Making POP email not authenticate outbound

I'm trying to get my iPhone to work with my company's POP email server. I can get email fine; can't send. When I try to send I get this error:
'Cannot Send Mail
The SMTP server 'mymailservername.com' doesn't support authentication. Please check your account settings and try again.'
When I set up the account, under Advanced, iPhone defaults to Authenicating by Password, which is the third option in the list below:
MD5 Challenge-Response,
NTLM, and
Password (checked)
I looked at the email setup for the same account on my Treo 650 and the box re authenticating for (Incoming) Use Authentication (APOP) is unchecked, as is the (Outgoing) Use Authentication (ESMTP).
I've tried to set Advanced>Authentication to both of the other options, but when I do I get the same error but when I go look at the settings, it has Password selected, not either of the other two options I tried changing it to...
Any ideas on how to make this work???
Thanks

Don't think the company POP server is the issue; it works fine with my Treo... I also can check mail via a browser-based webmail URL.
Re EDGE or WiFi, I think it depends on whether there is Wifi where I am, and also (based on posts I've seen) whether iPhone 'tries' EDGE or WiFi first (the posts I'm referring to say that iPhone uses EDGE sometimes even when there is an available WiFi connection, which makes no sense since WiFi is much faster. I've been at home a number of times where I have WiFi that iPhone is set up to use and I've seen it connecting and running very slow via EDGE--makes no sense but it seems to happen to others too).
Will the cwcx.com approach just work via EDGE? Seems like we'd all really prefer to use WiFi when available assuming the issue above gets worked out. That's the only reason I'm hesitant to use this approach...
My treo has port 25 for the Outgoing mail server--is that a standard port? I just tried putting ':25' at the end of the Outbound server address and that didn't fix anything...
Thanks

Why POP emails not supported by webOS - There is no syncing

It appears the POP and POP3 mail cannot be fully sync'd w/ webOS. For instance, if I reply to an email on my Palm Pixi it does not reflect that on my email account when accessed via the desktop and vice versa. I was told by Palm that POP is not fully supported. Apparently other OS and smartphones do this. I guess another example of Palm dropping the ball.
Any bets on when Palm will go belly up w/ this type of thing?
Anyone know of any fixes for this email problem?

Hello 10minutedog and welcome to the forums....
The Palm Web OS does support the POP and POP3 accounts. If you would like to send me a PM and let me know what Palm rep is giving you this information, We'll correct this right away.
Who is your email provider? Other email providers like gmail, yahoo, live.. all work very well on the Palm Web OS.
Your reference is replying to someone. This uses the SMTP service (Outgoing). Not the POP server. POP is incoming mail. Also, unless you are using IMAP, you should not see the sent email (from the phone) on the internet. The email is sent directly to the recipient through your provider. It should show up in your sent folder on the device. On the same token, if you send an email to someone from the web based email, you will not see that email in your sent folder on the device.
Does this help you at all? Or did I confuse you even more...
Thanks,

Droid RazR Maxx - pop email not working (with Comcast)

On 10/14/2014 my phone starting giving me a message "couldn't sign in" message saying username or password invalid. However, I have used the same username/password via the web and other email clients, so that is NOT the problem. I've searched and searched but have not found anything. I called Comcast and they said they could reset my password, which obviously isn't the problem, and if that didn't work to call Verizon. I've completely removed the email account and tried to setup again and now it gives me the same message during the incoming setup process.
Anybody else experiencing this problem? It's been 2.5 days and no luck resolving despite many attempts.
Thanks

durginpark,
Oh no! Sorry that your Comcast email isn't working. I had to do some research on this one myself. As an Android user, and someone who knows a decent amount about this type of stuff, I was stumped. So I reached out to Comcast myself as well. They advised to use the Xfinity App that is available in Google Playstore and sign in with the App to receive all the Emails going forward. This is also listed as an option in Xfinity Website Support Page. Were you previously just using the email app that came with the phone? Try the Xfinty App and see if that works.

