Nokia messaging. pop3 or imap?

Hi,
what is the difference between pop3 and imap? Which is the best for Nokia Messaging? Thanks.

POP3 only allows you to see your Inbox, IMAP allows you to see all your folders.
POP3 doesn't allow push e-mail, IMAP does (if IMAP IDLE is supported).
Nokia Mail is Nokia Mail, you set up your account using the wizard and what appears works, supposedly. Really it's IMAP IDLE running on Yahoo's servers.
Nokia Messaging is a service set up on Nokia's servers which polls POP3 and IMAP mailboxes and pushes updates to the phone. Good points: It's Nokia's most supported option (meaning if you set up a direct connection to a POP3 or IMAP mailbox and it doesn't work, Nokia will tell you to accept the terms and conditions and use Nokia messaging). Bad points are an always-on connection draining the battery and privacy (Nokia keeps a copy of your passwords and repeatedly logs into your mailboxes with no encryption).

Open letter to Nokia Messaging dev team: imap idle...

Hi,
I would like to ask the developers of Nokia Messaging if they are aware of the fact themailclient in the E72 isn't supporting Imap IDLE anymore.
Before, in the E71 for example, there was indeed a timesetting in the native client BUT this was used when the client got disconnected. for example:client connected > phonecall arrives, client disconnects > phonecall ends > client connects after 5 minutes (or any other timespan accoridng to the settings) and STAYS connected.
Nokia Messaging: if you set it up at 5 minutes it checks every 5 minutes for mail. This is NOT 'idling' on a server. 'Idle' means in this case 'stay connected, just sit there and wait for messages')
the specs on your site CLEARLY state for the E72:
Supported protocols: IMAP4 (with idle), Nokia Messaging, Microsoft ActiveSync, POP3, SMTP
This means that the product that i have bought IS NOT DOING what you promise. I could probably solve with start using Nokia Messaging but this and was never my intention. I just the phone to do what it is supposed to do: imap idle without the use of Nokia Messaging as stated in its specs (as it was before by the way).
WOULD APPRECIATE AN ANSWER!
Called Nokia support in Belgium. No answer from them.

We are far from being Nokia enemies. If anything, we are giving them free feedback. In corporate circles, concerned companies pay millions of bucks to the likes of Pricewaterhouse, etc to do strategic consulting, ie to tell them what really is right or wrong with their company, products, etc. In the new millenium, the internet and tools such as forums provide similar service, only at a fraction of the cost and a damningly honest one too!
My take on the matter is this: sure Nokia staff are reading these forums and laughing at us 'idiots'. The 'noise-makers' are few and far between. Nokia also has their die-hard fans (some people have never used any of the advanced features on their phones so would know little) as well as their own 'plants' (ppl who are Nokia employees tasked with dropping feel-good stories in various threads. I've done enough corporate consulting to know this ;-)
The same person who was supporting Nokia in this thread also had an extended argument with me in the afore-mentioned thread. Some people think someone having 300 odd contacts is a power-user (I have in excess of 1,300 contacts, 90% current and active). Some people questioned my desired to be able to snooze an alarm for a user defined period (that Nokia lover accused me for wanting "more bells & whistles than Fort Knox").
The last example is something simple that can implemented. My Palm circa 2003 had that feature. Say if an alarm sounds for a set event, but you are still in a meeting/busy, wouldn't it be gud to be able to snooze the alarm for a specified period, say 40 mins? At the moment, the E72 only lets you set ONE global snooze period which applies for all alarms.
The way I see it Nokia with its so-called business series of devices have 2 probs - (1) it has many bugs and high-end features that do no work as promoted / advertised, and (2) it lacks many simple features that cheaper/older phones have. Can't be too difficult for those Finns to decipher this, can it??
And what would happen to Nokia? Well, I think its getting so big headed in recent times that its alienating a lot of serious / old-time fans. In todays market, there is great variety of choice. If one is to get buggy and ill-designed products anyway then why pay premium dollars for a Finnish lemon when you can settle for a similar lemon (and at times with almost enuff bells & whistles to challenge Fort Knox) from say China, at a fraction of the price. And to think that many of these Chinese clones today ship with dual SIM capability as well as a (fuzzy no doubt) TV monitor!
My advice to folks out there, please do buy a Nokia if you are in the market for a cheap, no-frills phone to be used as a spare phone or on those mountain camping trips when a gud flashlight is required. But if you are looking for a serious BIZNESS SMARTPHONE, the E72 is definately not it. Still love you, darling!
There ought to be laws out there on the use of the term 'smartphone'

To get unread messages Pop3 vs IMAP

Hi all.
I read all API's documentation and I have this common trouble; I understood that with pop3 it's not possible to read flags and get unread mails.So, can I have some links with the official documentation about imap protocols to get unread mails?

