    i'm having the same problem-gets stuck checking smtp server. grrr. i have security cameras which take motion image shots and sends them to my pop account. gmail won't show them because they are embedded. how friggin lame. i'm gonna go to my tmobile and mess with the settings there. not sure what else to do. this friggin sucks. i'm ready to throw this phone out the window. everyone rags on winmo,but in all honesy, i never had this many problems even when it first came out. i know android is new, but, it seems not ready for market in so many areas.

    POP3/IMAP email client issue is one of the most talked about problem over in the T-mobile Forums. There's huge sticky thread with some 25 and counting pages with people having the dreaded "connection error" issue with POP3/IMAP. I'm still having problem, albeit the "connection error" is less frequent now, my problem used to be over 90%, now I'm looking at about 10-20% upon hitting the refresh button to retrieve or send email.

    One user posted in this thread solved this problem by doing the following:

    POP3 Mail Client is not reliable - Inbox States Connection Error 95% of the time

    I responded on another thread but since your the moderator. My wife and I both have a G1 for our business and use Godaddy for our email hosting but it's still POP. I changed the settings in the "INCOMING" email setting from NONE to SSL and it seems to be much more reliable. I left the "OUTGOING" settings as NONE.

    I had the same problem today. While trying to set up POP3 email for the first time the Email app kept choking at the outgoing settings setup dialog, requiring a force close. Email suggests port 110 for incoming and port 25 for outgoing. I finally got POP3 access to my work email by downloading the app K9 from the market AND setting both ports to 110 using TLS, not requiring sign-in for outgoing mail.

    I've never been able to get POP email to work properly. Not since I got the phone in October.

    I've had *much* more success getting IMAP to work on the G1 connecting to the IMAP server running on my home PC under Ubuntu.

    Since I fetch all email to my home machine anyway, I was happy to get that working on my G1. It works exactly as it should....and the way the POP client should have out-of-the box. Not sure what the problem is there. Hoping a future update addresses the issue.

    I've setup 4 different emails Yahoo, Yahoo UK, AOL etc and worked fine except when I read them it's still showing unread when I go back, very annoying! And can't select multiple email to delete to or to set as read!

    Try and use IMAP setting. My work email was setup using POP3 but I had to use IMAP and also check the SSL setting.
