The answer is not to use a provider's e-mail server and use a third partye-mail provider like I do.----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Threadgold To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, February 01, 2010 2:38 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: strange sending e-mail problem. Most service providers will only allow you to use their outgoing email smtp server if you are connected via their connection. To be able to send email you will need to go to the website and do it through the online interface. They do this to close the loopholes that would allow anyone to send email iin any name they want to through any server they want to thus stoppping spam and illegal use of machines without the owners knowledge. To send email from my ntl address using my phone i have to use the tmobile outgoing email server on a data connection but can receive through the normal pop3 setup. This is not using a wifi connection though, so I have the same problem as yourself when out with the laptop. hth Mark Threadgold Of all the things I have ever lost, The one I miss most is my mind... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of goshawk on horseback Sent: 01 February 2010 14:28 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; bcab@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; VICUG-L@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] strange sending e-mail problem. hello list, have quite recently got my e-mail to work on my mobile phone, but am having a rather strange, and extremely annoying problem. I can receive e-mails perfectly, no matter what access point I am using, but if I try to send any, and use any of the access points I would use whilst out or away from home, ntl's out going e-mail server won't have it, but if I use my own wireless access point, which is connected to my ntl internet, the e-mails go with no problems at all. at first, I thought it was something to do with the phone, but I had exactly the same problem with my laptop, when I took it somewhere else, so was on a different connection, rather than my direct ntl one, from which, just like with the phone, I can send e-mails with the laptop with no problems. yet again, when the laptop was working with a different connection, I could receive my e-mail with no problem, but couldn't send any at all. this suggest to me, that it is an issue with the actual ntl server, rather than with my phone and laptop. has anyone else had the same, or any similar problems, and, the $64000 question, has anyone found a way round this problem?
