Hey guys, I'm in New York using RCN's POP3 email settings for my email. My incoming is fine but my phone seems to be having trouble communicating with my SMTP server. Everything was fine up until this evening. RCN says it's T-Mo. T-Mo says it's RCN. I don't have email. Any similar stories or suggestions? Thanks!!!
This is crazy. Still hasn't changed. Email worked fine for months with the TP2 and for 3 weeks with the Slide and now I can't send email. Exact same SMTP server settings now don't work. Is that weird? Same SMTP settings work perfectly on my PC with Outlook but via T-Mobile, nothing.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate some suggestions. Thanks!

Hi,
Can't seem to send any emails from my Tiscali account. Downloading emails is fine, but it will not send anything, and replies with:
(Subject)
System Administrator
Invalid Message Recipients
(Email Content)
Your message 'message title' was not sent and has been moved to the drafts folder.
The following recipients are invalid:
'recipients email'
Whats going on?!?!!
Cheers

I had this problem too to start with..
I got round it by using the Outgoing mail server as smtp.t-email.co.uk
I use that for NTL mail.
Also, make sure that you have the option for 'Outgoing mail requires authentication' is you need it.
I use this for all my other pop3 mail accounts.
Hope that does it for you
ohh...That's for T-mobile however..
No joy Im afraid. Changed to 'Outgoing mail requires authentification'....same response. Even tried smtp.t-email.co.uk :wink: but still nothing....thanks anyway though.
Anyone got the answer???
HPJ
this is to do with your smtp server's security settings. You must use the smtp server provided by whoever is connecting you. In this case if it's t-mobile 3G or gprs, then you must use correct t-mobile smtp server. You will then very likely find that it fails when you send mail via your PC activesync as your PC is connected to the internet via your BT ADSL account (or whatever) which has not been allowed by t-mobile. get the plot?
not really...I'm afraid I am a total novice at this stuff....in fact I'm surprised I have got this far!
It is a tiscali account. I have used all the tscali settings as requested, and as worked on my xda2s. For some reason it just doesnt work on my exec.
HPJ
In my experience, if you're using an O2 then it should be
smtp.o2.co.uk for the outgoing server....try it with authentication ON and OFF and see which works. I can't remember off-hand as I haven't really used any of my XDA's for outgoing mail, only incoming.
Cheers

cheers ant, I'll give it a go a little later and let you know......fingers crossed...
HPJ
yep, I've been messing around with settings, and now I cant even send emails from my Tiscali account on my PC.
I give up. :evil:
The real irony is that I own an IT Consultancy company .........note the word 'own'....not 'work in'.....hence my complete incompetence with IT. Where the hell are my consultants when you need em eh?!?!?!
I'm your friendly neighbourhood it consultant
It doesn't matter what you are connected to to receive e mails. ie you could be on NTL and receive by e mails & vice verca
When you are sending e mails it is a diffent story.
If you are on NTL you have to use the NTL smtp address & if you are on BT you have to use your BT smtp address
o2 is smtp.o2.co.uk
Just tested it on mine & it works
& if u still have probs with your home one.
I'll guide u through that.
Just add me to msn

mate, thank you very much, that's a very kind offer. I will try again and see what happens, and post my (hopefully successful) results soon.

Just set your outoing mail server to whatever connection you are using to send the mail. The golden rule.
If you have setup your connection to work via GPRS, you will find it wont send mail when connected to WI-FI as its using a different connection and the outgoing mail server would have to be changed
I'VE FINALLY DONE IT!!!!
thanks everyone for your help. I'd like to say that will be my last dumb ass question, however I have a feeling it won't be!
cheers

Does anybody else use their device to retreive pop3 email from ntl? My Xda2i flatly refuses to play ball; each time I click 'connect' the Xda goes through the motions of connecting and logging on but comes to a halt and throws up the 'Incoming email password screen' I know I've got the username and password right but I can't get past this screen. Other pop3 accounts work fine. I'm sure it's something to do with ntl as I have the same problem with my Nokia N70 (other accounts work fine on this too). Recently though I was able to pick up my ntl email on a Nokia 8800 without a hitch.
I'm using the following server names
Outgoing: smtp.ntlworld.com
Incoming: pop.ntlworld.com
Are there any ntl users around who can suggest a remedy? I'm not going to bother contacting ntl just yet as I'll only get fobbed off by somebody who knows even less than I do!
Thanks in advance.
Anyone?!
tested fine, at first I had problems logging in with the username [email protected], however by dropping the @ntlworld.com all problems were resolved.

