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.

This is so frustrating. I select 'New Account' follow the prompts and enter all the data (I have done this many times on other devices) get to the end and press 'Finish' it takes me back to the Outlook e-mail but the account I just creted is not there.
There are no accounts, this is driving me crazy. No error messages, it just doesn't create a new account.
Anyone got any ideas?

Hi..I have a Blackstone with an email problem Is there a way to turn off outlooks "auto" settings? Im trying to get yahoo mail working (the payed for verison) with pop3. However when I setup the account in outlook it automatically detects yahoo settings for the free version and Im unable to change from IMAP4 to POP...someone suggested manual setup but I cant figure it out. Ive also tried making an account like @yaahhoo.com then going back and changing but it will not allow the original email to be changed. Any help appreciated.
THANKS!!
on the second page of "setup E-Mail" should be the field "try to get e-mail settings automatically from the internet"
try to unmark this and now you can add your settings manually....
Hi Guys,
I have set-up my HD2 to receive mail from my hotmail account. It works ok, but somehow will not store my password (yes the 'save password' box is checked).
Now I need to type it everytime I want to check mail, it is very annoying
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or how I can solve it??
Tnx
So i used this hack to setup my gmail, hotmail an windjammercable mail in activesync so i could get push notifications for all my mail in one central app. Here is the problem, when i set the update schedule to push in offpeek time it causes my phone to continously do a data sync every 3 seconds non stop! Is there any setting that will get this working correctly?
Windjammercable mail uses google servers for their mail distribution.
If i set peak to push, an off peek to manuel, then changed peak to start at 8am an off peek to start at say 7am would that fix my problems? Or does peak an off peak require 12hrs gap between the two?

This is a bit of a hack.
From the forums I read while trying to resolve this problem I noticed it worked for some people and didn't work for others. I my experience with software, I've learnt that software is not really erratic. There's always a pattern.
After trying all sorts of combinations, I came up with a process which has worked for me 3 times. You can all try it out and let me know if it works for you.
The process involves pretending to setup a hotmail account using ActiveSync (which will fail) then changing the settings to that of a gmail account. I know it sounds bizarre but it worked for me 3 times. The steps are below.
Pretending to setup a hotmail account
1. Go to the Launcher screen
2. Tap on "Email" icon
3. Press Menu
4. Add account
5. Enter full Email address: [email protected] or [email protected]
6. Enter password
7. Tap Manual Setup
8. Choose Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
9. Domain\Username: your full email address (example: [email protected] or [email protected]). DO NOT USE "\" in front of the email address. You are not in any Exchange server domain.
10. Your password is already filled in from Step 6, ignore it
11. Server: m.hotmail.com
12. Use Secure connection (SSL) - Yes
13. Accept all SSL Certificates - Yes
14. Tap Next
You should see a checking server settings message ... mine took around 3 seconds.
Account options window
Email Checking Frequency - Automatic (Push) [<- that is the whole reason you wanted this, right?]
Amount to sync - your choice
rest of the four option - totally your choice
Tap Next
Choose account color - your choice
Tap Next
Account Name: Hotmail or WLM (or whatever you want)
Tap Next
At this point you will get the error message "Failed to create the account. Please try again later."
This is expected as a result of a bug with the HTC mail app. Now, moving on to setup the actual email account we're going through all this for.
Setting up actual Gmail Account
Tap "Ok" and tap the "Back" button twice.
Change the email address to your gmail/googlemail address.
Change the server address to m.google.com, leave to domain blank and
Change the username to your full email address.
Of course you need to change the password as well.
Also make sure SSL is checked.
Hit the "Next" button twice and then enter and "Account Name" if you wish. Finally tap "Finish Setup".
DONE! Hopefully your account should be ready to go!
Give it a try and let me know how it goes.
