Can't send mail through Xpress Mail - Treo Forum

dettem · 03-23-2008, 09:50 PM

I've had the Centro for a month. Today was the last day of my 30-day buyer's remorse period, and after much thought and research, I decided to keep it. Half an hour after my local AT&T store closed, I tried to send emails through using Xpress mail, and was unable to do so. No explanation was given - just a message that the emails were not sent. I was able to send emails out before, and I am still able to receive mail. A soft reset did not help. Any suggestions?

same problem. i use imap. have others seen this?

Looks like the emails went through after midnight last night. Do I need to adjust settings somewhere so that the emails are sent immediately rather than later (if so, I can't seem to figure out where/how to do that).

Without changing anything, it now seems to be working fine.

Dettem,

I think the problem you're having in getting responses is that the Centro is new to AT&T and x-press mail is not used in the Sprint version. Sorry we can't help you out. I don't think any of us know enough to answer intelligently...not that that has stopped some of us before from asking.

No problem. Xpress mail was working fine this morning, but this evening, I find that I am unable to send out mail again. I'm on hold with AT&T. If I get any answers, I'll post it here.

So the AT&T rep suggested that I delete Xpress Mail (she found it to be inconsistent) and use what she called device-based email. I deleted Xpress mail, and she walked me through the following steps.

Pick Email Icon (will launch a page with Versamail on top left corner)
Press Menu button
Pick Accounts
Click New
Enter email address and password
Choose Done
Wait a few minutes, then Choose Get to get your emails

The rep immediately sent me a test email, and I was able to reply. So far, so good. I hope this information helps others out there.

When I pick the Email icon, it now takes me to my email screen with AOL printed on the upper left corner. Seems like I have a direct connection, rather than going through Xpress Mail or Versamail.

dettem, you're using Versamail, it's just configured to use your AOL account so that's what it shows at the top of the screen.

Glad you had good a good experience with an at&t rep.
