Is there a known email bug for the Kirvin_CS_35_104_Sprint ROM? I can't seem to get it to send mail when on evdo. All my pop/smtp settings are correct. This is very strange. Seems to work fine with WIFI on but I can only receive emails when in data mode (sprint). Did I miss a thread somewhere?

no bueno

Through which account are you trying to send it and what settings are you using?

I've tried "sprint" and "the internet" with my normal pop/smtp settings. I've just sent myself and received an email, but now when I try to forward it back to myself, it lags for about a minute and gives me a message "Messages cannot be downloaded to your device...." and also "message cannot be sent... "

I have a pop3 account with roadrunner (aka brighthouse) so my settings would be incoming: pop-server.tampabay.rr.com & outgoing is: smtp-server.tampabay.rr.com. OK now I can retrieve my mail when I'm either on wifi OR I'm plugged in via activesync, but no connection (for email) at all through sprint. Also I've noticed that my phone is now sometimes having trouble connecting to the cellular data line for internet and I'll have to soft reset to get it to connect (sprint #777). It will make 2 attempts and then tell me It can't find the cellular data connection. I'm not sure if they are related. My evdo signal strength is very good as I live very close to a tower. Internet is speedy. WHY NO EMAILS! ARRRGGHHH! Other than the email thing, I love this AKU release. It really is much more efficient than 2.0. Thanks for your interest in my prob dprout69!

Just noticed that when I goto send/receive emails, the signal bar icon flickers for a few seconds each time it fails.

Not sure if this applies here, but I have always had email "relaying denied" by my roadrunner accounts - i.e. roadrunner's smtp servers refuse to send emails from computers that are connected to the internet through someone other than RR. The workaround is, for that particular email account, change your outgoing from RR to sprint or some other mail server that allows relaying.

I'm in agreement with TMB as I've ran into the same problem trying to setup RR accounts when not on the RR network directly (i.e. a client wants to check RR email from their office). There used to be a workaround using smtp-auth.______.rr.com, but I think that too has gone away.

I would suggest either using webmail or forwarding your RR emails (leaving a copy on the server) to a gmail or other internet based account.

Thanks. Actually found a RR smtp post late last nite. I switched over to gmail for smtp. How lame for roadrunner.
