Help Droid Newbie w/Pop3 Email issues

Hello,

My last phone (that I had waaaay too long) was a Windows mobile 6.1 phone (motoQ9h) which was a PIA and a half.

I'm about a month into being a Android/droid owner and so far enjoying it very much

I've got one issue so far...

Using the stock email email app on my Droid Charge, I entered the info for my cox.net email account.

I can receive new emails without issue. I can Send emails without issue.
This tells me that the pop3 and smtp settings are correct.

The problem is very odd...

When I send myself a test email (from my pc) with an attachment like a .wav or .gif, I can open it fine on my droid and see/save the attachment.

I've got cox telephone, and have it set up to email me my voicemails as as a (.wav) attachment to the email.

When I get the emails from cox with the wav file attached, I shows up on the droid as a new email, and when I click it, it starts to open, (meaning I see the little rotating circle) and then I get the error "Network Not Available".

I'm stumped.

Oh yeah.. side question... When I go back to accounts, I can see where I change settings like how frequent to check the email and whether or not to add a sig line... etc.. But I don't see how to bring back up the pop3/smtp etc settings that I am using for the account in question.

Tony!
 
When you go to the account settings, scroll down to Server Settings, the POP3 info is under Incoming Settings, and the SMTP is under Outgoing Settings.

I have an IMAP email account setup in place of POP3 (very similar). There is no way to access those settings once the account has been setup - at least not that I can see in the stock email app.
