O2-NL e-mail settings

I flashed my XDA with the new Dutch O2 ROMs. That went well. I'm now re-installing everything. Question:
What are the e-mail settings I should use. I can read e-mail from my e-mail provider (hetnet.nl), but cannot send e-mails. Probably the SMTP-settings are wrong. Or something? I receive the error "Your message could not be delivered to the following invalid recipients: [email protected]" (e-mail address is correct, of course). I do NOT get the error "SMTP Server could not be found" or something.
Current settings:
POP3
incoming: pop.hetnet.nl
outgoing: smtp.o2.nl (193.113.160.13 also doesn't work)
domain: <empty>
I read on the O2 internet site, that they are working on their e-mail system. Is their SMTP-server down at the moment, or am I doing something wrong????

what's the smtp server from hetnet.nl. I got pop3.versatel.nl & smtp.versatel.nl & it works fine. So why use the smtp.o2.nl???
& Sometimes mail can't be send for some f..g stupid reason & all I get is the invalid recipient message. Well that's a garbage collector cause the same address might gave worked 5 minutes earlier.
So check your hetnet smtp & keep trying.

E-mail (gmail) on a non standard port?

On my Prophet I would like to use my Gmail next to my Hotmail account. I've enabled POP in my Gmail account and I tried to set it up on the phone. However, Gmail requires usage of port 995 for pop and 465 for smtp. There is no setting for the port on the Prophet. I tried inputting pop.gmail.com:995 and smtp.gmail.com:465 for the servers but that made no difference (it 'connects' but asks me for my login info while 'loggin on...' and yes I've tried it with and without @gmail.com and retyped my password several times).
Does anybody have a work around? Or.. an option I've missed? Or.. an hack to make it possible to use a different port? Or.. a name of an e-mail application that works on Windows Mobile that provides this feature?

Here, this is the way to set up GMail:
In the Server Information, click Option, and in the "Require SSL connection" box, check/enabled that option. Also, below it, check "outgoing mail requires authentication."
With these two enabled, GMail will work fine.
One last thing, you can only select "Get message header only". If you select get entire mail, once you download your mail to your PPC, you cannot download the mail anymore in your desktop via Pop3.
For Wifi connection, I would recommend you specify larger size of header to download, I use the max 999 KB of message body.
For slower connection like GPRS, I set mine to only download 10 KB of message body.
Hope this helps.

That's weird.. I tried what you propose but as I said it would keeps asking me for my login information? Since those are correct I assumed it was due to the fact that I didnt set the right port number anywhere?
Anything I'm overlooking here then?

Not sure what you miss. I will recommend you just delete that mail box and re-create it again. If it does prompt you for login information, I guess there is a chance you typed the wrong pwd.
But it should work fine. You can use your login without the @gmail.com

Does it work for you? On your Prophet?
Here's what I do @ Outlook E-mail:
* Menu | Tools | New account
* Enter e-mail address: flyingd*[email protected]
* Auto configuration (never goes past Download..) --> Next
* Your name: Full Name
Username: flyingd*tchman [or] flyingd*[email protected]
Password: Password (includes one capital)
* Account type: POP3
Name: gmail
* Incoming mail: pop.gmail.com
Outgoing mail: smtp.gmail.com
Domain:
* Options
Connection: The Internet (= T-Mobile GPRS)
Checked SSL connection
Checked outgoing mail requires authentication
* Finish
Then it goes 'connecting' followed by 'loggin on..' and it keeps asking me for my incoming E-mail username and password?

yes, i just verified my config with yours, line per line.
I have also my password saved there, and limit to 10KB header of message to download over the GPRS link.

Um, this is not a free solution, but you can also use Flexmail 2007, which is an excellent client and supports port changing and everything under the sun.

Does everything under the sun include checking for new e-mail say every minute and reporting new e-mail to the 'today' screen?

