Moto Q Global (Q9h) and sbcglobal/att email accounts

[LuvrGirl]

Can anyone help me out with the email settings on my Q Global.

I have an email account, xxxx@sbcglobal.net, that I'm trying to setup.

When I setup my sbcglobal.net email using the automatic settings my Q found, it sets it up as follows:

incoming: imap.mail.yahoo.com
outgoing: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
outgoing auth: yes
use same name as incoming: yes
it shows up as an IMAP4 account

But my Outlook 2003 has the following email settings:

incoming: pop.att.yahoo.com
outgoing: smtp.att.yahoo.com
outgoing auth: yes
use same name a sincoming: yes
SSL yes
incoming pop port 995
outgoing smtp port 465

My email works fine on my Q... but should I manually change the settings on my Q to match my Outlook settings? Why did the Q automatically find those settings instead of the POP3 settings?

Any advise?

Thanks!

if it ain't broke, don't fix it...

secondly the server probably detected a mobile device and therefor used different (designed for mobile) settings..

makes sense...

would I have any problems because it shows up as IMAP4 on my Q and POP3 on my Outlook?

no that should not cause an issue... i use Outlook (pop3) to fetch my work e-mail, and that same mail also comes to the Q via imap. the only "issue" which does not bother me is that the mail on the Q not always comes in as new and thus does not give me a notification about new mail..

Sorry to dig up an old topic, but this seems relevant again after the email I received from ATT/Yahoo today:

"We noticed that you are accessing email using non-secure settings in your email software.... In order to meet this need, please enable SSL... Remember, you need to make these changes if you want to continue to send/receive email using a mail client."

On my Q9H, I've been using the following settings without problems:

incoming: pop.att.yahoo.com
outgoing: cwmx.com
outgoing auth: yes
use same name as incoming: yes
SSL: No and No

Clearly the problem is that I have not enabled SSL here. However, when I change the settings to SSL enabled (for both incoming and outgoing), the phone says a SSL connection to the server cannot be established. This holds true whether I keep the Outgoing server at cwmx.com, or change it to smtp.att.yahoo.com.

Anybody successfully using SSL on their Q9H for an ATT email account? Thanks!
