Hello
I didn't find any info this kind of problem what i have after updating mobile 6.
So i have email account on internet and i can receive mails to my tytn but cannot send any mail. i also try to start internet share and send mail with my computer but i get error what says "cannot connect smtp server" what the hell is wrong.
If i connect normaly my tytn to active sync i can send mails and receive mails with same setting thru my DSL. But with 3G or GPRS i cannot send mail. everything else is working and has been working before update to wm6.

What SMTP server are you using?
You should be using the one from your internet provider, which - when
using your mobile phone as internet acces device - is your mobile
operator.

I use my DSL internet provider mail service, It has been working exatly with same settings before, and now i'm able to receive all mails from imap.netikka.net mail server but cannot send email outgoing SMTP server "mail.netikka.fi"
I can send and receive emails with my computer thru DSL normaly so that mail server should be ok. Something has to be wrong in wm6 settings some security problem maby.
The mail server is ok, but quite often one cannot access an smtp server
from outside the providers' network (sometimes access is possible from
outside with a logon and a password). This is a common security measure to
avoid their mailservers being used for spam.
So if you connect via a provider A, you can fetch mail from anywhere, but
you should send mails via the smtp server provider A has (regardless of
where your mail comes from). If you then connect via a provider B, you can
again fetch your mails from anywhere, but you cannot use the smtp server
of provider A; you need the one provider B has.
Try first using the smtp server from your mobile provider, if that doesn't
work it is indeed something in wm6.

Thanks for info, I set now my phone operator outgoing smtp server address and now mails are going out also.
So case closed.

Actually, the smtp stuff gives rise a problem I also want to warn you for... If you connect to multiple networks with your TyTN (e.g. wifi and 3G), you basically would want to be able to change the smtp server to suit your needs (e.g. on wifi you need the smtp server of your dsl provider, on 3G the one of your mobile provider). There is no mechanism foreseen in Messaging to achieve this.
As a workaround, I duplicate my mail accounts, but with different outgoing settings (most just go back 3 days or so): i have for instance "mymailbox (provider one)" and "mymailbox (provider 2)". Depending on the network via which I connect, I need to select the appropriate mailbox before choosing "new" or "reply". This way, the correct smtp server is used when I send a mail. It is not an elegant solution, but I haven't found another way. If you have an smtp server that requires you to log on to send mails, chances are you can access that one from anywhere.

Yes i have now that problem that in 3g network mail goes out but not my DSL wifi but i can live with that. But still it is quite weird that with WM5 my DSL provider smtp server works even 3g and wifi but not with WM6.
If you can log on to the smtp server, it could be possible to use it regardless of your connection.
Perhaps you can test it when you use your laptop to send emails, but connect via your mobile operator to internet. If that works, it ought to work with wm6;
but I doubt it to be possible without logon.

Agreed this is a flaw in WM6, shoul be possible to quickly toggle between different settings for SMTP.
I have the same problem, two years ago this was not an issue I could then use the smtp settings from our domain on phone and in office (dsl), this no longer works even with the DSL connection in the office we have to use smtp of the internet provider.

Do you guys know why it would not work. I can only thing that the out going server address is set to my mobile provider and because I am sending it in house through a different company they are not allowing it, would this be right?
let me know, thanks

Yes, that is the reason....
Its a pain isn't it! The only ways of getting it to work is (that I know of):
A) Use a free smtp server - most however will be classed as spam servers, so might be blacklisted
B) Use the SMTP server of the wifi network provider.
The SMTP sever will have replied 'relay access denied'. Properly configured SMTP servers dont run as open relays to stop the spamming-scum using them.
There are several methods of authentication with SMTP:
1) POP3/IMAP before smtp. The server caches your IP after a successfull IMAP/POP3 connection, and allows that IP to use its smtp server for a period of time after
2) SMTP-Auth - PPC supports this, but the server needs to also. You could try this, perhaps the host supports it - just use your pop username/password
I run my own SMTP server cause I got fed up with the sh1te offerings from ISP's. There are companies who will give you an SMTP-Auth account, but usually for a fee.
Does the likes of yahoo mail allow you to use their SMTP server - I know that they allow you to pick up yr message via POP3. I suspect they will attatch ads to the messages though!

