Problem with SMTP server in email account - Windows Phone 7 General

Hello,
I have 2 accounts (WL and GMail) on my LG E900 and I would like to add another email account.
It isn't WL or GMail, is from my domain, hosted in one of companies.
I added, and IMAP works fine, but SMTP not... When I try to send email, account syncs... and syncs... and syncs... as a result, I received information "requires attention" and error code.
I read about problems with yahoo, and about ports settings, tried several settings and other wifi/gsm ISP, but nothing work.
Here is servers info:
IMAP:
Host: imap.mydevil.net
143 PLAINTEXT/STARTTLS
993 only SSL
SMTP:
Host: smtp.mydevil.net
25 PLAINTEXT/STARTTLS
587 only STARTTLS
465 only SSL/TLS

Click to collapse
So I tested:
smtp.mydevil.net:465:1
smtp.mydevil.net:465:0
smtp.mydevil.net:587:1
smtp.mydevil.net:587:0
Every time fail...
Here is a test account data:
L: [email protected]
P: test

Can anoyone check this on you Windows Phone device?
I added account on old Nokia Symbian 60 phone, and it works great...

Does the server use certs from trusted authorities? If they are self signed then you will need to email them to the phone and install them.

Are you sure it's the smtp server that's not working? Have you tried different imap addresses? I tried to add the e-mail on both my WP7 (no succes) and my iPod (no succes, but it said that the imap server was not responding or that the login/password were wrong).

Yahoo Mail outgoing 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 Kavana's 6.1 ROM which automatically found imap settings for Yahoo Mail.
Now I cannot seem to send emails but I can receive them fine. Every once in a while maybe every couple days I will be able to get a message to send out. I have tried different areas of town, recreating the email setup, even reloading the ROM. Nothing seems to help.
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)
Any help much appreciated!
Are you using tmobile, and have you configured your by going to accessories and connection setup.

I've been having the EXACT same issues for the past 2 months! My outgoing Yahoo! mail worked fine for about 2-3 months (after flashing Kavana's 6.1), then all of a sudden none of my emails would go out. It's SOOO FRUSTRATING... I deleted my Yahoo! account, then set it up again. It worked for a day then went back to being crappy. It's gotta be an issue with Yahoo!'s outgoing servers, because Gmail works just fine via Dash.
Yes I have T-Mobile - forgot to mention that earlier - and Yes I have setup the data connection. Like I said before it works sometimes but usually it fails.
If I use the same setup on T-mobile's WM6 ROM it works fine. So something in Kavana's ROM is a little different. I have seen other postings on this forum and other forums with people having the same issue but never seen a resoltuion.
I have deleted, recreated, modified, manually setup, automatic setup, and used pretty much every configuration I could think of when setting this Yahoo! account up on Kavana's 6.1 but nothing works so far.

Actually I had that same problem with WM6. Whether or Not Emails would actually get sent was a crapshoot.so I used Y!Go
Funny you all mention this because I thought I was doing something wrong!
I had no problem with Yahoo at all until 6.1
Now I can't send OR receive mail..
Maybe Yahoo changed something?
Here's something that might help in this sending Yahoo! Mail problem. I found it out on the 'net; the solution has to do with the ports that Yahoo! uses to receive mail. I didn't want to post it until I had it running for at least a month without problems, and it seems to work.
Normally, Yahoo! uses port 25 to receive mail, but since that port is the most popular, it uses SPAM-screening routines on that port which ends up rejecting a lot of sending mail connections. But there are two other ports. One seemed to work really slow. But port 465 has worked for me for over a month, no problem at all, I can send every time.
Okay, so how to use it? Go into your Yahoo! email menu on your phone. Choose Tools > Options > Account Settings > Edit Account Setup. Press "Next" until you reach the "Outgoing (SMTP) mail server:" screen. Where it reads "smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com", add this at the end: ":465". (So the whole entry should read "smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com:465".) Go "Next" until you reach "Finish" then "Done." Then try it out.
I hope it works for you. Strangely enough, now I have occasional problems RECEIVING mail, but not sending. Oh, well, that I can live with.

XV6800 465 fix didnt work
the 465 fix didnt work with my XV6800 any other ideas?
even more weird...
I'm having the same problem, but it's only on one of my two yahoo accounts that will not send. Everthing was working fine until the upgrade to Rickywatt WM6.1. I have two different yahoo (well really SBCGLOBAL.net) accounts a business one and a personal one. I have been over them with a fine toothed comb and the settings are exactly the same, but only one of them is sending. They are both receiving just fine, but only one can send emails.
How weird is that?? I tried the 465 port change and I still get an error to "Be certain you have network coverage and try again" I'm stumped!
this should help man, i found the fix and posted it in another forum but this will do the trick.
anyone who has been having problems sending emails from yahoo or any other account try this fix, straight from our good buddies at microsoft....

