Hey Dallas - don't know if this will help, but you can try it! I was having a similar problem - using the stock email app, outgoing email was always getting stuck. I found that sometimes it would work - but ONLY if I was on my home wifi (it was a roadrunner account). So I did a little digging around, and found that other people were having this issue with various smtp outgoing accounts. So I tried using the sprint smtp server (what, you say? There's a sprint smtp server we can use? Well... I didn't know about it till yesterday...). So I logged into my sprint account, and went into "my preferences", and found my sprint email username and password (I had to set up the password). I then deleted my email account from the phone, and restored it - but this time I used my normal (roadrunner) pop server for incoming, and the sprint server for outgoing. Here are the settings I used for the sprint server:
server name: smtp.sprintpcs.com
port: 25
auth: none
sign in required: yes
user name:
yourusername@sprintpcs.com
password: yourpassword
So... we'll see if it keeps working, but I've verified that I can now send email on 3g, 4g or wifi... a huge improvement from before!
I'm still at android 2.1... heh... the update will probably get pushed to my phone and this will stop working again... well apparently I have more time to wait for that! ;-)
