Has anyone sucessfully got google mail to work with WM5? I know gmail works, but googlemail is the uk version, and it doesn't seem to want to work, even when I put in all the correct details.
Have you remembered to activate POP settings in googlemail?
My googlemail account has exactly the same POP Options as my gmail one (and that successfully gets to my Exec)
EDIT:
Exec settings:
Username: [email protected]
Account type: POP3
Incoming mail: pop.gmail.com:995
Outgoing mail: smtp.gmail.com:465
Under Options, tick "require SSL connection" and "outgoing mail requires authentication", but not the seperate settings one.
I've just set this second account up on my Exec and it's working.
Good luck!

Everytime I try to send out an email from either outlook or the pop 3 messaging options i get:
Outlook - the email just sits there in my outbox and does move
Pop3 - the email gets moved to my drafts folder and I get a message saying System Admin - Invalid message recipient
Can anybody help
Thanks
The problem lies in your POP settings...though some accounts allow you to use the correct outgoing mail server - ie the same as you'd have in Outlook - most have problems and you have to set it up in a different way.
Leave the incoming mail server as it already is, ie if you're on btinternet "mail.btinternet.com". However, change the outgoing mail server to "smtp.o2.co.uk". I don't think you need to tick the "requires SSL connection" in options, but if it still doesn't work then give that a try. I had the same problem regarding "invalid recipient" on an old Clara.net account I had, but once I put in the smtp.o2.co.uk" it worked a treat.

I have 2 identical Fuzes, both have been upgraded to NATF's 2.2. One is working just fine, but one refuses to send email to a GMAIL account. I've checked the settings and it can get mail just fine, but can't send. Does anyone knoe of any problems with GMAIL and the Fuze?
For my Gmail account to send emails, I had to:
In the email tab, select accounts ->accounts -> Menu, Options -> select Gmail -> edit account setup-> next,next,next -? Advanced Server Settings -> Require SSL for Incomming and Outgoing email checked.
I think that should fix your issues, the "Auto configuration" got everything fine except for that settings...
double check the email account in question to see if pop3 access has been enabled, its in the gmail options (log in to your gmail account via pc and check it).
I had this problem yesterday and it could be the same.
Apparently there's a bug in WM6.1 that if the server doesn't answer once, it cycles to a blank server name. There's a fix out for it.

I orginally fixed the problem by deleting the account and re-making it but this is supposed to be a permanent fix.
Switching to SSL didn't help. I'm using IMAP vs POP but I'll check that.
Ive noticed many a member having issues being able to send out Hotmail emails.
Figured this out in about 5 minutes, hahaha.
I have since a few minutes ago and have been able to change some settings to fix it and get it fully functional.
Note I changed these via the E-Mail app K-9 but it should be the same for HTC Mail (Default) Email program within Android if you experiencing issues as well.
Tap Menu from within your inbox
> More
> Settings
> Account Settings
> Sending Mail
> Outgoing Server
Enter these exact settings at this screen:
SMTP Server
"smtp.live.com"
Security Type
"TLS (always)"
Port
"587"
Have Require sign-in checked
Authentication Type
"PLAIN"
Username
"Your credentials"
Password
"insert obvious here"
Hit Next, test it by sending yourself an email and thats it!! Enjoy
You can't imagine how thankful I'm for this. I've been struggling with this to the point of giving up. This worked like a charm.
You are so the man! Thanks! Huge help!
I'd been using TLS & port 587 however after rooting my Inspire I tried it as an Exchange setup. Before root I couldn't get the exchange to work & had read there were issues with Exchange, Hotmail (or live.com email), & the Inspire.
Its really odd. Now it seems to be working.
~Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync~
Email: [email protected] or [email protected] or [email protected]
Server Address: m.hotmail.com
SSL: Enabled
Username: [email protected] or [email protected] or [email protected]
Password: password
Domain: <blank>
Update - I woke up this AM and the sync using the exchange settings seems to be hosed. It's trying to sync every few seconds and the email notification keeps sounding. It's obnoxious to say the least!
When I setup my email with the email icon as well as with the gmail app, everything synced up nicely, but i have not been able to send or receive emails. Says "sending" and nothing happens and new emails do not come in. Also it seems to say unable to connect to server a lot in the email icon. Although i have almost a full wi-fi connection. Ideas? Thanks.

Thanks rjan, but i'm still having trouble with this. For the email icon, since i had already set it up, i went in and hit the menu button and wen to "more" I saw the income mail field and changed it from imap.gmail.com to m.google.com and then when i hit next it still says unable to connect to server. I have a wifi connection so not sure whats up with this... also having trouble with the gmail icon which i also synced and setup, but after it synced, i cant send or receive new emails. Ideas?
All it needed was to be restarted

Lol for Gmail when you choose manual. Use Microsioft Exchange setting not Imap that's why

Yahoo mail works fine for a week than stops. Says it can't send. So I go back into the settings that I have not changed and it says that authentication failed on outgoing server. User name and password incorrect. Don't see how since I never changed it. So i put the correct one back in. Doesn't work. I delete email account. Enter same user/pass and ot works fine. Few days later same thing. I have tried this on pop and IMAP. And suggestions?

Same here. I didn't change anything but somehow it stopped working since yesterday.
This similar problem happened like 1 month ago and nobody seem could fix it.
The good thing was it came back to normal after a few days. It seemed Yahoo is the one having problem and it went back normal after they fixed their system.
I hope same thing is happening now.
UPDATE!! Now it works! here is how:
- I delete HTC Mail widget
- Try to reinstall widget and setup new account
- Widget said my Yahoo account is locked and I need to go to my computer to log in & unlock manually
- I tried to log in through my pc and my password was denied several times (Weird.. since it was ok yesterday)
- I chose option that My Password Is Not Working
- Reset my password and log in successfully thru my pc
- Go back to HTC Mail, setup with new account info..and VOILA...it works again.
this worked for me
From:
mobile.yahoo dotcom /mail/android (I'm not allowed to post links yet)
And I'm doing this to get to an sbcglobal.net account which is ATT which is for some unknown reason controlled by yahoo!. Note: these setting are different than the settings I need to use for my laptop. There its a POP3.
Good luck:
IMAP is another way you can get Yahoo! Mail on your phone. Using IMAP you can download messages with your mobile client, so you can access your mail even when not connected to the mobile Internet.
How to set up Yahoo! Mail with your mobile client using IMAP
1. On your phone, press < Home >, then open the Email application.
2. On the 'Your accounts' page, select Next to get started with setup.
3. Enter your full Yahoo! address and password, then select Next.
4. On the next screen, you can give the account a nickname and choose the name to display on your outgoing messages. Tap Done.
If prompted, supply the following information:
1. Incoming Server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
2. Outgoing Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
3. Incoming Port - 993 (requires SSL)
4. Outgoing Port - 465 (requires SSL)
5. Username: full email address ([email protected])
6. Password: is the password you login to Yahoo! with

I concur, I've been using similar IMAP settings for over 12 months that have never failed me yet, ..first on my desire and now on my sensation.
Similar to above suggested settings, with different ports.
Here's my trusty old settings for Yahoo mail....
Incoming settings
Protocol: IMAP
Enter your complete email address for user name, example: [email protected]
Enter password as normal.
IMAP server: imap-ssl.mail.yahoo.com
Security type: None
Server port: 143
Outgoing server settings
Enter your complete email address again for user name
Enter password as normal again.
SMTP server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Security type: None
server port: 587

Try the Yahoo Mail app, it's pretty good and it's push.
