Still CANNOT send email
I have a wi-fi network setup at home using a Wireless Linksys G Router, supporting 2 desktops, 1 laptop, and xbox live. Here's my question (still yet to be answered). I set up my email account on my x50v (it's through comcast), and I am ABLE to receive my emails, but I HAVE NEVER, EVER been able to *send* any email from my pda. Can ANYONE help? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!! !

Here is what I did, most of these settings are the same as what you may have used when setting up your Outlook or Outlook Express. Here we go starting from scratch~

Start>Messaging>Accounts>New Account

Page 1/4 ~ E-mail Address
This is easy, enter your email address
Next....

Page 2/4 ~ User information
The "your name" part is what ever you want. It has no bearing on the settings.

User name is the part of your email before the @ sign (ie USERNAME@<isp>.com)

Password is your email password

Check the box for Save Password
Next....
Page 3/4 ~ Account information

Account type is POP3

Account Name is what ever you want it to be. If you set up more then one this can be very helpfull. I just used my username, same as the last page.

next....

Page 4/4 ~ Server information

This is where it can be a little different for some people. 99% of the time it is MAIL.<ISP>.COM, From looking at the Comcast site it appears they use MAIL.COMCAST.NET for the incomming and SMTP.COMCAST.NET for the out going. You can try these. But this is one of the areas you might have to tinker with. For example changing both to MAIL.COMCAST.NET

The domain you can just leave blank.

Options.....

Options page 1/3

I would not check this box for checking for messages every X# of minutes. If you are not online you will get an error message every X# of minutes.

Next....

Options Page 2/3

Here I checked the box for "Outgoing mail requiers authentication" as well as "Use separate settings"

Outgoing Settings....

Outgoing server settings

For username here I had to use my entire email address. This was very different then the rest of the set up.

Enter your password

Leave the domain blank

Check the box for save password

Check the box for "Require SSL for outgoing mail

Click OK in the upper right corner

Next....

Options page 3/3

In order to save space I would select "Get message headers only"

Check the box marked include and select 2K

Finish....


That is it! Like I said this worked for me. If it does not work try changing the Mail server settings like I said. Otherwise I am pretty much out of ideas. Let me know how it turns out. Good Luck!

Also, make sure the outgoing server requires authentication box is checked.
Another question, I set up the email account, but it always wants to use the modem instead of the wireless connection. Any way to change the default connection? I looked around and did not see one.

Thanks, my problem was the "requires authentation box" was not checked.

What do you do for outgoing mail when you are at a "Panera" wi-fi location??? Are any changes necessary to the "smtp.mail.XXXX"???

It should act just like a gateway, allowing you to connect to your mail server like you were at home.

I haven't had time to try it again, but I think where I went wrong was at the outgoing server settings. Under "username", I just used my login name (everything in front of @), and not my whole email address. Do you think that will fix it once I try it with my full email address as my login name?

Setting up email to Axim X30
Wow, you had the best and easy instructions on how to set up my Patmedia and AOL account. I am very excited to nowe start to get some use of my Axim this way.

I did have trouble setting up my Hotmail account, it kept saying the user or name already exist. Any help in getting Mr. Gates' darn system to work is appreciated.

Glad you got the others working. As far as hotmail, I don't know about the message you are getting. I do know that hotmail does require you to pay a fee for a premium service they call "Hotmail Plus" in order to have access to the POP3 settings needed. It is $19.95 a year. They also show something called MSN Mobie on their site, after signing up for that (free) you can customize the way your mobie page looks when you go to www.mobile.msn.com From here you can check your hotmail. Not really what you where looking for, but there it is. Good Luck!