I'll give it a shot, thanks!
I didndt change any settings and have went over the settings over and over and they are all the same. One of my email adresses wont send out (but can receive ) emails. When I hit the send/receive button it sais
"Messages cannot be downloaded to your mobile device. Make sure you are connected to the internet and that your email accnt settings are corrent. Then try to download messages again"
I even tried to delete the account and then recreate it by doing the setup again.....this is the only account that wont send emails.... it's a IMAP aol account...please help

Are you connected via WiFi to your own internet gateway at home, or are you connected via GPRS?
via GPRS/EDGE
Try an alternative smtp server for your outgoing mail and see if that makes a difference.
does anyone know any alternative smtp server for aol? Im currently using smtp.aol.com thanks in advance
anyone? please help...cant send emails for a week now.
bump..i've seen a few people lost on howard forums that this has been an issue with aol smtp servers...can anyone confirm this?
i'm having the same problem with sending emails
I'm having the same problem - In fact, I have the same problem when using WiFi on my home network, while my home computer using Outlook (with the same settings) running on the SAME WiFi network connects to AOL's SMTP just fine.
I'm stumped.
I've been getting more and more problems sending/receiving mail from my AOL and yahoo accounts on my M5000. More and more I've been getting error messages telling me to check the account settings and coverage (even when connected via wifi!).
In desperation I decided to buy another mail client, Profimail, and lo and behold it seems I'm able to send and receive mail again!
Is there some kind of fundamental flaw with the way the MS mail client works?
It took me ages to discover that to set a special port for smtp mail, you have to specifiy it as smtp.mail.com:587, the Profimail has a drop down box for 'smtp' port, so its a lot better in that one area alone!
Anyone else had problems with the default MS mail client, it was driving me mad!!!

Hi You mention the M5000 (Orange).
Other people have had issues with this and one solutuion was to change their outgoing POP3 server to smtp.orange.net
I am connecting to BTYahoo (via the mail.btinternet.com server) and have both of these in incoming and outgoing server names and dont have any issues - apart from when BT's web mail is slow authorizing login details.

Hi.
I have configured my HD2 to connect to my mailserver via IMAP. I can receive just fine but I cannot send. I get this error:
The message(s) could not be sent. Check that you have network coverage and that your account information is correct. Then try sending again.
My settings are correct. I use the exact settings to connect my Mac Mail to my server, and I use the exact same settings to connect my android phone to my server. But this HD2 with WM6.5 is giving me problems sending emails out.
For outgoing, my server listens to both ports 25 and 587, so in my pocket outlook, to use the specific ports I included it in the outgoing URL mail.domain.com:587.
I have tried all sorts of combinations, none seem to work.
Please advice.
Thanks
bump anyone? I know it's an issue with WM 6.1...but I have WM 6.5....any ideas?? I already called TMO and the tech I spoke with has no clue what to do...
hey anyone care to chime in?? Really need to get my IMAP sending emails....
Thanks

I've seen a few posts on T-Mobile's HD2 forum where some people had to change the connection used by the SMTP server in Advanced Settings. Don't recall if it should have been "T-Mobile Data" or "T-Mobile Internet".
Thanks! Uhmm... any link you can point me to? I'm really lost here and I've googled for days without any feasible solution. I've found a microsoft patch for the same exact issue but it was for WM 6.1 not 6.5....
thanks again.
I'm actually having the same issue with my gmail account. I set it up and it doesn't take my password. I've verified its the correct password by going to gmail but its still not taking it.
I don't think its a carrier issue as its doing the same thing with wifi.
I'm having the same issue, I can recieve, but cannot send. I ask TMO CSR, but they couldn't help me.
I think the problem is the pocket outlook program itself. I installed flexmail and it works fine, although I do not like flexmail's interface.
Any suggestion?
If it helps we are trying to connect to a mailenable mailserver.
