Hey Navsin,

POP and SMTP are separate protocols (POP for receiving and SMTP for sending) and both probably require authentication. It looks like your POP (receiving) may be working but SMTP (sending) isn't.

Try this:

Go to your account settings (Mail->Edit Accounts) and select the account you're using for POP.

Scroll down to where it says Outgoing server (SMTP), and make secure Secure Authentication is turned on (it should say None, Login, or CRAM-MD5). You probably need Login.

Then, enter your username and password right below that.

Save, and retry send/receive.

If it still doesn't work, go back to the same place and check if Secure connection is enabled. There are 3 settings - None, Normal (TLS) and SSL. Try the last two (TLS and SSL). Might also try switching the port around from 25 to 465 to 1025.

One of these should work for ya.

It has been seen and noted (by the very person responsible for any potential implementation, which is more than you'd get most anywhere else). Whether they'll act on it is another issue, and if you want that to happen you should write emails to Nokia Customer Service, which is the official feedback route. http://www.nokiausa.com/get-support-...are/contact-us is a good start. Now I won't reply to you any more, and I expect you to be courteous enough to leave this thread for useful discussion as well.

? Last time I checked this is a thread on MfE. My issue will be noted when fixed. Fix has not arrived and I am holding a $600 brick.

Hi chaps,

I have an ongoing issue with the MfE app in the N900 refusing to connect to our Exchange 2003 server. We have the latest pe1.1 firmware (checked it today 5th Feb 2010 and no newer firmware is avialble).

The MfE initialy worked fine and started the initial sync. As the initial sync finished, the only option was Previous. The Finish button didnt highlight. We left it ages (about 6 hours) but nothing, so we cancelled it and lost the lot.

We tried to set it up again straight away but now cant get past the server information. It says

"Exchange server is not responding verify account settings are correct".

We've checked the account, tried other accounts on the same server, and it says the same each time.

The SSL cert is a valid one and we can connect using the same user details to the servers web interface and work with email that way, so we are happy the server is workin. Other Exchange push devices are also working though this is the only N900 we have.

Any ideas ?

Olly

This almost sounds like a network issue; are you using GSM or 802.11 for this?

It's a longshot, but you could try reducing your MTU just to eliminate that from the picture.

You can do that (temporarily to test) with:

# ifconfig <interface> mtu 1400

You need to do that from a shell as root (with the gainroot package); not sure your unix knowledge so let me know if you need more info.
