I am on O2 PAYG on my Galaxy S3, for ages now my emails just will not work over 3G but will work over wifi. This is driving me mad and I cant work out why.
I am using my own personal email address,
When I try and sync emails it comes up with sign-in failed . Wrong username/password but they are correct.
If anyone can help that would be great.
I have tried the stock email app and also the K-9 email app and neither will work. I have also tried resetting APN but that has made no difference.
Does anyone have a solution?

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".

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 able to connect to the internet just fine but when i go to email and click send/receive my connection disconnects then reconnects but email is never checked, on the lower left side of the screen it says "error synchronizing" i have Cingular(AT&T) just wondering if anyone else is having this problem. thanks.

Who is your email provider? any of these: yahoo.com, yahoo.co.uk, or Hotmail. i have the same problem as well.
Yahoo and new hotmail accounts need to be paid for to sync via outlook, those of us who have been syncyng Hotmail for a while (was it oct 2006 or 2005 they stopped - I have a memory like a seive) can still sync.
When you set up the email account how did you do it, who is it with and did you test the settings?
But you could still forward all your Hotmail mails to another free mail provider
(to which you can freely sync to Outlook).
i have the same issue. set up with an IMAP server. it doesnt even try over 3G and works while connected to a pc and uses its connection. suggestions? is this answered elsewhere?
[Edit]: Found on another thread (thanks to Pawel062) to uncheck the proxy info on the Media Net, this resolved the issue for me.

Can you get other email accounts using your data connection? Does internet browsing work?

Yes everythings works fine its just mailing through the internet (ive gotten the exact same problem)
i cannot seem to send a mail with my phone :S
(Offtopic maybe related though)
Unfortunate the Internet problem where you auto update stuff like twitter and youtube of facebook. When you set the interval, after it tries updating my internet doesn't work either.
Hi Guys,
I am connected to the corp Exchange server and most of the times, email works fine. However, there are many times email does not update. And if I try to manually refresh, I get one of the following errors.
- Unable to connect to server
- Unable to open connection to server due to security error
I know my settings are correct and there is no problems with the company Exchange enviornment. Any suggestions?
Thanks
if your settings are fine and no corp network issue, then there's only a couple more options left as the cause. The way I see it, its gotta be either:
1) AT&T network
2) corporate network
3) problem with the phone / incorrect settings
are you stock?
Hi
Good points.I am on serendipity 8. It's strange that it works great at times but then nothing. For example I am up in pa this weekend
And no corp email since last night. I can't even send. But gmail and internet is working fine.

I suppose the obvious of a password expiration or similar? I use both CM7 (Captivate) and Unnamed (Galaxy S2) with two different exchange accounts, plus I use corporate Address book with one, and everything works great. I know that's not terribly helpful, but for what it is worth. Maybe try the corporate address book, see if that works -- might at least validate the overall path and credentials (though you do need to re-enter the credentials).
Hi, I have a strange problem I can't resolve.
I have a SGS3, stock ROM (but rooted) and using K9 mail (although I've tried using the native email app and having the same issue, so I don't think it's a K9 problem).
Basically, I can't send or receive mail while on mobile data, but when I'm connected to a wifi network I can send and receive fine.
It only seems to be a problem with POP3 mail. Browsing works fine on either. My exchange email (I use Touchdown) works fine on both. Other connected apps work fine on both.
It's just POP3.
I've double checked the settings in case they somehow changed themselves or were changed by something else. As I said, I setup the same account using the native email app, same issue. It just doesn't connect to the POP3 server, it just sits there and times out. I don't even get a message.
I'm pretty tech savvy but this one has me stumped. I'd really appreciate some advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this problem please.
Cheers,
Pete
Check with your networks email settings especially the Ports .

That's what's called "****ty provider"; The most probable reason is that your provider blocks access to SMTP/POP3/IMAP except maybe to their own servers.
That is what Telekom Germany does or at least did for a long time.
A not-so-easy but highly workable fix is to use Exchange accounts. Not only will you get (nearly) realtime delivery of your emails but since it leverages the HTTP protocol you bypass port-based restrictions. A PHP-Script e.g. is Z-Push
Easier is to open a VPN connection.
Some also just use a non standard port .
BE UK block port 25 for example .
Worth checking your networks forums .

Thanks everyone so far. I should have mentioned that my wife, an iphone user, isn't having this problem and she's using the same ISP. Therefore if it were a port issue I'd expect her to be having the same problems.

It seems to also be impacting instagram. It won't refresh or upload on 3G but works fine on wifi
