AOL mail settings

Hi
I am trying to configure an Alpine to download AOL mail.
I have used the following settings:-
Incoming:IMAP.aol.com
Outgoing:SMTP.aol.com
Username and passoword is correct.
I recieve the error:
Unable to connect to the incoming mail server.
Has anyone else managed to get their AOL webmail onto the Alpine?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Does AOL offer POP3 mail downloads? You mention its webmail, which doesn't necessarily mean it has an SMTP and POP3 server available.

aol mail working
I've had aol mail working on my spv1500 for a while now my settings are
username: Your email without the @aol.com
password: your password
account type: imap4
Name: AOL
incoming server: imap.aol.com
outgoing server: smtp.aol.com:587
under options on page 2 check outgoing mail requires authentication
These settings work for me but I only use wireless connection

Many thanks
It worked.

Email Settings For Mobile AND WiFi

Hi everyone,
I bought an MDA Vario III on T-Mobile UK yesterday and setup email so I can send and recieve my Freedom 2 Surf POP3 email wherever I am.
I want to use T-Mobile GPRS/3G when I am out and about then switch to my ADSL WiFi Router when I am at home.
Sending and recieving worked fine using GPRS/3G and an SMTP of smtp.t-email.co.uk
When I got home and connected to my Wireless router instead recieving was fine, BUT nothing would send. I changed the T-Mobile SMTP setting to Freedom 2 Surfs (outmail.f2s.com) and all was fine.
The problem is when I go out again and want to use T-Mobile GPRS/3G it wont send until I change the SMTP settings back to T-Mobiles.
don't want to keep changing each time I want to switch connection.
I have worked around it for now by setting up 2 email accounts, one for Wifi (with the Freedom 2 Surf SMTP settings) and one for mobile (with the T-Mobile SMTP settings) but this is not ideal and I keep using the wrong one!
Have others found this problem and if so can anyone suggest a better way round the problem?
Cheers

Try using your email providers smtp server (e.g. gmails is smtp.gmail.com)

Thanks for the reply.
I have tried that. It works with my wifi connection (which uses Freedom 2 Surf for broadband) but wont send when I use T-Mobile.
Any other ideas?

The issues is that most providers have their SMTP servers set to only allow relaying from a specific set of IPs (normally their customers), so that random spammers can't use their mail servers to relay spam out to the world. You'll need to find out if your home ISP's email server supports SMTP authentication, so that you can connect to it with a username and password and it will then allow you to relay mail normally as if you were connecting from one of its authorized valid IPs.

Thanks for the reply explodinglemur. I figured that was the case as I've had trouble with SMTP settings on old handsets when changing sim & network.
I would be interested to hear how others get round this problem. Currently I have one account setup for syncing my F2S email with Outlook, another so I can send/receive my F2S email whilst mobile (using tmobile smtp settings) and a final one so I can send/receive my F2S email using wifi at home.
I am sure there must be a better way to setup email so I can lose one of the accounts?

What I do is I run sendmail on port 587 and configure SMTP to talk to my own mailserver at that port (e.g. smtp.infernix.net:587 in the smtp server config). This way no ISP filtering of port 25 gets in the way.
This does require AUTH SMTP. Configuring your mailserver is beyond the scope of this forum

I also had to setup a secondary SMTP port on my mail server because many ISP lock down TCP port 25 only to their own SMTP server.
You would need to find out if Freedom 2 Surf has/allows a secondary TCP port for this.

sending mail via IMAP not possible

Hi @ all,
does anyone have also problems with sending mails via IMAP?
My configuration: 1.93.207.2 ROM (O2 germany)
For mail settings I set up two mail accounts (in my diamond) to the same private mailserver. One with POP3 access and one with IMAP. Receiving mails works with both accounts. Sending only with that POP3 account.
Hence it could not be an issue with the data connection settings.
I want to use only the IMAP account, but during mail sending i got the error message "mail could not be send. please check network or account settings" or similar.
I'm wondering, because both accounts use the same setting excepting the accounttype.
With my old Tytn is was working fine...
So, is here any experiance with this problem?
many thx

I have no proxy settings active. In both use cases i use identical network connection settings.
That's why I'm wondering.

I use IMAP with Gmail and need to put a different server in for outgoing mail + enable SSL.
Do you need a different server for IMAP?

