strange problem sending emails

Since yesterday I noticed a sudden problem with my XDA I can not sort out, and I would like to ask this community for help on this one:
Problem:
Emails stored in the outbox do not get transmitted during a GPRS connection with my provider.
Observations:
The login process goes as usual, it even says "sending emails ...", which takes the usual while, incoming mails get downloaded to the device, but after the connection is over it says "could not upload emails, check your setting or talk to the provider" in an alert box. When I look into the outbox all the mails I wanted to send are still there, and they are not just forgotten to delete after sending (I sent some to myself to check).
I have of cause checked the settings, and I know the account is working, because I can access it via my laptop.
The radio must be able to send, because it would not be able to establish a connection otherwise.
I resetted the device, but this had no effect.
I thried to use the dvice in a different GPRS zone (other city) but the issue remains the same.
I searched the forum, but did not find any usable information.
Question:
Have these things be observed before?
Does anyone have a hint on how to sort this issue out or what to look at closer?
Any hints would be appreciated,
Martin
i had this prblm b4...but then i used nPop and it worked fine, but now i dont even use that, i just use "myemail.t-mobile.com" as the outgoing mail, but thats just 4 TMO :wink:

Well I know I cannot do that with my Device.
Here in NZ the ISP's block access to the SMTP servers from any connection outside their network.
They do this to stop Spammers using their SMTP servers.
Often they still allow access to the POP servers, because they are authenticated, which fits your symptoms, you can receive, but not send, via your GPRS.
One solution is to set the account up to use your cellphone companies SMTP server if they have one. So you send your mail via smtp.Vodafone.net.nz for example.

Thank you for your replies!
I checked with my provider to find out if they changed their POP/SMTP settings, but they didn't.
It then took me a while to find out this is a software issue.
In fact it is in some software on the device, and it comes back after hard resetting and copying back the SD backup. I did a double hard reset with a clean reinstall of all software and now I'm able to send mails again.
I could not exactly find out which part of the software, because I can not extract or delete individual files from the backup or resore thm one by one to eliminate faulty files. (is there a tool for this?)
I have the suspicion that establishing two active sync partnerships did the change: Before I had the problem, I had only one computer I synced with, but short before that I bought a new Laptop and now sync with two computers (one being a server, via a network). This might have corrupted something within the networking settings, that is not accessible via the option and connection setting pages.
I'd really like to have an overview page to check on all current settings instead of using settings... and options... dialogs in different locations, but that's another story.
It's working again.
Thanks once more for your replies!

My post is even more basic. I would like to see a short, simple sequence of events to "send an e-mail" from my sx-56.
A. Which program do I use to send (if there is a different one to receive, what it that)?
B. What are the entities that I have to enter into the fields, on which program?
C. What is the procedure for composing and sending the e-mail once the preliminary data has been entered?
The PDA works fine
The phone works fine
Thanks,
Lou

Tearing out my hair!!!!!!!!!

I've got an issue that I can not seem to resolve. Whenever I connect online using the sprint #777 number, I can not turn it off. I used to be able to turn it on and off through Comm manager, but now, it just tells me to "Tap here to set up data connections." Also, I never had an "Outlook Email" account in my messages folder, but now I do. This happened yesterday when I used activesync for the first time. I don't have Outlook installed on my computer and have no need for it. This Outlook email account is now set to my default and I am getting frustrated over these two items. Any ideas?
Here is a link describing how to remove the phantom outlook email account.
http://ppcgeeks.com/forum.ppcgeeks/showthread.php?t=43702.
As for the PC connection open settings in the start menu, choose connections, choose usb to PC, make sur that the ActiveSync button is checked, and you may want to disable the enable advance network funtionallity, and see if that does not solve the problem.

[Q] Too many Passwords attempted - how to get gmail to resync?

So my friend locked my phone out. I Knew the gmail account linked to the phone but i forgot the password. I resetted the password on a computer but when i enter the new password in the phone it doesn't work.
I tried all my various passwords, including the null and it didn't work.
I don't remember if my phone sends notifications for emails because i only made the gmail account when i bought the phone (therefore it isn't my primary account and no one sends emails to it).
I have wifi connection and also 3g connection on the phone.
I am thinking the gmail account did not sync, therefore my new password isn't working. How can i sync the account, or do i have a workaround on getting this to work?

Hey, try to delete the gmail account, restart your phone, and then re-add your gmail account with your new password. If that doesn't work, I suggest backing up all of your contacts and information onto your computer and then factory resetting the phone so you start with a clean slate.

[Q] Exchange login failure with new phone seems to have corrupted my exchange account

I had a Galaxy S3 (4.1.2) working fine on exchange server 2003.
I broke the screen and replaced it with a Droid Razr Maxx HD (also 4.1.2) . I set-up the corporate exchange email account following normal procedures. It accepted everything using manual set-up, started syncing the exchange account (up to April 5th) then it started coming up with a incorrect username or password error. I verified the password and tried again until my exchange account locked me out.
I called IT, they verified username, password and server settings. unlocked my account, and I attempted to login in again 3 times unsuccessfully until it again locked me out. Rinse and repeat. If I factory reset the phone and unlock my exchange account, it will again initially work and start to sync, then go back to the same error.
They created a new user account for me as a test. Everything works fine on the new account. They are reluctant to delete my current exchange account and move me to another one because I work for a local government agency and all my activity is discoverable under the freedom of information act and this would greatly complicate things.
I tried to go back to my broken SIII, an now it will not log on to my exchange account either. Same username and password error as Razr Maxx HD.
I also grabbed a spare phone, a Samsung stratosphere (2.3.6) and my HP Touchpad runnning CM9 Tenderloin and both log on to my exchange account just fine.
Verizon says everything is provisioned correctly, that it is an exchange problem. My IT says nothing has changed at the exchange server and that my current account and the test account have the same settings.
HELP!

[Q] Lost or stolen S3, blacklisted but what is available to to view

Hi all,
I recently lost or had stolen my S3. Its on t-mobile uk. Its been reported and blacklisted. Unfortunately due to the battery nearly dead and having it blacklisted and maybe the sim removed i could not track and wipe via Samsungdive. Could anyone please advise what will be visible on the screen etc. T-mobile have said only the phone connection, mobile internet and sms are essentially blocked. Im concerned about other data such as already downloaded emails, texts ect being visible and navigation around the phones file system being possible. Would someone be able to look at email apps(system default, gmail and yahoo) or the text app on the phone? Also if a new sim is inserted, would that by any chance effectively create a new profile thus preventing anyone from viewing my old emails and texts etc. I have changed all my passwords. However im thinking of transferring all my emails to new email accounts, deleting the emails from the old accounts and setting the passwords for the old email accounts back to the same as on the phone. Then if the phone connects by wifi the email apps should hopefully update and delete the emails on the phone. Of course hindsight is great and I know I should have had a phone lock in place.
Cheers

If you didn't have any lock at all then everything on the phone will be available, IMEI locking will only prevent the phone connecting to mobile data, making calls or sending texts. Inserting a new SIM won't remove anything.
If you had set the email client to leave emails on the server then you can download them to your pc, delete them from the server, which would delete them on the phone if wifi connection is ever made.
Unless you had your visa card details on speed dial I wouldn't worry too much, it's probably already been factory reset and sold to a mug in a pub.
Thanks for the reply. Ive just noticed....... I changed my google password as a precaution. Ive just switched on my nexus7 and of course it asked for the new password. Therefore I guess if the lost S3 makes a wifi connection it will also ask for a password.
Edit** Sorry it asked for the password because I was connecting to the play store not upon switching on the nexus