Multiple pop emails not displaying in Mac mail

I have multiple pop mail accounts set up, but I can only view one of the accounts? I can select the other pop mail inboxes, but it only displays the one inbox?

I got it sorted. I was trying to load the inbox emails through the account icon in the menu bar top right. When u click on accounts tab top left and select the account it works

POP Email Account Not working after update to 1.1.1

After I updated to 1.1.1, I noticed my email wasn't working quite right, so I did a complete restore, and in the process of setting everything back up, I can not get my personal pop email account to work. After creating a new account with the "Other" option, I enter all the correct information, and when I hit "save", I get this message: Secure Connection Failed, Certificate for "Personal" may be invalid.
It then gives me the option to Cancel or Continue, but hitting continue just hangs. Any thoughts? It was working properly before the update, and my desktop client is still connecting and receiving emails, so nothing has changed on my ISP's end.
Thanks,
Kenton

Given that other posts mention two prompts: first that "certificate may be invalid" and second "would you like to connect without SSL?" (paraphrase), I decided to hit "continue" on the first dialog and see what happened in my case. After doing so, I was NOT prompted a second time, so it would SEEM that my SSL connection completed normally after all. For others in this circumstance who require/demand SSL, you may want to try continue on the first prompt to see if it just works.
By all appearances, I still have a secure pipe to my email. It's a shame that this prompt and the results of "continue" aren't better at indicating what the actual issue is.
Note that in my case, I'm probably prompted about the certificate because I don't have a globally-signed SSL cert. I am just using one that I created myself and imported into the Mac OS X keychain. This cert was sync'd beautifully (thank you Apple!) to my phone originally, and appears to still be working. A check of the mail prefs on the iphone still show both inbound/outbound mail to have SSL "on" so it doesn't appear to have been disabled by 1.1.1 or by my pressing "Continue".
I believe that this 1.1.1 update was a deep enough update of the OS that it is merely warning me again (in an unfortunately cryptic way) that the certificate is not signed by global cert authorities. I think it did the same thing when I first set up the iPhone (1.0) but hasn't prompted me again like this on any updates since.

How can i get my POP email pushed to my iphone5 instantly (not every 15 minutes) like my old blackberry did?

how can i get my POP email pushed to my iphone5 instantly (not every 15 minutes) like my old blackberry did?

You can't, RIM uses a proprietary mail server (in Canada) that pushes mail to BB devices. You will need to get an iCloud, Yahoo, Gmail Exchange, or Exchange mail account to pust mail to your iPhone.

What is going on with POP email? I can NOT retrieve email unless...

What is going on with POP email? I can NOT retrieve email unless*...I reboot AND reset!* I POP 3 Comcast emails and my own URL email. Never any problems on Entourage. Hourly issues with my new iPhone—and it's only been 4 days.
This is *unbelievably frustrating* and negates why I got the dang thing in the first place.
Does anyone have a work around? Is this a known bug (Apple) or am I missing something?
+*Plus as a side note I think there are too many clicks into the In Box. Just a usability thing I wish I could set myself.+
Message was edited by: sukibean

I have the same problem intermittently... Every so often, the iPhone goes into a mode where email just doesn't work until i shut down and reboot... Then it works fine...
Its not always the case, but I can't isolate the scenario which causes it to go into this weird mode...

Option to add POP email acounts not available

On my new BlackBerry Bold 9900 the option to add POP email accounts as described in the handbook is not availble. Only the option enterprise activation is provided. The BB is a none branded device and sold via AMAZON. OS 7.1 Paket 2061 (V7.1.0.714, Plattform 5.1.0.532) Is there a possbility to activate the POP email acount option, because I don't want the use push / enterprise mail.
Thank you very much indeed

