Anyone had any luck setting up their Charter email on a Droid? I can get the incoming server to work but it will not take the outgoing server. I get an error message "You must connect from Charter IP space". Calling Charter was no help. I know with Outlook for the outgoing server settings I have to use what ever IP I am connecting to. So what do I need to use for Verizon?

Thanks for you help.

I googled my question and found this answer for a Pre. I tried it on the Droid and it worked. Anyone see a problem with the method listed below?

"IGNORE what Charter said the address is for Incoming and Outbound. pop.charter.net and smtp.charter.net will ONLY allow you to RECEIVE, when you try to compose, reply, reply all, forward, you will get a error, and it will NOT go out.


the correct settings should be


Mail Type: POP

Incoming Mail Server: mail.charterinternet.com

Username: myusername@charter.net (first part of your email address DO NOT omit the @charter.net)

Password: whatever the password is to access the charter email account

Port: 110

Encryption: None


Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.charterinternet.com

Authentication: ON

Username: myusername@charter.net (first part of your email address DO NOT omit the @charter.net)

Password: whatever the password is to access the charter email account

Port: 25

Encryption: none"

Thanks for this. I am going to try it.

I can't seem to get my work mail via IMAP. This is another thing I *must* get fixed or else I will have to turn my Droid back in


**** Edit, is IMAP settings different than pop?

Yes, Imap settings are different from POP. POP is port 110, and Imap uses port 143

Here is the link on Charter's web site for more specific settings.

I tried Charter's mobile settings and could not get it to work. I called Charter and they were no help.

Thanks

Sorry that didn't work. I may not get the droid, just skip to the Omnia 2

When is the Omnia 2 coming out?

I waited six months for it. Kept hearing it was coming in summer, then early fall, then November... nothing.

I was saving my new every 2 for that.

My Source says December 2. I believe it will have winmo 6.5 but not 100% sure on that.

This worked flawlessly for me ....Thank you....This problem was almost a deal breaker and would have got the phone returned if I hadn't got it to acknowledge Charter.net email accounts....

Wow! Thanks so much! I struggled with this issue and this fixed it on the two accounts I added. Now, do you have a fix for the address book last name/first name or first name/last name display? The first set-up is what I have on my gmail account, but I get both types on the droid and it doesn't seem fixable.

Verizon imported my contacts from my old phone and were sorted by first name instead of last name. I found it was much easier to fix by logging into my gmail account instead of fixing it on the phone.

Beetle,

I'm not sure I understand.... Did you get it to sort by last name, first name?

I got it to sort by last name after I edited them in gmail.

can you explain what you did more specifically? I thought the droid was sorting everything by first name. But I'd love last name.

I used the following and it worked fine. Good luck.

I have Droid phone, Charter email and Verizon.

I logged into my gmail account on my PC. Then I clicked contacts on the left and then edited each one. The way I got it to look right in the top block I put the last name, first name. For example, Doe, John and Jane. They may be a better way but this worked for me.

Ugh. Time consuming, but if its the best/only way, I think I need to do it, too.
