Finding a server for email accounts

Hello

when creating an email account to my samsung droid none of the servers given "work." How do i find a server that corresponds with my email accounts?

Much thanks!!


Firstly, this is in the wrong place, maybe a mod can move. As for server settings, google them.
Out of interest, who is your email with? Alternativly use maildroid, an email app that has a decent Auto setup feature.

Thanks i will try the maildroid app ............... my email accounts are hotmail accounts. I have tried everything with no luck!!

HOTMAIL
Incoming (POP3)
User name = Full Email Addy ( me@hotmail.com )
Server = pop3.live.com
Port = 995
SECURE SSL Ticked

Outgoing (SMTP)
Again username = Full email
Server = smtp.live.com
Port = 587
Secure SSL Ticked

Those are the same settings i currently use with MailDroid
However should work with Any Mail client.

Please Thank if this Helps.
