I can receive emails no problem, but I cannot send emails unless I actually log in to outlook.

I have a Samsung Galaxy J3 (6) - my email account is with msn. I receive emails on my phone, but if I try to send one it reports "sending failed". I have found loads of stuff about settings and server names etc. on the net, but nothing I try helps. In addition, some of the details advice settings that do not appear on my phone, ie advanced settings for email?? Some of the solutions do not seem to be complete. I think that the problem is an incompatability between O2 setup details and Galaxy J3 setup facilities. I just cannot believe O2 do not have a comprehensive resolution for this type of problem because I cannot imagine I am the first person to come across this problem with outgoing emails, or is emailing now out of date?

You just need the correct smtp settings to send emails from your phone.

Incoming e-mail: pop3.live.com

Imcoming port: 995

outgoing e-mail: smtp.live.com

Outgoing port: 25

@Anonymous Have the smtp settings provided by @MI5 resolved your issue? If so, please let him know.

Isn't port 25 blocked now by O2?

Shouldn’t be but there are other options using ssl if we get some feedback.

Thanks for your help - If I change the incoming settings created when I initially set up for email, authentication fails. If I try changing the outgoing setting to smtp.live.com, the change is accepted, but still get "sending failed" when trying to send email. I will just have to put this down to an incompatability between my email provider, my phone service provider, and my phone not allowing me to send emails. And technology is going to be driving cars???? I do not think so when I cannot even accomplish something so simple because h/w and s/w systems refuse to communicate. Thanks for you assistance, but being very sceptical about all this new technology anyway, I have already spent too much time trying to get this sorted so I will just send emails when I have access to my laptop.

If you fancy one last try.....?

Incoming e-mail: imap.live.com
Imcoming port: 993
Remember to add your username and login password here.

outgoing e-mail: smtp.live.com
Outgoing port: 465
Tick use SSL and use same sign in details as incoming server.
