So i have searched all morning for a solution to my problem on multiple forums and websites and im not winning. My Gmail account works great, and I have my aol and yahoo acounts set up no problem (well the yahoo was a little problem but got it to work so thats all that matters). I have 2 other email accounts that no matter what I do I can not get them to work. One is my works email which is handled by a company called network solutions. I can get the incoming server setup fine but I can not get the outgoing to work. The other is my school email which is some sort of msn email account variation (username@email.itt-tech.edu which i log into through msn.com). I cant get anything to work for this accuont. If anyone has any reccomendations on how to fix this please let me know.

I also have an ITT account. Other than checking it through the browser, I found the only other option is to go here and sign up for mobile MSN: Mobile MSN
Yeah I just wanted to be able to send emails from the account easily. I already have the account forwarded to my gmail so that the emails will be push. It just seems strange that android devices are such a hassle for certain email accounts. Had all of my accounts on my blackberry with out any trouble at all.
i found this, and used it to get my itt-tech email setup. hope it helps you and everyone else i know that's struggling with it.

Actually... ALL of that is wrong based on the school email now being moved to outlook. USE THIS INFORMATION!
Considering that I am too a ITT Student, and figured this out before I forgot how to find it on the main Live.com site, and where you log-in, it moves to outlook online GAH. It's difficult to find the IMAP/POP information now from them, so I simply post it for everyone anymore.
SERVER INFORMATION:
Type: Pop3
Incoming: pod51011.outlook.com SSL, 995
Outgoing: SMTP: pod51011.outlook.com REQUIRES AUTHENTICATION, 587, TLS <--- REMEMBER THIS. SSL won't work.
LOGON INFORMATION:
Your email: name@email.itt-tech.edu

I use this email in Microsoft Outlook, when they tell me it doesn't work with the program. Yay hackers!
