You may be able to try imap.bellaliant.net as the server address, and the same username/password you use for webmail.

Disclaimer: I don't use bellaliant.net email and don't even remember my username/password.

they have imap.bellaliant.net but it doesn't work with outgoing lol, I had to use Gmail's outgoing server and it works just fine.

 

does smtp.bellaliant.net work for outgoing?

 

Nope none of it works.

This is from the Eastlink site:

If you are using an Eastlink-provided email addresses, but currently connecting with a mobile device to a different Internet service provider, you will need to configure the mail server settings of your mobile device using StartTLS or SSL encryption.

So this is what bell Aliant needs. And because the email resides with Aliant and the TLS allows mobile phones to get email regardless of internet provider and that the two don't work together means, it will never get done!

 

found this on bellaliant.net

Outside Bell Aliant Network (on another Internet connection including Bell Mobility's 3G/4G Network)

Incoming Mail Server :

pop.bellaliant.net
Outgoing Mail Server - Bell Mobility:

mail.1xbell.ca

 

That server works fine on my wifes HTC but it doesn't work on my S3. I can receive but cannot send. Its with Level 2 now. But that server also requires turning off wifi, which I want to avoid doing, so Bell Aliant needs to add TLS support to their exchange server, its easy to do but getting someone to do it is not.

 

Those servers aren't Exchange. I believe it's an old email platform that may not even have support for TLS or SSL.

 

I couldn't get an answer from calling support, but I did get support on the Facebook page surprisingly enough and this is their response sounds like SSL TLS in the new year maybe:

I setup my Aliant email on my Nexus 7, using the standard Pop3 and SMTP servers for NB and it is working fine, though I had to use an alternate port for SMTP.
Not sure if similar settings would work for NS or not.
