Unable to configure SMTP outgoing email on hosted web account; Host blames DroidX bug?

Hi,

I am transitioning from a Curve to a DroidX and have ran into difficulty configuring the outgoing mail on a small hosted server I use. The web host has a beta solution but blames a bug in the Droid's email client for the problem. Can anyone verify this?

I tried using K9 and still ran into problems so I'm a bit suspicious that the client is the problem.

Thanks,

Dave

A number of ISp have the outgoing server for mobile email clients to use a specific port, you may want to contact your ISP and verify your server information.

I checked with the webhost. The port number is 25. I also tried several other port numbers.

I got different setting advise from verizon store, verizon online and from charter. all said something different. I eventually got it to work using the regular pop.charter.net for incoming and smtp.charterinternet.com for outgoing. No secure connection... no verification certificate... and the port is 25. I have a droidX also.