I tried with the HashMap and I wrote this code:
                      ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("uid.txt"));
                               HashMap2<String, String> hash = new HashMap2<String, String>();
                    POP3Folder folderPOP = (POP3Folder) folder;
                    Message[] messages = folderPOP.getMessages();
                    for(int i = 0; i<messages.length; i++){
                         String uid = folderPOP.getUID(messages);
                         hash.put(uid, uid);
                    out.writeObject(hash);
out.close();
folder.close(false);
               store.close();
                    This one save all UIDs in a file named 'uid.txt'.
Then, with a new session, store and folder, I query inbox to get unread mails:POP3Folder folderPOP = (POP3Folder) folder;
                    Message[] messages = folderPOP.getMessages();
                    ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream("uid.txt"));
                    HashMap2<String, String> hash = (HashMap2<String, String>) in.readObject();
                    for(int i =0; i<messages.length; i++){
                         String uid = folderPOP.getUID(messages[i]);
                         if(!hash.containsKey(uid)){
                              System.out.println("New message from: " +messages[i].getFrom()+ " subject: " +messages[i].getSubject());
                    in.close();
folder.close(false);
               store.close();HashMap2 is a Class which extends HashMap and implements Serializable interface.
This code doesn't work. It says that there aren't new mails!
Where am I wrong?

N97 - Nokia Messaging msj: "Cannot connect to serv...

Hello everyone,
My name is Leonel and I´m from Argentina.
I bought my N97 - 3 by internet.
He fact is that i m trying to configure my Nokia Messaging with and IMAP account (job´s account)
In the past I have had configured this account on my device, but after a hard reset (due to firmware update) I can not make this account works (my Gmail and Hotmail account works perfectly)
I have checked all the fields like Incoming / outcoming port and server, mail, password, etc but the message always appear "Cannot connect to server"
I know that this account with the parameters i have put in the nokia mail web works perfectly since i have the same working in my PC (outlook express)
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Leonel.

Hi!
Thanks for your reply.
I will try to do what you said, but the i don´t think this will work.
I already have the nokia messaging on my device with 3 configured accounts: GMAIL / HOTMAIL / OVI MAIL.
The only one wich does not work is the IMAP account of my job (in the past, i had it full working on my n97 device, but as i said, after a full reboot, i try to configure again with no succes)
On the other hand, i am now trying what you said. Logining in email.nokia.com and making this page send me an sms to installa the Nokia Messaging on my phone again.
++
PD: For your information, when i try to configure my IMAP mail on the webpage ( http://email.nokia.com ) i fill in all the full blanks like incoming server, port, outcoming server, port, email, password, user, but after some seconds the webpage shows a message telling that it is not possible connect to the server. Try again later.
I do not know the reason, because i have this same this account configured in my oulook express (PC) with these same parameters, and works well.
Many thank again.
Best regards,
Leonel.

I am unable to see any POP3 or IMAP tab when I set up an account in my iphone 4S. Hence by default all my email accounts become IMAP and the messages are deleted from the server when I delete them from the iphone.

I am unable to see any POP3 or IMAP tab when I set up an account in my iphone 4S. Hence by default all my email accounts become IMAP and the messages are deleted from the server when I delete them from the iphone.

ok sorry everyone but i solved it myself but the solution is so nuts i've posted it here to help others who have the same problem.
to setup a comcast imap account on your iphone:
go to mail, contacts, etc in settings
under accts, select add account
select "other"
new screen, choose "add mail account"
now on the new acct screen you must enter your name, email address and password for your GMAIL acct ! (yes i said your gmail acct !, or some other acct with a NON comcast address).
hit next
then the acct verifies
when verified a screen will open with all the acct settings for this acct AND @ the top of the screen are the 2 buttons > imap or POP
select imap and THEN CHANGE ALL THE ACCOUNT information to the comcast account !
then hit next and the account will take a couple minutes to verify but it will verify and now you have a comcast imap acct set up on your iphone. The problem must be that when the iphone sends the initial verify acct info to comcast (if you enter that information first) the comcast server is simply not setup yet to signal the iphone that there is an imap option.

