Hi guys,
Firstly I am using a HTC Touch Pro 2 (duuh lol) and my network is Orange UK. I want my email configured to Stirling University. I kinda figured out how to recieve emails but couldn't actually send any. I just couldn't find the outgoing server settings, here is a snippet from the actual manual they give you at Uni:
Incoming mail server
��
Student mail server: mail.students.stir.ac.uk Please note that IMAP access (and not POP3) is available on this server.
��
Staff email server: mail.stir.ac.uk
The server provides both POP3 and IMAP access. We strongly recommend using IMAP if at all possible as there are a number of serious shortcomings in the POP3 protocol. Above all, be advised that by default, POP3 clients remove messages from the server after downloading them.
Outgoing mail server
��
Server name: smtp.stir.ac.uk
Note:
This server can only be accessed from the campus network or the VPN. If you are accessing your email from a different network (e.g. from home or another university), you must use that network provider’s SMTP server.
IMAP Settings:
Server: imap.students.stir.ac.uk
Port: 993
SSL Encyrption: Yes
SMTP Settings:
Server: smtp.stir.ac.uk
Port: 587 (465 may be required for some clients)
SSL Encryption: Yes
Authenticate : Yes
Username : <Student's email address>
Password : <Regular network password>
As you can see it says something about using the network providers SMTP.. like wtf
I know a freind that has hooked his BB to the Uni E-mail crap but my HTC is not working for me
I would really really really really appreciate it if anyone had a solution for this problem, I'm thinking its rather simple but really can't do it!
Thank you.
