Motorola Droid X SMTP Setup for Sending Emails

Motorola Droid X devices require that an SMTP username and SMTP password is used when sending emails. This appears to be a change from the previous Droid’s software.

To setup email on a Droid X, you need an SMTP server that can accept an SMTP username/password. The setup instructions below show how to use SMTP2GO, which has a free SMTP server that can be used.

1. If you haven’t already, get a free SMTP2GO account
2. Select Outgoing Server
3. Enter SMTP server: mail.smtp2go.com
4. Deactivate check on both Use Secure connection and Verify Certificate
5. Enter Port: 2525
6. Enter your SMTP2GO SMTP username into Username
7. Enter your SMTP2GO SMTP password into Password
8. Tap on OK

Please note: if you are still unable to send, please try using SMTP port 25, 8025, 587 or 80.
