WM6 vs. Cox Communications.

[pickpocket]

I bought the T-Mobile Wing as an upgrade from my MDA last week. I have my small issues with it but I'll save that for another post. What I'm inquiring about right now is about how my phone, and my wife's Dash are having problems sending/receiving emails from our home accounts via our Cox.net accounts. We didn't encounter this problem with me on my MDA running WM5 or prior to her upgrade to WM6. Of course I called T-Mobile and asked them about it. It was as confusing to them as it was to me. Sending/receiving email via Yahoo works flawlessly. Am I the only one having this problem?

This is a bone-stock T-Mobile Wing........for now:)

Hi Pickpocket
I am not sure this will help you or not .....but after struggling for weeks finally I got it working for send/receive using this trick.....
1) Sign up for myemail on t-mobile.com
2) then use your cox.net incoming server settings for incoming server.
3) finally for outgoing server settings use "myemail.t-mobile.com"(no quotes)
username for outgoing server:yourmobilenumber:1
password for outgoing server:same as cox.net email account.
My good advice: Try to avoid "mymail.t-mobile.com" for incoming.

Good Luck !!!!!!!!

Now that contradicts what a few different T-Mobile reps told me on the phone. They told me that with WM6, I didn't have to go through the whole process of setting up my email on the T-Mobile website. And you're also suggesting that I use Cox's server settings for my incoming mail, and T-Mobile's settings for my outgoing? :confused: Sounds jacked up but I'll give it a shot in a couple of days when my ship pulls back in to port.

Yes the settings t-mobile reps are talking about are the default settings loaded in device. Try to add all the settings manually.
Good luck!!!

With the MDA you could automatically setup your mytmobile email between tmo and the MDA. I don't think by default they have that option on the Wing, at least I haven't seen it. You could probably add the cab for it and maybe get it, but otherwise you'll have to set it up manually as stated earlier.

I have Cox Email also...I can receive my emails, but i am not able to send emails from my Wing. Never could on my MDA or my Dash. I'm guessing Cox doesn't allow people to send emails through their accounts unless they are actually on the Cox servers.

Its true that you have to actually be connected to the Cox network in order to send via their smtp server. But you should be able to send email using Villaboy25's instructions.

And pickpocket, you may be in the navy...but dont feel bad...after all I "work" for "Cox".....:D

I could send and receive emails all day with my MDA using WM5. It wasn't until I got WM6 on my wife's Dash that I noticed this problem. I thought maybe it was a Dash issue until I bought my Wing with WM6 loaded by T-Mobile. Yahoo works, so I have to assume its a Cox thing for now.

Guys I'm telling you...it works! Use villaboys instructions. I am able to send from my Cox.net account just fine using this method.