It can check for new email every minute.
It doesn't have a Today screen plugin which is one of the main faults of the program, I guess. However, it has the ability to stay minimized in the System tray next to the Wifi icon and it has the ability to notify on each new email so I guess it can tell you when you have new email.
I don't check for my mail every minute and usually use it with my Wifi connection so its perfect for me.
But it can do those things which you mentioned

AT&T rom broke my email

I installed the AT&T rom available on their site and now my pop3 email accounts don't work. I have one on a friends server and another on Gmail and both give me errors now when i try to download mail.
I get the Messages cannot be downloaded to your mobile device error.
Any ideas?

How about you post what your pop mail setting are currently configed as.

@shogunmark-
is it possible to get blackberry connect to work with this rom? I tried and could not get it to work. I've read about people hexediting the version numbers of wm6 roms to get it working. is this the issue with this new att rom also?
I am back on the previous rom now and it is working fine.
I tried running the no proxy cab on the new rom to no avail.
thanks,
wes

I vaguely recall someone having a similar problem with accounts that use non-standard SMTP ports. There's a thread for the 2.15 ROM... may have read it there.

Port 25 still needs to be open on that mailserver, otherwise inbound email wouldn't be coming into it. Port 587 is just used for people who cannot use SMTP due to their ISP blocking port 25, but port 25 on the server itself still needs to be open as that's where it receives inbound email. So take off the :587.
Just for giggles I verified for you that the standard SMTP port is open on the server:
telnet mail.crews.com 25
Trying 66.194.214.163...
Connected to mail.crews.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.crews.com running EIMS X 3.3
quit
221 2.0.0 mail.crews.com closing connection
Connection closed by foreign host.
HOWEVER, you have never said if the problem is with sending or with receiving email. This setting has nothing to do with receiving email, only with sending.

I said the error was messages cannot be downloaded to the device. But to confirm, the error is that messages never download to the device and I get an error.

Either way, fix what I stated above. It may be that the device is failing during the send/receive because of your configuration problem and giving up altogether.

Change that. No luck. It still gives me the same error.

EMAIL setup for NTLWORLD (Virgin) on O2 please?

Hi there,
I had the EMAIL working ok until Virgin updated their EMAIL setup a couple of months back, but now I seem to be having trouble whatever I try (keeps int deleting EMAIL's + having problems sending/receiving sometimes).
Thanks, Mark.

Check your settings:
Your Name
Your name as you would like it to appear to others when you send them an e-mail. We recommend entering your real name, although any name can be used.
E-mail address
Your Virgin Media e-mail address. Remember that the part after the @ symbol should correspond to your type of account, e.g., [email protected].
Account Type
POP3
Incoming mail server
pop3.virginmedia.com
Outgoing mail server (SMTP)
smtp.virginmedia.com
User Name
Use entire e-mail address.
e.g., [email protected]
Password
Enter the password for your e-mail account. If you don't know the password for your account you can reset it using the forgotten password tool in My Virgin Media.
Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)
Unticked/No

Thanks for that,
Is that an updated version (since they changed things a couple of months back) or working setups off your phone?
Also I had an O2 address (mail.o2.co.uk) on the outgoing server, as I had trouble sending in the 1st place and this cures things?
Also should the setup be the same for @virginmedia.co.uk addresses as @ntlworld.co.uk ones?
Cheers.

Dude just got to the virgin media website and have a look at the email help page. It's really not that difficult.

I know - I've done that in the past and with the settings they give it would only let you receive EMAIL's and not send them.
I'm not sure if the settings on there are just for mobiles on the Virgin network?
I wanted to be able to send/receive EMAIL's with O2.
I would have looked on the Virgin site myself if I had not tried them in the past and not bothered people on here.
That's the reason that I had to use the mail.o2.co.uk address for the outgoing server before (as it would not send EMAIL's from the settings they supplied on Virgin's site).

Nope - just tried the settings supplied for the NTLWorld EMAIL address on the Virgin site and they still don't work Dude (saying to check my account information when sending/receiving).

