Email setup probs on galaxy

[Anonymous]

Hi, I have a samsung galaxy and can't get onto my email. My broadband provider advised me to ask if POP3 is restricted? I don't think it is. I'm putting in port 110 and other details seem to be correct, but I keep getting message 'unable to connect server'. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Many thanks.

Try port 25

Are u referring to non gmail email???

I know if I log into the default email.app, I just set username and password n that was it.

The default email app should automatically configure the settings by entering just your email address and password. You shouldn't need to manually configure the settings.

Hi, I also am having an identical problem when attempting to retrieve e mails on a nexus. All details are identical to those used for home PC, I Phone, Netbook and I pad. Nexus reports - unable to connect to the server. Anybody out there help?

Thanks to "MI5" Problem went away when I changed the SMTP port to 25. Great stuff.

Glad you got it sorted, one for us to remember for the future:smileyhappy:

I wish I could get to the part where it asks for an smtp port, mine says that it's unable to validate username or password so will only get as far as incoming - it's on an HTC OneX so just posting to tell you it's not only the S3 :manlol:
