i'm not having any luck finding a spot to change the ouotbound email port - i run my outbound email server on 5555 instead of the standard port 25. does anybody know where i can change this? or recommend an email client with imap support that would let me spicify/change the default?
any help is much appreciate!!!
this is for a siemens SX66 btw.
thanks again,
marco

I dont think there's any way of doing it in pocket inbox, but I think webismail will let you configure the ports to your heart's content.
Try this:
e.g. if your outgoing mail server is smtp.gmail.com and port is 5555
smtp.gmail.com:5555
You are the MAN! .... not sure why i didn't try that before. but it works Great. Thanks again!

I happily stand corrected!
Okay.. I have read and read and my eyes are bleeding!
In WM5, I could specify the smtp port in Pocket Outlook by adding the port number to the end of the smtp server (i.e. smtp.blahblah.com:27)
For some reason when I set this in WM6 (Black 1.2) it still tries to connect to port 25. I have verified this behavior as I admin the mailserver I am trying to connect to.
So.. Am I missing something or is this broken in WM6?

try using cwmx.com as your smtp server. you are on cingular right?

Actually, I know I can use Cingular's smtp server but I would rather use my own as it's more secure and I can debug any delivery errors.

I had a similar problem and it was not WM6 but rather the ISP connection. Using a non standard SMTP port (gmail) through WIFI works fine specifying the addressort in the account config. The same with T-mobile service gets blocked.
In my case it is not a WM6 issue.

Well.. It worked last week in WM5 flawlessly. And when I set the port to 27 I see the phone connect on the SMTP server to port 25 as if it just disregards the port number and connects to 25 no matter what.
Really strange. Perhaps is the ROM release? I am using VSWM from 03/20. I just tested again and my authenticated SMTP to smtp.gmail.com on port 587 are going out without problems.
Let us know if you find the problem.
Just tested using WiFi and it tried port 25 even tho 27 is specified. Naturally my ISP blocks 25 so it borks out. Something is amiss here... maybe a registry setting? Maybe someone can check HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\ and see if there is a SMTP setting. Or maybe the mailtrans.dll has 25 hard-coded in the ROM I am using?

No SMTP key in mine. In fact, I did search the registry for the gmail smtp information and could not find it. It seems to be stored somewhere else.
Ugh!
So... I deleted and recreated the email account...
And it WORKS now!!! I say WTF ever
Thanks for all the input peeps... much appreciated.

Change to SMTP Port number REQUIRES a new account in WM6
I scoured the next beforehand and discovered that you can't simply tack on a ":XXX" port number to your SMTP server. it actually requires that you delete the account and re-create it with the port number string.
I figured this out once before, but then of course, forgot it and when setting up my email on my new Dutty 6.1 rom (r0xors!), learned the hard way again.
Hope this helps,

Thanks Humbert! This did the trick for me on my Polaris and for my colleague on his Tytn II.

there's no need to erase the account, just go to the email settings on pocket outlook and ad ":xx" the outgoing server. example "mysmtp.com:27"
worked fot me in my htc touch.
Hi ... I have a problem with the configuration of my email account.
I need to change the default SMTP port 25 with another because my ISP use another ... How can I change It?
The version of my ROM is 3.30.

Apologies if I am wrong on this one but don't you just add it to the end of the mail server address in options?
ie. if mail server is : mail.server.com and you want to use port 2525, then you put in:
mail.server.com:2525
I cant get this to work - anyone know if it would be possible to create a cooked rom with a given port hardcoded into the pocket outlook app?
Dave.
port 2525 sounds like a socketmail email service
nah, 2525 is a common mail services alternate port to get around the ISP's blocking of port 25.
My mail service will also use port 587.
Anyway adding :2525 after the mail.server.com works fine here.
serverort does work
I am using servernameortnum currently in WM6 on my hermes, so it does work.
I am using port 465, the secure SMTP port. that, or 587 (the mail submission agent port) is likely unblocked by ISPs, but you would have to make sure that the server is listening there, and you will almost certainly need to authenticate to the smtp server. Many servers will only allow authentication over a secure link, so you might need SSL enabled too.
I had trouble however with SSL and SMTP AUTH in pocket outlook. If anyone else does, this might be useful: http://lists.exim.org/lurker/message/20040609.135310.ba09a6e4.html
Based on that link I ended up needing to make sure my mail server started conversations on port 465 in SSL/TLS mode (rather than waiting for a STARTTLS). For anyone using Exim, that means setting "tls_on_connect_ports = 465" in your config. For people using a commercial mail server, you might just have to try lots of ports and setting permutations.
So the short version is that serverort does work, but there are other concerns as well.
note that is "colon" "p". or a dumb looking little face.
Hi,
I'm having some problems with default Mail application of Android under HTC Desire for sending mails through my personal mail server.
I host my own mail server with SMTP Authentication but *only* with Android Mail application it seems to ignore username/password I provided under the account settings so no authenticated session is done on the mail server and this one reject the client because of this. SASL Authentication is properly working with other clients (Windows mobile pocket outlook, Thunderbird 2 or 3, Outlook ...etc)
Do you have such other similar experience/problem with SMTP Auth within Android 2.1 please ?
Thanks by advance,
laurent
Hi, i'm having the same problem using the corporate SMTP server (which works for everyone else). Might be a bug on the email app?

hi !
thks for your reply, now i know that i'm not alone
I was afraid of this ... it could be a bug
I searched on Google about this problem but found no interesting entry anywhere about it like if nobody saw it ?!
Do you know if there is a sort of BugZilla for android OS please ? Maybe we could find an entry there or at least enter a new one if necessary ...

