I received my Acer tab today and I am very impressed by the built quality. The screen is as nice as the Ipad in my opinion.
I can’t configure my Email. The incoming server works ok but I get a SSL failure for the outgoing server.
I am using the same parameters as the mail on my Windows machine. My provider is Bell(Sympatico). I contacted the Bell support group and they have confirmed that the parameters are correct but they do not support the Android system.
I am using the following parameters:
Incoming server – pophm.sympatico.ca, SSL, port 995, requires server request.
Outgoing server - smtphm.sympatico.ca, SSL, port 25, requires server request.
Can someone help me with this problem?
Thanks for your support.
Did you set Accept all SSL Certificates under security type?
Yes I have
only other thing I can think of is that smtp w/SSL usually uses a different port (465 is usual I think) vs 25; maybe outbound doesn't require SSL for your host?
I haven't had to configure SSL access on my pop/smtp accounts, matpybe someone else who has can confirm.
Check your outgoing server port. I know that mine is set to 587 for TLS encryption, so I am betting that SSL would also use it's standard port of 465.
Give it a shot and see what happens. I've also seen a few providers (e.g. Qwest) that require you be on their network to access their email servers for outbound mail, so if you aren't home, you may need to configure it there first for it to work.
Problem solved.
First, I tried setting the Security type to None and then to SSL, port 465 but it didn’t work. Then I changed it to TLS port 587 and to my surprise, it worked. How do you explain that the settings on my Windows machine uses SSL for incoming and outgoing mail and my Android tab uses SSL for incoming and TLS for outgoing? Go figure.
Thanks again for your support.

I use wireless at home, wireless at work, and gprs otherwise. These obviously use separate smtp servers to send mail. How can I set this up???

You can set the outgoing smtp mail server on each account. Just set up multiple accounts.

How else do you imagine your email is going to be sent using another account? That isn't the fault of your device, it is the way SMTP works. Most smart companies have Relay turned off on their servers anyway. Yes they could set it up to allow Relay on authentication, but from a useability standpoint I believe that setting a specific SMTP server per account is the smart way to go.
well, I'm not sure about SMTP in other places, but in NL it's often a case of whether your ISP-assigned IP address belongs to the same company running the SMTP.
E.g. when I'm up north in the country, I'm using wifi on an @home network, and need to set my smtp to mail dot home dot nl . But when I'm back at home, I'm going through Casema, and need to set smtp to smtp dot casema dot nl.
I *could* set up two accounts, but then all my e-mail is separate as well. Instead, I just change that little variable, and I'm all set for the duration of my stay at either location.
LOL! I have the same issue! I want to manage mutiple SMTP servers but the only way appears to be manualy changing the setting.
Surley somebody could write a small app with perhaps common SMTP servers and the ablility to add your own server settings and then poke it into the smtp setting?
I'm not a programmer but I don't think it''l be that difficult? All you would need is a selection screen od smtp servers and then get the app to change the setting???
Any programmers up for that challenge? :shock:
multiple smtp servers - solution
Hi Guys
The only thing I see for this problem is to use server which does not check where are you connecting from. Something like www.inmail.sk
In this case I use for all my account different pop3 receive server, but all have the same smtp (smtp.inmail.sk). Just every account using they own email address. This way the emails will be send as they would be from different accounts.
Of cause you have to get one inmail account. Which is free anyway.

The better solution is to find out if one of your email providers supports smtp authentication.
As someone mentioned earlier most providers block "relaying" -- sending email while connected to a network other than their own -- so people can't use their server for spam.
Luckily, some of the smarter email providers also provide a solution to this problem -- authentication, which just means to provide your username and password. Then you can use their server no matter what network you happen to be attached to whether it's gprs, wifi, or whatever.
You can find out whether your smtp server supports authentication by telnetting to it from your desktop computer.
At a command prompt type
telnet yoursmtpserverhere 25
then type
ehlo yoursmtpserverhere
If it returns something like AUTHENTICATION or AUTH PLAIN TEXT, you're golden.
Use that server for all of your email accounts and enable authentication in each account by going to the last email account set up screen and clicking Options. On the second Option screen, check the box "Server requires authentication".
Then click on Use Seperate Settings and enter the username and password for the email account of the smtp server you're using.
Now you'll be able to send email no matter what network you are connected to.
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.

