Help - New person needs help.

Hi all,
Recently joined the world of PDA's after realising the smartphones werent really that smart or good at anything, just average at a bit of everything.
Got myself and MDA iii which is on my t-mobile contract. I also have a google mail account.
I've managed to set up my PDA to receive my gmail emails but I can't send, every time it's saying "Unable to connect to the outgoing mail server. Verify the server name is correcnt, then try again to send and receive mail."
But I'm receiving mail. Can anyone help. I'm glad I got this far to be honest, I'm a complete techno muppet normally!!!

Mail has two sides to it, sending and receiving.
If you get your mail your pop settings are fine
If you dont get your mail your SMTP settings are NOT Fine.
Inorder that users do not use a smtp server for releying mail many porividers block the sending of mails if you are not on there network or need you to authenticate on that server.
here is a home example.
My PDA is connected over wifi to a ADSL from my internet provider FASTNET
My pop mail I get over wifi (thus the ADSL) from my pop provder POPMAIL.
Thus I am no the FASTnet Network and need to send via FASTNET smtp.
If I try to send over POPMAIL it wont work as it is blocked by POPMAIL as I am comming from a differnet network (that of FASTMAIL).
So set up your account over your network provider.
Hope that helps

You could also try the Gmail App midlet for checking/searching/sending mail. Go to gmail.com/app on your PDA, and try it out. You use the Midlet Manager to run it.

Can only receive emails, can't send

I used the proxy settings at the HTC Wiki to setup my Dash with my T-Zones internet. Internet works fine. I'm having a problem with sending mail. I can receive mail fine. When I go to send I get this message:
"The following errors occurred while sending and receiving messages:
the messages cannot be sent . Be certain you have network coverage and that your account information is correct and then try again."
I have a strong signal, get all my emails, can browse the internet.This problem just started happening. WM6 Beta worked fine. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I'm having a similar problem. I just tried to setup windows live mail, and it only works over wifi. I get that network coverage error every time I try and sync mail over edge.
I didn't use live mail frequently with the beta, but it definitely worked over edge when I did use it....Seems like something is up.

T-Zones service doesn't included email, sounds like they're starting to close up the loophole that allowed you to use it with the T-Zones plan in the past? I think you'll find some other things not working as well, like Messenger?

Incoming v. Outgoing Servers
Your incoming and outgoing servers need to be different. If you can use your home wifi, but not edge to send, that means that you have your isp's info in the settings.
I originally made an IMAP account that could receive anywhere, but could only send when I was using a wifi network for which iIknew the outgoing server (ie. my home wifi). I used the "set up my email" option that tmobile offers, it works pretty well, since it configures the phone to send and receive. I pay for the 5.99 T-Zones plan, and this function works for me. Just make sure you log into your my.tmobile.com account and turn the text message alerts off (they send you, and charge you for, a text message every time you receive a new email).

They're definitely doing something. I can now send and receive from my aol account, but my .mac account keeps asking for my username and password. I can't login.

In the past in the settings of a pop account you can go into email setup and choose "Network Connection: Wap", in wm6 final there is no choice for wap. I think that is what is causing the problems

I noticed this as well, both on my Dash and my Vox. My Vox can use T-Zones to get on the internet with the proxy settings. Email had been working fine since I got it on Friday. The strange thing is is I can send email and receive with my aol accounts fine now (this morning they weren't working, only being able to receive).
My. mac account on my Dash now only is getting incoming mail, I can't send out. Earlier this morning I couldn't even log in or get incoming mail.
T-Mobile is definitely doing something because my aol accounts on both phones send and receive fine, now (hope it lasts)
Gmail is also working now, sending and receiving messages.
Hopefully they are just updating their servers since the official release is coming Friday, at least I hope this is what's going on.

as of 9pm EST even connecting Via WiFi I can't send out mail using my .mac account, only receive.
I get the error "the message cannot be sent. Be ceratin that you have network coveraage and that your account information is correct and then try again."
I can' t understand why I'm getting this using WiFi
Gmail, aol still work fine on both T-Mobile EDGE and WiFi.

Uh-oh... looks like I might be going back to WM5.

Easy fix.
Use the proxy, except for everywhere it says use WAP Network under GPRS and Proxy settings, use Work.
Then make sure your IE uses work and your email uses work.

If you can get your IE working but not your email, here is your fix.
for each email account, go to tools>options>select your account> keep going through your email setup until you get to advance server settings.
click on advance server settings, and under network connection, select the same connection that you use for IE.. (should be anything except The Internet)
select it, then hit done (but you aren't done)
it should take you to the previous screen, then hit next, until you get to finish.
You have to make sure you hit finish to save your settings.

Usually if you can't send from your device you might not have set smpt relay on on your webmail account or enabled pop/smpt in general. I had that with a secure server account that I use for buisness and once I had set the settings to turn smpt relay on I had no problems - except it usually works better if i input the password manually. Gmail I have never had problems with after enabling pop.

Yahoo Mail

When I try to send messages it tells me that an error occurred and that it couldn't send the message. I don't know how this can be, because it retrieves my mail, it just won't send it. ???

You mean with Pocket Outlook using SMTP? (You must be a yahoo plus subscriber)
I have the same problem and managed to trace it down to the following:
The built in SMTP program does not authenticate itself 100% by the book. Can't tell exactly but I saw in the server log that it did something funny after HELO.
This causes some mail servers (on the receiving end) to ignore the mail entirely or think it's spam.
I only have this issue with my yahoo account though. Others (e.g. gmail) work fine from Outlook.
Hope it gets fixed in WM6...