Link is sending me to the wrong place
If I did this right. There is a cab file attached at the bottom somewhere that fixed my email. It is from microsoft and it's called "Windows Mobile 6.1 Hot Fix for Sending POP and IMAP E-mail" The link in the earlier post was taking me somewhere else. I hope this link takes you to the right place:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=D9D71B2E-D2DD-44F2-86E5-1E53AAD7FB7A&displaylang=en
So far this has worked for me and Rickywatt version of WM6.1...I don't know if this will work on anything but WM6.1. There is a PC(msi) version and a CAB version. I used the cab version. Hope this helps others out too.
This cab seems incompatable with NightRavens 6.1 ROM.
I also have had similar issues with Yahoo setup in 6.1. The dropdown box that should allow for a choice between IMAP4 and POP3 is grayed out - it is not an option. So they force you to use IMAP4 when seemingly none of the server settings work correctly. Has anyone has any luck with IMAP4 settings in Yahoo?
pop mail sending problems
If you know how to modify the registry then you don't need the cab. It's really easy, and one of the posts linked to the exact instructions. A few months ago I tried to get this made into a sticky since it affects everyone with the 6.1 ROMs, and not being able to send email is a pretty major problem, but the XDA admins didn't seem to think it warranted a sticky. Lame.
Anyway, here's what you do:
It is fixed by adding a registry key called "Operator" (without the quotes) to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Inbox\Settings\
Then, inside the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Inbox\Settings\Operator key you add a String Value named "OutgoingServer" with value "127.0.0.1" (again, both without the quotes.) A soft reset should be done after saving this.