If i remember correctly to send now you have to use ssl encryption on the smtp connection and specify the same log in details as for the incoming pop connection (the smtp servers are no longer open). The reason for this is that when it was ntl/blueyonder the smtp servers would only respond to certain ip address' so any further security was not needed.
Nope - just tried the settings supplied for the NTLWorld EMAIL address on the Virgin site and they still don't work Dude (saying to check my account information).

i just read the latest post. The ip restriction may still be enabled so you may be screwed.

Ok - thanks for that.
Mark.

if you are using a data connection then set it to mail.o2.co.uk and make sure the connction is using o2 mobile
if you are using wifi at home thru the VM connection then you can use smtp.ntlworld.com

Sorry, but just checking - you have to setup a GMail account for this to work - I was wondering when you send somebody a message if it shows as from the NTL World EMAIL address or the GMail one?
Cheers, Mark.

Hi there,
Thanks for all the replies - I think I may have sussed it now with a combination of peoples replies and also using O2's server for the outgoing mail.
I can now send/receive + also delete EMAIL's off the server so they don't come through on my PC once I have deleted and done a send/receive on the phone.
Cheers, Mark.

I was also wondering about the IMAP4 setting on the mobile - does this mean that everything on the server is also stored on the phone as well, so you have old EMAIL's on your phone as well?
Does this slow the HD2 down, as it would be handy to have some of the older EMAIL's in folders on the phone.

It sends it from the gmail address.... All I have got in my folders is the stuff in my inbox... BTW what settings did you end up using for both the outgoing and sending?
Regards,
Alan

Hi there,
I got these settings E-Mailed from Virgin in the end (like the ones posted by somebody else earlier, but with info on the SSL + ports etc (not that I think you can setup the ports on the HD2).
It seems to work all ok now with even being able to delete messages off the server as well.
Cheers, Mark.
Thanks for getting in touch with the Virgin Media Support team.
The details for your email account settings are below.
Incoming Mail Server - pop3.virginmedia.com
Outgoing Mail Server- smtp.virginmedia.com
Username - Full email address including @ntlworld.com
Password - Your email password
Outgoing server requires authentication - Yes
Incoming Server Port - 995
SSL Required - Yes
Outgoing Server Port - 465
SSL Required - Yes
If you are going to be receiving emails to more than one device you will
need to use 'Recent' mode in order to facilitate this. To do this simply
add 'recent:' to the start of the username in your account settings on
your email client so if your username was '[email protected]' it
would become 'recent:[email protected]'.

check your smtp settings
When you are entering the email account, please use manual configuration. I use ATT-yahoo and the configuration of the servers are as follows:
pop: pop.att.yahoo.com (this is incoming)
smtp: smtp.att.yahoo.com (this is outgoing, where you problem seems to be)
both are security type: none (in both cases username and password is used)
Good luck

I tried but still not working " cannot connect to the mail server to verify your account information. Your server is not responding".
believe me I tried many variations and nothing worked

verify account information is good.
I do not know the extension for Rumania, but should be something like this:
1) configure the e-mail manually and use type pop
2) Once you enter you see protocol (pop)
3) e-mail (your complete email. [email protected]er contry extension I think "ru" (without apostrophes)
4) username (same with the @ yahoo.ru)
5) pop server: pop.mail.yahoo.com.ru
6) security type : None
7) server port: 110
on smtp:
1) check login required
2) username (same as in pop your [email protected]
3) smtp server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com.ru
4) security type: none
5) server port 25
Note in the US is without the ru at the end.
This should work. If it doesn't the problem is in your username or password

I tried but still not working. what problem could be from my username or password?
If using another email account works without problems.

Same problem here. i tried everything, stil not working

I realized the problem is coming or from yahoo servers or from htc because if i trying another mail account is working very well with nativ mail only with my main account i have problem and another thing the yahoo mail app from market it working very well with all my account including the main account. :-(

anyone find a fix? Yahoo & gmail NEVER notify or load new e-mails (stock mail app)...
