Hey , I just bought a wildfire s , I then configured an email (IMAP) and it synced with my mail , but couldn't send , then suddenly I can't access it and when i try to add it again it says that it's already there but I an't see it ... any ideas ? it's the standard mail widget not the gmail but the other where you can set pop/Imap and Outlook sync ..


thank you
 
If you want to set it up again, delete the existing email account first. Go into the email app, press the Menu button below the screen and select More, then Settings, then the option to Delete account.

Once deleted, set up the account again. However, you need to be aware that the general rule when sending mail is that you must use the SMTP server of the ISP with which you're connected to the internet. This generally means that you cannot use the SMTP server of your home broadband ISP and must instead use the server of your phone network provider. The exception to this is if your home broadband provider supports SMTP Authentication, where you have to log in to the SMTP server with a Username/Password similarly to how you log in to the incoming POP3/IMAP server.
