yahoo email & optonline server

petepaz · Jun 19, 2014

just got my HTC one (M8) and setting up my emails. personal email- hotmail account no problem. work email managed to get incoming emails but cant send emails. the email is a yahoo based account but we are on optonline for our outgoing server. had a similar problem with my thunderbolt but since the phone is now unactivated i can't access that info to check the settings.
any help would be great
thanks

what about the smtp setting?

petepaz · Jun 20, 2014

still no go. receiving emails ok just can't sent. so far every smtp and port setting i use it tells me it can not connect to my server or can't authenticate my info

Why are you using an optonline server for a yahoo account?

petepaz · Jun 20, 2014

it's my work email and that is the way the service is set up, not sure why but i did get it to work on my thunderbolt. i should have wrote done the settings but i didn't think i would have this problem again and now i can't get to the settings window since the phone is not activated.

SMTP server = mail.optonline.net
Security = none
Port = 587
Require sign-in: on
