Default Trouble connecting an IMAP account

Please Login to Remove!

I am attempting to add an additional IMAP email account to my Z10.

My other IMAP accounts are hosted with other providers (such as GoDaddy) and work perfectly, however there is one in particular (with Zenutech) which is failing to connect to the server. This same email (using the same settings) works perfectly with Outlook on my PC, and even worked fine with my previous BlackBerry, a Bold 9780. This issue is specific to my Z10 with this one email account (which happens to be the only Zenutech IMAP account, so it could be some sort of a Zenutech/Z10 issue?)

Here are the settings I am using:

IMAP:

Server: mail.zenutech.com

Port: 993

SSL enabled

SMTP:

Server: mail.zenutech.com

Port: 465

SSL enabled


I get the error: "The server mail.zenutech.com" for your account is not responding. Please check your settings and try again."

Any ideas?

IMAP is IMAP. Something is wrong with your settings.

"IMAP is IMAP. Something is wrong with your settings."

The settings I am using for this account are identical to those I am using on Outlook on my PC, and identical to the settings I used on my Bold 9780.

I'm here for alternative port number/ server name suggestions I can try- and especially interested to hear from anyone else who has experienced the same problem.

My Z10 seems to have decided it doesn't like my SSL-enabled IMAP account hosted with Zenutech, it could be a very specific issue/ conflict.

Default Re: Trouble connecting an IMAP account

The only IMAP account that I use which possed a problem for the Z10 is one that uses StartTLS instead of SSL (that was correctly set by the Z10), and requires the full email address as the Username (that I had to enter manually).

But I have to do that whenever I set the account up with a new email client.

Have you checked with zenuteck to see if something has changed on their end? Do they have Exchange Active Sync available?

I've emailed them but they are still scratching their heads. Usually they get back to me within 2 hours, but this has already taken 1 business day lol

Here's my error message:



I'm basically having the same problem these guys are having, except mine wasn't fixed by that update and must have a different root cause.

The server mail.zenutech.com doesn't appear to be up. There's no response on any of the common ports.

I can't believe I've had my Z10 over a week now and I still can't get this IMAP account to work. Never had a problem with my Bold 9780 with the same settings.

Wow.

Try to set the connection up without using SSL, just to see if you can make it work that way.

Host: mail.zenutech.com
IMAP Port: 143
SMTP Port: 26
Username: your full email address, example “john@domain.com”

It absolutely is. You are losing time and money trying to get your current server working. You could open a outlook.com account, forward your mail to it, and have your "sent as" be your original address. Done. The other advantage to outlook.com is that it is treated as an Exchange account.

Read this thread:

Z10 encoding issue in outgoing email - Page 5 - BlackBerry Support Community Forums

And especially this:

http://supportforums.blackberry.com/...2231991#M10389

The problem lies with the Z10's software.

Changing provider for an entire site because a small batch of new smart phones cannot connect (due to an OS problem with the new cell phones) is never going to happen. I say it's not a solution, because it's such as BAD solution, that it will not get approval. Changing the phones is quick and easy, changing (and punishing our existing) provider because BlackBerry have a problem with the software "mangling message headers" is bad on multiple levels.

We aren't losing time or money (but thank you for your concern) on this at the moment, however we ARE running out of patience. If BlackBerry don't update the software and make it work with these IMAP accounts (not only Zenutech is affected), then it will be impossible for us to defend keeping our new phones. I'm surprised it is taking this long to fix such a core component of the phone's OS. It's been out since February and it's nearly May now.

Suit yourself. You didn't say this was for more than one person, so I assumed it was just you.

Did you try the work-around proposed on those forums, which is to try to connect without SSL, and what I suggested?

I tried all suggested workarounds- without success.

The problem has now been identified as being with my version of firmware (which is from April).

I am STILL waiting for Rogers to release the update. Other people had it 2 or 3 weeks ago, yet for some reason my carrier has decided to sit on its hands and leave me waiting for an update that will fix a critical problem with my device.

Why do some carriers take SO much longer to release BlackBerry firmware updates than others, and why can't we download the updates from BlackBerry.com and take the slow, lazy carriers out of the equation?

I called Rogers support but got nothing other than total confusion and from Tier 1 and 2 reps (you could almost hear both their braincells rattling around inside their heads if you listened closely enough).

You can download and install one of the leaked 10.1.x.xxx versions.

Because all carriers do not use the same technology and their devices sometimes do not take full advantage of all the features or services. The same reason why we can't just download and install from BlackBerry.com is the carrier still has testing to do.

I wouldn't expect a T1/T2 Rogers Mobility Technician to be able to troubleshoot a device firmware conflict with a mail provider. You said it yourself. A confirmed firmware issue. Did you ask/were offered to be escalated to BB Support?
