kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

I recently purchased an Xperia E1, which works very well. However, I am finding it impossible to install an operational email account. I tried Hotmail, & went through the guided process a few times, but it repeatedly insisted that my password, email address or client was incorrect, even though I know that I entered the correct details. I gave up on that after several failed attempts. I then tried Yahoo, & that actually installed, & emails were delivered to the inbox. However, when I wrote an email to a friend, to test it out, & I hit the "send" key, I received an immediate notification "Message not sent", with no explanation why. I tried a few times, with the same result, & the messages were just put into my outbox. This is very frustrating, & if anyone has any idea why this is happening, or how it can be resolved, it would be much appreciated

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

For Hotmail, i would use Exchange ActiveSync. Go to Settings -> Add account -> Exchange ActiveSync and enter your email address and password. Then tap Manual setup and use these settings:

Domain\Username: \your email address

Password: your password

Server: m.hotmail.com

Use secure connection (SSL): enabled

Port:443

For Yahoo i recommend that you check that the settings for outgoing email is set to port 465 and that TLS/SSL is enabled.

Another solution is to use the app from these providers instead:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.outlook.Z7
