So incoming mail works fine, but when I try to send a message I get an "unable to send message" error..?? It takes me to the settings screen but everything is setup right, FML..!!

If you're using the stock mail program, go into the manual set up. At some point it should inquire if you want certificate verification/validation for outgoing mail. If that is selected, unselect it and finish the setup process.

I remember that this was a problem on my tp2. I don't use stock mail on my EVO, so I cannot confirm this will work.

I have the same issue. Talked to Sprint and they reset some things and it seemed to work for a while. Then couple days ago I started getting this again. Seems like this starts when I send an email with 8 or more attachments. Are you attaching a lot also?

I wonder what's causing it though, and naa I'm just sending text filled emails only, no attachments...

Who uses AOL anymore? Gmail, Yahoo, MSN, personal ISP email works way better. I hardly think there is much support for AOL email anymore. I guess if it comes down to it email AOL and ask them what there SMTP address is...thats the only way I can think of getting the right information.
