Outgoing server help on Droid Bionic for my webmail

My webmail provider does not have an outgoing server.  The provider's instructions to set up email on my Droid suggests I find a third party outgoing mail server to use.  Any ideas?

    I'm noticing this more and more hmcandrew. I'm not sure as o why this is the case but as a fellow email user I have a creative workaround. May I ask how many email accounts do you have on your device? You can use the Gmail outgoing server as your default to have emails delivered. Can I assume that you have a default Gmail account on your Bionic? If so then you can use the outgoing server that's already on the phone to do so. Let me know if you have any questions on how to do so.

  • IPhone MobileMe Incoming & 3rd Party Outgoing Server Help!

    Okay this is my first post and any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I have a MobileMe account and I setup my account on my iPhone and that works great. However since most people do not know my @me.com address I want to use a 3rd party outgoing server (hosted by GoDaddy.com) and the server needs to use port 80 and SSL off. I have not been able to get SSL turned off, I can set it to off but it instantly goes back to ON and I am unable to send e-mail using my outgoing mail server with SSL turned on. I have setup Mail on my MBP with using the incoming server as MobileMe and the outgoing server as my godaddy.com account (with SSL off and using port 80) and it works perfect. On my laptop I am able to send e-mails using my MobileMe account but instead of showing it coming from MobileMe it shows coming from my own domain. And all e-mails sent to my domain get forwarded to my MobileMe account and all of this works perfect on my laptop but I cannot get it working on my iPhone. Incoming e-mail on the iPhone is not a problem as I can receive everything since my domain is forwarding all e-mail to MobileMe. It's just sending e-mail I cannot get it to send using my outgoing server from godaddy. Thanks for your time in this matter.

    I see what you're saying, but actually I was trying this with my iPhone connected via Wi-Fi to my home network (connected to Rogers). So although what you said makes sense, it doesn't apply to my case, I don't think. I have set it up to authenticate my user name on Rogers to permit outside access.
    I still think it has to do with not being able to re-name my e-mail address to @Rogers.com, not @me.com. If this field could be edited, like on my iMac, then I'm pretty sure it would work. I don't know what the work-around is. If I try to add Rogers as a new account and have my mail sent from there, then my sent messages won't appear under my Me account on my iPhone, and it'll be a mess. I'd really like to keep everything inside one account.

  • 8120 Outgoing Email Server help...

    Hello all...
    (I guess there are no bound manuals for this phone, as I received no answer to my other post.  I have another question though....)..
    Earthlink requires an outgoing server of smtp.earthlink.net for me to send email to my email address, or to send BCC's there.  I see no way to change the outgoing server on this device.  Is there a way I'm missing?
    I am receiving all other mail on my BB, but those I've sent to myself or BCC'd there, have ended up in limbo, somewhere, not even on my email server.  Just disappeared into thin air, along with all the delivery notificatons I should've received upon sending other emails, which indeed did find their way to their intended destinations.  And I need those copies..
    I'm not using wireless or the computer software.  I need to change the setting through my mobile provider's website (T-Mobile), where I don't see this option, or through RIM, or directly via the phone's settings.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    If I can't solve it, I'll have to return the phone for one compatible with this particular Earthlink setup.  Shame too, because the battery and most other features are good.  They should've allowed us to pull email down from the server on demand though.  Waiting three or sometimes fifteen minutes or more isn't acceptable really, but I could put up with it, if I can fix the outgoing server problem.
    Thank you..

    BIS uses its own smtp server to send out email on your behalf. there is no way to configure this. If you has yahoo or gmail or hotmail email address, BIS posts the sent items in the sent folder for these providers and also for Gmail, yahoo and go daddy the delivery is instant, no wait.
    I amnot surte why you got complains, the 1-15 lag is by design on BIS, nothing new.

  • Droid Bionic text messages going to wrong people

    I have had my Droid Bionic for several months now. It is not rooted and I don't download tons of apps on my phone. I don't use netflix to watch movies or download music. The apps I have are mainly to help me with work. So I'm not app happy just downloading things non stop. This is why I'm confused and irritated. My Bionic has started sending text messages to the wrong people! I had this issue with my Droid X which is why I switched to the Bionic, hoping that after all these years of making smart phones motorola, google and verizon would put a phone out there that actually works like it's supposed to. How much practice do these phone companies need to get their OS right? I don't mind paying a lot of money for something that will make my life a little easier but I get very irritated paying a lot of money for something that doesn't work the way it's supposed to...and at the most inappropriate times. The Bionic has gone from helping to adding to my daily hassles. Is anyone else having issues with text messages going to the wrong people on their Bionics? Have you found a way to fix it? I'm also getting error messages that just started about a week ago...com.motorola.main.service has stopped and then a option to forceclose. The tech support person at Verizon sounded like he had never seen a smart phone before and gave me the Verizon standard technical reply..."do a factory reset". I should not have to reset anything on a NEW Phone! Why don't you fix these problems Google, Motorola and Verizon and in a timely manner?! I know for a fact if I didn't pay for my phone as promised or pay my bill as promised I would suffer the consequences immediately! You cell phone companies are all about getting your money and leaving us customers out here hanging and irritated. If you think my feelings are misguided then feel free to prove me wrong. FIX THESE ISSUES AND FIX THEM IN A TIMELY MANNER! BETTER YET, PUT OUT A PRODUCT THAT WORKS AS PROMISED IN YOUR ADS! TRAIN YOUR TECHS TO ACTUALLY RESOLVE ISSUES INSTEAD OF RECITING THEIR FAVORITE MOTO "Do a factory reset"! When you do these 3 things I will not feel like someone who has been lied to, robbed, and irritated! I am usually a very positive person but after dealing with issues with 2 expensive phones I'm a little upset. Can anyone help me fix my phone?

