Thanks for any help.

Same problem for me. I think im going to call Verizon and have them walk me thru, cuz my gmail account won't even load my emails, so no point forwarding. If I get the correct settings, ill post for you.

Here is what I have done, that works: installed K-9 from the market.
It does work. A bit over whelming with all the choices and settings.
Gmail works but I do not want to link Verizon mail with Gmail.
I even tried to use the server settings K-9 uses, for the native email settings on the Atrix: That did not work. The settings on the Atrix are different.
Played around interpreting the wording differences.
THIS DID WORK for incoming!!
Verizon server settings that work on my AT&T Atrix:
Incoming server:
incoming.verizon.net
User name: your email name without the @verizon.net
Password: your email password
Advanced settings:
Port 110
Use secure connection: NO
Use secure password TLS: Never
Authentication: Password
Verify certificate: NO
worked!
Outgoing: Still trying to figure this out.
Help me out, or stay tuned!
Till then, I can read incoming only.

So odd, I have incoming working great.
But with different port settings.
My problem is the outgoing.
I love this better than the K-9, or Gmail app.
Outgoing has lost of odd settings.
Most do not work so help me out.
Please

These settings also didn't work. Guess im just not meant to get my main email on my atrix.

Notice! K-9, free App in the market, will automatically set up your Verizon email account on your phone.
As far as manually setting up Verizon settings on the Atrix:
Be sure to select "OK" or "Yes" after you make changes to any of the settings pages before you exit that page or the changes will not be saved.
I live on the east coast donno if there are different settings for other area's?
My Atrix is stock, but rooted, if that makes a difference.
The method used was trial and error using lot's of other " setting suggestions", until I got the incoming to work. Applied the same method to the outgoing.
Create a test email, send it to my gmail account, wait for either failure notice, or gmail to say success.
If you get past the "Wrong user name, or password failure" notification, do one server at a time till you get it going.
I like the stock android email application a lot better than K-9 from the market.
Just too many settings in K-9, but to each his or her own.
Good Luck! My phone email signature now say's: Verizon Email sent from my Motorola Atrix on AT&T.
Not sure if east versus west is the difference either. Maybe. Don't know. Im same setup as you stock but rooted. I tried the k9 and while it would get my emails, it wouldn't show me all new ones. Always was one message it didn't show and just happens to always be a vip message. Im gonna have to stop being lazy and call Verizon from a separate device. Thanks for all your help.

Greets gang,
I see other threads about sendmail but don't see anything that specifically addresses my question:
Is there an SMTP server for T-Mobile wireless Internet customers? The tier one tech didn't know what I was talking about, and the tier two tech said they don't provide one because they're not an ISP. Hmm, as near as I can tell, they're Providing me with Internet Service.
So, does anyone know of either an existing T-Mobile SMTP server that I can use (without authentication, since the Inbox app doesn't allow different credentials than the POP account), or an open-relay SMTP server? I tried smtp.o2.co.uk, no workie.
Thanks,
Chris
I know that if you setup any e-mail accounts in their T-Zones, you can use the SMTP server of myemail.t-mobile.com to configure your standard e-mail client. So I assume that you should be able to use this as well. Give it a shot. I've never tried it since I have my own mail servers.
Thanks Arkhangel, that did the trick.
For others wishing to send mail from their T-Mobile PocketPC Phone Edition
Step 1: Go to the T-Mobile website, log in, and click "My E-mail" (down near the bottom once you're logged in). Add your POP3 mail account.
Step 2:
On the Pocket PC, in the Inbox account settings, set your Incoming (POP3) server accordingly with user ID and password. Set your Outgoing (SMTP) server to myemail.t-mobile.com. Click Options and then Next (Options 2/3 page) and ensure that "Outgoing e-mail server requires authentication" is NOT checked.
8) Thanks to both hypr & Arkhangel !!
This works on my XDA as well.
As I don't have the $19.99 month internet plan with T-Mo - so I can't use internet2.voicestream.com or internet3.voicestream.com - they simply don't work for me.
I use my T-Zones GPRS instead - wap.voicestream.com (note it is set up in connections manager w/ everything set to work, won't work any other way) - its slow but still works. I am only limited to 1 Mb / month (included in the plan) but that is all I need. If I need heavier use, I switch over to my own ISP dial up account and use CSD (eats minutes I have to burn as well, unless it is the weekend - then its free :wink: ).
Thanks again!
JB
jmbneaf: T-Mobile recently changed their T-Zones options. Instead of having the 1MB limit, it's now $4.99/mo with Unlimited Access. If you use it a bit, might want to check it out.
Thanks!
I may just do that...

