I'm using a Samsung i760 (Verizon) running Windows Mobile 6 (CE OS
5.2.979 - Build 17233.0.1.1).

We are using Zimbra at work and I've set the account up in the
"Messaging" program on the phone. I have the settings set via IMAP (not
as an exchange server) and it receives all the mail just fine, however
when I send the error I get is:

"The message(s) could not be sent. Check that you have network coverage
and that your account information is correct. Then try sending again."

We have watched the logs on the server and it's only sent 4 packets and
then just dies. Doesnt even send enough data to get to the
authentication phase. I've tried this on Gmail's SMTP server as well and
the same behavior.

Does anyone have any insight on this? I'd rather not use the "exchange"
type connection.

I should also add that we have other Windows Mobile users on our system
here at work and they can send. We've gone thru the settings on the
phones and everything looks identical.

Do these other users use Verizon as a cellular provider as well?

Some cell providers block access to "foriegn" SMTP servers, requiring that
you use their own server instead. Others block certain ports (i.e. 587
might be blocked, but 25 works or vice-versa.)

That's WM's generic "I couldn't send for whatever reason" response. I've
had that happen when my username or server name had a space accidentally
appended to the end.

Seeing both failed, I suspect the culprit is Verizon- they might require
you to use a Verzion SMTP server when on celular. (Which is a pain in the
a** if you regularly switch between cellular and a private network! You
either need to configure the messaging app to always use celular, or create
two acounts on the device for each mailbox- one for when on cellular, and
one when on a private network.


Check with Veizon and see ithey require users to use a Verizon SMTP server...



Good luck!

I am experiencing the same problem.

I connect to 4 accounts - 3 are Courier/qmail (IMAP) and 1 is Exchange
(IMAP) - this is the one that triggers the error. The only workaround is to
delete the account and recreate it which will last 2-3 weeks before it
triggers again. Resetting the phone does nothing to help.

This has become such a problem that I cannot use Pocket Outlook. I am
currently evaluating Flexmail and it does not have any problems with the same
4 accounts, nor does my Mac (Mail) or Thunderbird.

I sincerely hope that this is fixed - I prefer to use Pocket Outlook, but
only if it works!
