Trying to set up email using the Mail app

I just brought a droid and I am trying to set up my email using the mail app. I have put in my email's mail server address and used outgoing.verizon.net as the outgoing.

It brings in my email just fine but I can't send anything out. I get a message saying Connection Error when trying to send.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I use yahoo email on my G1. I get connection error sometimes, but doesn't affect my emails in sending or receiving. Do wonder why it says connection error.

The email that I use is actually Lotus Notes. You can set it up with a pop3 client like Outlook on a computer and it works just fine so I figured I would be able to use the Mail app on a Droid.

If you are doing it on a computer you have to put the incoming server as the mail server of where I work but the outgoing is your ISP's mail server address.

I tried using outgoing.verizon.net as the outgoing server and it lets the mail come in but it will not let me send anything at all. Message is "connection error."

The server outgoing.verizon.net requires you to authenticate with verizon.net credentials in order to use it. Make sure that you have it set to authenticate with your verizon.net username and password.

**bleep** question but the verizon.net username and password -- is that what I log into my account on the web with -- like where I can see my bill?

Also, is that the correct outgoing server address to use? Should I be using a different one?
