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?

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?

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.
I need to access my companies e-mail server using a VPN connection. I have listed the name of the mail server in the list of expections for which the VPN connection should be used. However when I try to send and receive mails the VPN connection is not automatically established and naturally it fails to connect to the mail server. Also if I manually establish the VPN connection it will automatically disconnect (to try and use the regular 3G Internet connection) as soon as I try to send and receive mails. What am I doing wrong here? How can I get this to work?
I have an HTC Touch HD if that is of any help knowing. I hope some of the wizards here can help me with this problem. Please ask questions if you need further information in order to suggest a solution.

Exchange ActiveSync & MMS
Hi Asik,
I have the same problem with MMS and Exchange Sync. When you have set MMS to automatically download, the X1 will try a few times to download the MMS without notifying me and after 8 days (in my network), I get the message that the MMS timed out and I'm no longer able to get it - VERY BAD
If you set the MMS to download manually, you will get notified that a new MMS is there! You can then click on "Download". The X1 then shows a message that it needs to disconnect Internet and connect to the MMS APN. You have to say "Yes" on the right Menu Now! Then, the MMS gets downloaded and afterwards, Internet gets reconnected for Exchange ActiveSync. Not very beautiful, but at least a workaround.
Does anybody knows of a better way?
Ok, so its not just me that have this problem....
I also use the above metod to get my MMS and it sucks that i cant get them auto to me...
Help us out here guys... this cant be the way to do it or ???

Exchange ActiveSync & MMS
Hi Asik,
another solution would be to use the same APN for Internet and MMS. Unfortunately, this does not work for me and probaly for most of us because:
My Provider has seperate APN's for MMS and Internet:
With the Internet APN, I cannot access the MMSC to download or send messages.
With the MMS APN, I can access both, Internet and MMSC, but it get's disconnected automatically after receiving an MMS or after about 2 Minutes. With this, ActiveSync would reconnect every 2 Minutes and this would be quite expensive, because a new 20kB Block would be charged and never used bevor the next disconnect.
The Telco's should provide an Internet APN that doesn't disconnect and also allows to connect the MMSC.
I think its the same for my provider...Telia Sweden
Hi folks,
First post here, I've had my G2 (Hero) for nearly a week and think it's amazing, but I have encountered a problem.
My Hotmail sends and receives just fine whether I am connected by WiFi or 3G, but my pop3 email will send and receive if I'm on WiFi but it will only
receive if I'm out and about on 3G. It's a bloody nuisance and I can't
think of any reason that would be the case.
Has anyone else found this?
Cheers!

It seems like the SMTP server that you're using is not accessible using the 3G network. ISPs commonly block access to their SMTP servers from other networks. E.g., if my regular ISP is ISPA (to which I connect using WiFi) and my mobile operator is ISPB (to which I connect using 3G), I cannot access ISPA's SMTP server when I am connected through ISPB and vice versa.
The most likely cause of your problem is that your POP provider's SMTP-server doesn't accept message relaying from the addresses your phone is assigned when connecting over the phone network. Many providers permit unauthenticated relaying from addresses in their own network. In that case, make sure that the outgoing server (SMTP) for your POP-account is configured with authentication (username/password). Encryption (TLS or SSL) is also recommended. If that isn't enough, contact your POP-provider and ask if they at least can enable global access to authenticated relaying over SSL (port 465) or authenticated SMTP relaying in general.
Ah, I wonder if this is what the girl in the T-Mobile shop was going on about when she asked if I wanted to pay another £5 a month for email? Perhaps they have, as you have suggested nerfed the email capability over 3G. That would be a proper nuisance, I've not had a network do that to me before
Seems a bit of a nerve to make you pay for unlimited internet/data and then charge extra for email!

That's not the issue. Any half decent server administrator makes sure that his/her servers do not relay messages on behalf of the entire planet. However, when done properly the provider will have a system that allows relaying for authenticated clients, and will provide all the information their customers need to set up their clients accordingly.
If your POP mail provider, presumably your ISP, cannot supply authenticated SMTP access (check this first!), you have a few realistic options (I'm sure there are more!)
Buy access to an authenticated SMTP server (e.g. http://www.authsmtp.com/mobile/index.html) which will allow you to send email via SMTP regardless of how you are connected.
Use an intermediate email service like Gmail to collect your POP3 email and send replies via Gmail.
Your cellular provider will have their own SMTP gateway - you can change your email settings to use their SMTP gateway when connected via cellular data, but I guess you will have to do this manually every time you want to switch between cellular and WiFi.
Note that this isn't a fault with Hero or Android - it's your mail provider!

My ISP is Blueyonder (well, Virgin now). I just think it's strange that they should be rejecting the smtp connection as I have set up these two pop3 accounts on every mobile I've had for the last 10 years and they've worked perfectly (a Siemens, a few Sony-Ericssons and a Nokia and that's on Virgin Mobile, Orange and 3 networks). It would be a shame if I was limited to using my Hotmail for everything from now on.
I'll drop Virgin customer services a line and see if there is some way they can do this magical authentication thing of which you speak.
