Can't Send email - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First off, I am running Synergy Rom on my thunderbolt, and love it. I have noticed that I can send and receive emails fine on Gmail, but my other email will only receive. I have reflashed the ROM tried various different email apps from the market, and redownloaded the ROM and flashed it. My email works fine on every other ROM I've used, so I know I have my smtp server info right. I tried searching for this answer but nothing that helped me came up. I read through several pages of the synergy Rom thread, but don't have time to read all 487 pages. Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it. I would like to stay with synergy if I can get my email to work.

You are not using POP3 mail with RoadRunner are you? I had same problem and needed to use different settings for outgoing server to send but could receive fine.

xv6850 stopped sending emails! Ideas?

I configured my phone with Gmail out of the box, it functioned perfect for a few weeks, and now for some reason it will check and download my email, but will error when trying to send any emails.
Any idea why this could be?
Yah, that's happened to me too, I just deleted that gmail account, made another one that checks the same account, and it worked again...kinda annoying, but it's a 2 min process.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have seen so many repoorts of this over at PPCG and from firends of mine with the TP.
Maybe a GMAIL issue? Not sure but your not alone.
i've tried remaking the account on the phone to no avail. good to know at least I'm not alone!
I started seeing this problem with IMAP servers on WM 6.1, have compiled some info on it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374663
I haven't had to recreate any mail accounts after applying the MS WM 6.1 patch linked in that thread. A soft reset is all that's been needed since.
I've got my fingers crossed for WM 6.5 to be a real fix. I'd like to give that 5.2.21014 a try too if it ever comes around again...
go to mail2web.com create a free account (Exchange Support)
go to Gmail settings forward ur gmail incoming mail to [email protected]
now setup push e-mail on ur phone through active sync
ull get the e-mail within 5 seconds of it being received, and u'll save some battery juice cuz ur phone is not checking for new e-mails every now and then.
IMHO it works flawlessly, i have my hotmail and gmail going through push, as u can forward as many e-mail accounts as u want
MOE
As it turns out a second soft reset and delete>remake the account on the phone got my email working again.

Gmail IMAP on VZW TP

So I've searched all the threads, googled everything, and tried for days to get it working, but no luck.
Has anyone out there had any success with gmail and IMAP setup? I'm on a stock ROM with VZW. IMAP works fine with my work email address, and I've followed the steps from the google wiki, but no luck.
Any suggestions or help is Much appreciated!! Thank You!!
Here's the Google wiki imap info setup:
https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78886
(oh, and my specific error is "Messages cannot be downloaded to your mobile device. Make sure you are connected and that your email account settings are correct. Then, try to download messages again." I have of course gone through the setup numerous times double and triple checking the directions and my account info.) Thanks!
Well, after going to all of the effort to post, it looks like I have it working. I just started from scratch and created a third IMAP account for gmail with the same settings, and this time it worked!! I don't know the variable... I deleted the bad account and now all is well. Thank you to all who read and I'm lovin xda, thank you!
Well, if it makes you feel any better, I had the same problem with a Yahoo! business email account. It took several attempts using the same settings to get the emails to come through. Third time really is the charm. I know I didn't add information to the thread, but at least I know I wasn't alone with this issue
Maybe someone else can reply who knows what we may have done wrong so in the future, this won't happen.

E-mails not showing as read using hotmail

Hey all,
I recently upgraded to ICS on my samsung galaxy SII using KIES. Since the update i cannot get the stock e-mail client to show my hotmail e-mails as read on other devices.
For example, when on GB if i read an e-mail on the phone while i was out, and then checked my e-mail on my computer when i got back home. The e-mail would show as read on both devices.
But since ICS the e-mail only shows as read on the phone, is there any way to change the settings so that it works the same as it did on GB?
All other e-mail/calender/contact syncing works correctly as does sending/recieving and deleting e-mails. It is only the read massages that seems to be an issue.
My phone is not rooted and is XEU model running 4.0.3 XLPS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
I had the same problem using email configured through Samsung sns.
I ended up using the exchange (push) option during setup. Once setup, goto menu / settings / tap your account / scroll down to "in case of conflict......" and change to "....... update to server"
Works for me.

Thank you for your suggestion UpInTheAir, i have tried this on my phone but i am still getting the same results :-( Do you have any other ideas?
I haven't used K9 email from Google Play since Froyo days on the HTC. You could check it out and see if that's working. The only other thing I can come up with is trying another firmware or custom ROM.
Ok, just rechecked myself. Seems to be intermittent!
I had some showing up as thread as well. I increased from 3 days to 1 month sync andlet it reload the app inbox, selected the first unread and refreshed my html email.worked, showing the previous unread message as read. Now I read another unread and or doesn't work. When back to 3 days sync and didn't work.
Bummer, just wonder if this is for just hotmail account or other. Will have to search XDA and Google to see about this bug, surely the question had been asked somewhere before?
Edit : tried a couple of modded email apks but no good.
Tried official Hotmail app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hotmail.Z7
Any changes to inbox seem to work and will show up on the Web inbox within a few minutes. Emptying the trash folder doesn't sync with the server though. Also don't know if it's a battery hog and causes wakelocks etc. yet.

Your problem is soved with root here
OK the answer:
A modded Google ICS email works prefectly.

Might try wanam's hacked LP8 stock email

But of course you'll need root

[Q] Disappearing emails in email app.

Hi there,
i am using the email app to collectively get yahoo and gmail account emails.
However, some of my messages just disappear as soon as I read them from the notice bar.
It seem that emails read thru the email app -- directly -- stay there.
There are no options, or none i can easily find saying to delete messages from server or anything, but *those* messages also disappear without trace from server as well.
I experienced this with gmail as well as yahoo mail. just this morning the last time.
I am using v1.6 of ressurection remix, will upgrade today to 1.8.1, however, i think this might not be rom related as i think it happened in the past with other dev roms.
Any thoughts on this? For now i just disabled notifications in system bar and see if still happens...
thanks for any idea on how to fix this.
It seems i was too fast to upgrade. the data doesn't seem to connect to telus' 3g/h+ network anymore.. in device status, mobile network state keeps saying 'connecting'.. After a while it reads 'disconnected'.
I guess i will just have to wait and see what other 1.8.1 upgraders have to say.

Can't sync email on s3

I just flashed omega rom and everything is working apart from the default email app( microsoft exchange acvtivesync) which I use to send/receive email on my 2 hotmail accounts.
When I set it up it just keeps scanning and searching but no email comes through.
I've nothing frozen in titanium so it can't be that.
Any suggestions on how to get this back working?
I did a full wipe/reset prior to flashing the rom so I don't know how to go about fixing this!
Any help would be appreciated.