T-mobile has a work around.
1) Go to T-Mobile and setup a email forwarding account (Set your phone as a MDA NOT A Dash
2) Turn off email forarding for incoming
3) ON Dash - Change outgoing SMTP to: myemail.t-mobile.com
4) Change user name (Use different than login - because you will still login to Yahoo using the pop or IMAP server to your10digitphonenumber:1
5) password is your yahoo password
Also change NO SSL on outgoing, and outgoing requires authentican checked.
This is also required if you use the dash as a modem on your laptop. I could not sent SMTP Trough T-mobile connectiosnt o laptop, but could if connected via a wifi connection that was not t-mobile.

I have wm6, it used to work. I will try that, but i don't see why it just stopped working all the sudden when it used to....

Yahoo! Mail Issues

I really have no idea what the problem is here. I used to be able to send emails fine when I had WM 6.0 installed. I upgraded to 6.1 which automatically found imap settings for Yahoo Mail. This was working fine to send emails until recently.
Now I cannot seem to send emails at all but I can recieve them fine over imap. My phone (T-Mobile Vario II) doesn't seem to want to allow me to set up Yahoo Mail using the POP protocol; it automatically defaults to IMAP and gives me no option. I'm using Pays WM 6.1 ROM (build 3.05) if that makes any difference to anyone.
It's getting very frustrating not being able to send emails when I've just read an urgent one I've received!
Current settings are:
Incoming: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com (with authentication)
(No SSL on either server)
I don't seem to be able to find the port numbers.
Any help much appreciated!

thats the same settings i have and mine works, double check that the proxy is not enabled if you are using media net.

I had the same issue with CRC's rom. I'm lazy, so here is what I did:
1. Delete the account you created (imap).
2. Create a new account, but on the email field write something like [email protected] ...etc. (i.e. mispell yahoo)
3. Now it will ask you to setup the account manually, i.e. Internet mail, POP3, etc.
I use:
incoming -> pop.mail.yahoo.com:110
outgoing -> smtp.mail.yahoo.com:25 (Required SSL)
Hope this helps.

Many thanks dgaud007,
I hadn't thought of that and so obvious as well. Will be trying that immediately!

im having this same issue since goin to 6.1 on a Dash. Tried the yaho.com suggestion elow but it still won't always send.
Any ideas?

Win Mobile has always auto configured my Yahoo! account to IMAP (which I am pretty happy about anyway)... That said, I'm using a yahoo.co.uk account.. Don't know whether it applies to yahoo.com accounts..

I have tried using the Auto Configure and tried configuring it manually. Still cannot send about half of the time. Very weird because it always worked fine until I went to the 6.1 ROM.

From what I read in one of the Kaiser threads from incognito there was a brief mention of a bug in the 6.1 builds were about 1/2 of the time the logon authorization fails. It has happened to me even on the new 19213 version. I don't know how to fix it at this point (if it's something that can be done after the ROM is cooked). I'm using PAP authentication for now, and so far, haven't seen the issue again.

I'm still having this same issue. Anyone else? Any ideas on how to make Yahoo! outgoing email work with Kavana's 6.1 ROM?

How can I get IMAP working again?

I have recently installed Windows Mobile 6.5 on Kaiser. I was able to access yahoo mail for some time but now I can not both send and receive mails. I have also tried the method incoming -> pop.mail.yahoo.com:110
outgoing -> smtp.mail.yahoo.com:25 (Required SSL) and it is also not working. I have recently installed G-Profile and 3G Dialer may be they have caused the problem.

Go to messaging\Setup E-mail and just use automatic setup and it will connect via POP3.

Doesn't work POP3 either, I did it before and nothing....I was searching on internet and most of peoples said that use IMAP4 but nothing....
I'd like if anyone that has proxy 5.99 TMO has been configured GMAIL on WM6.1
What server are you using guyz???

I have gmail setup on kavana's 6.1 rom also using tzones 5.99 for internet. works fine. Im just using the regular pop and smtp settings

What option do you have for the server...Internet?
with that doesn't work mine and I change for: T mobile MMS, T mobile Data, work....doesn't work either

I have mine set to work.

I have the same problem. I have the unlimited plan and I get the "connection error" and I it asks for my login and password over and over. I only have this problem with 6.1. I have tried the T-mobile email plugin, and the other 3 ways of adding an email account.
Wierd thing is, I backed up my 6.0 data before the swap to 6.1 with Sprite backup. When I restore to the 6.1 I get me email back and it works fine, problem is that it really screws up most of the stuff I got with 6.1.

I also have the same issue.
My Yahoo and Gmail worked fine on 6.0.
6.1 Yahoo refused to work until just the other day...It has not worked since the 6.1 install until now...
Gmail will not work either no matter what... It did download the headers, but it shows nothing and will not work otherwise...

if you guys want tell me the screens you need and ill get you the settings that work for me.

I tried a lot of option and nothing guys, let see what I do....I did POP & IMAP and nothing..I tried Yahoo and doesn't work either instead they work fine through IE.

I did it POP as default and "works" sometimes, when you click on send/receive gave you the Connection ERROR....and when the system did by itself work good ( I think)...

ERROR....." The remote party has ended this connection"...
I go a new messajw
"The remote party has ended this connection"....
Does anyone has this message before?

just out of curiosity do you have pop turned on thru gmail?

Off course....
And I have setting up to "work" too
When I push (send/receive) gave that error...
Only download automatically messages twice when it's wants....
What do you recommend me to do?
