I can get email, but can not send it.

I'm having the same problem that a lot of people are. My personal email will go to my phone, but I can not reply or send an email from my phone. I had a blackberry before and never had any problems with it. It is a POP3 email, I entered all the servers and ports, and still can get it to send. I checked with clearwire, they couldn't help. Can anyone help me fix this? If not the phone is getting returned and a new blackberry in it's place. Thanks for any and all help.

You need the outgoing mail server settings. If you have a cable company provider specially. If your gmail works fine, its an email server settings., Make sure you get the port number, require authentication and all those goodies.

Which email service provider are you using? I will be glad to post the incoming and outgoing server information once I know which provider you are using.

I have Voyager.net email, through Corecomm. They helped me set up my incoming email, but told me that I would have to contact Verizon for the outgoing portion. Can you help?

Thanks

They have to give you the outgoing mail servers too. Its their email service not verizon's.

MorganB can you post similar information for Charter? I have the same problem as the rest on this post. I get an "authentication error sending" I have entered the server, port, username and password identical to what my desktop account is set up as and cannot send outgoing. I assume that the cable companies must have a different set of ports for smart phones?

Curiously, this has only begun in the past month. The first 2-3 months or so that I had my DROID I could send emails just fine.

Hello kriam,

Please check the email settings chart provided by curtterp at this link to see if it helps.

Well I had the same problem, but until they get it fixed, get K-9 Mail from the Market...works on my Hotmail, AOL, Roadrunner, and Yahoo... Oddly enough, my corporate account works fine on the default mail client.

I can send & receive fine through 4 accounts using regular email. My problem is when I am using www.live.com through the browser. I cannot send from there. Sometimes I need to forward &/or respond to an email which is only there.

The error message is: Sorry, it looks like there was an error. Please try again.

I have done factory resets etc but I still cannot send. I could not find any known problems with Droid's 2 op system & live.com any suggestions?

Thank you!!

You will need to delete the account so that you can set it up correctly. The steps for doing this are listed below:

Menu
My Accounts
Choose the Account
Click to Remove Account

After you have done this you will need to set up the account manually using the correct server settings. The steps for completing this are listed below:

Menu
My Accounts
Add Account
Choose Email
Enter your email address and password (Username requires full email address (e.g. username@live,com)
Uncheck automatically configure account then press next
Choose Incoming Server and enter in
pop3.live.com
port 995
Choose Outgoing server and enter in
smtp.live.com
port 587 (either SSL or TLS depending on client being used)
Hit Okay and save

Once you have done this you should begin receiving messages within 15 minutes.