Incoming and Outgoing Mail Server Settings for Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, GMail, AOL and more
the Google Gmail service offers a SMTP server (outgoing mail server) for Gmail accounts. To use the Google Gmail SMTP server, use the following information:
Google Gmail Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): smtp.gmail.com
The Gmail SMTP server requires authentication (use the same settings as for the incoming mail server)
The Google Gmail SMTP Server requires an encrypted connection (SSL) on port 465.
Why & when do I need these settings?
Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, GMail and other providers are basically email services designed to provide you with email mailbox accesss directly from the web. However, going online and logging on to their sites is not always the most convenient way for reading and sending emails.
On the other hand, you have the alternative to send and receive emails through such a mailbox by using a local email client software, such as Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook, Thunderbird, Thunderbird, etc. In order to properly use it, you need to configure your email software with the incoming and outgoing mail servers of your email provider (Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo! Mail or else).
Mail Server Settings
Hotmail Settings
As other web based email services, Hotmail is using the HTTP protocol for connecting you to your mailbox. If you want to send and receive Hotmail emails using an email client software, then your software must support Hotmail HTTP access for your email account. Some email clients, such as Outlook Express or Microsoft Outlook, offer builtin support for Hotmail accounts, so you only have to select HTTP when you are asked to select your email account type and select Hotmail as the HTTP Mail Service Provider.
Yahoo! Mail Settings
Unlike Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail offers standard POP3 access for receiving emails incoming through your Yahoo mailbox, by using your favorite email client software. To setup your email client for working with your Yahoo account, you need to select the POP3 protocol and use the following mail server settings:
Yahoo Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.mail.yahoo.com (port 110)
Yahoo Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - smtp.mail.yahoo.com (port 25)
Google GMail Settings
The Google GMail service offers email client access for retrieving and sending emails through your Gmail account. However, for security reasons, GMail uses POP3 over an SSL connection, so make sure your email client supports encrypted SSL connections.
Google Gmail Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.gmail.com (SSL enabled, port 995)
Outgoing Mail Server - use the SMTP mail server address provided by your local ISP or smtp.gmail.com (SSL enabled, port 465)
Lycos Mail Settings
The Lycos Mail Plus service allows you to use POP3 and SMTP servers for accessing your Lycos mailbox.
Lycos Mail Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.mail.lycos.com (port 110)
Outgoing Mail Server - smtp.mail.lycos.com or use your local ISP SMTP mail server
AOL Mail Settings
The AOL email service is a web based system, designed for managing your AOL mailbox via HTTP IMAP access. Unlike Hotmail, you can use any email client to access your AOL mailbox, as long as it supports the IMAP protocol.
AOL Incoming Mail Server (IMAP) - imap.aol.com (port 143)
AOL Outgoing Mail Server - smtp.aol.com or use your local ISP SMTP mail server
Mail.com Mail Settings
The Mail.com email service allows you to use POP3 and SMTP servers for accessing your Mail.com mailbox.
Mail.com Mail Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop1.mail.com (port 110)
Outgoing Mail Server - use your local ISP SMTP mail server
Netscape Internet Service Mail Settings
The Netscape e-mail system is web-based, which means you can access their e-mail from any Internet connection. Netscape Internet Service also supports AOL® Communicator, Microsoft® Outlook, Microsoft® Outlook Express, and other POP3 e-mail software. The outgoing mail server needs SSL support, so make sure your email client software supports SSL connections over the SMTP protocol.
Netscape Internet Service Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.3.isp.netscape.com (port 110)
Netscape Internet Service Outgoing Mail Server - smtp.isp.netscape.com (port 25, using a secure SSL connection)
Tiscali Mail Settings
The Tiscali email service allows you to use POP3 and SMTP servers for accessing your Tiscali mailbox.
Tiscali Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.tiscali.com (port 110)
Outgoing Mail Server - use your local ISP SMTP mail server
Freeserve Mail Settings
The Freeserve email service allows you to use POP3 and SMTP servers for accessing your Freeserve mailbox.
Freeserve Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.freeserve.com (port 110)
Outgoing Mail Server - use your local ISP SMTP mail server
Supanet Mail Settings
The Supanet email service allows you to use POP3 and SMTP servers for accessing your Supanet mailbox.
Supanet Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.supanet.com (port 110)
Outgoing Mail Server - use your local ISP SMTP mail server
If your email client does not support Hotmail as a Mail Service Provider or if it simply doesn't work with your mail server settings, you can use a 3rd party solution like Hotmail Popper, IzyMail, POP Peeper or Email2Pop. When using such tools, you should define your Hotmail account as a POP3 account and you will need to define your incoming mail server will as 'localhost' (or 127.0.0.1).
Even with that registry tweak I have run into outgoing Yahoo issues today with the plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com:465 server. That has always worked for me in the past - incoming still OK.
OutgoingServer case sensitive?
I think the registry key name is case sensitive.
I assume you reset your phone after setting the registry. Is it possible that you changed the case on one or more of the letters in OutgoingServer? I think that the mail program ignores the key if the case is not exact.
It works!
Just adding here that this hot fix (URL below) worked for me when I needed to fix the broken outgoing mail function for Yahoo mail on an HTC 5800 using Windows 6.1 Mobile...
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...2E-D2DD-44F2-86E5-1E53AAD7FB7A&displaylang=en
(I first connected the HTC to my laptop, then downloaded the software hot fix to the laptop and it went from there straight to the phone.)

how to set up 2 hotmail account?

my t-mobile touch pro 2 only allow me to set up one hotmail e-mail account a time, so i need to log out one and sign in again to check other hotmail e-mail. is there away i can set up and view 2 or more hotmail at the same time?
Don't use MSN Messenger or Windows Live to create Hotmail Accounts
Don't use MSN to create the account... set it up manually in Pocket Outlook (and don't let it look for settings). To do this you might need to put a different domain for your email address in the first box when creating an account and then ammend it later.
Then use Hotmail/Live/MSN pop3 & Smtp settings:
Incoming Server (POP3 Server): pop3.live.com
Incoming Server POP SSL Encryption: Yes (On or Required)
Outgoing Server (SMTP Server): smtp.live.com
Outgoing Server Authentication: Yes (On – Use POP username and password or Hotmail credentials)
Outgoing Server TLS or SSL Secure Encrypted Connection: Yes (On or Required)
User Name: Windows Live ID (e.g. [email protected])
Password: password used to sign in to Hotmail or Windows Live service
Or what about System Seven?
I use it and I believe it'll let you set up multiple accounts with multiple flavours and will push your emails so they arrive like sms, live.
VERY easy to set up and use. All you have to do is enter your address and password. Only down side is that it occasionally forgets Hotmail (but not other providers in my experience) passwords. But you just have to type it in again.
But it's beta, so it's not meant to be perfect. But it is free and I definitely recommended it.
Google it
That works! thanks

