Can't send email treo 800w (sprint)

Hi: I can't send email using my treo 800w (sprint). I can successfully receive email using my university's incoming IMAP server, but not send email via their outgoing server.The treo responds "The message could not be sent. Check that your account informat is correct"
I've configured the outgoing server correctly, on the treo, per the universty's instruction page, http://www.ecs.umass.edu/index.pl?id=3716, and I have tried all permutations of outgoing server settings in the treo's email setup.
I can sucessfully receive and send email via these servers using Thunderbird on a PC.
Any help is appreciated. thanks.

Most servers reject remote connections to use their outgoing mail servers in order to control spammers.
You need to use Sprint's smtp server for outgoing mail.
This Palm KB article explains: http://portal.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/31747_en.html
Sprint PCS Before setting up your email account, you'll need to set your PCS Vision Email password. If you haven't already done this, go to MyPCS on the Sprint PCS website and login. Select "My Personal Information." Under "Passwords," to the right of PCS Vision User Name, select "Modify." You'll see your Sprint PCS email address; remember this address. Go back to My Personal Information. Under PCS Vision User Name, to the right of PCS Vision Password, select "Modify." Create a new password. Note: When you do this, your PCS Vision password will be reset on your smartphone. Make sure you're in an area of coverage.
SMTP Server: smtp.sprintpcs.com
User name: Your PCS Vision Email username (the part before the "@" in your email address)
Password: Your PCS Vision Email password

Can I get a straight forward answer on sending email on 800W

Yes I did the search, and I am not suprised that most of the post that comes up when I enter 800W keyword is regarding sending email out. I myself talked to tech department 5 times, the best they did is get it to work for about 2 weeks. So my last resort is to come to palm forum to find answers, and I am not suprised I am not alone in regards to this email not sending.
The solutions I found in this forum is to download another email program and use that to send email, why would I want to spend $30 more for a program on something I am suppose to have working out of the box? Also I read that someone who did download the program and got his email to work, but now he is having the same problem again. So downloading this program technically does not work.
Another solution is to setup the phone using smtp.sprintpcs.com to email out, then someone say that Sprintpcs is going to shut down the service. So I talked to Sprint PCS customer service, they are going to shut down their sprintpcs email address, but they are not shutting down their server.
Some other thread suggest getting a gmail account and use gmail as the outgoing email server, again I read some people did this and it will work for awhile and then all of the sudden it will stop working.
Many people on this forum and I need a permanent solution to this problem, I do not believe it is sprints problem because my email works when I had 650p with versamail. It also worked back when I had the Treo 600. Therefore the ball is at Palm and possibly Windows court, you guys need to step up and fix this. Smart phone that can not send out email is a very dumb phone.

Yes the pop3 works great, I receive email with no problem.
It is the smtp server that is the problem, the smtp server has to be provided by same as the pop3 server. It may work for a bit with a different smtp server, but the setup will stop working after a while. This is coming straight from the Sprint Repair place, from a repair person. He also mentioned Sprint network only likes its own sprint vision and gmail server, anything else the smtp server will be rejected. Neither of these two server is secure, meaning it can be accessed by people working at sprint or google. If it is just personal email I have no problem with, but when we send business email there are stuff that we would like to keep secure. For an example, you are a yahoo employee or MicroSoft employee and you use sprint email, would you want Google employee reading your business tactics?
What I also find ironic is sprint allows gmail which is provided by google, do they not know google is introducing GPhoneand is utilizing T-Mobile??? Who knows when they will stop allowing gmail from working due to "conflict of interest", and the sprint email shutting down, if sprint email shuts down and it includes their smtp server how is Sprint customer to email out? Basically it means your only option is blackberry because blackberry has its own service, which allows customer to use their own email servers to send and receive email. I don't know about you but I hate blackberry, especially with the trackball like control it has now. Which means I will switch the whole company over to Verizon, maybe just eat the cost of ending contract early. It may cost us more money if we are not allowed to use our own email server for 2 years and rely on their unsecured email servers.

