Have setup my HD2 on t-mobile using the automated wizard, i can browse the internet fine using opera, but each time i want to check my IMAP account i get the following message: "Cannot connect with current settings".
If i switch to WiFi it works perfectly, so my email settings are correct. And my internet settings on 3G are correct as i can browse the internet, but for some reason i cant download email over IMAP. Is anybody else having similar issues?
Nb. I'm in the UK.
thanks.
Try turning off the proxy server in connection settings.
Thanks that worked a treat, so much for auto-configuration
sorry if I post it here, but I have an issue with my web.de imap account, wich is that it only shows me messages back till wednesday when I got my phone and set up the account. all messages prior to that date are not shown. neither in my trash, nor in any other folder. and I accidentally deleted a message and it is still there according to my web.de account, but my hd2 doesn't show the message anymore. is there something wrong with the way the hd2 flags messages in imap?
i actually rang up TMobile technical support to ask them what the proxy was for and why it is added in the auto config settings. they had no idea. they could only tell me what it was supposed to be, not why.
Seems like most programs prefer not having the TMobile proxy set.
Maybe there isn't any proxy necessary and it's a problem with the htc mail app itself. see my case above, that's surely not web.de problem but something wrong with the htc mail app. but I can't figure out what and why.

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 can not use any of my email accounts (gamail, yahoo) on my phone,
when I press send/recive appears message:
cannot connet with current cooneting setting, if you want to change go on connection settings
but my internet (Explorer or Opera) is working perfectly
if anyone have a clue please save me
Did you set up the incoming/outgoing servers manually?
I'm not sure if it's the case but I registered at izymail.com and then used the izymail servers and it works a charm.
How about you try that?
E-Mail issue to be solved!
What providers (GSM and mail) do you use?
I do have the same problem and several others posted exactly this issue in several other threads.
This definitely is a problem which hasn't been solved.
Isn't there a charming developer out there who knows how to solve this
By the way, recommending to change the e-mail provider does not really help and obviously not solve the issue!
Did you choose a connection in Email setup? My Dual asks me which connection (internet, business, vpn etc.) to use. It's in the window for smtp server under advanced options. There you can select the correct setting. Maybe you have the wrong in there.
Cheers, Dennis
Maybe there's a proxy set in your 3g connection. I have vodafone and is automatically setups a proxy, which causes email and live messenger problems. Just disabling the proxy in connection settings worked for me.
No Proxy
I figured something strange out. If I disconnect the 3G connection in the Comm manager, then press send/receive the device once connects with the e-mail server and even downloads the headers. As soon as I want to download an e-mail I get the same message again: "Could not connect to server, check your inbox account login-information"!
That drives me insane! If I disconnect again from 3G and then press send/receive it works again - JUST ONCE.
It's the same for POP or IMAP.
Would be nice if somebody could help out.
Thanks in adavance
I have had exactly the same problem since I installed the Mary 6 ROM on my touch dual and have the problem with two different email accounts so It's definitely not an issue with those settings.
When you install the new ROM it auto detects your network (I'm on T- mobile UK) and sets up all of the connections automatically so I'm guess the problem lies there.
Does anyone know where I can verify that these settings are correct?

I had the same problem on t-mobile uk after flashing the new official 6.1 rom.
I solved it by disabling the proxy server START-SETTINGS-CONNECTIONS-CONNECTIONS-MANAGE EXISTING CONNECTIONS-PROXY SETTINGS. Internet access still works I also did a hard reset after flashing the rom, but that may not be relevant.
Hi there,
I have set up my POP3 email account on my HD (though have set to leave messages on server) and it works fine on Wifi (checks, downloads, sends, etc). However when I'm not on Wifi and I'm on TMobile data (HSDPA, 3G, GPRS, etc), I get an error when I try send and receive. It comes up with "error synchronising" and a popup appears at the top saying...
"Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap settings." If I go into settings, I get the list of connections, but can't see anything in there that needs changing. I'm on T-Mobile in the UK, and it lists "T-Mobile Internet" and "My Work Network". If I go into the T-Mobile Internet settings everything seems fine in there. And it all works when I go into the web browser, or Youtube app, etc.
Its almost as if the mail app doesn't have access to the data connection unless its over Wifi. Is there something I'm missing, or an area where you can tell it when to use the data connection? I've even tried manually enabling the data connection through the comm manager (rather than it starting when an app needs it), then switching to mail and clicking send/receive - still the same error.
Thanks,
Dave
Can anyone help me? I'm not sure whether its connected but I also have a problem where another programme (Lotus Notes Traveller client) doesn't seem to be able to get access to the internet connection on the phone, regardless of whether its Wifi, 3G or anything else.
Thanks.
this may sound odd but bare with me! i can get on the net and emails but my hd would not check emails when in standby no matter what i did. I then realised i couldnt send or receive mms messages! all the settings seemed ok. Anyway in my mms connection i changed the wap setting to 1.2 from 2 and my mms worked! But since then my phone now checks email in standby! I didnt realise they were connected but may be worth checking.
Gav
How do you change that wap setting. I have the same problem, but on T-Mobile USA
Hi,
I found I could sync emails using Wi-Fi ok but got the dreaded "failed to sync" message when using the GPRS method. I am also on T-Mobile.
The problem is T-mobile only let's you send emails using there smtp.
You need to go into the email options menu and keep clicking through the settings until you get to the send using smtp box, here you need to type smtp.t-email.co.uk
This will send mail using the T-mobile network.
Please post back if this helps
Grez
Thank you - works perfectly for me! Good call!
Hi
Hoping someone can help me!
My Touch HD has been working fine up until yesterday, and now for some reason it is no longer sending emails. I know the settings are right because it was working fine until yesterday.
I have done a hard reset, and installed an alternative ROM but still no luck. My email server itself is working fine.
Any ideas please, it's driving me mad!
Thanks in advance.
Ben.
Anyone help!
Ben,
You'll have to give us a little more to go on.
Who is your Mail Provider?
What error are you getting?
Anything else that might help.
Paul.