Hi John,
thank you, sorry for the late answer. Does this mean that for example a Blackberry Classic with OS 10, would pull emails from a pop account on its own, without any specific data plan. Correct?
Thank you
Dirk
On BB10 models the client will poll for email on POP3 server at an interval you select. When the email client finds email it downloads it do the device. Depending, you might want to set a long interval (30 minutes or an hour) and then manually refresh if you should happen to want to check at any time in between. You can set short intervals, if you want, and see what it does to battery life.
On BBOS models (with BIS as described above) the BIS server is doing the polling, and it pushes the email to the handset. The polling interval depends, If the BIS is finding email on the server each time it polls, then it will tend to poll more frequently. If it doesn't find email, it reverts to the default interval which is something like 15 minutes. Some accounts are pushed as soon as email arrives, such as Windlows Live, or Outlook.com.

Gmail POP - iPhone not receiving new emails

I have my iPhone setup to retrieve my Gmail through POP. Everything has been working great until last week, when the phone quit receiving new messages.
I was able to create a IMAP connection and it worked fine, but that's not how I want to retrieve my mail.
I am able to temporarily correct the problem by creating a second POP email connection. Once it's created and retrieves mail, the original account starts working again. I can then delete the new account. I've had the problem 3 times and so far this has corrected the problem. Simply disabling the new account and re-enabling when I need the fix, doesn't work.
When it's not working, there are no error messages. I just as if there's just nothing to retrieve.
Has anyone else seen this problem or know what the cause might be?
Thanks.

Iphone 6Plus will not allow POP email account and cannot print to my wifi printers, I did on my Iphone 5 until I upgraded, can anyone help

I had talked with three people at Apple tech support on the phone, one person in the Apple store in Indianapolis, plus the other places I mentioned. Only the one young man in the Apple store was even able to identify the problem which was the POP vs. IMAP issue. And then like you said he was only able to say he hoped it would be fixed in the next update release. I did call him back this morning and told him about your simple solution, that I had seen it at the Apple forum, and that he might suggest bringing this topic up at the next staff meeting. I also let my Verizon rep know and an agent at Comcast. Something so simple yet it took three days and a lot of frustration to get fixed. Thanks again. You're my hero! ~ Carol Thomas
Also forgot to mention ... I got the iPhone 6 Plus about three weeks ago and did not have this problem. But I did a backup of my iPhone 5S on the computer and then used that backup to restore to my new iPhone. The iPad I did differently and just set it up as a new iPad with no restoring from the old one. That must have made a difference on the phone because it was set up just like the 5S ... as a POP3.

POP Email Inbox Not Synchronising

I have an iPhone 4 set up to synchronise with a BT Internet POP email account. The phone receives new email but it won't delete any messages from its Inbox even if I delete the messages from the BT online web client.
I have the following settings on the Advanced settings of the account:
Deleted Messages
Remove After 1 day
Delete from server:
Never
My understanding is that these settings affect synchronisation only from the phone to the server and not the other way round. Is there something I am not doing, as my BT Account Inbox only has a couple of emails in it, but the phone has all the mail since I set the phone up?

Are you still having this issue setting up your Yahoo email? I see you were able to login to your Yahoo email on the computer. If the phone is still giving the same error, try clearing your cache. Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All>Email>Clear data/cache.
For the Brew messages, that means you subscribed to Mobile Email on your last phone. The subscription never completely cancelled, so it is still trying to send you alerts thru SMS that you have a new message available. I have a tool available to remove these alerts. I will send you a PM requesting additional information so I can resolve this issue.

POP email does not work on Auto Navigation Email Messages

I was told by BB that this was supposed to be fixed with the new update. BB did not fix this! You cannot recieve POP email on your auto navigation systems. Mine is a 2013 Lexus 450H. Does anyone have any feedback on this issue.
Most of the email providers, ATT, Comcast, etc are POP email providers.
The Q10 does work with IMAP providers, but BB is ignoring half the email market!
So this is a huge issue.
Comments?

