IMAP4/POP3/SMTP email connections

Check for a typo in the SMTP server address. You might also try smtp.googlemail.com instead (port 465 SSL). I've seen both used.

It depends how you are accessing your email. If you are using a web based email such as gmail, I am guessing that a firewall is not your problem. If you are using an application such as Thunderbird and accessing a pop account, you may need to open up some ports in the firewall. Here are some common port numbers for email.

POP3 - port 110

IMAP - port 143

SMTP - port 25

HTTP - port 80

Secure SMTP (SSMTP) - port 465

Secure IMAP (IMAP4-SSL) - port 585

IMAP4 over SSL (IMAPS) - port 993

Secure POP3 (SSL-POP) - port 995

For hotmail account

Account Name: Whatever you choose
SMTP Server: smtp.live.com

SMTP Port: 587

Secure Connection: TLS

Incoming Server Type: POP3

POP3 Server: pop3.live.com

POP3 port: 995

APOP login: not ticked (you can apply it)

Secure connection: SSL

Download limit: 500 (you can change it)
IMAP4
Incoming Mail : this is greyed out and set as new
Retrieving option: Subject only (you can change it)
Keep on server: ticked (you can change it)
My email address: your email account
Username: your complete email address
Password: your email account password
POP before SMTP: NOT ticked
SMTP authentication: TICKED
Same as POP3/IMAP4: ticked
User name: this is greyed out and
blank
Password: this is greyed out and blank

I solved similar problem, Follow settings given below

Account Name: @gmail.com
SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com
SMTP port: 587
Secure connection: SSL
Incoming server type: POP3
POP3 server: pop.gmail.com
POP3 port: 995
Secure connection: SSL
Download limit: 50
IMAP4 Incoming email
Retrieving option: Subject only
Keep on server: ticked
My address: @gmail.com
User name: @gmail.com
Password: **********
POP before SMTP: tick
SMTP auth: tick
Same as POP3/IMAP: untick
User name: @gmail.com
Password: **********

Now set ur Connection. Restart phone once... it works wonderfully
cheers !!

hope u like it njoy

It would help if you mentioned your provider, ie "live.co.uk" "gmail.com" etc. Enter everything as normal (email & password) & change these options. I know only these 3 so far, Hotmail, "***@live.co.uk" Account type -POP3-, Incoming -pop3.live.com-, Outgoing -smtp.live.com- Yahoo, "***@yahoo.com" Account type -IMAP4-, Incoming -imap.mail.yahoo.com-, Outgoing -smtp.mail.yahoo.com- GMail, "***@gmail.com" Account type -IMAP4-, Incoming _imap.gmail.com-, Outgoing -smtp.gmail.com These should be the only changes you need to make, always check the secure connection. If you still have problems setting up change your username to your full email address, you'll find it between your email and password. Hope this helps as it took me months to figure out the simple switch of "co.uk" to "com" or deleting the "4" from "imap4" in the incoming sever. Hope these tips help!

I am with orange also and when i set up my wave for push email it worked great. then got a txt from orange saying free trial ended? called orange they cant figure out why i cant re-connect to any service pop3/imap4 push etc as i have email in my contract (plan). you mention settings ie pop3/imap4 etc in your phone settings to chose where did you find those as i can only hit diamond / email/ then choose hotmail google / others etc then enter setting from isp provider in settings and i have entered both pop3 and push and my mobile says account exp? aaaaaarrrrrggggggghhhhhh.

I'm not sure if this is of any help
to anyone but these are the steps
I used to set up email on my
Monte. I'm using an old hotmail
account that didn't support IMAP
or SMTP properly.
1.Set Up a GMail account eg.
[email protected]
2.Set GMail to allow IMAP via the
settings link the the top right
hand corner. (under Forwarding
and POP/IMAP)
3.Under accounts and import set
up the send mail as to send mail as
[email protected]. Set this
to default send adress
4.In the same tab under check
mail using pop3 set up the pop3 to
recieve from someone@
hotmail.co.uk
5.Under Email Accounts on the
Monte set up email with the
following charecteristics:
Account Name: Hotmail
SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com
SMTP Port: 465
Secure Connection: SSL
Incoming Server Type: IMAP4
IMAP4 Server: imap.gmail.com
IMAP Port: 993
APOP login: greyed out
Secure Connection: SSL
Download Limit: 500
IMAP4 incoming email: New
Retrieving option: Whole Message
Keep on server: checked
My email adress: someone@
hotmail.co.uk (This is the adress
the phone puts in the from line of
an email)
Username: [email protected]
Password: gmail password
Pop before smtp: greyed out
SMTP auth: checked
Same as POP3/IMAP4: checked
Username: greyed out
Passowrd: greyed out
This should allow you to recieve
new messages from the time you
set up the gmail account on your
phone and to send emails with all
the appearences of coming from
your hotmail account while
actually coming from google's
smtp server. Really do check that
the GMail is set up properly, make
sure it recieves emails adressed
to your hotmail and that it sends
in your hotmail account's name.

hi, i have done this settings to my phone.

account name: GMAIL
SMTP server: SMTP.gmail.com
SMTP Port: 465
Secure Connection: SSL
Incoming Server Type: Pop3
Pop3 Server: pop.gmail.com
Pop3 Port: 995
APOP login : not checked
Secure Connection: SSL
Download limit: you can configure this your own (mine 500)
Retrieving option: i chose subject only
Keep on server : checked
My address : is your email add
User name: this your user name, sample, [email protected]
Password : your password
Pop before SMTP: checked
SMTP Auth: checked
Same as POP3/IMAP4: checked
press save...
now exit your email setup wizard, go to your messages menu, select and press settings...
select email, then, select profiles( this profile will lead you to you browser profile) select the profile which connects you to your internet, sample, vodafone gprs, web2(mobily), jawalnet (STC)..cellone..
after you have done this, select your email and press download and check.

I have the following (and complete) list of settings on my Jet for my hotmail account and it is receiving and sending emails correctly. (After seeing 6 posts and none with a full solution, something needs to be done .. RAGE!!)
Account name - "random name" SMTP sever - smtp.live.com SMTP port - 25 Secure Connection - TLS Incoming Server Type - POP3 POP3 Server - pop3.live.com POP3 port - 995 APOP login - unchecked Secure connection - SSL Download limit - 50 IMAP4 incoming email - New (faded out tho) Retrieving option - Subject only Keep on server - checked My address - [email protected] User name - [email protected] Password - **my hotmail acc password** POP before SMTP - unchecked SMTP auth. - checked Same as POP3/IMAP4 - unchecked User name - [email protected] Password - **my hotmail acc password**
Some tech info to help problem solve. POP3 is the technology involved with receiving email, SMTP is involved with sending. (Lots of people saying they could receive but not send, but their SMTP settings weren't correct)
