Samsung Galaxy S Series

[CF1]

Hi, I am hoping someone will be able to help me, I have searched various forums looking for answers but unfortunately nothing seems to solve the email problem on my Galaxy S2.

My Samsung Galaxy S2 will not send emails with or without attachments, I didnt realise the emails I was writing were not getting sent but sitting in my outbox.

I can receive emails ok.

I have deleted my account and reset it, I have looked at the APN as advised and all I keep getting is 'connection error' and I am at a loss as to what to try now.

My email provider is BT Internet - my mail outgoing settings are:-

SMTP server: mail.btinternet.com

Security Type: None

Port: 587

Incoming Server:

User Name : myemail address

Password: my password

POP3 server: mail.btinernet.com

Security Type:None

Port 110

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks - Carole

You can use the SMTP server from your Gmail account

Outgoing settings
SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 465
Security type: SSL (always)

Hope that helps

Thank you for your quick response, sorry for being so dumb but I dont really understand what you mean.

Will I still be able to use the BT mail account, as I do need to keep using this account and not change to another.

Could you explain to me how I do what you suggested.

Thanks v much

Hi again, since I messaged back to you I rang Vodafone who came up with the exact same option as you advised me and I have managed to do it, so thank you so much for your help - I seem to be up and running again now - Carole
