You can use pop.sprintpcs.com and smtp.sprintpcs.com as setup in Outlook.

FYI, you can navigate to SprintPCS eMail by putting pop.sprintpcs.com in your browser address.

You can use this to view mail via Outlook & Outlook Express, however you can't send via Outlook. *err* "Relay not allowed." or something like that.

I do it all the time.. In the account setting under OE, select "My Server Requires Authentication" under Outgoing Mail Server. Then click the button that says "settings...". There you'll enter your sprint email name and password, the same as you use for pop3.

Quite a handy tip. Appreciate it.

I can't seem to get this to work. I'm not sure why.

I am using the pop.sprintpcs.com and the smtp.sprintpcs.com for incoming and outcoming servers. I have checked that my server requires authentication, and my user name and password are correct. I am told that the server was found, but the outlook couldn't connect, and that there was no response from the server.

I have a Treo 600, and can get my mail through the sprint biz conn program, and am using Outlook 2002, and am throughoughly confused about why it can't work.

Can anyone help?

account settings for pcsmail

incoming server: pop.sprintpcs.com
outgoing server: smtp.sprintpcs.com
username: your vision username (do not include the @sprintpcs.com)
password: pcsmail password (NOTE: this is not your account, vision, picturemail, vc, vm, password. this is another password. set it at www.sprintpcs.com > online tools > pcsmail > settings and preferences > setup > new password; or call in and tech support will set it for you)

make sure that "outgoing server requires authentication" is checkmarked and that it has the same username and password. there are no SSL or any other settings. these will be the same settings for eudora or any other email client.

This is NOT your vision username! They are different. It is your PCSMail username that you selected when you setup your PCSMail account. I think by default this maybe you phone number.

laura · 06-14-2005, 08:11 AM

Hi Synthe,

Thanks! I can now recieve my SprintPCS mail on my Outlook and my Treo... but I can't send from Outlook. I've check the outgoing server needs authentication, and to use the same settings as my incoming server. Any other suggestions?

Laura.

You must use another ISP with authentication and make sure it is the exact login, password, and correct OUTGOING mail server. It does work as I have done it myself.

...are you sure about that?

If someone has the two set differently, they should have a good reason for doing so (inordinate spam)...

PS - I'm taking synthe's word on this one...
