Hey all, I've set up my school email fine on the iPhone 4 and my S3 (had to switch due to signal issues), but I can't seem to get it to work with my Razr M that I've been using. I go to add new account -> other -> manual setup -> imap and I follow these instructions on my school website Set up Your Email Client - UBIT but I can't get past "checking incoming server settings" it just tells me "couldn't open connection to server."
I have my email and password right, for imap server I have in "imap.buffalo.edu" and port 993, security type SSL, authentication method auto.
if you set it up the same way you do on your s3 and iphone and still have problem, it maybe a problem with your Razr M email app,
try using a different email app from play store

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
So, I'm a bit of a noob when it comes too this stuff.
Basically all I want to do is be able to sync my google contacts to my phone.
I'm running CyanogenMod on a HTC Hero.
I'm at the Server Settings screen where it asks for:
Domain/Username:
My Username Here
Password:
*******
Server:
gmail.com
EDIT:
Sorry, I figured it out.
That's how I have it set up and when I attempt to go to the next screen it says "Setup could not finish: Unable to open connection to the server."
Im trying to connect my Infuse to a ms exchange server. The phone is running 2.2 and is not rooted. I have selected setup a new mail account. I have put in the following:
[email protected]password
Then I hit "manual setup" and selected ms exchange server.
Then for "domain\username" i have sunsetcorp\username
Password is entered
for "exchange server" I have mail.sunset.corp
Then I also have use secure connection and accept all ssl certificates checked.
Its says "checking incoming server settings". Then I get "Setup could not finish ... unable to connect to server"
Do I the settings wrong or am I missing something?
Looks like u have it set ok. I have to do [email protected]/password and run it multiple times to get it to sync the first time. Keep trying its not perfect at all. You can also try droidmail if u still can't get it

I would ask your IT dept. for the exact server information to be sure you are inputting the correct server info. Everything else is good to go in your setup so it has to be the server name is not correct causing the failed connection.

Take out the domain setup all together.
I run SBS 2003 and you do not need to set up the domain. I run the following on dozens of phones.......
Domain/Username (must be exact usually with no spaces)
Password (case sensitive)
Exchange Server (mail.yourcompany.com)
uncheck Use secure connection (You can check it later if you wish after you have it working)
Hope this helps! If so please hit the thanks button for me!
For the exchange server try using the IP address of the server. This is the only way I could get mine to work.
This sounds silly, but have you ever connected another phone to this server? That setting isn't always available. Also, I've found the / or \ can make a huge difference. Also, check to make sure you are using the primary email account and not a secondary alias for the username. The email address can be an alias but username has to be the actual NT username. Hope that helps!

Have been using Exchange for years and work very closely with our Exchange guy's and the username must be Domain\Username if you are on a 2003 box and usually but not always the username on 2007/2010 would be the email address but the Domain\Username should also work according to the experts. If you are using Active Sync which we are I am pretty sure that SSL is a requirement because it connects to Exchange using RPC over HTTP protocol and requires SSL being enabled. Like I said a quick call to your IT people should get it working toot sweet.

I use SBS2003 and do not have the domain name. User name only. (the domain username though) Been working for years that way. mail server is the important one to have the domain address correct in. mail.xxxxxxx.com
If I put the domain name in front of the username it does not connect.....
I suddenly have a problem after loading Zeus. My external SD card is working fine then when I set up the exchanger server and get my mail working it wants to encrypt the SD card (according to company policy)
Now I no longer have access to the SD card, it says cannot mount or format and I if I remove the exchange account I get the SD card back.

Mine is doing the exact same thing. I loose the external SD card and I get it back if I remove the exchange account.
Any ideas??
I still cannot figure out why I loose my external SD card.I have re imaged the phone, changed sd-cards.. no fix in sight
I have this very annoying bug in Windows Phone 7. I wonder if anyone has any kind of work around for this:
"
Reverse proxy configured to use Certificate Based Authentication for Exchange Activesync
Exchange CAS servers configured for Basic Authentication for Exchange Activesync
The users can synchronize when the connection is first setup but after a while the device stops presenting
basic authentication credentials to the Exchange CAS server and starts prompting for username/password continuously.
"
Thank you very much.