Going away next week so I want to bea ble to check my POP3 NTL email via GPRS.
At the moment I have my XDA iiS set up so I can check the email via my WiFi connection at home. This works ok, and I can send or receive with no problems.
However, when I try to create a new Messaging account, I'm really struggling.
FYI, my mobile company is Virgin and my email ISP is NTL.
I've already created the standard GPRS connection through Virgin, which works for for internet browsing etc.
So far i've:
1 - created a new messaging account called "NTL via GPRS" (to differentiate from the wifi account)
2 - Input my NTL email address
3 - User Information - my usual NTL user name & password
4 - Account type is set to POP3
5 - Incoming Mail Server is set to POP.NTLWORLD.COM
6 - Outgoing Mail Server is set to SMTP.T-EMAIL.CO.UK (i believe this is because Virgin actually runs on the T-Mobile network?)
When I click on the send/receive button, the GPRS conection is made, but then all that happens is the progress indicator just says, "connecting..." for ages, then I get 2 error messages - "timed out waiting for server - please retry" - and "Messages cannot be dwnloaded to your mobile device. Make sure you are connected and that your email account settings are correct."
Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Any help would be massively appreciated - thanks.
3 - User Information - my usual NTL user name.... did you set name only? try set [email protected]
Was anyone able to help here. I have exactly the same robelm with Tmobile in the UK. I would like to be able to send mail via GPRS but can't. I can receive it and I can do both on wifi.
The problem is some weard logic from the ISP's. You probably have an email account with the ISP that gets you your internet connections as well at home.
When using WiFi @ home you still send your email via your own ISP.
When you send email via GPRS, the email will be send via your GSM/GPRS provider of your sim-card which will be another telco/isp.
For some reason telco's/ISP won't allow you to send mail, using the smtp (outgoing mail) server of your own ISP. This is why it won't work via GPRS.
It very much depends on your telco company to get this working. I know the trick for vodafone in the Netherlands, but that won't help you I think. Most of the time some smart "googling" will help.
I my case the trick was to get an free account via the website of MyVodafone.nl
and on the PDA I defined an email account with an outgoing mail server that requires autentication and as autentication I used the u/p I created on the vodafone website. And the address of the outgoing mailserver in my case is authsmtp.vodafone.nl
Hello,
I live in New York, and I realize most people use online mail like Gmail and hotmail but I use the POP3 email from my internet provider, RCN.
When I was with AT&T, I had to use a special outgoing SMTP server from AT&T (cwmx.com) otherwise I couldn't send emails. Using my internet provider's SMTP server isn't working. Is there also a special SMTP server to use in T-Mobile to send emails on your phone from your email address?
Any help would be awesome, guys!
Thanks!
P.S.
Why the specific SMTP server?
Clearly the phone can't send emails if you put in your provider's smtp server because you're not connected to your internet provider when sending emails, you're connected to your phone's network.
Have you tried SEVEN ?

Hi All.
Sorry to start a new thread but I need help setting up my email accounts.
I have two; a @blueyonder address and a @live.co.uk address.
I seem to have gotten my @live.co.uk account receiving but still unable to send. My blueyonder one will do neither.
I'm using an Orange upgrade Desire and using the HTC mail app.
Please Help
hellooo
try to change SMTP server your mobile operator
If you have Orange UK operator smtp.orange.net
For example: smtp.t-zones.sk that is smtp server form Slovak T-Mobile operator
Thank You!
Thats worked but I have a new problem now
With my live.co.uk email, after receiving on the phone, I can still receive the email on my outlook.
But with my blueyonder account, once I've received an email on my phone, it no longer downloads to outlook (and vice versa).
Anything I can do?
you need to use IMAP, or set it to leave a copy on the server, otherwise once an email is downloded via POP it tends to not be available to other devices
What is Imap and how does it work?
I am leaving a copy on the server. Both HTC Desire settings and outlook settings state "Leave copy on server" and I've even checked the webmail/server- and the email is still there- unread.
As I say, seems to be working fine with my @live.co.uk address.
Also just noticed I can't send via a wifi network on either account. Not a huge deal, but strange.
Try imap4.blueyonder.co.uk for your incoming mail server address and outgoing: smtp.blueyonder.co.uk
Try checking TLS if available by selecting the security type as TLS.
Hotmail settings are here
incoming settings
protocol =pop
pop server = pop3.live.com
security type =ssl
server port =995
outgoing settings
login required =ticked
username =hotmail addy ie [email protected]m
smtp server=smtp.live.com
security type=tls
server port=587
Account name =Hotmail
Your Name =what ever you want it to display
Thanks everybody. Got everything sorted.
Still can't send from my blueyonder account via wifi but I assume thats something to do with using the orange smtp stuff.
I did search for a similar problem but was not able to find anything specific other than to try using a different server to send.
So, I can't send emails using my pop3 account when connected to wifi, they will come in but not go out.
I'm on telus HSPA in Canada. Anyone have any suggestions? My outgoing email SMTP is using mail.telus.net and 'security type' is set to 'none'.
Can anyone help?
home wifi or any wifi?
Hi thanks. So far home, work and in laws are my saved profiles and it won't send on any of them
I think that has to do with the fact that when you are on wifi you are should be using your isp's smtp. As you can see your outgoing smtp server is mail.telus.net which is fine if you are on 3g because then telus is your isp and you hence need to use their server, but when on wifi you need to use the one of your normal internet provider. I had a similar problem when i connected my laptop on someone else's wifi. (never had a problem on my desire but that is because i only use a gmail account on that, so don't know how to make it so it automatically grabs the right server)
That really depends on whether the ISP for the wifi blocks the port to any other providers smtp server. Most don't any more in the EU. No idea if it is still that antiquated in the US and Canada.
Usually you have to provide login details for the outgoing SMTP connection. Have you done that?

Right...when I try to do that it says my service is not set up for SMTP authentication. If im connected to wifi at work with the corresponding isp and email addy then wifi sending will work.
Very strange...
Like others have said, this is a known issue with some ISPs.
I'm in the UK and my provider has blocked port 25 for security reasons but allow you to use another port in its replacement.
