Trouble setting POP3 mail service.

[lesebre1]

I am able to use my Gmail account without any trouble however I would like to also use my POP 3 email account. Currently I am able to receive email using my POP 3 account but when I try to set up and send an email message, I get the following error:

"Cannot connect to the mail server to verify your account information. Your server is not responding".

I am assuming that I have a setting incorrectly configured but I don't know what it might be. Again, I receive email just fine but am unable to send. Any suggestions?

Who is your pop3 email provider??? This is an old list so settings may have changed. But ingeneral you need different settings on a mobile device than you use on your home computer.

If not listed, either provide us your provider, or Google, '(Your ISP) mobile device email settings'.

Thank you for responding...My service provider is Charter Communications.

i had the same problem (received fine, couldn't send). my internet provider AND verizon had given me the wrong outgoing server settings. i eventually found the correct one here in these forums. give us a little more info.

Charter is easy as that is what I had. In fact if you choose the phone to set up the email automatically it should work fine.

If you choose to set it up manually, unless you have a Charter business account, DO NOT use charterinternet.com settings.

UPDATE, I checked the Charter Web site and the settings for sending mail are correct in the list above.

yeah, the guy in the thread i linked used the settings that you have above....but those weren't the setting that charter had given him. i had the same issue. cox gave me 3 sets of settings to try....none worked. then a vzn rep on here posted the correct ones (after a vzn phone rep had also given me incorrect ones).
