Hi,
I am using phoneweaver and wifi ruler to do many switches based on wifi / location / time etc. Unfortunately it does not do what I would like.
When I am on the road I need my email smtp server set to my mobile provider. When I am at work (wifi) and need the smtp server of my work and when I am at home (wifi) I need to set the smtp server of my home provider.
Is there an app that changes the outgoing email (smtp) server based on a location?
Best regards,
Gert

Gert,
Did you ever find anything that met your requirements?
Have you thought about putting an alias into your hosts file? It would only work if they both used the same authentication but you could switch the ip address of them. You'd need to have your phone rooted and to do the switching manually though. Just a thought.

There are 20 wifi-devices (all free accesable) with strong signals around my house. My device gets connection only with 1 device which has very weak signal. All other devices (with strong signal) are not accesable. I get the error message "Unable to obtain Server Assigned IP address". So I can't make a connection (for internet).
Any idea what the problem is and how to resolve this?
Try to set the Power Save Mode setting to Best performance. Is it helpful?

Probably, there is no dhcp server in the network...
You have to contact the network's administrator and ask for an ip address, then set it manually.

FUZEinMYpants,
Are you using a large outfit like gmail or something like your company email? If the latter, does it only work on wifi when you are on your company's wifi network or Starbucks' wifis as well?
The reason I'm asking is that depending on the email servers (there are two, one for sending, the other for receiving mostly) you may only be able to interact with them if your coming from an IP address that falls within the range of whatever the administrator set. I for example could not send email when I went down to Florida because AT&T gave me a too different IP address than what I get in New York so I had to ssh into my email server and modify the range.
Your admin may only allow email to be relayed out and/or read if you're on the LAN which in this case, in your office or college on their wifi network connected to the local area network to which the mail servers are connected.
If that's not it then we may have a connectivity problem with your settings. Maybe a bad proxy configuration, your email server doesn't like wap.cingular which is behind a nat, maybe your email server requires a type of encryption you're either not specifying or is not supported by Pocket Outlook, maybe they're using imap and not pop and you're mixing that up, maybe they don't have encryption but they used funky ports for the vanilla protocols -- I'm going to stop typing until you tell me what the story is with your email setup.
In the meantime, to hold yourself over with the phone and without wifi, consider getting your mail through a webmail thing your server may run (I run roundcube) using Opera or PIE, depending on the webmail interface.

Check the setting in your email settings under advanced server settings and make sure that it says Netowrk conncetion media net or att isp. I have seen it default to Work and that locks it into Wifi. I send and recieve email everyday on EDGE since I do not have 3g within 40 miles of here.