Treo 800w (Sprint) Won't Get Past Windows Mobile Screen

I've tried everything I can think of, soft reset just gets me to the Windows Mobile screen, won't get past that. Battery has a full charge, at least according to the status light. Kind of dead in the water. Any ideas? Appreciate any help that's offered, thanks.
Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)

Hello!
Hmmmm stuck on the load screen eh, stuck on the green screen? If the soft reset, taking the battery out for a few sec and back in, does not work then the hard reset is the next option. Unfortunately Windows Mobile does not have a safe mode like the ones found on PalmOS devices. Unfortunately the hard reset will erase all data but that would not be an issue if you have been syncing the phone or using Sprite Backup provided on the ROM.

I can receive email but can't send email

Switched over from Sprint about a week ago. I restored my new iPhone 6 and had some iMessage issues which I cleared up by re-setting my settings (the option that doesn't delete anything). I'm not sure if the re-set has anything to with it but for past 3 days, I've been able to get email on my phone but not send it. I keep getting a window saying my email username or pw is incorrect. I've re-inputted in the pw and username and checked the imap and smtp values and everything is correct but I still can't send email, i.e, forward, reply, etc.
Thanks for your help.

Many thanks! Per your response, I deleted the email account, re-inputted everything and it's working fine. FYI, the email account is my own domain which I've had for about 10 years.
Again, thanks.
PS - Before you responded I went online and a number of recent forum posts I read said that this issue is a bug in iOS 8 and it comes and goes. If it is, hopefully Apple will fix it.

HotSync connection issue with Palm Treo 800w Sprint work around Solved !!!

I just switched from my Treo Palm Treo 755p to the The Palm Treo 800w. For the life of me I couldn't figure out why though everything was connected via USB. The Microsoft ActiveSync would work once or twice then nothing . Though I knew it was connected the charge wouldn't work either.
Here is my work around and it never fails.
If you see the Red light or Green light on your phone while connected Via the USB that means you are connected you can sync and charge.
If you don't see the red/green light on or see the phone in My computer > Mobile devices.
Plug your phone in via the USB. While it's plugged in take the battery out . Then put the battery back in. You know you are good when you see the red light or green light turn on. Red light means charging Green light means its fully charged.
I have connected every time using the take out the battery method and my Treo 800w charges / Microsoft syncs the works!!
Hope this helps I tried everything before I figured this out.

Did you install the 800W update that is available on the support page under downloads? There is a download for the charging issue and the USB connection issue.

How can I send email using two different email address that both link back to my one exchange account on my Ipad mini

How can I send email using two different email address that both link back to my one exchange account on my Ipad mini?
On my PC I simply have a master return email address and use a POP for the secondary address. Both are through the one exchange account without a problem. I need to be able to do the same on my Ipad.

Ah, I should have made that clear. My domain didn't come from google. It was purchased at and is hosted at dreamhost, but I haven't used their email servers in years - I just route everything through gmail. I actually have a bunch of domains (with websites).
Gmail has an option that lets someone with custom domains send (and receive) email through gmail using the custom domain once Google confirms proper ownership of the domain (to prevent spammers and such). Gmail has a setting for "send email as" which allows gmail to be sent using a custom domain as the sender. I'm pretty sure Apple's old mobileme had this feature too, but I didn't use it.

I just updated my IPad to iOS 5 and now can not send email. The error message says the server rejects the address which is not true Asti sends on my desktop.

I just updated my iPad to iOS 5 and now can't send email- I have tried the obvious but no luck. Any suggestions?

Usually 'authentication required' means that you need to submit a username (or e-mail address) and password to the e-mail server, when sending a message. This logic is not different between Outlook and Thunderbird, and even with the latest and previous version of Thunderbird.
Of course you can try the previous version again to see if it solves the problem, although you'll be less secure because you would be missing the latest fixes.
If you'd be willing to get back to Thunderbird, say if your frustration level with your new app would increase too much, please see our article [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cannot-send-messages cannot send messages] for further help.
In all other cases I'd appreciate it if you could mark this as answer so we know you don't need further help.

