Setting up POP3 from WI.RR.Com

[Brewski88]

Hi Guys -

I'm trying to get my POP 3 email account set up through time warner.

I have put in my user id/password, as well as the pop-server.wi.rr.com and smtp-server.wi.rr.com and each time I try to connect I Get:

Warning: Cannot connect to the mail server to verify your account information, Your server is not responding.

Anyone else get this? I've been getting it the last couple of days.

I'm getting the same thing, trying to set up my cableone.net email. I just got my eris today.

Have you called TW tech. TW is not my ISP, but a similar issued just needed a port number change

ok here's what you need to do, I just fixed mine. First call your cable company or e-mail provider & get your information that it's asking for correct, such as pop and ports etc. then call verizon tech support and they'll walk you right through it. Turns out I wasn't completeing the process, just doing 1/2 of it but twice. first you have to set up for incomming mail and then outgoing mail. I didnt know this.
Hope that helps.

Fixed it.

I had to uncheck "Login Required" on the outgoing (SMTP) section.

Works fine now. Thanks all for your feedback!

Disregard, outgoing mail still doesn't work. I'm going to call TWC to get the port that needs to be open.

Contact your email service provider or do a web search to find your proper incoming and outgoing settings. SMTP port 587 sometimes work for sending mail.

Also, the stock email app has serious bugs and you should use any alternative.

Here are some complaints from other droidforums members using the stock client:
Verizon emails getting mashed together
Zombie email messages
Glitch? Droid emails
Losing email accounts
Reply to email and sents old mail
Droid sends random, old emails instead of my reply
POP3 text encoding issue
Email Problems...Please Help!
POP Email Switcheroo

Here are some of the bug reports associated with these problems:
Issue 6616 - android - Issue with Email Application sending incorrect emails. - Project Hosting on Google Code
Issue 2630 - android - Email app uses base64 encoding for plain text messages - Project Hosting on Google Code
Issue 4866 - android - Corporate exchange email account keeps getting removed / deleted approximately daily - Project Hosting on Google Code
Issue 5378 - android - Email synchronization halts after given period of inactivity - Project Hosting on Google Code

On top of all this, the stock client lacks basic features.

Usually these types of ISPs will tell you they don't support cell phones on their networks and won't give you any real info. Try the following: in manual setup put in port 465 and/or 587. Those two have worked on quite a few ISPs.
