the phone to simply use WIFI for email send/receive if available and otherwise turn on the 3G? For roaming this is quite important...

Have you got the DNS server set correctly in the WiFi settings? When I'd failed to do this my HD Mini insisted on connecting to 3G all the time. Once I realised and corrected this, I can send and receive email on WiFi with no problems.
I assume you connect to the WiFi router before starting the email send/receive process? Just a thought!

I can update the weather, browse the internet etc - all over Wifi with 3G turned off. But as soon as I do a send/receive, it wants to use the 3G. As far as I can see, the connection settings are correct (else I could do those other things) but its interesting to hear that you are able to send/receive over Wifi.

Yes - thanks for checking! I also have checked that the wifi is active and working (e.g. by browsing to a webpage in Opera) before the send/receive - but it still keeps switching on the 3G when I do this.
I use Gmail on my HD Mini, via POP. I can't think of anything useful to suggest really.
Only:
Is the mail service you are trying to connect to available via WiFi? Is there any chance that the mail service requires use of the 3G modem for authentication purposes? If you were using your mobile network email service, it might only provide this via the 3G service.
Is the POP3 protocol set to only use the 3G (GPRS) modem? I think this might be found under Settings/Menu/All Settings/Connections/Manage Existing Connections.
Good luck!