I can't send emails from iPhone until I connect to my wifi! I am with bigpond and have a bigpond email address. Can anyone help me?

I can't send emails from iPhone until I connect to my wifi at home. I am with bigpond and have a bigpond email address. Can anyone help me?

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Can't send email from mac

Hi
I don't know since when, but I can't send email anymore via iCloud on my Mac. iPhone and iPad work. Online iCloud as well.
I am running:
OS X 10.9.2
Mail 7.2 (1874)
I use the @me.com adresses
smtp Server says: iCloud(iCloud)
What I tried so far:
I went to Accounts in SysPref and activated and deactivated the account.
No help
I deleted my iCloud account and created it new from scratch on my Mac
No help
But it changed the smtp server info from iCloud(iCloud offline) to iCloud(iCloud)
But still can't send it.
Also, all info seems to indicate that everything is fine. Account Info, etc.
I am running out of options.
Any help?

Try deleting the email account in Mail's Accounts preference pane
and then add it back. That will automatically enter the correct server addresses.

TS3899 I still can not send email from my ipad but iPhone works on those accounts

I still can not send email from my .mac account or a .comcast.net from my ipad. I how 2 people so far that has brought to my attention. We have exchange accounts setup on the ipads for work. I compare the settings from iPad to iPhone from my view it appears identical. I am looking at an iPad 2 and a Mini.
I turned on and off the ipads and nothing really changed. The emails come into those accounts.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

When you say you can't send...as in they never get the email? Does the email appear to send? Error message? When?
It may be more than one iPad that has a problem....

I can't send email from my iPad. I am from Australia but on holidays in Greece. Does anyone know what is the smtp outserver for Greece that I should use?

As you haven't told us who your email provider is, no.
There isn't an SMTP server for Greece - it is either provided by your email provider, or the Internet provider you are connected through.

I can not send email from my iPad . Have been using it for over a year, all of a sudden I can only receive email. I have a wifi connection in my home and have a A T &T cellular data plan?

I have a 1st gen iPhone that I just updated the software to 2.0.2
Now whenever I press the mail icon it goes to the mail app for about 4 seconds, does nothing, no loading of folders, old messages, nothing.
Then it reverts back to the home screen. Tried restarting, haven't tried restoring, thought I'd look here first.
Anyone???

On 3G we cannot send emails from either our iPhones or iPad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all. Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Email account. What is causing this and what do we need to do to resolve it?

On 3G we cannot send Business emails from either our iPhones or Ipad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all. Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Account using both 3G and WiFi.
We bought the iPhones and Ipad so that we could send emails while we are out of the Office, but we are not able to do this unless we can find a WiFi connection. Incoming emails are fine. We use IMAP, for Business emails just incase this is relevant and I know that Hotmail is POP3.
Our technical IT knowledge is not great, so we look forward to your suggestions as to how to resolve this.

Contact whomever supports the email account and get the correct Outgoing email server settings from them.

Can't send email from Outlook with parentheses in address

I can't send email from Outlook 2007 through my WRT400N when Outlook displays the address with parentheses as in this example: Firstname Lastname ([email protected])
I can send if the address is in this form: Firstname Lastname <[email protected]>
I have tested with the ISP and nothing gets through the router when the problem occurs. When I bypass the router, both forms of address will send correctly. This problem is perfectly reproducible. My router is brand new, but the problem did not show up for about a week after installation. OS is Win7. Any ideas? Thanks.

Try to forward the port 443 to 447 on the router.Check this link.

Can't SEND email from Telus account in Alberta, Canada, unless I go to web mail. Does anyone know how to set up the Outgoing server? Incoming is fine. Outgoing used to work. We changed it when we went to another location, and can't get it back. Telus support can't fix it. Neither smtp.telus.net NOR mail.telus.net works for Outgoing server to send mail. Please help!

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
