I can receive but not send email

[sjssf]

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but I get all my POP email but I can't seem to send. Is there a setting I should check?

I had to monkey around with the "outgoing settings" for a little while before I could get things to work. Just because it said everything was setup correctly, it still might not have been.

It's possible you're in a similar situation as myself.

I have Bellsouth DSL, and am using them for my email. At some point they switched their email servers over to some yahoo servers/yahoo mail, but not everyone. This got really confusing for me because it seems in some states, bellsouth email users outgoing/incoming email changed and others it didn't. Either way in the end I learned that incoming email can come from any connection, but if I want to send email it has to be done from MY bellsouth DSL (if on the Droid, Wifi, if on the computer, WiFi or direct line). If I don't send email out through my internet then outgoing is blocked.

Try sending it over WiFi, then turn WiFi off and only send through 3G. You can even use a Juicedefender APN widget to turn off 3G (or airplane mode lol) and then on WiFi while in airplane mode to test that.

Need more info

OP Welcome to the forums. Were you able to get your outgoing emails fixed yet??

Thanks. I played with all the settings and then decided to do what i should have done in the beginning. I contacted my ISP. It was the port setting. The default "25" wouldn't work but now I'm all set.
Thanks.