E63 + Nokia Messaging + IMAP = Not Syncing Sent

**I originally posted this in the E Series forum, and decided to repost it here as it was more appropriate**
I recently downloaded Nokia Email Messaging, and I am loving the push email. However, I realised today that none of the emails I am sending from my phone are being synced to the IMAP sent folder, instead are being put in a Sent folder on the phone. I have told it to sync sent emails, drafts, and inbox.
Can you please help me with this. If I can't sync my sent emails so I can see them on my laptop as well via IMAP (webmail), then I will revert back to using ProfiMail.
Thanks in advance,
Nathan.

I have the same problem, mine on an E66. I send messages from an IMAP account on Nokia Messaging and the message goes in the Nokia Messaging Sent folder, but this is not sync'd with my email server Sent Items folder.
I even tried selecting the Sent Items folder as one to be sync'd on the Nokia Messaging website (edit settings), but this still didn't make any difference.
I even then tried Moving the messages from the Nokia Messaging Sent folder to the mapped Sent Items folder on the E66, then sync'd again, but still they won't appear on the server Sent Items folder.
I think what Nokia need to add is an option similar to the one on the Outlook configuration where you can select where sent items go - either to the default Outlook folder, or to a specific IMAP folder.

Nokia messaging - Telia Pop3 problem

Conflicting info about Nokia Messaging phone compa...

On the page
http://www.nokia.se/support-och-programvara/ladda-ner/nokia-email-service/kompatibla-telefoner
it says that Nokia N80 is compatible with Nokia Messaging, while on the main Nokia Messaging site
http://email.nokia.com
the N80 is not listed.
I've managed to set up an account from the phone and it briefly worked but it was set up with POP3 instead of IMAP and the server names aren't the ones currently given out by Telia. When I changed to IMAP from the web interface, the service stopped functioning altogether.
Is this a problem with the N80 phone, or are there limitations to the number of e-mails one can have on the server in order for it to work? I've only got 2200 e-mails in my inbox at the moment, and the built in client of the N80 - while very bad in many respects - could still connect successfully when I had 12000 e-mails in my inbox. The same goes for the commercial S60 e-mail client ProfiMail from Lonely Cat Games.
I've thought about getting an N900, but if this is the way Nokia Messaging "works", then I guess I should change my mind?
Regards,
A

The program installs background service which does the communication. It is not visible, but still it is up there running. As for the incoming - I used the early beta, but generally, Nokia messaging uses Push, so that the server would force connection. So, the advantage of Nokia Messaging is that the server would sync to multiple accounts and just then connect to your device in order to deliver new mails. Actually, the Messaging application is mainly aimed at heavy business customers. If you have one mailbox which you occasionally check, then the build-in client is just that good.

Lumia 800 - pop3 and imap

Anybody setup a POP3 account on the phone and find that it works 100% like an IMAP setting? POP3 traditionally does not synchronise backwards, i.e. you download message to phone and leave original on server, delete off phone, it stays on the server. However in their wisdom it seems that not only can you NOT switch easily between a POP3 and IMAP account setting (you need to delete the account and then reinstall it), it also has defaulted that the POP3 setting, is the EXACT same as an IMAP.
Am I missing something? Granted this is only my 5th smartphone and 50th time I have set the same account up, but yeah must definately be me, as a company like Nokia would of checked their programs before giving it out... right?
Any assistance, including proving that it is me stuffing it up, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
LUCH

Hi LUCHlumia800,
Thanks for your feedback and welcome to the forum.
What you describe is not really what is different between POP and IMAP. POP actually does allow for syncing back to the server and remove mail there once deleted on the client. Actually POP can (optionally) be configured to either remove from server when removed on the client or remove from server once fetched. While these options are available implementation is not compulsory.
IMAP on the other hand basically mirrors the server and client sides so whatever happens on one side also happens on the other including adding or removing folders.
Hope this helps,
Kosh

Nokia Messaging client clarification

Hello all,
Can the new Nokia Messaging client be used as a traditional e-mail client?
(meaning direct IMAP/POP3 connection to my mail server?)
I can see that Nokia and the operators are trying to build (and charge) an email "service" separate from other data (when it always was just another application) by using Nokia servers to grab mails from your account and push them to your device. This may be a sensible thing to do if you do not have a flat rate data plan and the operator charges a small fee for this service.
I do have a flat rate data plan, so I am neither interested in this service, nor would I want to pay extra for what should be already included in my flat rate plan.
That said, I would like to try this new client if it can be configured as a normal one.
Could anybody please clarify this point to me?
thanks so much
Gonzalo

the nokia messaging client has the option to set the access point in use as well as the times that it will connect for new emails
as long as u set it so that the access point in use is a wlan that u have access to then there shouldnt be any charges for sending/receiving mail
u can also choose to disable the automatic startup of nokia messaging and manually start it up each time - there is a sync option in nokia messaging that u can select each time u want to check/send ur mails

