Hello XDA members,
I've been trying really hard to get this setup work but it's just not happening
I keep getting error like "authentication methods are not supported by server"
Here are the settings.
http://email.vsnl.in/WebSMSAlert/popmailsettings.htm
I tried to follow these settings but when it comes to outgoing server settings, the port number is given 2525 which doubts me is the wrong one as I get the error "unable to open connection to server"
Before you start:
* Please ensure that you know your user name (this is usually the full email address) and password.

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
I recently did a Hard Reset on my HTC p3600 (WM5). I have been unable to re-establish my data connection (internet/email/wap/mms) with Vodafone UK (monthly contract). I could not remember how I set up the phone originally when I bought it from Expansys UK in April 07. I phoned Vodafone for the settings but the trained monkey was predictably useless. I checked threads on this site to no avail (Even downloaded an empty zip folder that had promised a CAB file with all necessary settings http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285360)
I found a list of settings here (see link) to enable internet/wap/mms/email: http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/ppc-faq/6251-q-what-uk-roi-gprs-settings-web-wap-mms.html. Still I am unable to connect.
I did notice some STRANGE SET BEHAVIOUR. As instructed I set up connections for Vodafone Wap and Vodafone Internet. According to the above site the Vodafone ‘username’ & ‘passwords’ for both of these connections are ‘web’ & ‘web‘. I entered these and saved the connections. Later, having no success connecting, I went back to check the settings I had entered. For both connections the username ‘web’ remained the same, but the password had changed to something with about 13 characters. I can change it back to ‘web’ but once I save the settings it seems to revert to this longer unknown password (it shows as a row of asterixes). Any suggestions on what to do next are very welcome.
I believe your password is hashed to some kind of key (possibly 13 characters). This is stored instead of the three characters 'web', providing better security, since a malicious counterparty can neither `read' your password from a file, nor narrow his brute force search by examining the length of the password string.
I have a Vodafone UK contract (also bought from expansys) and used the following cab file from this thread back in my WM5 days:

Why not upgrade to a WM6 rom? That has all the 'customization' settings built in so you never have to worry about how to restore these things...

If you have a T-Mobile build, even modified on a rooted phone whether it's hero, hyk or jf, signing up to yahoo mail in the email app is cake. Takes seconds and you are done and set up. Push yahoo mail!!
It says, during set up, "Yahoo mail is free with T-Mobile....blah blah"
Change to an ADP build, STILL T-Mobile, and yahoo mail DOES NOT work??
Any idea on how to get Yahoo mail to work with an ADP build?
Here are the steps you need.
1. open up email
2. tap next
3. enter email address and password
4. hit manual setup
5. tap ok when the free yahoo! mail accounts only work over t-mobile wireless networks. yahoo! mail plus users should configure POP settings manually. message appears.
6. tap IMAP account.
7. from incoming server settings, set the following.
8. IMAP Server Field: imap.mail.yahoo.com
9. port: 143 (by default)
10. security type: TLS (if available)
11. scroll down and select next.
12. The device searches for incoming server info
13. from outgoing server settings, set the following
14. SMTP server field: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
15. port: 25
16. security type: TLS (if available)
17. scroll down and select next

Thx!! That is working, at least partially. It let me set it up using the email app, but still has login issues, lots of username/password incorrect issues. BUT... it is working well enough to say that the solution you posted is at least one solution.
I've also set a bookmark using the browser for mobile yahoo mail that works too, just doesn't notify of new emails.
Thx!!

Please dont title your subjects with "please help", that should be part of your post not juts used as title, titles should be descriptive of subject as per rules. For example it should be "Problem with email and data/wifi connection" or something along those lines.
Haven't you considered moving over to Android? Much better OS for user friendliness.
Go to the Mail Tab -> Inbox -> Menu -> Tools -> Options
Select your account
Select: Edit Account Setup -> Next -> Next -> Next -> Next -> Advanced Server Settings. Set the Network Connection to The Internet.
This means that if your phone is connected to the internet by WiFi then it will use that method. If it is not, then it will start up the phone networks data connection.
As a side note, are you using Hotmail as an exchange account?
Set up a new account, select Outlook. Enter email address and password. Select Manual Setup.
User name: full email address
Domain: \
Server Address: m.hotmail.com
I noticed there are many people asking how to set up a Microsoft Outlook account on a droid x. I will explain how to do this without using corporate sync.
1. Go to "My Accounts" in your programs
2. Click "Add Account" at the bottom
3. Click the Email icon in the top right of the screen
4. Unclick “Automatically Configure Account" and then fill in your information
Email: [email protected] or whatever your outlook email is
Password: whatever your password is
5. Click "Next"
6. Click on "Incoming Server" and make sure the "POP Mail server is chosen at the top
7. In the Server section put "pod51011.outlook.com" after that click "Advanced Settings"
8. Change the port to "995" and click "Use secure connection" make sure the first selection is "Auto" and Authentication is password. Then click OK
9. Now go to "Outgoing Server" and now change the SMTP server to "pod51011.outlook.com" then change the user name to your email.
10. Go to Advanced settings and change the port to 587 and check "Use Secure Connection" and make the first selection auto and the authentication auto and have verify certificate checked.
And you are done.
