I'm having trouble setting up my company email to my new Atrix...
Its a hostgator account, and I have found the instructions with hostgator how to set up a Droid with them but it doesn't work.
Anyone can help?
These are the instructions for a droid
http://support.hostgator.com/articl...-mail/setting-up-email-for-the-motorola-droid
my website is sunbeltmachinery.com
I did change my incoming server port because I thought I was supposed to use the same settings on my iPhone to get it to work. What is the stock incoming server port?
Thanks all....
Lovin' my atrix
If it is exchange, do not use the email setup buutton. Use the coperate sync. This will give you realtime push mail to your device.
You will not enter a port. You will just enter your user name and domain.
From the home page select settings/accounts/add account/corporate sync
Your Mail server is mail.sunbeltmachinery.com.
POP Port is 110 and smtp port is 25.
Slow down and really read the instructions. They are correct.

I cannnot acces to my email un gmail.
I'll really apprecaite if somebody can give me all parameters
I have 3 Gmail invites available
I was able to access my Gmail on XDA II. I now have an XDA IIs with 2003 se. I used the same parameters as on the XDA II 1.72 but I am unable to access my gmail. It seems to log on but stops in the downloading process.
Sorry, but I just realized that the problem I was having with my gmail account was not due to using 2003 se but because apparently (I don't know how) the settings on my gmail account had changed.
Here are the instructions that helped me from http://www.pocketpchow2.com/archive/2004_11_14_index.html
Update: Using Gmail from Pocket PCs
Earlier I had written here about how Google has started providing POP access for their Gmail email service. This week my account was enabled for POP access, and since then I had been trying to get it working with my Pocket PC. My efforts had been stymied by an error stating that email could not be downloaded to my mobile device. Today thanks to some assistance from Ed Hansberry got it to work. The trick is to enable POP only for new mail rather than for all mail.
If you have a Gmail account and want to access it using your Pocket PC, here is the information that you need:
Your userid and password is the same as what you use to access Gmail via a web browser
The incoming mail server name is pop.gmail.com
The outgoing mail server name is smtp.gmail.com
You need to configure the account so that the Outgoing e-mail server requires authentication
The account also requires an SSL connection
If you read Google's instructions for setting up an account you will notice that they specify port numbers for the incoming and outgoing mail servers. The numbers they provide are the standard port numbers for SSL access, so all you need to do is configure the Pocket PC account to use SSL.
You specify the authentication and SSL connection information on the 2nd account options screen. To access that screen tap Options on the fourth E-mail Setup screen and tap Next to display the Options (2/3) screen.
Since Gmail is free and provides 1 GB of online storage for email, it is a very useful email service. What makes it even better for Pocket PC users is that it requires SSL, which encrypts all your email as it travels between your Pocket PC and Gmail's servers. Keep in mind that when you use regular email servers that don't use SSL via a wireless connection, your email is floating through the airwaves in clear text. That means that anyone with the ability to capture wireless traffic can see the contents of your email. I highly recommend that since most people access email via wireless connections today, they use some form of encryption, whether that is provided by VPN or SSL.
I recently got this email from att yahoo:
Dear AT&T Yahoo! Member,
We're making some security improvements to your AT&T Yahoo! service. These changes will affect members who send or receive email from a desktop or mobile client program, such as Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express, Eudora, Apple Mail, or Thunderbird.
To help us ensure the security of your email, you will need to change the settings on your desktop or mobile email client program.
you may take the following steps to change the settings on your desktop or mobile email client program:
Open your email client program.
Locate the email account settings for your particular client.
Change the POP server to pop.att.yahoo.com.
Change the SMTP server to smtp.att.yahoo.com.
Check the option labeled Use an encrypted connection (SSL) and change the SMTP port to 465.
Check the option labeled Use an encrypted connection (SSL) and change the POP3 port to 995.
Confirm the above settings then click OK.
I already tried my first comandment "Thou shalt not ask before search!" but alas I can't seem to find how to change ports on e-mail set up. I'm running wm6 but I don't know if wm5 had this abbilty as I didn't need it then. Any help would be great!
So, mabey I should have posted under wm6 & titled the post photon question. At the very least somebody would reply to flame me or something. lol
I had the same problem. Turned out to be the operator. They do not offer full Internet services, only WAP and unencrypted e-mail (i.e. no SSL). The problem sorted itself out after switching to another operator . . .
Add a colon then (port #, no spaces) after each in/Out server. That is how I have it set up with my 8525/ wm5
Thanks, I'll give that a shot. If not I guess I can open a hot mail account and forward email till att fixes the auto set up in August (per the "help" desk)
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.
Hello All! Forever I've wanted my mail combined in the stock app, but Yahoo! IMAP wouldn't work over wi-fi without using K9, etc. I tried again and have success thanks to mtwebster's git commit: http://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_Email/commits/froyo
If you want your Yahoo! mail in the stock email (vanilla email client, not htc) app, add your IMAP account manually as usual and use the following incoming and outgoing servers:
Incoming server: imap.next.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing server: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
I've tested it and it works great for me! I now have a combined mailbox with my Exchange (work) mail and my yahoo mail and can access both via Wi-Fi or 3G!
Enjoy
i dont know about the "next" command in ur first string..but ive always used :
INCOMING : imap.mail.yahoo.com
OUTGOING : smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
im sure ur way works..but theres an alternative if the first way doesnt work for anyone for some odd reason

