Can't Send Emails with Godaddy

[TotallyFedUP]

I have had my Droid X for about 6 months and love the phone. I hate the fact that I am not able to send emails using my Godaddy settings. I have spent the better part of 35 - 40 hours trying to work with Motorola and Godaddy tech support, they have both independently noted that when an email will not send that it is usually due to the Wireless provider. With this being the case, I have tried everything I can find on how to get emails to send with the Godaddy account and nothing has worked. Currently I have had to set up my outgoing server as the Gmail server, but this does not send my Logos and Signature files without signing up for a business account with Gmail. I don't think that I should have to spend more money for a service I do not want. Also I don't understand why you can get Yahoo and Gmail to work but not the other email services.

Actually you are looking at the wrong source for the issue, when this issue happen it will be more the ISP issue not the Wireless provider.  The ISP usually restrict curtian ports to grant outgoing access.  My roadrunner account had this same issue and once I configured RR server information correctly the problem was solved. 

It sounds like Go Daddy is blowing you some hot air...  Here is a forum that has a number on users from diffrent carriers having same issue (http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f41/setting-up-a-godaddy-email-account-4092/index2.html) , read over post may help, there is several possible solutions are listed..

The problem with that as a solutions is that my ISP (Internet Service Provider) is Verizon Wireless and not GoDaddy. So, if what you are saying is correct then my ISP is the issue, that would be Verizon Wireless  

Verizon Wireless is the only sourse that has not tried to help but puss the trouble off to the manufacturer or the the email providor.

I have spoken to a number of people around the country that have a droid x and verizon wireless and there  Godaddy emails send fine. The only difference between them and me is the local switch for the internet access. Sounds to me like there is a local issue with Verizon Wireless.

As of selecting something that works for me, I expected that a new device on the market would at least be able to do what other devices could already do for the past 5 years and not have to re-invent the wheel. I love everything about my droid x except the fact that the only email that works on it is Gmail. Sounds like Microsoft to me.

I may should have phrased this a bit diffrently but I work 16-18 hours a day and Im working on half a tank.... Verizon grants your access to the web and does not restrict server access but GoDaddy supplies the server connection to control sites access.  So email pervider would be the correct term, sorry for the mistake...  As for the area being the issue this would most likely be a restriction given or configured to grant access. 

I have 6 email accounts with diffrent email perviders and I have no issue with any of them sending or recieving, so the issue isnt Verizons, Androids or rhe Droid X, I have heard a number of issues with GoDaddy access through a mobile device.

Well since you makes this as solved I guess you was able to get situation resolved...
