Hi, having a troublesome time setting up my Grand Valley State email on the Hero.
My school uses gmail, but the email address is as follows:
[email protected]
Not sure what server ports to use, ect.
Help is really appreciated!
Assuming your uni is just using some form of Google Apps for Domains, just use the standard gmail app with you full email address as your login, and your normal email password.
I use Gapps for Domains with my own domain, and that is all that I do. The only "problem" is that I have to use a standard Gmail account to purchase apps from the Market.
Regards,
Dave
Appreciate the tip,
I tried using the gmail app, no luck, and even setting up an IMAP account. Ive never had luck getting any of my colleges emails to work.
I even cleared out my gmail used to download apps and what not, and tried using my schools email, no luck.
hmmm, a little stumped. Has to be something with the server ports.
I see there is a note at the mail login screen for your Uni that says:
Please note: Temporarily, if you are using anything other than the Gmail Web e-mail interface, such as IMAP/POP/MOBILE, you will need to do a one-time password change in order for these services to work properly. If you are using IMAP/POP/MOBILE services please click on "Reset/Change Your Password." You can re-use your current password if you wish.

Have you tried this?

That did the trick.
That and I had imap.gvsu.edu for my incoming server instead of imap.gmail.com.
Thanks a bunch!
I'm having the same problem, I did the password reset, and set the imap server to imap.gvsu.edu with port 993 and 995, both didn't work. Can you give me full details on how to use it. I'm using the normal Email app on my droid x2, since im using my Gmail acount with the Gmail app.
i have the same problem too..

Hi,
This is driving me nuts.
I have installed qmail (q3u) and cannot get it to send mail.
I have the smtp server as smtp.t-email.co.uk which works fine with pocket outlook. The only difference I can see is that within pocket outlook it is set to authenticate with the outgoing username and password left blank.
qmail will not leave authenticate selected if the username and password are blank.
can anyone help?
thanks
I am using Qmail and cannot get my free Hotmail accounts to work. My other accounts do work. However, it may take me 2 - 4 times to try to log in before they connect. Hotmail will not connect. Any suggestions?
Sorry I cannot help you with your problem.

Hotmail, as has been pointed out in some of my mailer-related articles (for example the IMAP Bible at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1247&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 ), doesn't have POP3 access in its free version. You need to either subscribe to Hotmail Plus or use the built-in Messaging Hotmail account (which does have access to your mailbox - but no other mailer client on your PDA) coming with your Wizard.
well i've managed to fix my problem now. I needed to put the t-mobile smtp server address within the local host section on the smtp tab.
the only thing i can suggest for your problem is to check that the dial up option in qmail is set to the same gprs connection that you usually use.
Hello,
i just got my Hero and I'm now trying to setup my POP email account using HTC mail. I'm using the same settings which i had on my HTC Diamond but for some stupid reason i cannot setup the outgoing SMTP server on the Hero.
No matter what I do, i always get a
"550 Administrative prohibition" from the outgoing mail server.
However, i can receive email using the same account information, just sending does not work
Any hints?
have you turned authentication on for the outgoing server?
that error suggests you haven't and it is blocking you because of it!

Yes, i have. Actually, when i turn it off i do not get any error messages during account setup but then again i cannot send any mail in the HTC mail app
The above error occurs when the HTC mail setup prog tries to verfiy the settings with the smtp server.
Do you use a different username for your smtp server? That flatout refuses to work for me in HTC Mail, I would suggest you try K-9 a much better email app.

No, it's the same username (=email address).
ok, next one to try, i know on my server, the username is the email address bbut with a + instead of the @. Usually i don;t have to use it and the @ sign works, but some programs i have to use the +
could that be it?
Nope, sorry. That didn't do the trick as well.
Meanwhile i read on some other forums that it depends on the mail server, that's why some work and some won't. As it seems the HTC Mail app is sending a "script" (whatever) during account setup that is treated as malicious by the server and ignored therefore.
Hi all, i have a GE account email and i would like to sync it with my phone. I kept getting the "unable to connect" message when i tried with the "email" app. Does anyone knows of any app that could allow this to happen? I ask the IT guy at work and he told me that usually Blackberry has an app to allow this to happen.
Thanks in advance
yes, go to apps -- choose the Email icon. Then it will ask you to setup new email account, after you put email address and password, click on manually manage to provide info such as pop3, exchange, etc. You will have to do it sitting to ur IT guys so you can ask him how to fill out the settings.
Are you able to use Outlook web access at your job?. If so, try that address as your mail server in the email app. Also, make sure you put your login domain in with your user name, like mydomain\myuser

Make sure you check the box to accept all certs as well. If your company uses a self signed SSL cert, you wont be able to connect otherwise.
The Xoom manual says this:
Note: While you are using a Wi-Fi network, you
cannot access Yahoo Mail accounts. You can still
use your browser to see these accounts at
mail.yahoo.com.

It's an issue with the Yahoo Mail app and not the XOOM (or any other specific device)
I don't like to tell people what they should be using but why does anyone still use Yahoo mail? It is nothing but a SPAM magnet. And if you are using Android, you will have a much better experience using gmail. Just my opinion.
Yahoo was my first mail provider.Now it is just a secondary mail address, I think my fourth. But it still has some subscriptions on it.

Abandon it! Just let go...I was in your shoes 2 years ago with my first android and I never looked back. Gmail is awesome...unless you're from an internet blocking nation (coughchina) where yahoo is your only option....

I have a cool username on yahoo.com
Same like my hotmail.com, I have 3 characters username which is rare
So, for nostalgic sake, I keep them.
Anyway, can you just use the official Yahoo Mail app? Probably it is not optimized yet for HC.

Can't get Yahoo Mail to work as imap/pop3 on Galaxy S3. It appears Yahoo is forcing people to use the Yahoo Mail app. If you want to access Yahoo mail as imap/pop3 instead of using the Yahoo Mail App, then they are charing $19.99 a year for "Yahoo! Mail Plus" to grant pop3 access.
I tried the following imap settings:
Server
imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port
143
Also tried pop settings, no luck.
Doesn't work, won't connect to Yahoo servers. Does anyone know a solution? I have a feeling they really want you to upgrade to Yahoo! Mail Plus, but then again it still works on a Blackberry without upgrading.
I'm confused. Any solutions?
Yahoo on imap works for me with the following settings.
Incoming
IMAP server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
Security type - None
Port 143
Outgoing
SMTP server - smpt.mail.yahoo.com
Security type - None
Port 587

Only if you have their paid service can you get push email. The only reason gmail is push is because thats the way they designed the app and syncing.

Got it, I figured you needed the paid service. But something that perplexes me....Yahoo push email works on Blackberry devices without needing to pay for the upgraded Yahoo Mail Plus.
hmmmm