Hey SoCal. I saw your other post about ordering your Dinc. I think you'll love it! Welcome!
As for the servers, the ones you listed are the ones I had and they will NOT work via Wi-Fi (except if using K9 mail and I hate that ugly @ss icon and wanted one mail client and one inbox for all of my mail) but work fine over 3G. That's why I had to find the others. Give it a test and you won't even be able to add your account to the stock client while connected to a wireless access point. It will keep telling you "The username or password are not correct". When I'm at home or at work, I'm always connected to wireless, so not being able to get my mail is unacceptable.
Thanks for the reply, though!
awesome catch then eh? kudos on that!
and thanks for the welcome. being on an HDPI device is gonna be a bit of a learning curve as far as development goes..but im sure with a bit of the forum help ill be able to find my way just fine.
not working for me...

This is the regular plain-jane HTC mail app? I tried using these server names to set up my regular yahoo (not y-plus) account...left SSL and default ports unchanged. I had to switch to 3G-only even to get past the incoming server page in manual setup. I got the account set up, but with WiFi active I get the same old errormsg.
Is yours still working? I wonder what we did differently.

No, that was on the vanilla email client when I was using Ruby. I tried with the htc client and got the same issue that you did. I might have to restore my ruby backup and see if it still works and what the ssl settings are.
EDIT: I just verified that this works on the vanilla email client, via wifi, with security set to none but won't work on the htc client.

Hi,
I am using Galaxy 3 I5801 with Android 2.1.
I browsed the internet and found confusing opinions about push email on my device.
All I want to know is:
1. Can I use Push email on my Galaxy 3 just like I use on a Blackberry
i.e. I pay a fixed charge for unlimited email receiving and sending to my service provider(airtel) on my device. However, this charge does not cover any Internet browsing (GPRS) charges.
2. Can I configure my corporate email account (not gmail or yahoo) on to my phone using push mail?
Hope my question is valid and understood.

yes you can, in the email app. i have my college email configured (had it on eclair and have it now on jpb)
there are also other apps that support corporate accounts, like k9. though i havent tried any
thanks for the reply
thanks for the reply mate.
what I understood out of this is that
1) I contact Airtel (my service provider) and ask them to activate push email on my connection and tell them the plan that I want.
2) configure my corporate email account on my galaxy 3 using K9 or like application
Is this the way to go?

Im not sure about step 1, since I am not in the same situation (I dont have a special service for email - I use "regular" internet). I do think that if you are already paying for it that you dont have to, but you there is no risk in contacting airtel, is there, so why not contact them?
I am , as well, facing issues configuring my corporate exchange email account on Samsung Galaxy 3 I5801.

3. I opt for the exchange account option.
4. I enter the domain\userid and password ( password is pre-populated)
5. I then enter the outlook web acess URL of my corporate exchange server and then it tries to get the incoming server settings. Doesn
t work - Get an error message " Unable to open connection to the server"
6. I then re try with the exchange server details ( as configured in my PC outlook client), it tries to get the incoming server settings. Doesn
t work - Get an error message " Unable to open connection to the server"
7. I have tried with all combinations of uppercase / lowercase - no luck at all.
8. Interestingly the google mail which gets auto-configured works well !!!
Can I get some help please ?

My experience:
in the email app:
1.add account
2.email addres:
[email protected]
Password:
********** (you are not getting that )
3. next-> exchange account ->
4. I then get:
Domain user name:
\borisivan.babic
Password:
**********
Exchange server:
student.fsr.ba
use secure check
accept all not checked.
5. I change
domain user name to
[email protected]
and
Exchange server to:
pod51007.outlook.com
and it works for me.
Dunno about your exact server setup, so you might have to put something else instead of pod51007.outlook.com however, if it is from microsoft try that.
Thanks mate !
Tried the "pod51..." server details too , unfortunately it doesn't work, I will have to check with the system admin team within my organization to get the server details.
