EMAIL ISSUES

[my9cats]

Anyone having a problem connecting to email?

I keep getting "setup could not finishm unable to open connection to server".

This is on IMAP or POP.

I have know idea which one to choose so I tried both.

Same message.

Try tech support

I had no problem setting up my several accounts sorry.  Try support.

Mine is a Pop3 and on my LG Expo Smartphone, I was never able to set up my "main" email account. I entered all the info and spent days trying to get it to work before just giving up.

I'm wondering if I will have the same problem setting up my "main" email on the NC. I'm not ready to try yet (time constraints) but will post an update if I'm successful.

I had the same problem and just solved it. Put mail. In front of the pop server name. That seemed to solve it for me. Mousie

Tried Tech support on the board.

No reply. Guess they're all over here.

That fixed mine.  Outgoing server should have smtp in front of it.

Ex.  comcast.net would be   mail.comcast.net (for incoming server)  and the outgoing (sending server) smtp.comcast.net

Whether I use POP or IMAp it already says 'mail.com'.

Joezrpf explains it better. See above Mousie

I was able to get a Gmail account set-up pretty quickly.  The one thing though is that it does not auto update. I sent a test e-mail to my Gmail account and my phone buzzed instantly but I had to manually refresh my Nook to see the e-mail.

Watched the video.

Very helpful.

Idiot me when I entered my gmail address left off the 'g'.

Senior moment....my bad.....

Now works fine.

Thanks to all for trying to help this aging babyboomer.

Now on to the landscape issue lol...

Checked mine after reading your post.

Sent test email. Smartphone came up right away.

Waited a few minutes for NC email to kick in.

Didn't.

Clicked synch botton at bottom left. Arrows spun around.

Only after I did this did the email notification appear in the status bar.

A little late.....

An obvious glitch.....

I'm am having problems with an ATT account.

I tried the mail.att.net but it still tells me setup could not finish

'unable to open connection to server'

any thoughts?

I had the same problem.

Turns out I left out a letter when I entered my email address.

Recheck how you entered your email and password.

Sure would like to know I wasn't the only one who had a duh moment LOL.

I also had trouble with my att email. It wouldn't let me use POP, so I used IMAP.

Found this from Yahoo! Mobile Help:

Incoming Server - imap.mail.yahoo.com

Outgoing Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com

Incoming Port - 993 (requires SSL)

Outgoing Port - 465 (requires SSL)

Username: full email address (bill@yahoo.com)

Password: is the password you login to Yahoo! with

Worked for me. Good luck!

[lazisusann]

I got mine to finally work....just kept going through steps over and over.....once 1 email worked, I got the rest to work. Who knows why or what was wrong....but I'm happy now!

[gogirlEH]

I had the same problem with ymail but got it to work using the directions below,.

No issues at all, except how do you do a mass deletion from the trash folder without having to check each individual email?

[Awesome_in_MO]

No problems here either...just glad to have the email app. Don't think there is a way to do a mass delete from trash...