Alright,
I've exhausted most of the suggestions found on the internet so I'm asking for help on this one more (last hopefully) time...
I can not send MMS... I receive the ""Originator address not found" error...
I've checked the MMS options (arcsoft):
Server Name: Verizon Wireless
Gateway: *Blank
Port Number: 80
Server Address: http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms
Connect Via: Verizon Wireless (Matches the connection name under systems\connections)
Send Limit: 500K
I have confirmed the contents of the WSPheader registry but ... here they are... maybe I'm missing something:
Accept: application/vnc.wap.multipart.related
Accept-Charset: us-ascii,utf-8,iso-10646-usc-2,ISO-8859-1
Accept-Language: en
User-Agent: utstar6850
X-VzW-MDN: 1+MDN (ex. 12223334444)
x-wap-profile: http://uaprof.vtext.com/utstar/6850/utstar6850.xml
That is the entire contents of the HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\Arcsoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader key.
If I need to post any further data or info... please let me know... I know its just MMS, but for some reason if something should work and it doesn't I can't rest until I get it working....
Could it be a VzW provisioning issue? This line has never used MMS before as it is a new line. How would I go about asking VzW to confirm that the phone has been setup properly in the MMS servers?
PS: I'm using the leaked VzW TP ROM.... with Arcsoft MMS 5.0.68.46 built in...
Thanks for any help,
Little correction
In the X-VzW-MDN string, try removing the 1 before your mobile number. I know on my 6800, with the custom rom loaded to it, I had to continually go in and re-enter all that data, and in that field on my device it was always x-VzW-MDN=937*****52 (hence without the +1)
Try that, let me know the scoop....
Nathan
I can't either.....thought it was just me. I get "Message Delivery failed or message reciept failed" .Hopefully the above solution works.
Ok... so Verizon is annoying
After three calls to customer service asking them to check the MMS provisioning server for my phone number the CS rep said "Strange, it shows your number as having this feature but it isn't activated." Which could mean one of many things including the two prior people doing something wrong etc...
Anyway they fixed it by dropped and readding the feature and everything works.
Thanks for all the help!
I have an @ntlworld.com email address and I have been trying to configure my virgin mails to work on my SGS2 it wont even get past the incoming settings. It just fails to connect to the server and cannot finish the setup...
I was wondering if anyone else is facing the same issues.
I'm successfully using my ntlworld account on my sgs2.
Are you trying to connect when using a data connection? Sometimes the carrier can cause issues but I've only experienced this on sending. I suggest trying with wifi from your ntl connection.
I've set up my mail account manually in the past but this time I think it set up automatically.
Hope you get it working.