imap email

is there any issues with conecting to imap email servers. been trying to connect to my works email and cant get past the initial incomming server screen.
the settings im inputting are took straight from my G1 that is still working with the email.
any help would be good
i'm having issues with the HTC mail and IMAP as well. Can't get my gmail to download, previously used it on iPhone were IMAP worked fine.
I know someone with this issue and when I tried it I have it too
Filled in the right info, pressed next it says "Verifying Data" but does nothing, doesn't go to the next screen.
I have the same issue on my Desire. Had this problem as well on my Hero with latest leaked 2.1 roms. My server SMTP uses TLS with a self-signed certificate for encryption. Maybe this is the reason the setup fails. In prior version a pop-up used to came up that's warns about the certificate. Now I am being K9 Mail which is IMHO better then HTCs Mail app.
so it looks like its a inherent then. cheers for the replys at least i know it not just mine.
il have a look at K9
k9 setup worked first time, so fingures crossed it looks good
I have the same issue with IMAP+TLS with a self signed cert.
Adb Logging indicates the certificate not being trusted is the problem. Anyone knows how to fix this? Can I eg add the certificate to a certificatestore or setting?

Please use Axel's solution, works on desire perfectly!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6269969&postcount=14
(Turn off your IMAP server or block connection for the time of creating the mail account on device)
Something I am doing wrong because everything went well with the import however the mail app does not seem to use it
In order for the above described method to work I imagine the certificate that you import has to be the certificate of your IMAP mail server ?
In my case this certificate is a company certificate in .p7b format, so this approach will not work ?
I have the same problem. With IMAP +TLS on port 587 it looks like works, however not go ahead of the next page and I got the following errors on my mail server.
On port 465 I got the " SSL_accept error from ..." message.
I tried to install the p12 certificate, which was went well, however I'm not sure it is used by the mail app.

Have same problem here, IMAP with SSL not working .. and Internet browser with personal certificate not working ..
imap ssl with untrusted certificates (workaround)
The solution from moire76 did not work out for me. It says that the certificates were imported and I can see them in the wireless setup, but the HTC email application does not seem to accept my imported certificate as a root.
Anyways, I found a workaround:
1. Shut down your imap server.
2. Edit your account settings. (If the imap server is not responding, you get an option to continue and finish the setup!)
3. Start the imap server again.
Now the email application tells you that the certificate is not from a trusted authority and offers an option to "continue"!
Notes for step (1): If you do not control the imap server, you might get the same results if you setup a firewall rule in your network which filters all packets to the server.
I hope this helps,
- Axel

Hotmail, now with added free Exchange Activesync!!!!

i was trolling on wmpoweruser and came across this bit of GOLD
We knew the day would come, and now LiveSide.net reports Exchange Activesync support for Hotmail has finally arrived.
Exchange Activesync allows free push email support using the massive storage web based e-mail accounts, and would also allow multiple other clients to connect to Hotmail with a much better protocol than the POP supported at present.
The change as not been officially announced yet, but if any of our readers want to give it a try they can try the settings below:
email: [email protected]
server address: m.hotmail.com
SSL enabled
username: [email protected]
password: password
Domain: <blank>
Of course with Windows Mobile only supporting one Exchange Account this may be a problem with users who already have Exchange, but of course this is a problem handily fixed by Windows Phone 7.

Yahoo! Mail setup

I have searched and searched, tried and tried, but cannot get my yahoo email on my phone. What can I do? I have not had any luck at all. Where can I find step by step instructions? Thanks in advance.

When you setup the yahoo account, click the manual server setup button or whatever its called and put these in there.
Which country are you in?
I just entered my email address and password, it pulled the settings from yahoo. Why do you need to manually set it up?

Why do you want to use POP mail when WP7 already supports IMAP for Yahoo mail? BTW, Yahoo already fixed their IMAP server so data usage should not be a problem anymore.

Hmm....I'm not sure. I haven't had any issues with my Yahoo setup the 3 times I've done it. Try removing the account, restarting your phone, and going through the setup again. If that doesn't work, when you go to add an account, go to "add other" and try it that way. Other than that, I'm not sure why it isn't working.
I found the problem! After calling AT&T, Yahoo, & LG, I found the problem! I had a space in my password. I changed my password online and put the new password on the phone and it worked! So take note of this:

I found the problem! After calling AT&T, Yahoo, & LG, I found the problem! I had a space in my password. I changed my password online and put the new password on the phone and it worked! So take note of this:
NO SPECIAL CHARACTERS IN PASSWORD WHEN SETTING UP YAHOO ACCOUND ON WP7

Interesting. Very suprised yahoo would let you use a space in your password, most won't.
Glad you got it figured out.