Yahoo
Hey guys and gals, how do i receive/send or in any way use my yahoo mail account without the need of yahoo mail Plus!?
It's a big problem for me because it's the only email i use and i don't want to have to log in via browser...
is there an app of whatever, just how do i set it up!? please help
Background
How do i setup my background to a personal jpg picture without the need of always cropping the picture (i would adjust the right resolution via my PC)
to have your yahoo account work with any mobile phone, including android phones, you first need to change your yahoo account so that it uses Yahoo! Asia. Follow the steps below:
login to yahoo email
click Options -> Account-> Add or edit an account
click on Account Information from the menu on the left
change Preferred Content to Yahoo Asia
log out and then log in again
the create a new account in the Email application on your phone
fill in your email and password and then click Manual setup
Change POP to IMAP
username should be your yahoo username
IMAP server: imap.mail.google.com
Port: 993
security type: SSL (always)
Click next
SMT server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 465
Security type: SSL (always)
That's it. There is only one thing to note here. This works only with mobile networks and not with WiFi. Yahoo has some sort of deal to only access yahoo imap servers through mobile networks
hope this helps
thanks a bunch, i'll give it a try, that would be a lifesaver...and i don't mind not using wifi for mail since wifi is mostly awailable to me only at home and i can access yahoo on my pc so no worries there
any comment about the background?
hm...ssjowowo i have a problem, i'd appreciate a little more help
i followed your steps and i entered this:
Change POP to IMAP
username should be your yahoo username
IMAP server: imap.mail.google.com
Port: 993
security type: SSL (always)
but after clicking next it says: "Setup could not finish - Unable to open connection to server"
I used the pre-installed "Email" app in x10.
I had one more proble which is maybe causing the first one. In the yahoo setup i couldn't find "change Preferred Content to Yahoo Asia", where is that located exactly? What i did instead is changed the regional settings to Yahoo Asia! hoping that that's what you meant. I can give you screen shots if you'd like?
Do you use wifi or 3G/GPRS? Remember it won't work over wifi. Try using some of the other options for security type if nothing else works
sorry Astral07 didn't read you whole message. you have to change your location to Asia for this to work. I can write a more detailed guide when i get off work
No problem man, thank you for helping...a more detailed guide would be great
anyhu, this is what i've got
Your yahoo is now set in Asia. That's corect. Now on your phone follow this guide:
1) On the email app, enter your email add and password. Then click 'Manual setup' below the screen.
2) Click 'POP'
3) For username enter your full email address. ex: [email protected]
4) Next enter your password
5) POP3 server: pop.mail.yahoo.com
6)Port: 995
7) Security type: SSL (Always)
8) Delete email from server: Never
9) SMTP server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
10) Port: 465
11) Security type: SSL (Always)
12) Put a check on 'Require sign-in'
then if you are asked again just re enter your username and password
done!
thanks but after step 8.) i press next and i get: "Setup could not finish - Username or password incorrect."
i entered it like 5 times, i know my password very well i've also tried ucing just the username without the @yahoo.com but that didn't work either
what the hell is wrong...?
the username should have @yahoo.com
Are u connected on the internet? If you are using 3G try using wlan. It should work
i tried with @yahoo.com, no go
ofc i'm connected i tried 2G, 3G and wlan...no go
i don't think the conn is the prob...why would it say that my password or username was incorrect?
You are better off using IMAP because POP doesnt support folders nor email states from the server. So if you use POP, all your emails will get downloaded and marked as unread. IMAP supports both.
Astral07 try using these settings
Incoming server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 143
Security Type: None
SMTP server: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 587
Security Type: None
Both these and the previous ones I posted before work for me
i don't know what to tell you...again, i got the same username or password incorrect message
i am 100% sure that those are correct, i also tried my second yahoo account and it said the same thing
Try using the K9 app from the market. It should work no prb from there. What carrier are you using? Maybe they have it blocked or something
hmmm, i'm on Tele2, i'll ask them but i doubt it
i'll try k9 now and report back
i tried ssjowowo's setting for imap and had the same username/password wrong
looks like it doesn't matter which protocol i use, i get us/pass wrong even with k9!
wtf...
i tried both pop3 and imap

I tried setting up imap on my yahoo mail but i get the username/password error. On pop it works fine. Now did you register your imap using wifi or 3g? cos i found this: http://mobiletech.knguyentu.com/2009/11/motorola-droid-setting-up-yahoo-mail.html
Caution: Before Proceeding, ensure that WIFI is turned OFF. This only works via Verizon 3G Signal.

so im assuming that this set up would work via 3g signal only?
i tried 3g, 2g, no wifi, every possible setting and still i get the username/password error
That's so weird. Im on O2 (UK) and both setups work fine. Maybe the problem is down to the carrier not supporting it which is even more weird. It took me ages to set it up the first time on my Hero. Now I just follow these steps. It worked first time on my X10
I have a problem with several Android phones, in that I need to change the Exchange server name. They have all worked fine externally over 3G as the server name they seem to have been set up with (e.g. domain.com) resolves to the external IP address of the network, which serves Exchange and web servers etc.
However we now need to connect them internally via a WiFi network but on the internal network the web servers and Exchange are on different servers, so domain.com resolves to the web servers and mail.domain.com resolves to Exchange. As mail.domain.com also resolves to the same IP as domain.com externally, they should have been set up with mail.domain.com from the start, but only now we are needing to connect via WiFi is the problem showing up.
Anyway, long explanation, short question: how do I change the server name, as from the Edit Account screen the Server Address box is greyed out?
Hi
I had wifi in my office where we could use net without any problem, now proxy server has been set up. I know all the settings but cant figure out how to enter IP Address in my HD7 (Mango) manually to start browsing.
e.g. the proxy server IP is: 192.168.0.1
Now I need to give an IP to the phone myself, say: 192.168.0.69
But the phone is automatically giving itself IP: 192.168.1.xx
This is very annoying as I am unable to sync my mail in the office.
Any help will be highly appreciated
You can edit the WiFi network settings for the particular network, by tapping and holding on it.

Only the server etc. can be edited when proxy is turned on, there is no way to edit my HD7's own IP address
