| + | ===== Configure K-9 mail for Cox pop mail ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | These are the steps I had to use to configure K-9 mail for my Droid Razr (Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich) | ||
| + | |||
| + | - From the Home screen, tap the K-9 Mail button. | ||
| + | * If you have not previously created this account, tap the Menu button and select Add Account. | ||
| + | * If you have setup this account previously on your phone, tap it, press the Menu button, then More, Settings and finally Account Settings | ||
| + | * Enter your full Cox.net email Address and Password and tap Manual Setup. | ||
| + | - From the Setup menu, tap Fetching Mail, and at the bottom tap Incoming Server | ||
| + | - Enter the following Incoming Mail Server information in the spaces provided: | ||
| + | * Username - Enter your email username (do not enter "@cox.net") | ||
| + | * Password - Enter your email account password. | ||
| + | * POP server - Enter pop.east.cox.net (on the West coast, you may have to enter pop.west.cox.net) | ||
| + | * Security: SSL (Always) | ||
| + | * Authentication: PLAIN | ||
| + | * Port - Enter 995 | ||
| + | - Tap Next. If the screen returns to the Fetching Mail menu, the incoming server settings were correct. | ||
| + | - Click the Back key and tap Sending Mail. | ||
| + | - Scroll to the bottom and tap Outgoing Server | ||
| + | - Enter the following Outgoing Mail Server information in the spaces provided. | ||
| + | * SMTP server - Enter smtp.east.cox.net (on the West coast, you may have to enter smtp.west.cox.net) | ||
| + | * Security: SSL (Always) | ||
| + | * Port: 465 | ||
| + | * Require sign-in: checked | ||
| + | * Authentication: AUTOMATIC | ||
| + | * Username: your Cox mail user name (without "@cox.net") | ||
| + | * Password: your Cox password | ||
| + | - Tap Next. If you are returned to the Sending Mail menu, the configuration was good. | ||
| + | - Tap the Back button until you are returned to the Account page. | ||
| + | - Notes: | ||
| + | * depending on where you are, you may have to turn WiFi off. Some ISPs block pop mail to servers outside the ISP's domain and I have not found a way around that. | ||
| + | * The resulting problem is that it appears to me that fetching mail over 3G or 4G uses much more battery than WiFi. 3G is definitely better than 4G from a battery life standpoint. | ||