Hi, the email application belongs to the Sense, so HTC should fix it. The stock Android email app works (tested on a Samsung phone with the same SMTP server) but is not available on Desire.

Ok, thks for this information, sorry I was thinking this one was the default mail application from Android
so we have nothing to do other than waiting and cross our fingers that HTC release a fix asap ...
if you want the default android one, i ffound it on a post here somewhere....cant find it now though, but you can download it from http://rhedgehog.com/apk/email.apk
If someone can upload it to rapidshare or something (no access here at work) it'd be cool.
Edit: Oh by the way, have no issues with my server. Auth turned on, standard SMTP, SSL off. no idea what software my host is running on the server though.....
hi,
thks for your reply !
do u mean smtp auth is working properly for you ? if so can you give me firmware version of your htc desire please ?
thks

SMTP Auth is working fine for me with SSL, I use Runbox premium mail service.
I am running software version 1.15.405.4
1.15.110.11
Hi again,
Thks all for your informations, I also have 1.15.405.4 and so did some new tests with SSL enabled/selected this time and SMTP Auth is now working !
If I go back and disable SSL, I have no logs on my Postfix server-side about SMTP Auth and client is purely rejected.
By the way, for my curiosity I tried with the Android default Email application rhedgehog provided (thks) and with this one SMTP Auth is working with SSL selected or not ...
So, as a workaround, I finally kept SSL on but did not find yet the last word of this problem !?
@alebolic : maybe you should try with SSL on ...

I have a Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S on t Mobile. I have no pop3/smtp issues on all platforms and devices including my Blackberry 8520, 9700, and Pearl. I have two POP3/SMTP accounts that I need email to send and reviece from constantly allday. Sinc eI bought my Android phone I have had nothing but issues on both the defaul internal client and with apps like K9 for example.
Whether I am rooted or not, fresh reboot or after it has been on or idle, smtp always fails a few days after adding account and POP3 works occasionally. I have tested full and as needed syncing, other SSL ports and etc other than the recomnmended and still pop3 is sporatic and SMTP fails frequesntly a few days after thet account are created in the phone. I had zero issues on my Blackberry, I just dont understand why these phones are giving so many people issues.
?? I am begining to wonder if everyones issue is a task killer killing an app that is needed and it is not opening when needed?
?? Is there a underliying push to make people use Gmail and apps instead of the phone?
It must be a base system issue because POP3/SMTP apps behave the same way. As everyone knows Gmail works fine always. My Yahoo! Mail app works perfect as well.
WA: I just use bookmarks I placed on my Home screen to access my mail via browser.
Not sure if it is relevant, I use a service called authsmtp for all my outgoings, and it is a little irritating when being set up on Android HTC Desire froyo. The first time it tries the access and says the host isn't responding, if you then say you have ssl it then produces a checkbox saying login required and you can enter a username/passw combo. After that it works.....
Seems like the requirement to let it know you have secure access isn't geared to the first attempt to set up.

Same problem here.
The HTC Desire Z mailclient does not support SMTP Auth with my mail server.
I checked on my mailserver to find the problem, but the phone does not try auth
at all.
Server says "220 ... ESMTP Sendmail.."
Phone sends "EHLO [..ip..]"
Server answers
"
250....
...
250-AUTH DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5
...
"
Phone sends "QUIT"
The Phone shows "server does not support authentication".
BTW: this phone is the only client I tested with this bug. Working clients are: Thunderbird, iPhone, iPad, aso
It seems HTC mail does not support the provided Auth methods. If anyone of you has a working setup, could you please tell me which mailserver it is or tell me what auth method
would work ?
Have you tried authsmtp as I mentioned? They were aware of the original problem I had and they may well be able to fix the Z issue.

So, my girlfriend and I both have the EVO 4G. I'm trying to setup her email for her college-John Jay, and I'm having problems with the outgoing. She called John Jay and they said it shouldn't matter which port we use for the outgoing, however it's not validating. The server is imap.jjay.cuny.edu, the incoming port is 143. To my knowledge I'm thinking that the port 25 for outgoing is restricted... is there anyway to get around this? Thanks!
try 587, that is usually used for encrypted smtp transmission
i did try 587, but that was with the pop... but i will try it later, thanks
update: i tried 587, no go, i think the problem is with the jjay server. they claim is doesn't matter what port we use, but it's not authorizing. the most i can get is the incoming working and no outgoing. of course, no one at john jay knows anything :/
Give port 465 a try too. If helpdesk is telling you port is irrelevant, they're idiots. Proper server and port are needed for functioning email - if either is incorrect, email will fail to send.
Most schools have a web page with outlook or generic pop/imap settings. Btw, do check the pop setting for outbound email. Imap is strictly for inbound, and has no affect on outbound.
ok so, it's not anything with android, it's the school. the server's all messed up and they're not providing any info on what it is. i tried setting up the email on outlook and it was the same thing, so no worries, got the incoming working, that's all that really matters.
Btw, you can use a DIFFERENT outbound server and still have it show your school email address (or whatever you want). Most(all?) smtp servers require authentication if you're not on their network. Once authenticated, it doesn't matter what the sending email address says.
Hey. Do you mind giving me the info for the outgoing server that the only part Im missing?
