Ihave an Axim x50v. I have earthlink dialup. I created a new profile and email through earthlink, just to use with my ppc. It receives just fine, but will not send any email. I was on chat with earthlink forever, but they said my settings were fine. They did ask if I could change my portal settings, but I could not find that option. They ultimately said that there didn't seem to be anything wrong, and to contact dell. Dell said that it wasn't the ppc. what should I do?
most I can think of is make sure your outgoing email is correct, go to the options screen and try with and without security authentication when sending mail. Experiment and just see... thats all I can come up with.
Check the settings below. Pay attention to the part in red as that is most likely where your problem is. Like awdark said you might have to tweak it a bit. Let us know how it turns out.
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....

I've followed this guidance but am still unable to send e-mail via Messenger (I'm not able to send with Flexmail either). I'm getting "SSL connection could not be established" and I've double-checked the instructions and tried lots of other combinations too.
I'd be very grateful for any advice; I've been trying for days to connect e-mail and I'd like to get on and develop use of the X51V in other ways! I can connect to the internet via the PPC OK and I have double checked all the Outlook settings on the PC to make sure the basic info is correct.
What else can I try please?
I did check my outgoing server address that was wrong and now I can be able to send and receive with no problem. Just verify you got everything setup how it should. My mistake was that I use pop.XXXX.net but skip the 3, so now I got pop3.XXXX.net and works fine.
In the out going settings I used my full email address and checked ssl and I was able to send. Those were the only two things I changed. I have tried everything except the full email and the ssl. TX Bob