REALLY ANNOYING!! Nokia Messaging for Nokia E72

Hello,
I like my new E72. Just had it last Friday. But something VERY VERY VERY annoying happen with my email service from Nokia Messaging. My Nokia E51 has Nokia messaging service, but somehow all of sudden it stops and won't work again. This time my E72 has a very active (if not HYPERACTIVE) Nokia messaging email service. It keeps downloading an email, randomly, not consecutively by date, and suddenly all emails disappear, and being downloaded again, and disappear again, and downloaded again......(neverending). I don't know what happen, is this because of my E72 or nokia messaging. It's been 3 days, and I got VERY disturbed by this. No matter whether you have read the email or reply one email, it keeps received as a new email.
WHAT HAPPEN?? does anyone experience the same problem with me? any suggestion? any solution?
One more thing, can the setting be changed from IMAP to POP3? I did that with my previous E51, and it works well. But it seems that there are no option for this in E72. Help anyone? Desperately needed.
Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Forgive me for finding your 'hyperactive' Nokia Messaging amusing, I'm sure it isn't in the least. Concerning the POP/IMAP, I altered my provider email settings to POP only because it too was confusing Nokia Mail and Email on 3, and me! I then removed the accounts on the phone and set them up again and didn't have to do anything different, and then it worked just fine and still pushes emails no problem.
One of the email services I have uses gmail (in some way or other) to handle its email transport and this seemed to cause a lot of bother certainly when IMAP was activated, even though I don't use gmail at all

Nokia Messaging Accessing CompuServe Email

I've added a few email addresses to my Nokia Messaging account with no problem
including Gmail, AOL & Yahoo mail accounts.
However, when I try to add my CompuServe email address using domain Compuserve.com
I get an error, "Unable to connect to the server. Please try again later".
It also doesn't give me an opportunity to set specific parameters for the Incoming & Outgoing server as
another email address did.
Over the summer AOL converted CompuServe Classic email addresses to their AOL email system which
allows access with POP3 or IMAP. I have been able to access my CompuServe email via POP3 with
several email clients with no problem.
Has anyone tried to been able to set-up a CompuServe email address with Nokia Messaging?
If you have I would appreciate hearing about your experience.
Mark

did you ever figure this out? This is a really annoying issue and you'd figure you could delete them.

Nokia messaging will not work with PLUSNET account...

I signed up with one of my PLUSNET accounts, and that worked just fine.
Tried to add another, giving the login of ACCOUNT+ID as well as e-mail address and password.
Nokia messaging keeps telling me "Unable to connect with the information provided"
Frustratiing!! It works fine if I use another account not from PLUSNET
So, tried deleting the first account and re-adding it (since Nokia Messaging had accepted if first time).
Result - Nokia messaging won't add even the account that did work to begin with, and keeps replying "Unable to connect with the information provided"
There's obviously a bug here. Anyone else found this, or better still found it and fixed it??

I haven't tried adding two PN accounts, but I did find it failed at first and I had to then adjust the account name it was trying to log in under as it tries to use the name portion from the email address as the account name (not always the same). I should think for futher PN mailboxes if they are under the same account, you need to do likewise and change the account name to login under. You have to let it fail first to change it though.
Also, it defaults to POP3 settings, so I changed it to IMAP, though I don't think I can get access to IMAP folders so probably not much benefit.

What is Nokia Messaging?

Apologies for this most simple question but I am new to Nokia and new to NM. (I have an E55 but I assume that this applies to any device that uses NM.)
What is the difference beween setting up a connection to my POP3 mail account manually on the phone, and setting it up on Nokia Messaging? I realise that if I want to have messages delivered to my phone I need to use NM, but are there other differences?

