I use wireless at home, wireless at work, and gprs otherwise. These obviously use separate smtp servers to send mail. How can I set this up???

You can set the outgoing smtp mail server on each account. Just set up multiple accounts.
yeuch! I see microsoft thought long and hard about that one

How else do you imagine your email is going to be sent using another account? That isn't the fault of your device, it is the way SMTP works. Most smart companies have Relay turned off on their servers anyway. Yes they could set it up to allow Relay on authentication, but from a useability standpoint I believe that setting a specific SMTP server per account is the smart way to go.
well, I'm not sure about SMTP in other places, but in NL it's often a case of whether your ISP-assigned IP address belongs to the same company running the SMTP.
E.g. when I'm up north in the country, I'm using wifi on an @home network, and need to set my smtp to mail dot home dot nl . But when I'm back at home, I'm going through Casema, and need to set smtp to smtp dot casema dot nl.
I *could* set up two accounts, but then all my e-mail is separate as well. Instead, I just change that little variable, and I'm all set for the duration of my stay at either location.
LOL! I have the same issue! I want to manage mutiple SMTP servers but the only way appears to be manualy changing the setting.
Surley somebody could write a small app with perhaps common SMTP servers and the ablility to add your own server settings and then poke it into the smtp setting?
I'm not a programmer but I don't think it''l be that difficult? All you would need is a selection screen od smtp servers and then get the app to change the setting???
Any programmers up for that challenge? :shock:
multiple smtp servers - solution
Hi Guys
The only thing I see for this problem is to use server which does not check where are you connecting from. Something like www.inmail.sk
In this case I use for all my account different pop3 receive server, but all have the same smtp (smtp.inmail.sk). Just every account using they own email address. This way the emails will be send as they would be from different accounts.
Of cause you have to get one inmail account. Which is free anyway.

The better solution is to find out if one of your email providers supports smtp authentication.
As someone mentioned earlier most providers block "relaying" -- sending email while connected to a network other than their own -- so people can't use their server for spam.
Luckily, some of the smarter email providers also provide a solution to this problem -- authentication, which just means to provide your username and password. Then you can use their server no matter what network you happen to be attached to whether it's gprs, wifi, or whatever.
You can find out whether your smtp server supports authentication by telnetting to it from your desktop computer.
At a command prompt type
telnet yoursmtpserverhere 25
then type
ehlo yoursmtpserverhere
If it returns something like AUTHENTICATION or AUTH PLAIN TEXT, you're golden.
Use that server for all of your email accounts and enable authentication in each account by going to the last email account set up screen and clicking Options. On the second Option screen, check the box "Server requires authentication".
Then click on Use Seperate Settings and enter the username and password for the email account of the smtp server you're using.
Now you'll be able to send email no matter what network you are connected to.
Ok, device with the new JasJar rom
Vodafone sim, data enabled
configured for GPRS on the UK "internet" APN
conn manager enabled for direct push
activesync set to "when emails arrive"
exchange SP2 with Direct Push enabled
side by side with my blackberry, it's ages before the JJ picks up the email
what am I missing?
Could it be anything to do with the heartbeat settings that your Exchange server is configured with?
No, it's at its defaults and I've set the new HTTPS timeout for ISA.
Anyone?
Does ActiveSync work if you ask it to sync manually?
If not, does OMA work? (https://servername.domain.com/oma)

I can retrieve email fine, but not send email via my gmail / messaging settings. It gives me an error message telling me to check my connection settings when trying to send in my outbox.
Any ideas?
If your service provider is ATT/cingular try using cwmx.com as your outgoing pop server.

Interesting...using fido however.
not sure whether gmail supports authenticated smtp... but that seems likely to be your problem...usually you have to use providers smtp address its something like gprs.fido.ca or internet.fido.ca
I'm assuming you can receive but not send right?
yes I can receive but not send...I've tried both smtp addresses but same error. Receiving isn't perfect either...
weird, mine works perfect for me. (im an AT&T customer)
I use pop.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com. all ssl is enabled.
I also use as my username recent:[email protected]
using the recent: preface enables the emails to remain on the device between syncs.
Settings for T-MobileWeb
If anyone has it on Tmobile US using the el cheapo 5.99 plan... you have to:
1. go to your mytmobile page and set it in your tzone -> email settings (pop.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com).
2. in your phone... set both smtp and pop to "myemail.t-mobile.com"
3. under password... use your email acct password... not your tmobile password
4. set internet to whatever you get internet on.
5. voila... email
I've just downloaded the gmail midlet...so now I couldn't care less about windows messaging!
I haven't had any problems sending with gmail.
Go to the gmail.com website, log in, and follow the directions for setting up outgoing email. You'll find that it will magically work once you follow the directions.
You can, of course, also use the midlet as you have discovered. I've found that the midlet is a bit flakey but perhaps you'll have better luck.

I just did the official 6.5 upgrade on my phone. I can set up my gmail and other email accounts fine, but when i try to add my @msn.com account, it skips the POP3 and SMTP setup and just opens Opera and brings me to mobile.live.com.
I had it working on the old 6.1 fine. anybody else has this problem?
I always get this with all phone and ROM I used. I use the following workaround :
1. Configure your account with [email protected] (same for hotmail)
2. Perform normal setup (pop is pop3.live.com and smtp is smtp.live.com)
3. After configuration edit your account and change [email protected] by [email protected]
4. Don't forget in the smtp page to go in advance server setup and enable SSL for incoming and outgoing email and select the correct network connection.
thanks, but it was a hassle just to set up microsoft's own email on its own software
you may just setup your msn messager and select the sync email option
My outgoing mail server requires authentication (the incoming server doesn't). But it just won't work. I'm connecting through Wi-Fi and using the exact same settings as in Outlook. I always get the same error message (see screenshot).
I am entering the mail settings in Start/E-mail/Menu/Options not in Mail/Account Settings - which does not remember the authentication username and password (this is discussed in another thread).
This is driving me nuts. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
Does anyone know anything about outgoing e-mail authentication?
Yes I have this problem to can any won help to shed some light on this subject
Im using about 20th ROM on my HD2 and there is no problem with SMTP authentication. Just only set CORRECT SMTP server name and login name and password. And it does work on GPRS, HSDPA, Active Sync, WIFI without problems... I dont understand what is your problem...

Thanks Petulinek,
I am using the exact server name, login name and password that I am using in Outlook. I have checked it many times but it is still not working. I have tried it on Active Sync and WIFI.
On your screenshot is strange message. I think it try email send via data connection, not via AS. Is in your Active sync set that connection connects to internet?

Yes, I can use Active Sync to access the Internet. I can receive e-mail and browse and remote desktop etc. but not send e-mail.
On email settings, page with SMTP server - Advanced server settings - is in network connection "The internet"?

Petulinek,
Do you know what type of Authentication is supported by HTC Mail?
My server supports PLAIN/PLAIN TEXT, CRAM-MD5 or DIGEST-MD5.