    Go into your settings, Messages and turn on iMessage. It will then send messages that are iMessages to both your iPad and iPhone. You can also turn off this feature on the iPad if you do not want to receive messages on the iPad.

  • Im having massive issues with my email... I cant receive emails for my work email... was working perfectly and now just wont connect, i assume that I need to use my home wifi as the outgoing server?? Please help :)

    Im having massive issues with my email... I cant receive emails for my work email... was working perfectly and now just wont connect, i assume that I need to use my home wifi as the outgoing server?? Please help

    For your work email, do you use a well known server or do you use their own server? Their server IMAP and SMTP addresses might of changed or you entered them in wrong. It might be something with your router but unless you blocked every incoming connection, then it should work. I would talk to your tech guys at work to see if it is on their end.
    Hope this helped a bit, Sean

  • Mac mail - SSL option for the SMTP outgoing mail server - Help!

    Mac mail (Version 6.3 (1503)) will not let me "uncheck" the SSL option for the SMTP outgoing mail server - Help!
    Thanks!

    Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    First, empty the Trash.
    Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl \) 2> /dev/null | wc -l
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "41." Please post it in a reply.

  • TS3899 I can't SEND email from Telus account in Alberta, Canada? Does anyone know how to set up the Outgoing server? Help! And thanks!

    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.

  • I have a Droid Bionice, my 1st Smart phone. An install kept coming up ,I did it and everything has changed. I don't knpw what to do...Help...smart phone...dumb person

    I bought a Droid Bionic Smart Phone. I loved it so very much. When I was on it and install kept coming up, over & over. I Don't know what it was called but I did look and it didn't say Verizon anywhere but I assumed w/my Lookout security app it wouldn't let anything bad in. But I downloaded it now my icons are different and on my manage apps I use to have only maybe 20 settings now I have a bunch. and the lil icon looks like a blue square app w/the lil cog looking symbol in it. Everytime I try to delete one thinking it will go back to the way it was it says it will cause problems w/all other settings. And also after the icom it says com.motorola.android.deep it says that on about 20 or 25 after the icon.It won't let me disable  any of them.
    The very 1st icon on my Apps on ,y Apps setting is the blue symbol that looks like a cog, and it has 32.00KB if I try to disable that because I figure it's the mother of all of them it says in a pop up...Disable built -in app-----If you disable a built in app, other apps may misbehave.? That doesn't sound very professional to me.One even says key chain for the app. I don't know what to do. I did look at it and I assumed when it popped up it was a legit thing. I didnt know you had to beware of something that was a pop up on the page.
    I don't know if it's a Gingerbread or Ice Cream thing, I just know when I go to my settings it has overtaken 3/4th of my apps. And on most of them it doesny even offer me the chance or choice to disable it. Please somebody help me. I am so new to this. I loved my phone before now it's taken Over everything. I am scared if I run some of the things I see it says on my settings app it runs my phone,it says for instance:
    Permission
    This App can access the following on your phone
    *YOUR LOCATION
    coarse (network-based) location,fine (GPS) location
    *SYSTEM TOOLS
    modify global system settings
    STORAGE
    SYNC SERVICE
    I dont know what any of this is and it says if I stop of close any of it , it will cause the app to fail.
    How can I tell what I have downloaded as far as this whole montrosity....SO I can study it and read up what to do. I do't want to lodr my pictures or my pictures on my gallery/ I am afraid I have really screwed it up good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I THANK ANYBODY THAT CAN HELP ME IN ADVANCE....

  • Droid Bionic will not turn on (Searched the internet for answers, nothing)

    Currently, my Droid Bionic will not charge/power on. If I plug I connect it to the wall charger, nothing. If I plug it to my computer, nothing. If I bypass the USB port and use a stripped USB cable directly to the battery while it's in the phone, it turns on, but doesn't charge (Let it sit for hours turned off, then pull the cable, and no power). I've done these methods with numerous cables to include the OEM cable/charger and other branded cables/chargers and I get nothing. I can get the white light to come on with any cable and charger if I have the USB cable in slightly, but it doesn't charge or turn on when left for hours. I've tried with numerous batteries both from friends and new, same story....nothing. The only thing to get the phone on is by bypassing the usb port on the phone and directly wiring the usb cable to the battery while in the phone.
    Oh and......
    For a loooooooong time now, I have been researching the internet searching for answers to my issue....and nothing has worked. The phone is relatively new. bought it in May 2012 and have been experiencing this problem since June 2012. It's December 2012 now, so yea...a long time.

