N5 wont let me set up Pop3 email account. Called my IP and verified I had all the correct incoming and outgoing settings. Keep getting "Couldn't open connection to server.

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.

Now that i have "the real thing" i would like to setup my gmail account with outlook mobile so that whenever i am connected to wi fi i can download my messages without having to open PIE. I would also like to do the same thing with my hotmail email account. How can i do this?
Have a look here - and then normal po3 account?

I do have POP setup, but it won't download messages, it can connect, but it won't download any messages. As for windows live hotmail, i cant connect with that either, i think it has to do with my settings under connections, then connections. Like with all the network and dialing rules.
you configure the incoming and outgoind mail right?
incoming mail: pop.gmail.com:995
outgoing mail: smtp.gmail.com:465
options: page 2: Outgoing mail requires authetication
Ok so i now got both working, but my gmail automatically removes my messages once they have been downloaded once. How can i fix that?
probably because there no "new messages" set the "Only display messages from the last "x" days to more days
or unset this option
The option was off, and after it had downloaded the messages once and i tried it again they all went away. My Windows Live ones stay the same though.
prefix your user account name with "recent:"
for example, my gmail account is "baarod" so I use "recent:baarod" and my normal password
see http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=47948&topic=1555
does it need quotes around it? and do i put this infront of the email adress or user name?
EDIT: nevermind i got it. Thanks a ton. Now both are working.
@Baarod
Thanx for the "recent:" tip... this was driving me up against the wall... Have you ever had it that messages you sent from Gmail (sometimes when sent from PPC, always when sent from PC) appears again, from yourself, in your Gmail Inbox?
Yeah. That's "normal" for gmail. Has something to do with it being conversation-based. If you look in gmail through the browser you'll see that actually the same thing happens, your responses to email get attached to the message you replied to.
anyway to turn it off?
I set up my Yahoo mail as Imap and ATT mail as POP3, both receive fine but can not send, does anyone have the same problem or know how to fix it.
Thanks
Double check your outgoing server settings (authorization or not etc.). You should get help on your email providers websites (how to configure, step by step).
some mobile providers may block certain outgoing servers require and you may have to route emails via your mobile provider outgoing server.
or you can try using gmail's outgoing server assuming you have a gmail address (I think I have tried this once and it's worked).
I cannot seem to get LIVE email to function properly. I can get email in, but cannot send email out. When I set up, I can do incoming settings, but when I get to outgoing settings it says "cannot connect to the mail server to verify your account information".
Anyone help?
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