Hi,
I experienced this before and it's very strange. I have a pop account forwarded from Yahoo. I have the premium Yahoo mail so they let me do this with the following proxies:
pop: plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com
smtp: plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
the incoming stuff works fine, the outgoing for about 2 days has been saying that it can't send any messages out.
What is going wrong? I have tried creating a new Yahoo account.
I've tried assigning the outgoing mail server to Sprint as opposed to "The Internet"
I've tried taking off the plus at the beginning and turning off SSL required.
NOTHING has worked.
Any help would be most appreciated.
SMTP is used to send OUTGOING mail..the POP server handles the incoming mail.
You will need to set your SMTP server to : smtp.sprintpcs.com (or whatever carrier your're using's SMTP server)
Assuming you are on Sprint AND you have a dataplan/PCS mail account :
You will need to know you Sprint PCS MAIL login (do not put in the @sprintpcs.com part) and password (which is not always the same as the PCS Vision password used to setup your Dial-up from your phone).
You can reset the password on the Sprint site, you have to hunt around for it though.
PCS mail is going to be dropped by Sprint at the end of this year, so be prepared for that once you get it working.
I had a similar problem using GMAIL, and I fixed it by un-clicking the Server requires a SSL connection for outgoing mail. In your mailbox settings you can change that
Hello everyone. I cannot figure out how to add my second email to my droid. I have it rooted with the liberty 1.5 rom and figured out how to do the hotmail but my other pop3 I cannot figure out.
Here is the instructions from the website.
PC Client Setup Information:
POP3 (inbound mail) Server: mail.ar15.com
SMTP (outbound mail) Server: mail.ar15.com
- User name and password are case sensitive.
- Your password must be 4-16 characters long.(alpha-numeric)
- For security, we require authentication for outbound (SMTP) mail. check "MY SERVER REQUIRES AUTHENTICATION" in your mail client under server settings.
- Please set the email check timer to be 10 minutes or more.
I enter in all of my info but cannot find any part where It asks for the SMTP. Under security type I see
none
SSL
SSL (accept all certs)
TLS
TLS (accept all certs)
I can get passed the ingoing email screen but when it comes to the outgoing email screen I get this message: Unable to open connection to server
Any help? I had it set up before I rooted but not cannot get it dialed in.
Thanks
No one?
Please help as this is super important I get it working..
I would go back in to settings>accounts> and click on that account. then select outgoing server, and try it without verifiy certificate, then if that doesnt work, try it without authentication.

Hi, I am having a problem sending Email from my Charter.net account. It cannnot send Email and fails. I setup the SMTP server with mobile.charter.net and Port 587 (TLS and Authentication). Anybody else with the same issue with default Email or Gmail client?
I setup my Charter account in the Gmail app. It auto discovered all my settings this time. The Gmail app set the incoming server to mobile.charter.net port 993 SSL/TLS. Outgoing server is mobile.charter.net port 587 SSL/TLS.

Just tried again in Gmail and the outgoing Email stayed in the Outbox and it failed. I have the same setting as you above.
Gotta ask but is your password correct? Same credentials allow you to login into Charter webmail? Tried Wifi vs 4G? Link to Charter settings http://www.charter.net/support/internet/email-settings/

Yes password is correct cause I can read all my Emails but not send which is very odd. I can login to Webmail without problem. Tried to check/uncheck Authentication required without success. 4G or Wifi does not make a difference.

That is an odd issue. I just removed and re-added my Charter account in Gmail app. I selected Personal IMAP account, entered my email address and password and I was set. Did not have to enter anything else.

Native email app is working too. It hung on checking outgoing server. Switched to manual, IMAP, incoming mobile.charter.net 993 SSL, outgoing mobile.charter.net 587 SSL. Username is my full Charter email address.

Just did a factory reset. The Charter account will only install with the manual setup. Make sure the outgoing port 587 is set to SSL as it defaults to TLS during the initial setup. I originally used the automatic detect and that port 587 always stayed on TLS. Thx
Looks like it doesn't save the 587 port setting if you have a different default email account setup on the S7. We have an Corporate ActiveSync email account as the first account on the phone. Was on hold for almost an hour with Samsung and just got cutoff.
Some of this (port numbers, etc) depend on if you follow Charter's settings for mobile (i.e. not directly on their network to start) or home (i.e. wifi). They put extra security if on mobile (i.e. the 993 port), and I also think they mess with things if you are on wifi, and won't work right. PITA, but it is how they do it in Central MA. So some of this may depend on Wifi vs. t-mobile network access to the charter.net server.
YMMV...
I think T-Mobile is causing the problem
I suspect T-mobile might be barring connections to charter.net. With the correct setup, my phone will send email to charter via my WiFi but not through t-mobile direct. Using K-9 email client, I get back:
