You can not use your settings from Outlook for outgoing, due to security concerns for the ISP having an open unsecured port directly in from the outside.
When you send mail from home, it is sent entirely in their system then out. On a phone it is sent from outside their system, to inside their system, then back out. That is why there are different settings.
Try some of the options I shared. You will need mostly likely have to change both settings, but it should work.
Mobile devices use different settings than your home connection. Try setting your SMYP setting,
smtpa.midco.net, port 25 and do not check the use secure connection check box.
I just tryed that and i got your outgoing server does not support authentication. please verify your outgoing server settings. aka wrong server.
Hmmmm, the post was from late September so I thought it would work. Only other thing I found was a letter from your ISP stating they do not support outgoing mail from a mobile phone.
I did find one suggestion stating to try the k9 app and attempt setting up the connection.
I am guessing you are using the settings shown on Midco's website?
Try the IMAP settings with the k9 app.
No i am using the settings straight out of my outlook.... it is a pop acount and i got everything to work but the outbox i can bypass it and recieve it but just wont let me send i get that error and i tryed different things then it tells me wrong server or whatever.

Thanks for all your help i think i got it figured out now...... hopefully.
Idk i had it set up on my bb storm and it worked fine...... which i know is different but i think there has to be a way around it. its almost like some sort of error where a setting or something is off i just dont know what.
