Hi guys n gals
Was hoping someone here with an Orange Desire could give me the correct settings to get a Hotmail account set up in the HTC Mail app?
The following settings worked perfectly on my Vodafone Desire, but don't work on my friend's Orange Desire.
I've found a couple of places on the net that suggest changing outgoing port to 587 or 2525, but having spent a lot of time checking and double-checking I'm a bit hacked off trying random configs, and hope someone who actually has it working can give me their settings, please?
Thanks!
Incoming:
Protocol - pop
put email address in and user name put email address in again
put in password
pop server - pop3.live.com
security type - SSL port 995
Outgoing:
tick log in required
put email address in as username
put in password
smtp server - smtp.live.com
security type - TLS
server port - 25
I got a Orange desire but Im running Froyo ROM with those settings (587 TLS for outgoing) and it works fine. They also worked on Pays Bravesoul 2.1 ROM.

OK, Nekromantik we'll give that a try, thanks
Anyone else confirm these are their settings too on Orange Desires?
My friend has tried Nekromantik's settings, but no joy :-(
Anyone else on a standard Orange ROM got Hotmail working?
Incidentally, I've tried setting his Hotmail account up on my phone using TLS and 587 on the outgoing port, and get the same result as him - it doesn't throw back any errors when completing, but when you try and look at his emails there is just one in there (which is not the case with his email box).
And the email in there is timed/dated from the moment you finished setting up the account on the phone, and says it's from Windows Live Hotmail Team, and the content of it is just "This is an old news letter and has expired".
Think this might indicate some sort of problem with Hotmail rather than his phone?
The only other difference between his and my Hotmail accounts is mine is a brand new Hotmail.com account (that I only created to test and help him set his up), and his is an older Hotmail.co.uk account that he's had for a number of years...

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 all,
I got my Desire yesterday. It is a gorgeous device, but has one fatal flaw. The POP/IMAP manual e-mail setup in HTC mail is not working.
Gmail or Hotmail work fine - there is no need for a manual setup, the phone does it for you.
But Yahoo, or any other custom mail does not work. When setting up the incoming and outgoing mail server, the phone gets stuck at the incoming mail server setting and doesn't advance to the outgoing server setting as it should.
After you set up the incoming mail server you hit next and the phone checks online and a popup says "Verifying account settings". After this is done, I believe it should advance to outgoing server settings, but it doesn't and gets stuck at the incoming server settings screen...
This is a very fatal mistake and problem - one of the main functions of a smartphone not working...
Can you guys see if it works for you - maybe its only my unit that is faulty?

I got it set it up on my University IMAP fine, I had this issue but just had to change the security type to TSL.
Unfortunately that doesn't work for me...
It is very weird, as the same settings worked with K-9 mail app without any issues...
I got the same issue so I use K-9 Mail instead (which I prefer since it seems to push my emails faster)
I can't get it to sign in to gmail. I have a @googlemail account, and it just fails to verify account information every time. All other mail accounts, Hotmail and proper POP3, work fine.
That's cause you use the Gmail app for Googlemail, not the normal mail app

I prefer to use the HTC mail widget. Anyway, I got the thing going now, by connecting via imap instead.
I'm in touch with HTC customer service and we're trying to figure out what is wrong. I'll set up a test account for them so that they can test it and see why the e-mail is not being set-up. Will update later...
i set up gmail as an exchange server.. Only done it half hour ago but it should be push now
I'm also having this same issue. (Trying to use SSL.)
Anyone manage to made Yahoo Mail wotking on IMAP? I have an YahooPlus account and I can connect using a WM device, but no chance with Desire [using the same settings as in WN device]. On Desire, it stuck on first step - setting of incoming IMAP mail server, saying each time "wrong username/pw"....
Same issue for me

Not IMAP but with POP3, yep. Works flawlessly.

Has anyone sorted this out ? I've having the same issue with the imap setup on my desire. Very frustrating after shelling out for this thing.

Have you tried using the stock Android mail app which can be found here:
http://rhedgehog.com/apk/email.apk
I prefer this to the HTC Sense mail app and its much more flexible/configurable during the set-up phase, I had problems with my Uni account swapped to this and no problems since then using IMAP, POP and SMTP
I also have difficulties getting IMAP+SSL to work with the HTC mail application.
I suspect it has something to do with the certificate. The server I'm trying to connect to doesn't have a verified certificate, and you don't get prompted to accept the certificate, as you do if you use the K-9 mail app.

I had same kind of problems with Hero after upgrading to android 2.1.
Problem seems to be related to setup procedure. It is not able to prompt certificate acceptance dialog. But if you setup account with address that is not existing or where is not imaps service running it will say that it can't verify account but you are able to continue. After creating account launch mail application, go to settings and put real server name. At this point it will prompt certificate acceptance dialog and after that it is working.
I of course had the same trouble on my Aria but managed to get it working by following these instructions:
first open mail.
enter manual setup.
INCOMING:
as for settings:
protocol: Imap
Email: [email protected]
user name: youraccount
password: your password
IMAP server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
security type: none
server port:143
OUTGOING:
login required is checked
user name: youraccount
password: your password
SMTP server: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
security type: none
server port: 587
NOTE: if it still wont let you set up incoming server, try first entering in a non-existent server. such as imap.mail.yahoo.commm or something. it will give you an error message but hit continue. NOT OK! from there set up outgoing correctly.
then exit.
then launch mail app and select that account. click menu-more-settings-account settings and enter the correct server address.
hopefully this works for you guys as it did for me.
--Edit--
forgot to add, if possible, make sure wifi is off.
also, I have discovered that htc mail wont log in unless you are SIGNED OUT of your yahoo account everywhere else. i had my laptop automatically loading yahoo's web pasge and i guess it was messing it up. so sign out of yahoo mail before closing your browser.
hope this helps.
sent my yahoo and my talktalk account up on my phone..fine!
HOWEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had to do this on my WiFi as it would not connect over 3G...
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.
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.
Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
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.

hey cant seem to get the email service working on all ICS roms including the Virtuous RC3 one, it just says username or password invalid. How is this possible?
cheers
Some more information please!
Which email provider do you have?
Have you try to set up the email account not automatically?
Maybe the informations that your phone get are wrong and you must set up the account on your own!
I have RC3 and my mail works fine! Googlemail and an other provider
Hi, I'm trying to use the email client with microsoft outlook exchange, Gmail works fine. I input my email address and password and click exchange and it just says details are incorrect. I dont understand why, because this has always worked before.
Thanks
Mmmh okay it's seem to be that exchange makes troble!
Some people reported already the problem:
[URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21611103&postcount=1510[/URL]
So that means you have to wait till a update is relased or you change the configuration on the exchange.
But i have no experience with exchange server =( I can't help you with this!
