Hi,
I experienced this before and it's very strange. I have a pop account forwarded from Yahoo. I have the premium Yahoo mail so they let me do this with the following proxies:
pop: plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com
smtp: plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
the incoming stuff works fine, the outgoing for about 2 days has been saying that it can't send any messages out.
What is going wrong? I have tried creating a new Yahoo account.
I've tried assigning the outgoing mail server to Sprint as opposed to "The Internet"
I've tried taking off the plus at the beginning and turning off SSL required.
NOTHING has worked.
Any help would be most appreciated.
SMTP is used to send OUTGOING mail..the POP server handles the incoming mail.
You will need to set your SMTP server to : smtp.sprintpcs.com (or whatever carrier your're using's SMTP server)
Assuming you are on Sprint AND you have a dataplan/PCS mail account :
You will need to know you Sprint PCS MAIL login (do not put in the @sprintpcs.com part) and password (which is not always the same as the PCS Vision password used to setup your Dial-up from your phone).
You can reset the password on the Sprint site, you have to hunt around for it though.
PCS mail is going to be dropped by Sprint at the end of this year, so be prepared for that once you get it working.
I had a similar problem using GMAIL, and I fixed it by un-clicking the Server requires a SSL connection for outgoing mail. In your mailbox settings you can change that

I have had no trouble sending and receiving e-mail when I am connected to the servers of my ISP. That is, dial-in ISP, to which I connect via cell phone, where the pop server and the smtp server belong to the ISP where I also have my e-mail account.
The moment I connect via GPRS, all I can do is download my e-mail. When I try to send, I get all sorts of error messages stating that the servers could not resolve the recipients' names. Is there a way around this? :?: Do I need to specify a proxy. How does anyone else connect via GPS and send e-mail from their regular ISP POP account?
i have the same problem
so far i've used the workaround which is
that my isp (which is not my cellphone gprs isp but my cable isp)
have a www mail gateway so i can use IE to login to that and send my mails that way
Yeah! I do that, but when I reach the web mail page and try to click open an e-mail, nothing happens. So that is a dead end for me! There has to be a way around the SMTP issue. We'll figure it out!
Hi
Are you using the smtp address of your pop3 provider or your gprs provider?
My xda ii is connected via an orange uk sim and i use it to both send and receive email from my o2 and blueyonder accounts. In order to send from these accounts i have to use the smtp address of orange ie smtp.orange.net rather than the smtp addresses of my pop3 providers.
Hope this helps
Chris
Indeed it would help if I only had a means to find out the smtp server for my cell phone service provider. Believe me, I've tried and no one ate Telecom Italia Mobile (TIM) has a clue as to what I am talking about. I tried smtp.tim.br and smtp.tim.com.br but neither worked
Any clues...?
try something like relay.tim.it or they should have some data support.
According to an NSLOOKUP against their domain name, their primary mailserver is smtp1.tim.com.br - try that.
Fork.
Hi everyone!
Fidlling with the smtp settings, I finally found out how to send mail over a GPRS connection using your ISP's pop mail account.
Everyboy, when set up an account, must fill in the pop.ispserver.com and the smtp.ispserver.com. It so happens that using the GPRS smtp (those who have one) or using pop relay, is trcky and does NOT work! The solution is:
1. Goto Inbox
1.1. Select Accounts