Hello all,
I'm trying to connect my phone to my company email and it never completes the step where it refers to "checking incoming server settings..."
it then displays a message "Couldn't finish: couldn't open connection to server" I'm using the same credentials everyone else at my work uses, with my own specific email of course. The settings I've entered:
Domain\Username: domain\myusername
Password: ***
Server: mail.mycompany.com
use secure connection (ssl): checked
port: 443
there are two people in my office who have the exact same phone and use the same credential setup and there is no problem. I'm currently running cm 10.1 which is the only difference between myself and them.
I have checked and searched and can't find a fix, I also tried using touchdown to no success either. Any suggestions?
I have been doing some research and apparently the only company that supports MMS over Wi-Fi is T-mobile. I want to know how it works, and more importantly I want to know why other carriers insist MMS must go over their data. I am upset with my carrier because in one breath they say "This plan comes with unlimited picture messaging" then says "but you must have a data plan to send picture messages" AND we will charge you $1/megabyte. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know this is just plain wrong. So how does it work? Is it a special app? Is is a special kernel? Rom? Please enlighten me.
Thanks

Here is an extract from wikipedia
MMS messages are delivered in a completely different way from SMS. The first step is for the sending device to encode the multimedia content in a fashion similar to sending a MIME e-mail (MIME content formats are defined in the MMS Message Encapsulation specification). The message is then forwarded to the carrier's MMS store and forward server, known as the MMSC (Multimedia Messaging Service Centre). If the receiver is on another carrier, the relay forwards the message to the recipient's carrier using the Internet.[5]
Once the MMSC has received a message, it first determines whether the receiver's handset is "MMS capable", that it supports the standards for receiving MMS. If so, the content is extracted and sent to a temporary storage server with an HTTP front-end. An SMS "control message" containing the URL of the content is then sent to the recipient's handset to trigger the receiver's WAP browser to open and receive the content from the embedded URL.

I'm no expert, but I think the problem is that the store and forward server of your carrier are just accessible over your data connection and not connected to the internet. So you are forced to transfer the data over your data connection.
It seems odd that my carrier would restrict access to its MMSC server to 2G/3G/LTE only. Here are the addresses for (Telus's MMSC)
MMSC: http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mmsc (seems like just a regular web server)
MMS proxy: 74.49.0.18
MMS port: 80 (just like a regular HTTP server)
MCC: 302 (i don't think this has to do with the MMSC)
MNC: 220 (" " " " " " )
If they are restricting to just data plans that is obviously a way to get money. And I don't agree at all with that kind of policy.

I just looked into the MMS specifications.
The communication between your mobile phone and your carrier (the MMS Proxy-Relay) is WSP, which is similar to HTTP.
The problem is there is no authentification whatsoever in the whole standart, so the only authentification is the source of the request.
In other words it is technicallly impossible to send mms over your wifi connection, because your carrier cannot know that you are the sender of the message.
I assume then my phone identifies itself when it makes a request to the MMSC server? IMEI? Is there anyway to get a log of this communication between my phone and the server? Thanks Very Much for Shedding Some Light on this issue.
Another reason I think the carriers do not allow connection to their MMSC server via wifi (ie the internet) is because it seems to be unprotected. If they were to add authentication to the server then maybe they could open the server up to outside the network traffic. But if you ask me I should be able to choose an independent MMSC server for sending and receiving MMS. Actually I think I recall seeing MMSC servers you can download but imagine they are a pain to set up.
similar question
Since my question is similar to the OP I'll ask my question here. Is there a relatively convenient android app to send/receive MMS over WiFi? Don't care if its my number or some pseudo number generated by the app.

Along with textra and every other app i've tried, wifi mms sending doesnt work. And I'm on T-mobile.
It works great on stock roms with stock sms appwith wifi-calling enabled, even if ZERO cell tower connection, but as soon as I go to another sms/mms app or onto a kitkat rom or something that does not include wifi calling, I cant get a single mms out over wifi.
It does work with Sprint, I have wifi at my workplace and sending big pictures would be instant, only the wifi enabled and 3g/4g would never even turn on. i just switched to ATT and now have a S4 and cannot do it, where as with spring i had a S3 and had both phones active in my hand and saw that with sprint it worked everytime. my S4 would activate 4G to send.. and once done the icon would dissapear but Wifi was active the entire time and it took much longer since my service is limited so it was very clear what each phone was doing!! I want MMS over WIFI !!!
btw both phones using textra app!
