Anyone had a problem of unable to send email eventhough you can receive ok? This is driving me nuts! I read in the XDA II page under product info/known limitations that this is normal first time sending email. They claim to just ignore the error messages and re-click on the "send and receive" icon - it should work fine afterwards.. But it DID NOT worked fine I am still unable to send emails. Receiving is ok.
Anyone out there with any insights ?
mailbox incoming/outgoing setup is fine. sheesh..
How is your network carrier?
regardless of who you use for your email account, ensure that if you are using the O2 Mobile Web service that your Sendmail server is set to smtp.o2.co.uk
I'm not too technical but I think 1 of my mail accounts requires a different login to send mail which you cant setup on the XDAII. Maybe...
For some reason I can do everything through Wifi except send emails. I can successfully receive my emails, view them, download attachments, browse with internet explorer, and chat on all messenger programs! I have spoken to upper tier level support people at T-mobile and they confirmed my outgoing settings are correct. I use yahooo small business email server and outgoing is set to: smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com. Can anyone help me with this problem?
This is the error message I get: "messages cannot be downloaded to your mobile device. Make sure you are connected and that your e-mail account settings are correct. Then try to download messages again".
timing
Is this a problem that you have just encoutnered or a longer running one. I find that I sometimes get this message if my PC is off (killing the wifi network) or if my internet provider webmail server is down. It may ahve been a glitch that will sort itlsef.
Don't bother phoning and paying fpr Tmobile support - trust me - they don't know anything about the phone you have - stick with the forum!
Hi, I've had this problem from day 1, never been able to send emails
try this
you could try instead of outgoingserver smtp.bizmail
just type in this text smtp.mail.yahoo.com
and furthermore leave the boxes requires ssl connection and outgoing mail requires authentication OPEN.
hope this works for you as it works for me.
Thanks for the suggestion... Tried it, but still no success. Anybody else?
outlook
DO you use outlook elsewhere for this/these accounts and have you double checked that the settings are identical?
Can you send via GPRS?
I am VERY happy with my xda Atom Life, but I am having a serious problem not getting voicemail alerts. I've read prior posts about this, and have given up expecting to find a way to get the standard "message tape" icon from T-Mobile. Feeling clever, I decided a great work-around was to go with YouMail - have my voicemails directed to the Youmail service where they in turn immediately send a standard text message alerting me that I have a voicemail. Well - wouldn't you know it - for some strange reason I don't get the voicemail text message alerts either! I DO get general text messages (friends, etc); in fact, EVERYTHING works great, but it's as if the Gods above are intent that I will never again be alerted to my voicemails by any method (T-Mobile basic VoiceMail or YouMail). Is there ANY work-around? Is there a common denominator here that I'm missing (other than I'm not getting voicemail alerts from two different services who use two different alerting protocols?) I'm completely stumped and have invested hours into this problem already.
Thanks for any guidance/ideas/clues,

Could it be that my MMS settings are set to Vodafone (Australia)? I'm in the USA. My modem configuration is correct and I breeze through the internet (via Edge) plus get emails no problem. Is it possible that YouMail sends its text messages MMS instead of SMS?