2. Select the account you want to edit (presumably the account you been able to download e-mail but didn`t allow you to send e-mail)
3. Enter you POP mail e-mail address (step 1/4)
4. Enter user info (name, user and password) (step 2/4)
5. Enter account info (type is POP3 and name will be grayed) (step 3/4)
6. Server Information (step 4/4) critical step
- fill in your pop account info (pop.ispserver.com)
- fill in your smtp account info (smtp.ispserver.com)
- leave domain blank!
6.1. Click Options and don`t check anything! Goto step 2/3
6.2. Select (checkmark) outgoing e-mail server requires authentication
- Do NOT check Require SSL connection
- Select Only display messages from the last X days, if you want
Click NEXT and you are good to go!!!
It worked fine for me with TIM in Brazil and Cingular in the US! Some POP3 services don`t allow this kind of connection!
Hi, I'm new to this site and definitely not a "techie", was wondering if anyone can help?
Recently purchased a QTek 9100 (aka imate jam, wizard?) and set up a new messaging profile for use with lineone (Tiscali) in the UK. I'm receiving e-mail no problem, but whoever I try to send to Ithe message is sent then returned to the draft folder and in my inbox I get the message
"System Administrator, Your message 'xxx' was not sent and has been moved to the Drafts folder. The following recipients are invalid: [email protected]"
Any ideas?
Solution??
I had the same problem. My solution was to open an email account with vodafone (its free) and created a rule to forward my mail to the new vodafone email address. I can recieve and send mail via the vodafone account with no problem. I think that many isp's don't allow you to log on with mobile devices.
I have a signature set up saying the mail was sent "ia my Kjam but please reply to my work email address", so i have a copy on my desktop and on the mobile device.
Only drawback is that you must logon to the vodafone account and delete you old meassages once in a while.
Hope this helps
Isn't it just the outgoing smtp server that is wrong?
Isn't it just the outgoing smtp server that is wrong?
Yes, I sure your right about this. I found that I get really fast, 100% logon with Vodafone email solution. I have worked in Spain, Italy, USA since I got my 9100, the email is always there every 15 mins. I need to be in touch, this works for me.
Thanks for the responses,
Yes I've set up a completely new account with Vodafone, this allows me to send mail and then I connect to lineone to receive. I don't particularly want to have my mail re-directed through Vodafone so this seems to be a good compromise.
Hi guys, looks like your smtp address is wrong, like q-big suspected. You can use the pop server of your email account to get mails from any mail server, but when you want to send mail over themail servers of your mobile provider, be sure to set the smtp server to the one Vodafone (in your case) uses. example: I have various email accounts on my Wizard. My incoming mail server (POP server) is different for each of my email accounts, since they are with various different email services. My smtp server is the same for all of them, namely T-Mobile smtp, since all my email will be sent out using T-mobile gprs.
Try setting the smtp server to the one your provider uses and you should be ok.
have you made sure you have authentication tcked for your outgoing mail? go into your account settings for the mail account you want to use. press next untill you get to the screen where you put the incoming and outgoing mail servers and click options, next and tick "outgoing mail requires authentication"
as your not connected to the internet using your isp (tiscali in your case) you have to authenticate to send mail too to stop people spamming from there servers
Yep, you just need to use the vodafone's smtp server and that should solve your troubles.
HTH

