Email problem

tony glenn

Anyone know why I can receive but not send e-mails on my android phone? I've tried to close and re-open my mail account, but each time I re-enter my email address, I'm told the address is already in use etc. and I can't get any further. I've contacted Meteor (my account) and also Eircom (my email carrier) but both just pass me from number to number with no result. Help!!!

Your outgoing mail server needs to be set to whatever network you are on so if you are on Meteor 3G, just use Eircom's because they don't block it (mail1.eircom.net).

If you are connecting to Wi-Fi for UPC for example, you need their SMTP server (smtp.upcmail.ie).

Ok delete the Email account in your Settings under Accounts & Sync, the follow this guide to set it up again.

When you choose "Manual Setup", use the following details for your account:

Account Type: Email Account - IMAP
Incoming Mail Server: webmail.eircom.net
Outgoing Mail Server: mail1.eircom.net / smtp server of your provider
Username: Email address without @eircom.net
Password: Password of email account