(sigh)
Oh well - I continue to miss my voicemails and have to keep calling in to see if any are waiting. I'm beginning to not like my xda anymore...
I have the same problem and it is driving me nuts!
I have tried all of the above. The only other option is a program called isecretary . The only realtime voice machine avail for ppc but the program is buggy and also cost minutes as it answers all calls and lets you hear the other end leave the message so you can screen the calls you want to answer and which ones you want to not answer...
My work-around
Finally got YouMail to work - the folks at YM tech support were very helpful, and it turned out all I needed was a reset of the YouMail account. So far it has been working perfectly for a week. Great voicemail service - and it's free! Sends me a text message immediately upon receipt of a voice message telling me who called. All it costs me is the text message - and with a text message package add-on, it's only $5 more a month.
I have a 200MB Mobistar Mail&Surf contract (Belgium).
I use the following settings:
incoming mail server: in.telenet.be
outgoing mail server: smtp.mobistar.be
It works fine for gprs but when I am at home using my wifi and want to sent an email, I have to use the SMTP-server uit.telenet.be from my internet provider (telenet).
Does anyone know how to set up a second outgoing mail server ?
I know with the iPhone it's possible to add a second outgoing mail server..
You have to select the email account. Scroll down and select "SMTP". Then you see "Other SMTP Server". Select "Add Server". Then for the second Outgoing Mail Server you have to enter the Host Name.
If it's possible with iPhone... it must also be possible with my HD2
Or am I wrong
Any ideas?
I don't think that you can.
Unfortunately Windows Mobile seems to lack some pretty fundamental features when it comes to email including multiple SMTP servers and IMAP Idle.
One solution is to always use your GPRS/3G connection to send and receive email. Try changing the Network Connection from "The Internet" to the name of your Mobistar connection.
Look under the Advanced Server Settings where you set the outgoing mail server for that account.
EDIT:
I should also add that if you can use your home ISP's outgoing mail server from anywhere you could leave the Internet connection as it is and set-up your phone to authenticate when sending mail and then just leave the outgoing mail settings set up for your home ISP all the time.

Yes, you're wrong. That's like saying that a badger should be able to do anything a mole can do. Hey - they're similar!
Same problem here
I have exactly this issue (but no badgers trying to be moles).
Vodafone only allow their smtp and my broadband provider only allows their smtp.
I am trying to see if my broadband company can set-up an exception to allow VF smtp through. Know some can do this.
Any othere ideas appreciated

As far as I know even Microsoft Outlook doesn't support multiple outgoing SMTP servers.
Would you be so bold as to say that Microsoft Outlook "lack some pretty fundamental features when it comes to email [sic]"?
Can you change the outgoing port to 587? If so you may find your ISP hasn't blocked this port and your hosting has opened it too.
You may also use another outgoing server with authentication turned on,. you just need the username or password. Saying that some ISPs have a relay server like O2 for third party email accounts and it looks like this "relay.o2broadband.co.uk" and that doesnt require authentication.

having had the same problem the solution i found was to simply create an additional (NEW) account whch i named [email protected] in which i specified the smtp server i use at home.
if you connect via gprs you can send via one account. if you connect via wlan you can send mail usind the other account.

Perhaps it hasn't occurred to you that we tend to use mobile phones in a different way from which we use desktop computers or even laptop computers.
For many, many smartphone owners, mobiles are with them all the time and often switch from 3G networks to Wi-Fi networks at home or at work.
Oh and if you use Outlook you will find that when you are going to send your email you can choose which account to send from giving you the option of setting up an account with a different SMTP server for sending if you want.
You could always buy a domain name with email hosting for not very much per year, they allow access to smtp servers from any network, and you get the benefit of lots of email addresses and such, decent anti virus and spam settings, etc, pretty cheap nowadays.
''2 outgoing mail servers" - im fairly sure only the iphone (and maybe specialist mail software) can do this, certainly nothing ive seen can have multiple smtp servers set.