I had this problem. I spoke to my ISP who supply the e-mail addy in question.
They said that they blocked e-mails coming from any other connection than their own - i.e. unless you send the e-mail from your home computer (with the ISP account) it will be blocked and get that "invalid recipient" message.
There's a post out there somewhere that gives other "outgoing mail server" settings which seem to work, but that's on O2, not Vodafone.

I think on voda the smtp server is send.vodafone.net
i know it sounds odd, but it worked fine when i was on voda in the UK a while ago.
I had a same invalid error but it was just the smtp port AND smtp authentication. PUt both of those together and worked!
My POP3 account works fine for incoming email but when I attempt to send outgoing it says "looking for changes" then errors out. When I switch over to WIFI outgoing emails send just fine. My ISP is Cox. Any ideas why this is occurring? Thanks
Don
I ran into this too and searched google about it, the answer seems to be that most ISP's block use of their smtp server for outside domains even if you have a user/pass. When you switch to wifi you are using cox again so it works.
Something about preventing abuse by spammers. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Supposedly you need to call your wireless provider and set up an email account with them to send email from your phone. What I did was set up a free hotmail account and used Windows live because I don't feel like talking to Sprint any more than I have to.

I'm talking to the 4th tech person from Sprint in the last hour so I know exactly what you mean! They indicated that I have to use Spint's smtp for outgoing but that's not working either. Maybe I'll try a hotmail account. Thanks for your help.
I was able to get ahold of Sprint's EVDO Support at 866-818-1944 and suprisingly they were very helpful and were able to get my outgoing email working.
My ISP (Cox) blocks all outgoing email that originate from a different domain. Although I had set up my smtp as sprintpcs.com I had my Sprint Vision password incorrect. Once the tech reset my password outgoing emails now work fine.
Ok, From my understanding yahoo mail does not have IMAP. My mogul does have IMAP and receiving folders from yahoo mail. How do I get my outlook at home to mimic my titan????
Upgrade to Yahoo Mail Plus
Is your mogul still "sending" and receiving email??? I can still receive email, but can no longer send.
Yahoo send problem
Around noon yesterday I suddenly lost the ability to send messages from my yahoo account as well. Mail still comes in, I can send from other mail accounts, just not yahoo.
I gave it a day, deleted yahoo, and recreated the account using the 'auto setup' from sprint. That didn't fix the problem, so I'm on hold with sprint support right now. Talked to 2 people who were of no help - didn't even pass the problem on, just tranferred me, waiting for the good tech support now (25 minutes so far, glad I used the work phone and not my mogul!).
yea just had the same issue, VZW had no idea. Yahoo screwing things up?
Sprint support
36 minutes on the phone, 3 different "technicians", and the last one (the only one who had a clue) had me set my outgoing mail to smtp.sprintpcs.com instead of yahoo's.
It works, but is a definite work-around.

Alltel said to do the same thing. The only problem is that it does not show who it came from properly. By using their outgoing server, what do others see when receiving it? If it was just a personal account I would not mind, but this is my business account.
I got mine to work by entering the pop3 settings, but now all my personalized folders are gone.
any idea of what will work on verizon?

I am on Verizon and I have a Yahoo Plus account. I used the auto setup for yahoo.com and got IMAP for incoming, but it had issues with another setting. The Plus instructions on their pages only tell you about the POP3 Incoming service. This was not what I wanted because the IMAP4 service will allow you to sync more folders than just the inbox. After a couple of experiments, I found that by starting from scratch and setting up the account configuration manually, I could use IMAP for the incoming. All is good now!
Here are the settings I am using for IMAP4 for incoming and smtp for outgoing.
Incoming mail server:
imap.mail.yahoo.com
Account type:
IMAP4
Outgoing (SMTP) mail server:
plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
From the Outgoing configuration page-
Advanced Server Settings
SSL NOT Required for Incoming e-mail ****IMPORTANT****
SSL IS Required for Outgoing e-mail
Good luck
Bill
Yes It Works With Verizon - Free Yahoo
Hi Everyone,
New here, but loving it. The Messaging Application will work "sometimes" with the free yahoo accounts, because Yahoo blocks access to their SMTP server unless you have a Yahoo Plus! account.
HOWEVER - Verizon and Yahoo have a partnership.
Just adjust your settings to use Verizon's outgoing email server.
Incoming Mail Server:imap.mail.yahoo.com
Account type is IMAP4
Outgoing Mail Server:smtp.vzwmail.net
[x] Outgoing server requires authentication
[ ] Use the same user name and password for sending email
Outgoing Server Login:
Username: (yourphonenumber)@vzwmail.net
Password: The password you set up for www.vtext.com
This isn't really a workaround... it's the solution. You're still using your yahoo account, but Verizon's outgoing mail servers are doing the sending instead of yahoo's so that you can do it for "free" by paying Verizon instead of yahoo. Hope this helps!
What a valuable first post, mogulecule! Thanks. I happen to have VZW and two Yahoo accounts: One is Plus ($20 a year), the other free. I'll try this and report back if they behave differently.

You need to list in detail the steps you've already taken as setting up POP email is essentially a trivial exercise and their shouldn't really be an issue in doing so.
One common mistake is to use your ISPs SMTP server for outgoing mail - this generally won't work as typically they are set up not to relay mail from external networks. In this case, you need to use your telecoms providers SMTP server, or a 3rd party open relay.

ok i do this touch mail on main screen
touch pop mail
enter email address and password
hit manual set up and then it gives me pop server
security type and serverport
now i have these as a do in outlook however outlook lets me specify the outgoing mail and incoming mail server as mail.the---------------.co.uk and smtp.the---------------.co.uk
but the phone only allows me to but .the---------------.co.uk
are you saying i shoul put 02.co.uk here instead ?
Once you've set up the POP side of the your connection, you should be prompted to set up the SMTP side of the connection for which you would often use your cellular providers SMTP server (though some ISPs allow authenticated SMTP access from external sources).
What is your mail providers full address as "mail.the---------------.co.uk" doesn't help much to check the settings. You also didn't say what you used for your security type and server port.
Regards,
Dave
thanks dave got it working
i realised that when i entered mail. it then gave me another screen for outgoing and i used smtp and they worked - allset up and raring to go now!
thanks
