Hi Kevin I do know that when you set up your Email account using your own ISP on Vodafone, you have to type send.vodafone.net for the outgoing detail instead of your usual smtp.servername.whatever. It might be worth your while checking that you have the relevant settings in your phone from Vodafone so that you can use the correct access point. You can download them from www.vodafone.co.uk or ring Customer Services on 191 from your mobile and request they be sent. Once they are, you simply save them and ensure the correct access point is selected. I hope that helps a bit.