Try creating a free email account with one of the other providers that are easy to setup on the iPhone. If you only see the problem with one account, it might be a restriction set by the email provider, maybe they only let you send/recieve on their network.
This Apple doc has some good tips too -> iOS: Unable to send or receive email

Iphone 5s pop email account will not delete emails

HELP!!! I deleted a POP email account w/4000+ messages in it and they disappeared

I have been told all my messages are gone forever but I find that just hard to believe. If this were a Windows machine I could recover them because it just deletes the first character in the name of the file. Am I to believe that Apple doesn't have something even remotely similar?
I have been able to recover a few hundred from my iPhone which also had access to the POP account but many years of emails are just not there.
I thought for sure I could delete the account and recreate it as I was making it an IMAP account but I'm having no luck getting most of my life for the past 4 years back. (And yes, I know, I should have backed up - but I hadn't in over a year.) Lazy I know so please don't rub it in.
I drove 100 miles to go to the Genius Bar at the Apple Store and that is how I learned to recover the ones on the phone but that was a painfully slow process of doing them pretty much one at a time because I'd select 50 or so and some would be able to be moved and some wouldn't - which was frustrating so I finally just went through and kept the ones that were most important.
Anyone got any good news or ideas for me to try?

Thomas,
"Note that you were warned that this would happen and approved it. When you delete an e-mail account in Mail, you are shown a message like the following:"
You didn't read my problem - I said I deleted a POP email account. I always read the messages that pop up and in Mail when you delete a POP account - IT DOESN'T TELL YOU NUTHIN! It just deletes it - which *** for me. Fortunately, I had an iPhone and on that device I had about a 1000 messages that I could recover but on all my POP accounts I download them from the server onto my Mac so they were only on Mail (the really old ones that I wanted to keep.) I had to move them into another directory one by one basically because when I would move 50 some of them would move and some wouldn't and I never did figure out that problem. Basically the ones that would not move are the ones that were associated with my domain changes with GoDaddy, and there were a lot of those. Have no idea as to why only those were resistant to moving but I can get all that data from GoDaddy anyway.
This thread is now moot seeing as how I've recovered everything I can and am going to just move on - and back up more often. ;-)
Apple and Mail need to rewrite that program to include a WARNING MESSAGE when deleting an Account in Mail that says ALL YOUR MESSAGES ARE GOING TO DISAPPEAR NEVER TO RETURN IF YOU DELETE THIS ACCOUNT, SO YOU DANG WELL BETTER HAVE A BACK UP IF YOU WANT TO KEEP ANYTHING BEFORE PRESSING THAT MINUS SYMBOL! ;-)

EBS 7.3 "Could not authenticate this user name and password, try again"

I have just install Sun StorEdge Enterprise Backup Software 7.3 on a new Solaris 10 (06/06) system. I have installed the following packages with no errors: SUNWebsc (Client), SUNWebsn (Storage Node), SUNWebss (Server), SUNWebsm (Man pages) and SUNWebsg (Console).
I have executed the �nsraddadmin� command for both root and administrator.
I start the web browser with http://<hostname>:9000 and the java software loads with no errors. But when I try to login for the first time with administrator/administrator, I get the follow error:
ERROR: Could not authenticate this user name and password, try again�

I think the client is not able to do a HTTP POST
to the WLS server but it can do a HTTP GET.
I dont know why.

Hi,
I deployed a rpc web service using WLS 7.0 SP2 in HP-UX 11 environment.When I
invoke the web service through my browser (IE 6.0) using the web servicesurl,
it brings my service method correctly. From there, if I click the invokebutton
it asks me for a network user name and password under "weblogic" realm???If I
provide the admin user credentials (which I supplied while creating mydomain)
it is not accepting that it keeps popping up this network user passwordwindow
over and over. Not sure which username/password I have to provide here tosee
the result of my service.
If I try to invoke the web service through my client (static) I am gettinga connection
refused exception. I guess either way, I am not able to access my webservice.
In the attached file, I have cut and pasted the client stack trace as wellas
the server log trace from weblogic.
Any ideas would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ganesh
