Hotmail Account receives emails fine but won't send?

---

Hi, I hope this hasn't been asked, I searched and had a look through a few pages manually and couldn't find anything.

I seem to have a problem sending emails from my hotmail account on the HTC Desire. I have an HD2 set up with my account and it works fine, but my friends desire set up with MY details will receive my emails but not send them. Has anyone come across this before. I've been through the settings and they match up with what is listed online.

Thanks in advance

(again hope its not already been asked)

Check your account settings and apply these settings:

Outgoing:

Outgoing mail server address - smtp.live.com

Security type - TLS

Server port - 25

Hi, yeah I've checked through these and they perfectly match the settings on the phone. I've even registered myself for Gmail, set up the phone to receive the Gmail emails (which it does fine) but it will also not send from the Gmail account.

The messages disappear, they go to sent items not outbox. But just never seem to reach the destination. (tested the destination several times by sending emails from my HD2 and its working fine)

Thank you anyway though

Try changing the outgoing server port to 587 and that should work for you.

If not, are you rooted or running the stock firmware? Have you tried a hard reset to eradicate any potential software bugs?

Yeah I saw someone had 587 and I tried that. I think I have found the problem (after saying I tested the destination thourghly) emails sent from the Desire are being rejected by our mailscanner. However when sent from my HD2 they arrive fine. But when I sent an email from the Desire to another hotmail account it worked. When sending to a yahoo account it arrived and then instantly disappeared again into junk. So I guess now I would ask...do you know why the emails are being put into junk when sent from the desire, but the same email from an HD2 doesn't?

Thanks

No idea mate. I thought it could be something to do with your mailscanner config on your mail server but like you say, it receives email ok when sent from your HD2 :S

Yeah definitely a weird one, I guess I'll have a tinker and see what happens, if I get a result I'll post it up incase anyone has the same problem in future.

But thanks for your help
