K-9 Mail Problems

[keithyboy]

I'm having some difficulties setting up k-9 mail.

For incoming mail it's fine but I can't get my outgoing mail working. I've tried doing it automatically with it finding the settings itself and copying the details across from the android mail thing and neither works.

Any ideas?

What mail provider are you trying to connect with?

Outgoing is usually smtp.(mail provider name i.e Comcast).net (or .com)

Depending on the mail provider you may have to manually change the port number.

Are you accessing this email via a PC? If so then try comparing email setting to your phone's setting.

I don't need know what happened, but now when ever i click on an email in one of my folders, it opens in compose mode instead of read mode.

I can't find any settings that addresses this issue. How do i disable this?

Manually changing the port number to what Virgin said it should be did the trick and I've now got incoming and outgoing.

Cheers.
