OK, I have a ppc and verizon is my phone server, cox is my email server, this solution didn't work for me. Verizon is pointing to Cox and Cox is pointing to Verizon. 6 calls and several hours later, I still don't have a solution. Both are telling me just to use gmail when on my phone...that's not an acceptable solution to me. Thoughts?

I spent hours today trying to find a solution. as a lot of you might already know cox blocks outgoing email through their server unless it is sent on their network. this is to help prevent spam.

this is fix is for anyone who can recieve email on their phone with their cox email but cannot send.

first thing to do is to go into your account setup on the phone.
go through and enter all your login info. setup the incoming settings as pop.xxxx.cox.net, where as xxxx = east, west or central depending on your location. next when you get to the outgoing mail setting you need to check both boxes, "outgoing server requires authentication" and "use same settings for sending e-mail" then in the outgoing server field you want to enter this EXACTLY, smtp.xxxx.cox.net:465 again...xxxx is replaced by east, west or central depending on location. now at the bottom of the screen click on advanced setting and check the box for "require SSL for outgoing e-mail" ONLY this box. leave the incoming email box unchecked. make sure the network connection type is "The Interenet" hit done and go through the rest of the last couple setup option and you're done. you should be able to both send AND receive email through your phone for your cox account. hope this helps someone.

weird I dont ever have to do that mine works just like I set mine up via outlook

I am a former alltel now verizon by merger customer...and as of 9/1/09 the incoming mail server for cox is now not working ....pop.east.cox.net is the one I have used for 3 years... Anyone know if cox or verizon has changed something?

[balston1975]

I figured it out myself....I hadto add the server port number :110 to the end so my pop3 incoming mail is working with

pop.east.cox.net:110

Hope this helps others in the future...

Sorry, this did not work. I went through and verified all settings and attempted to send a test e-mail. I did not get an error message this time but the mail never reached my wifes account. I waited an hour and attempted it again. Still no luck!

turn on authenticate on out going and works fine for me.

This is not working for me. It doesnt give me the option to sign in once I include the :465

Thank you so much -- my new HTC HD2 was lost and lonely without my cox.net account.

You put an end to my 2-day search.

THE KEY: DELETE your cox.net account on the HTC HD2 and START AGAIN from the main window found at: Start --> E-Mail

THANK YOU AGAIN.. you ROCK! This old hippy is happy now, man..

Thank you Thank you Thank you! I have fought with the Verizon guys for years and they keep telling me it is my phone was too old, and I needed to use mobile email or gmail/yahoo. Ticking me off, knowing they didn't know what they were talking about.
It totally worked and now I can send and receive email.
Thank you so much.
