Android Email Settings

I'm having problems with my Email settings for Runbox on my Android Phone. Incoming works fine but outgoing doesn't work. Says connection error. I have Gingerbread on a Samsung Exhibit II 4G phone. Appreciate if someone can give the full SMTP settings for Samsung Android phones. Thanks.

I'm using K9 mail on a Samsung Galaxy

The following works for me
SMTP server: mail.runbox.com
Port: 587
Require Sign in: Ticked
Authentication type: Automatic

Good luck

So it's mail.runbox.com and not smtp.runbox.com????

What about the Security type? SSL, TLS, accept all certificates etc.?

If you want secure outgoing mail through runbox on an android try

SMTP: secure.runbox.com
Security Type: TLS (always)
PORT: 587
Require Sign In: Ticked
Authentication Type: Automatic

As I mentioned, I'm using the free K9 email client and these setting work just fine. If you're using a different client, like the stock email then your mileage may vary.

It correct setting is never mail.runbox.com, but it might work.

The correct SMTP settings for Runbox are:

Non-secure settings: smtp.runbox.com on port 25, 26 or 587
Secure settings: secure.runbox.com with TLS on port 587 and SSL on port 465.
