Trouble setting up email

I am trying to set up my collage email on my computer. I tried both the Mail app and Mozilla ThunderBird, neither worked. I tried POP and IMAP through both, still nothing. It worked on my iphone 3Gs as imap. And I got it to the point of being able to receive but not send through imap with the Mail app, but I already set it up to forward to my .me address, so I do not need to receive. I only need to send. So, that was useless too.

Does anyone have any tricks for me. I got close and my phone flat out worked, so I know it can me done.

The collage email is: account@imail.losrios.edu

 

How do I do that?

This?: incoming server mail: stmp.imail.losrios.edu

yes i have. and they gave me a bull crap, get off out damn phone lines, answer. They didn't actually say that, but they might as well have.

 

I put my code starting with "w" in the username field.

 

Still not working. I sent a couple to test messages and they came back at me as failed. There has to be another way. Because with my phone, when I would send a message it would send fine. There was no receiving first needed. It just sent.

----------

Is there any special authentication or ports I can try?

 

yes, I can receive, but I can't send. That is useless to me though.

 

After sending an angry email to them, they finally gave me a straight answer. They said that they are currently working on converting iMail so they will be going through Gmail. They said it will take some time though. So it looks like they have just given up trying to do it themselves and have abandoned trying to make it work the way everyone wants and are letting Gmail take care of it for them.