Hi,
Official FAQ:
http://email.nokia.com/account/faq.action
Nokia Messaging makes email easy and mobilizes
consumer email across a range of Nokia S60 devices. Nokia Messaging
enables users to quickly set up, access, and use their email on their
Nokia devices through a service that is optimized for mobile email.
Automatic delivery of email using the IMAP idle protocol
Support for Yahoo! Mail, Google Mail, Windows Live Hotmail, Ovi Mail, and POP/IMAP email accounts
Support for Google Apps, Yahoo! Small Business, and other vanity domain email accounts
Support for up to 10 email accounts
Support for HTML email
Available on 10+ Nokia S60 devices and localized in 20+ languages
Support for subfolders in IMAP email accounts
Easy email setup using only an email address and password for almost all ISPs
Efficient data usage
Intuitive client interface navigation built around top mobile email functions
So the basic difference is that you'll get push email functionality to your existing email account. And you add multiple email accounts to your nokia messaging account and then you'll get the latest emails from all added accounts to your phone.

What is POP, POP3, and IMAP When I Setup My Email Account in the HP ePrint App?

I have done as much research as I can do in regards to setting up the HP ePrint App Email Accounts. If you do not see your email information listed here, feel free to post it below or contact your internet service provider, phone or email company, or whomever else that might know this. I am certain there are many more that could be added but this is a rather extensive list. I hope you find what you need to finish setting up your email applications.
I have noticed information differs from website to website but as I have learned over time, with domain masking and companies buying out other companies, I just researched all the information I could find and that way if one of the hostnames or ports don’t work, then you can continue to view further into this page to see if that information is the same. At that point, if you can’t find what you need here, I would say you have done all that you can do before contacting the appropriate support team for your email information.
Most of the links are active and the ones listed below should send you directly the pages I pulled this information from but only a few of them were from the actual support sites themselves (Apple support was vague, as well as Microsoft, Macintosh, and commonly used ISPs). Save yourself some time by searching here first. I hope you find what you need in this one-stop-shop and if you get an email address not listed here please post it below and I will add it to this original document.
Lastly, as this information is from forum-based and other unofficial websites, I would like to add that this is a copy/paste/edit-for-easy-reading document I created in my spare time. This is a very long document so I do recommend using the search and find quick keys to search for the email you need but the top part of this has definitions as to what servers, ports, and hostnames are and the basic setup in case you need to know what these options are used for and what they mean.
Below are the most common settings needed to set up most POP3/IMAP Email Clients or Devices:
The following information below can be found at http://www.swestcom.com/Support/q4.htm
“What is POP3?
Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3) is a standard mail protocol used to receive emails from a remote server to a local email client. POP3 allows you to download email messages on your local computer and read them even when you are offline."
"What is IMAP?
The Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) is a mail protocol used for accessing email on a remote web server from a local client. IMAP and POP3 are the two most commonly used Internet mail protocols for retrieving emails. Both protocols are supported by all modern email clients and web servers."
"Main difference between IMAP and POP3:
The POP3 protocol assumes that there is only one client connected to the mailbox. In contrast, the IMAP protocol allows simultaneous access by multiple clients. IMAP is suitable for you if your mailbox is about to be managed by multiple users."
"What is SMTP?
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is the standard protocol for sending emails across the Internet. SMTP uses TCP port 25 or 2525 and sometimes you can have problems to send your messages in case your ISP has closed port 25 (How to check if port 25 is open?). To determine the SMTP server for a given domain name, the MX (Mail eXchange) should have more information."
"When setting up:
POP - choose POP and the incoming server port will default to 110
IMAP - choose IMAP and the incoming server port will default to 143
All other settings are the same.
Username = [email protected]
Password = the password you set up when you configured your mail box
Incoming Mail Server = mail.yourdomain.com
Outgoing Mail Server= smtp.yourdomain.com
Outgoing Server Requires Authentication (typically found in advanced options or settings)
Do NOT check "Log on Using Secure Password Authentication"
Use the same Username and Password as Incoming or select "Use Same Settings as Incoming"
Outgoing Server Port= 2525 or 587This is subject to change based on the individual preferences of your ISP"
Note - Substitute your actual domain name for "yourdomain.com" and substitute the first part of your email address for "user."
Email Ports
For networks, a port means an endpoint to a logical connection. The port number identifies what type of port it is. Here are the default email ports for:
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.

Have you ever wished you could use your AOL email account with something else, something more powerful, something more convenient than AOL, something like Outlook, Windows Mail, Outlook Express, or The Bat!? Thanks to the wonders of IMAP, you can.
If you set up your AOL email account in any email client capable of IMAP, you can receive and send messages easily. Even the AOL folders — Spam, Saved, Sent Items and your Trash will be there automatically. Of course, you can also use POP to fetch incoming mail in an uncomplicated fashion.