Also are synchornising your mail by using WiFi or 3G
Provide Sreenshots if you can
Hi - I'm having a similar problem on my Touch HD. I have a POP email account set up which connects and downloads emails absolutely fine when I'm on Wifi or connected via Activesync. However when I am on a data connection (i.e. GPRS, 3G, etc) it comes up with an "synchronisation error", and suggests I edit my connection settings. The data connections works for everything else, including web browsing and other applications that require it. Its almost as if the mail application isn't being allowed access to the data connection unless its over wifi.

Check your service provider.
I had this problem once and they were "playing" with the POP access over GPRS.
I would give them a quick call.
Regards, D
Yup, sounds like I am having the same problem as DaveHodgkinson.
Can download emails fine, can access the internet fine. Just can't send emails. I know all my settings are correct as they were working fine previously, plus I can send/receive via Outlook and webmail absolutely fine. I have a QIQ hosting package with my own domain that I use for email.
I have read about other people having this same error on their WinMo devices, but have not been able to find a working solution for it.
The error message I get is "the message could not be sent. Check that you have network coverage and that your account information is correct. The try sending again".
Well I do have network coverage, and the account information is correct, so what next!!
This fault renders a major function of the phone unusable.
I doubt this is a "fault".
I'll bet your mobile provider is blocking port 25 making everything else not matter.
Get a telnet client and make sure you can telnet to your mail server on port 25.
Use your wireless providers SMTP server.

From searching google this problem appears to be too widespread to be operator specific. I have tried an alternate port and that also fails. I am on o2.
anybody anymore ideas?
Planetgong,
If you are on O2 UK, this worked for me:
If you can't get your own email providers SMTP settings to work then you can use O2 settings for sending email (while keeping your own email provider for incoming email). To do this your main email settings should look like this...
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
Host Name: smtp.o2.co.uk
User Name: [email protected]
Password: youro2password
Your Advanced settings should look like this...
Outgoing Settings
Use SSL: Off
Authentication: Password
Server Port: 25
If you can't remember your O2 username and password (you will have registered this when you activated your phone) then just register another one at www.o2.co.uk (the 'Register' link is near the top left corner).
Hi
Thanks for the reply. I've just tried that but get the same error message. Can you tell me where I can find the advanced settings?
Planetgong,
Assuming you can log onto your o2 mail box on your PC/laptop. And sign out again.
Go through email setup, my outgoing mail server is smtp.o2.co.uk, tick outgoing server requires authentication, untick use the same name and password. Under "advanced server settings" (at bottom of screen) have both boxes unticked. Make network connection O2 active (not The Internet).
done and next.
Enter O2 user name and password
continue to end of setup.
Then try it!!
Hi
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately this still didn't work. It is like my Touch HD has suddenly decided to stop all outgoing SMTP connections. I have tried so many different things now and it still isn't working!

Although the problem is supposed to be solved on the version of Windows Mobile on the Touch HD, it clearly isn't! Cheers Microsoft.
Not sure what to do now. Don't see why I should accept a phone that all the features don't work on?
I've also got the .cab fix installed linked to by the traceyandmatt site.

hi,
disable your proxy. that might help
goto settings, tab connections, then select connections
next select 'setup my proxy'. go to tab 'proxy server' and uncheck 'this network uses a proxy server'

Proxy is unchecked, still no access. Can I return the phone on the basis it isn't able to perform all the functions it is supposed to?

Didn't work for me! couldn't send any email anymore! Restored a backupfile
Hi,
I've recently flashed from the Compact V rom to the latest stock rom.
I've managed to re set up the data connection and am able to connect to the internet through T-Mobile, however, I cannot connect to my yahoo account any more. I just get a message "Error Synchronizing".
I've tried resetting the settings and recreating the account to no avail.
You can send the settings to your phone on the T-Mobile site via SMS, however, the messages are not being received to my phone, the first one comes through saying "You will receive another message shortly, enter 1234 as the PIN" but the 2nd message never comes through.
Has anyone else has the same issue?
Thanks
i had or have the same problem. you need a .cab called tmobileukfixed or t-mobileuk it sends you the t-mobile settings so u can use the mms as well. ps if you getting low signal ie gprs then that has been my problem before and i think it rom specific although im not an expert.
I find unchecking the 'uses a proxy' in the connection settings allows me access to more, like Live services etc
T-Mobile also
WasStoNed thanks, this resolved the issue.

Thanks for the file!! Did this solve the problem with some text messages not being sent aswell? I seem to be OK to send to some numbers, but not others.
Dont know if its network related or not.
The 2 issues with sending messages and error sync are not related, the error sync is caused by the proxy settings box becoming ticked and the 149.xx.xx.xx ip becoming active this is tmobile public address transaltion server, just un check the proxy box in settings if the problem occurs!!