I don't think the problem with this is so much the SMTP servers themselves not allowing access -- although, assuming the SMTP servers are properly-configured, that could be a problem as well -- but rather ISPs blocking port 25 outbound off of their network...kind of a mis-guided measure on their part, but most ISPs are doing it nowadays...so...
If you're going to buy mail hosting, you should really be buying hosted Exchange for your domain name. I've seen Exchange hosting solutions for as little as $12/mo. Then you can access your e-mail with Exchange Server ActiveSync, giving you push e-mail on your phone (rather than the crap polling paradigm that POP3 uses), in addition to allowing MAPI access on the desktop, and allowing you to use the beautiful OWA for checking your e-mail at random computers.
Hi!
In theory, I guess someone could use Mortscript to create an application that would reconfigure the SMTP servers and switch them whenever the application is called.
SUCCESS - Problem resolved!
I have investigated further and have a SOLUTION!!
My very helpful broadband supplier said that they do not block ports for other parties smtp, yet I thought mine was being blocked by them.
Incorrect - it was the mailbox supplier not accepting my request.
My web hosting company provides us with 2 levels of mailbox - standard and advanced. With advanced they offer "Roaming SMTP" which enables you to send mail using no matter what provider of interner access. They say that many providers limit you to the ISP's outgoing mail server to send email.
By using an advanced mailbox (with Roaming SMTP) and importantly using OUTGOING AUTHENTICATION, my mail goes over Wi-Fi and VF 3G!!!
SUCCESS!
I think the important thing is to try authentication with your standard mailbox supplier details. I was advised that if this does not work, the ISP/VF may be able to supply smtp user name and password for authentication through their network.
Hope that helps.
Second outgoing smtp server in Win Mb 6.5.2
I have been an O2 XDA customer in UK for 10 years but I'm a complete beginner on this xda-developers site. I can say that both MW v6.0 & v6.11allowed more than one e-mail account for a single e-mail address, just as in Outlook. But I never got the i-phone I had to do this and I sent it back. In WM 6.5 on HTC HD2 when setting up an e-mail account you can only use an incoming e-address once. This is a major defect when using Wi-Fi because ISPs are trying to stop spam by barring relay. So I do need multiple accounts set up from which to select. I am a bit daunted by the list of 60+ known ROM versions of Win Mb 6.5 listed here and don't know which solves which problems
So if anyone can tell me what to do or direct me to a ROM version here that overcomes this problem I will be very pleased. JHH

No I am sure that Outlook does allow more than one e-mail account for the same e-mail address. I have two for my O2 mail account. One has O2 servers set for both incoming and out going mail. The other has O2 in and smtp.orangehome.co.uk for sending over Wi-Fi where I have no O2 phone signal at Home. the problem is that this is possible on the earlier WM 6.0 & 6.11 phones not not in the implementation of WM 6.5.2 on the HD 2. any other ideas?

incorrect, you can set up multiple accounts using the same incoming email address, , you just have to NOT put the correct address at the start of the process, else the wizard jumps in and says it already exists.
In the same way that if you put a hotmail address it leaps in and takes over configuring the account.
Set the initial address to something wrong, [email protected] for instance, , configure all the rest of the settings, save it, then go back and edit the incoming address after.
I have two accounts that share incoming details but have different outgoing details.(One for wifi one for mobile)
Second outgoing smtp server in Win Mb 6.5.2
That is a most helpful solution to my problem. Thank you that kind person.
I do not think anyone in O2 or HTC knows this answer. I was in despair. Since a historical spat with O2 Orange Home blocks the URL of any message coming onto their severs from O2. They report at the time that 'Relay not allowed use SMTP AUTH' but that is not the reason why the outgoing e-mail on an O2 address fails. Needless to say O2 servers do not block Orange Home traffic.

Reception at my house is horrible and I'm not getting messages until I leave the area..... however when i send them.. The recipient gets then right away.... Why? And is there a way to force the phone to check for sms waiting to be received? Maybe through my wifi?

No MMS via external networks.
Verizon uses something called "split DNS" so that you can't even get a successful DNS lookup (IP Address) of the hosts mentioned in your phone's APNs if your only active interface is the WiFi I/F - but if you look up them up via the Mobile Network I/F, you can find them.
If VZW does that, then it's also highly likely that they perform ingress route-filtering in the IP layer. You can't contact VZW's MMS servers "from the outside world" - only from Verizon's own network. (Your phone's Mobile Network I/F has an IP address assigned within one of VZW's blocks of addresses).
Presumably this is done to prevent free-loading, spamming, or DoS attackes on MMS servers from networks outside of Verizon's own.
In any event, no MMS via WiFi.

PS As for the asymmetry in delay between sending and receiving at your location via the Mobile Network - no clues.

using google voice helps. i have the same problem at my house and i just use google voice
GV is probably the best bet
There is another one called text plus. Stay away from that one. My brother in law went to Europe and used that app although it worked it was like a half an hour wait to get messages. I figured there is a lot of "routing" but from home I had the app installed on my wifes and my phones. In the same house connected to the same network of course it was like 20 minutes to receive the message