No, they are also the same (it even doesnt matter in case of using POP3).

after flshing to original HTC ROM all was working fine.

IMAP is only for receiving like pop3 is
both mail accounts use smtp for sending

can't send email with my yahoo account

so i can receive emails but not be able to send them from my x1.
any idea?
it's yahoo.com acc

You will need to install the Windows Mobile 6.1 SMTP Send fix. Search for it in Microsoft Support downloads.

downloaded the cab and installed it; still no go, can't send emails but able to receive them.
can someone show me the way to configure the settings manually step by step?

Hi
I never needed to install any smtp fixed in order to have my X1 send yahoo mail... I am using yahoo.co.uk, my settings are:
incoming server: pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk
Outgoing server: smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk
username: [email protected]
password: your password (!)
Outgoing mail server requires auth: Ticked
Use same username/password: Ticked
Require SSL for incoming email: Ticked
Require SSL for outgoing email: Ticked
Additionally, I use the 'Contract Internet' profile, and I had to remove the proxy value to get it to work (I am on Voda UK).
Note: The auto setup which the unit tries to do after you enter your email address and hit next will NOT pre-fill the correct details. Do it manually... if it refuses to let you do it manually, enter the email addr wrong i.e [email protected], complete all the settings then go and correct the email address.
Additionally, check that your yahoo account is correctly configured to allow pop3/smtp access via the usual web interface.

now that's something I didn't know, looking for it now...
*edit* lol, how do I do that?

nap007... did it work for you because i am having the same problem... i installed the fix but still cant send email

Did you input a port for outgoing? Yahoo uses 865 I believe.

sfkn2, thank you for replying to me i have been going crazy for days about this i even went to my network provider and the place where i bought the phone and called sony ericsson but they couldnt find the reason and solution to this problem of mine... so thank you very much for replying to me
Where do i input the 865 port for outgoing?
here is my email set up:
email addres: [email protected]
name: jennifer dar
account display name: yahoo!
incoming mail server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
account type: IMAP4
username: jennifer_dar
password:*********
save passwork: CHECK MARK
outgoing (SMTP) mail server: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
outgoing server requires authentication: CHECK MARK
use the same username and password for sending email: CHECK MARK
Require SSL for incoming email: UNCHECKED
require SSL for outgoing email: UNCHECKED
Network connection: The Internet
where in the settings should i input the port for outgoing?
i also tried to nstall the official fix before... my yahoo acount name became yahoo POP... what happened was i could not send AND recieve emails so i uninstalled it. so im back to ABLE to receive but UNABLE to send emails

smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com:865
Try that and report back.

yahoo send
still unable to send.

I have the same problem I always thought yahoo changed some thing,
then i did some searches and found some patches. they did not work.
when i run the auto setup it tries to give me a pop3 account,
this does not work at all. I set it up for a imap account i can get email again but not send.
does the smtp server need to be (smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com or can it be
smtp.mail.yahoo.com

ok got it working needed to set some ports
imap.mail.yahoo.com:143
smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com:25

same problem here....
help.. can't send yahoo email....

I got it to work by using smtp.mail.yahoo.com
I have been having trouble for months trying to figure it out & it was a simple change.
Hope it works for everyone else.

i also cant get yahoo mail to send. i keep getting the notification that it ant be sent check your incoming settings. i tried ports 143 and 25 like you said above but still nothing

yahoo email setup

Hello everyone I keep getting an error when setting up my yahoo email account with the stock email client.
-i manually choose IMAP and configure my settings to imap.mail.yahoo.com
and leave everything else as is but i still get username and password is incorrect! I have checked my username and password how many times and still not correct!!
has any one got this going for the galaxy s phones?

I haven't had any trouble setting up Yahoo Mail. I've tried stock email, K-9, and the Yahoo Mail app.
Have you tried doing it with automatic settings?

yea i tried using the stock automatic settings but still no go....
i just updated to att 2.2 firmware. mines not rooted.

Strange. For my incoming server, I've got the same IMAP as you, Security Type SSL (if available), Authentication type Plain, Port 993
Also, for Username, I just have my prefix without the @yahoo.com part
All I can think of otherwise is try the Yahoo Mail client or K-9 and see if those work.