    I am having the same issue since last night (although i have not yet tried stripping a USB cable and connecting directly to the battery while in the phone) where the phone will not boot at all with any combination of SIM card, SD card, USB charger/computer, etc.
    I did come across one solution online though that you might try. One person said they had the same issue, however it was a bad SD card that was shorting out his battery and instantly draining it (he tried multiple fully charged brand new batteries with same issue).
    I would suggest removing the SD card to see if thats the problem. If not then i'd be interested to see if you do find a solution. Mine was buggy ever since the last update and finally died completely last night. I'll be going in for a replacement today.
    Hope this helps

  • Check the account settings for the outgoing server "(null)"?

    I try to send emails to myself with the attachment of a picture so I can view it on my computer without having to plug it in, because it is synced with another computer. However every time I have tried to send a photo it is unable to send, and it says 'Check the account settings for the outgoing server "(null)"'
    Can anybody help and tell me what this means?
    Thanks

    That means you have an error in the setting for the outgoing server.
    You need to correct that error.

  • Stories about early upgrades for the Droid Bionic.

    Hello,
    I have been searching for stories about the Bionic for a while, and I have seen a couple pop up that say Verizon is offering early upgrades to *SOME* customers.
    http://www.gizmocrunch.com/mobile/8185--verizon-iphone-5-htc-vigor-nexus-prime-motorola-droid-bionic
    I have been a customer of Verizon for a little less than two years. I am still using the OG Droid, and it is starting to bogg down quite a bit and freeze/crash randomly, so getting a new phone is one of the top things on my list.  My upgrade discount is up on 10/25/11, but seeing that the Droid Bionic is going to come out Sept 8th (little more than a week), and seeing that Verizon is offering early upgrades to certain people, I was wondering who exactly GETS these early discounts. Reading the articles apparantly Verizon sent emails out to some people, but I haven't gotten anything about it.
    So are these articles correct? If so, who exactly CAN get the discount? And will I be able to get the phone when it comes out?

    This promotion, although recently released, doesn't necessarily pertain to the Droid Bionic alone. Verizon sent out thousands of e-mails to customers that have never owned a smart phone before and fit various other criteria. The promotion allows you to upgrade from a basic phone to a smart phone early if you wish to do so. The promotion also entitles the customer to a $100 rebate in the form of a Visa gift card if they mail in their old basic phone as well. Hope this helps.

  • Sim card for Droid Bionic

    I need to get a new sim card for my Droid Bionic and I have found several online. I know that I need a 2ff sim card and have tried visiting my Verizon retailer but they said they did not have those in their store. My problem is that I have seen red 2ff sims and white ones. Is there any difference between them? or does it matter which color I get? Please Help!!!!@f

    You might try getting a nano-sized SIM card from your local Corporate Verizon store (they're free at Corporate stores) and then using an adapter (readily found at places like Amazon).  It would make changing phones easier whenever you decide to replace your Bionic.  Be sure to get adapters that will convert the nano to both micro and 'normal' (like the Bionic uses) sized SIMs, then you're good to go with whatever phone you get after the Bionic.

  • My Droid Bionic keeps dropping calls.  Help anyone?

    My wife and I both have a droid bionic, but starting from today it keeps dropping phone calls.  Sometimes when we try to make a call, it doesn't even connect.  We tried calling landlines, mobile phones, and called each other to see where the problem is from.  Each time the phone call gets dropped.  I powered off, took out sim & SD card, and powered back on but still same problem.  We need help because it has already made a rude impression when the phone suddenly hung up on someone.  I'm guessing this is the verizon system problem since we haven't done anything different to our phone recently.  Or could it be a virus?  Do they make viruses for mobile phones now?  Its so frustrating...we can't hold a 15 sec. conversation without it dropping the call.

    Yes I took out battery, sim card, sd  card, and rebooted but same problem.  Also, I have another droid bionic my wife uses and same problem.  All started happening today.  Also strangely, AT&T is having the same problem on their landlines.  Not sure about ATT wireless however. 
    I am reporting it now.

  • I am unable to send mail on my IPad because the iPad ignores the single correctly configures outgoing server and instead looks for long since deleted outgoing server which is not listed in my settings at all.

    Some time ago I used to use an outgoing mail server, which I will call 'XYZ'.  However I changed email providers and now have a new outgoing server which I will call 'ABC'. I tried deleting that old outgoing server when I changed email providers but had problems doing so.  So what I did was completely delete all email accounts from my iPad and then reinstalled the two new email accounts from scratch, complete with the new outgoing server 'ABC'.  That appeared to be successful, and I can receive email OK.  Also the new server 'ABC' is the ONLY outgoing server listed in my settings on either account
    However despite the new server being the only one in my settings the iPad will not send mail and shows an error message saying that the settings for the OLD server 'XYZ' are incorrect.  I cannot amend or delete that server as it has already been deleted and is not listed in my settings.
    It is like the iPad is somehow still remembering that old server and thinks it's the primary one.  Or it's getting old server info fron iCloud or something.
    My iPhone has the same two email accounts and identical settings and does not have this issue.
    Any ideas, other than a complete factory reset?
    Many thanks
