fastmail.net and sending on Motorola Q

sulster · 7 Dec 2006, 03:52 AM

I have been using my work pop account as my incoming server and www.messagingengine.com as my outgoing for a long time with no issues on a Palm TX with Snappermail.

I then got a Motorola Q (with the update pre-installed) and used it till my heart's content until yesterday, when I became unable to send. I receive onto the Q fine, but all of my outgoing messages are in the Outbox. I have an Error Message regarding problems "downloading" and telling me to make sure I have service on my network.

My settings are
Outgoing server mail.messagingengine.com
Outgoing server requires authentication
Use different user name for outgoing server
User name me@fastmail.net
Password (I just had it sent to me to make sure)
Domain if necessary BLANK
Require SSL connection BLANK

The Qusers.com forum tells folks with this issue to use a verizon text account as Outgoing. Any ideas on why messagingengine.com would suddenly quit on me?

Thanks!

No idea, nothing has changed here.

Can you try restarting your phone?

Maybe they started blocking port 25. Is there a place in the phone you can specify the SMTP port to use? If so, try changing it to 26.

Wow-- that did it! For the record, to change port, I changed the outgoing server to

mail.messagingengine.com:26

You are THE MAN!