Set Up POP or IMAP E-Mail on an Android G1 How do I set up POP or IMAP E-Mail on an Android Device?
From the home screen, tap Applications > Settings > Accounts & sync > Add account > Manual setup.
On the Incoming settings screen, in the Protocol drop-down menu, select IMAP or POP3. We suggest you select IMAP because it supports more features.
In the Email address and Username text boxes, enter your full e-mail address, for example [email protected], and then select Next. Your user name is the same as your e-mail address.
In the Password text box, enter your password.
In the IMAP server or POP3 server text box, enter your IMAP or POP server name. For information about how to look up the server settings you need to complete this step and other steps in this procedure, see “How do I find the server settings” later in this topic.
In the Security type drop-down menu and Server port text boxes, specify the POP or IMAP settings that you looked up in step 5, and then tap Next. Your e-mail application will check your IMAP or POP settings.
On the Outgoing server settings screen, the Login required option should be selected for you, and the Username and Password text boxes should be filled in.
In the SMTP server text box, enter the SMTP server name you looked up in step 5.
In the Security type drop down menu and Server port text box, specify the SMTP settings that you located in step 5, and click Next.
In the Account name, text box, enter a name for your account (for example “Office 365 email” or “Work email”). In the Your name text box, enter the name you want displayed when you send e-mail to others (for example “Tony Smith”), and then select Finish Setup.
What else do I need to know?
If your e-mail account is the type that requires registration, you must register it the first time you sign in to Outlook Web App. Connecting to your e-mail account through a mobile phone will fail if you haven't registered your account through Outlook Web App. After you sign in to your account, sign out. Then try to connect using your mobile phone. For more information about how to sign in to your account using Outlook Web App, see How to Sign In to Your E-Mail Using a Web Browser. If you have trouble signing in, see FAQs: Sign-in and Password Issues or contact the person who manages your e-mail account.

The following information is according to a forum comment at the bottom of this webpage concerning HOTMAIL and mail server settings:
“As other web based email services, Hotmail is using the HTTP protocol for connecting you to your mailbox. If you want to send and receive Hotmail emails using an email client software, then your software must support Hotmail HTTP access for your email account. Some email clients, such as Outlook Express or Microsoft Outlook, offer builtin support for Hotmail accounts, so you only have to select HTTP when you are asked to select your email account type and select Hotmail as the HTTP Mail Service Provider.”
Mail Server Settings for Hotmail using the Microsoft Outlook Connector
If you are using Microsoft Outlook & the Outlook Connector, you can define your Hotmail account just like any regular POP3 email account:
Hotmail Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop3 . live. com  (logon using Secure Password Authentification - SPA, mail server port: 995)
Hotmail Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) -smtp . live . com (SSL enabled, port 25)
Additional information from this website has not been confirmed or validated as of yet but it does include additional information or perhaps corrected information. If the above steps do not fix the problem with setting up an email account for the HP Apps then read on:
Yahoo! Mail Settings
Yahoo Mail offers standard POP3 access for receiving emails incoming through your Yahoo mailbox, by using your favorite email client software. To setup your email client for working with your Yahoo account, you need to select the POP3 protocol and use the following mail server settings:
Yahoo Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.mail.yahoo.com (port 110)
Yahoo Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - smtp.mail.yahoo.com (port 25)
POP Yahoo! Mail Plus email server settings
Yahoo Plus Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com (SSL enabled, port 995)
Yahoo Plus Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com (SSL enabled, port 465, use authentication)
· Google GMail Settings
The Google GMail service offers email client access for retrieving and sending emails through your Gmail account. However, for security reasons, GMail uses POP3 over an SSL connection, so make sure your email client supports encrypted SSL connections.
Google Gmail Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.gmail.com (SSL enabled, port 995)
Outgoing Mail Server - use the SMTP mail server address provided by your local ISP or smtp.gmail.com (SSL enabled, port 465)

The outgoing mail server needs SSL support, so make sure your email client software supports SSL connections over the SMTP protocol.

Iphone POP/IMAP Setup
Although I am sure it is out of scope for HP to assist with iPhone setup with mail, contact, calendars, etc so here is a PDF with pictures and a walkthrough from:
https://www.millikin.edu/it/services/HandH/Documents/iPhone%20IMAP%20POP%20Setup.pdf
This hyperlink seems inactive so you may have to copy and paste for a direct walkthrough of this comprehensive pdf.
Lastly if the above information is incorrect or does help, here is one last website to provide you with a complete list that I found located at att.com to assist their customers trying to setup emails in conjunctions with their apps.

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
