Hi Linda,
The smtp port 465 information came directly off the google mail
site, as gmail is the host mail server for clearwire customers. I
have no idea if your smtp port number 587 would work with gmail
but port 465 does work on my computer and my Voice Note with my
clearwire.net address on the gmail server. It just refuses to
work on the Braille Plus for some unknown reason. In addition,
gmail says to use pop port 995 and that also works fine. I am not
sure what industry standards they talk about because it seems
that many providers offer different pop and smtp ports as a part
of their email setup faq. I would recommend using the ones your
provider suggests, as long as you can make them work.

Hi. Not sure which internet provider you have, but port 25 is
more prone to
carry viruses, not that something like that should affect the
Braille Plus
as it works through Lennex ... sorry I don't know how to spell
the program.
Anyway, I'm on Comcast, and they required me to reset my incoming
e-mail
port on both my computer and Braille Plus to 110 and my outgoing
e-mail port
to 587, which they claim is the industry standard. Hope this
helps.

Hello Crystal,
You did not mention which smtp port you are using. The reason I
mention this is because I have found Clearwire sort of strange
with the Braille Plus. On my Voice Note I use smtp port 465 and
have no problem sending mail but on my Braille Plus I have to
use
smtp port 25. This was true before the new WiMax antenna modem
transition and is still true for me. If you were able to use
port
465 before the transition, you might try changing it to 25 and
see if this cures your send problem. If you continue to have
problems with the new Clear WiMax setup, contact me off list so
we can compare settings to see if anything else comes to mind.
