I bought the Galaxy S III about 3 months ago, and have been struggling to set up my personal email (my own domain hosted by godaddy.com). my gmail accounts sync up nicely from day 1.
Today, a tech rep from Godaddy.com suggested that i turn off wi-fi, and set up the account using the phone connection only. That seemed to work, and i was able to set up personal email accounts (my own domain).
Issues: i cannot see any email in the Inbox. Every time i hit the button "load up to 50 more messages", the Update icon would spin for a few seconds, but no emails show up. the message said "account last synced on date..., time....". still no emails in the Inbox.
a) i tried using the email software that came with the phone for the (the icon has an envelope and a red seal in the middle). the email was correctly set up, i was able to send emails out, but still no emails show up in my inbox.
b) i tried using the K9 email app (downloaded from apps market, free). the email was correctly set up, i was able to send emails out, but still no emails show up in my inbox.
Does anyone know what i did wrong? or is something wrong with my phone?
thanks so much for your help
What are the settings that you have for the "Incoming mail settings"? I also have my own domain setup through Godaddy, and mine is working fine. My settings are:
pop3 server: pop.secureserver.net
Port: 110
Security: None
Authentication: Password
And I use my email address for the username. Is yours setup the same?
Hi,
yes, my set up is similar. I was given the following info when I called GoDaddy Tech Support
imap server: imap.secureserver.net
Port: 143
Security: none
i also use my email address for the username.
it's really puzzling how i can send emails from cell phone, but cannot see incoming emails on cell phone!
And I would assume that you can see the new mail in another area like Outlook, or through the web, or something other than the phone?
good thinking.... I'm trying to set up Outlook 2010 on my desktop. it's downloading emails from the server, but because i have so many emails up there (50K) for the past few years, it's not functioning properly yet. i can see the emails and i can move them to different folders (10K emails in Inbox at a time, more get downloaded as i move emails out of the Inbox). but i cannot send emails out from Outlook on the desktop.
wonder if these 2 issues are related.
i can see, receive and send emails directly on the server (web) no problem.

I would try clearing out your inbox as much as possible, and then try it. Maybe it cannot index correctly to download because there are so many. Just a thought.
