I use Windows Mobile 6.1 with Pocket Outlook to access my POP3 account. Until some time last year, I was able to send and receive. Then, for reasons unknown I could no longer send, maybe starting in autumn or winter 2009. The error message says (I translate from Japanese): "Could not send one or more messages. Verify that your network is functioning and that your account settings are correct, then try again."
I finally got around to calling Softbank and they suggested that I look at the port number. Well, the Pocket Outlook interface doesn't actually have an option for port numbers but I suppose that "domainname.com:587" should work. 587 is the port number that my regular Outlook is set to. I tried that on Pocket Outlook now but it doesn’t change anything... Same error message again.
The Softbank guys just keep tellng me it's not their problem, I should change the settings. So... what do I do next?
I don’t think you can change the port number for pocket outlook. flexmail will give you the option. Which email provider are you using?
However Softbank has definitely block the ports and you might need proxy settings. therefore roll the ball back ask them to set it up for you
Bulldog, thanks. You can imagine that Softbank customer support isn't supportive at all. My email provider is Verio. In fact, this is company email (my own company) and others in our company have no trouble with this. They have Softbank phones, use the same settings that I use, use the same SMTP server and have no issues. You can definitely specify the port number as I described. "domainname.com:587" is definitely OK but this doesn't solve the issue. I called my company's IT support guy and he gave me access to his personal SMTP server. Again, I cannot send. He thinks that my specific phone or email account for some reason must be blocked by Softbank....
Alex,
I have forgotten to ask...are you using the original ROM or cooked one
Besides Have you ever test your device with another POP email account and settings (i.e like Gmail)?
Still uncooked. ANd now I am going to do exactly what you suggest: do a lot of testing.
1) Same POP3 account on a different Softbank phone / SIM that I will borrow from a colleague
2) On a different Softbank phone with my own SIM
3) With somebody else's SIM on my own phone
And, as you suggest,
4) Different, unrelated POP account on my phone/SIM
Any other combinations you can think of?
Hello Axel,
The Test procedures (1-4) you thinking of are solid. They should give the answers.
Cheers mate
Ha! I haven't gotten my hands on one of my colleagues' phones yet but I dug out my old X01HT, put in my SIM card, fired it up and tried sending from there. And guess what: no problem, with the same settings I have always used (don't need to specify any port)!!! So what does this mean? My guess is that something with my X05HT is wrong. It's not Softbank per se and it isn't Verio either. So it's got to be the device... Concur?
Yes, Now I would I also think it is the device. If you haven’t yet delete the Pocket Outlook Account and re-setup again, do that first. If that did not help then I am afraid you would need to make hard reset after backing up all your user data.
Hard resert did it
Hello Bulldog, one thing I did not think of was to perform a hard reset. The lady at the Softbank shoi did that today as part of their routine to get phones ready for repair. When she did that I figured might as well try once more and blow me down, that did it. We still don't know why it didn't work before the reset but at least it now works!
Thanks again for your help!
My mail sometimes contain sensitive information. Now i like the idea of mail delivered straight to my phone...but its insecure as sometime I give my phone to people for calling n' all..
Is there I can password protect outlook...even a basic 4 digit pin will do...but I don't want my whole device to be locked with password..
If its not possible, are there any other email program for WinMo that have that feature?
Hello
I have a question for my hotmail address...
I usually receive mail from one safe address, but hotmail flags them like "suspicious message with SmartScreen"... The advice can remain for few hours or forever, i don't nkow why... I want to know if there us a way to cancel that advice manually, because i know that addresses are safe
thank you
have you tried to marked as secure email?, there must be an option
yes i did and it's not with the spam... but the red message doesn't expire...
Long story short, in Bullet points

Trying to access my bank account
Account Requires Text message code to enter
Lost my Sim Card
Have 2 phones (both no sim), laptop, tablet with Sim card
Sprint network.

How the hell do I get a text message
Basically, I was a victim of ID Theft last year, and added security to my account requires a text message. I can't change the setting in my bank account without getting into it, which requires the text message, so I'm at a catch 22. I have no SIM card in my phone. My M8 is unlocked/Rooted CMod. My S6 is stock. My Tab 4 has a sim card, but is not GSM and the sim card doesn't fit in either phone. I can't sign up for any Web Text services because it requires you to sign up with a text message verification code. I can't add a number from a friend to get the message, because I need to be in my account to do so. I had set up google voice in the past and my whatsapp number is linked as well as google hangouts, but they send a stand SMS. The bank needs me to fill out forms and stuff to gain access, but it's hard to do without a printer anywhere nearby.
In this day of technology, there has to be a way to get a text message right now to anything.
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA assist.
I'm afraid that all that can be done to solve your problem is to talk to your carrier to receive a sim card that fits (if possible), or find a temporary carrier that is available in your current location so that you can access to your account again. Keep in contact with your bank so that they understand the situation you face.
Alternatively, you can post in the Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum since your problem is not phone related. Please note that in order to post, you will need to create a XDA account.
Good Luck! - gsstudios
I’m new to all this but I need a workaround for 2fa. I didn’t verify an email with the account, just my phone. So I forgot to set my new number as a verified device. I have the password and username. Snapchat won’t help me unlock it. Or allow me to change my verification number. My old number is currently taken, I tried to buy another phone with that same number. The current owner of the number won’t pick up or respond. Any help is appreciated.
If you’re using two-factor authentication and lose your phone, change your phone number or lose access to your authenticator app, then you’ll need a recovery code to get back into your Snapchat account.
