I use wireless at home, wireless at work, and gprs otherwise. These obviously use separate smtp servers to send mail. How can I set this up???

You can set the outgoing smtp mail server on each account. Just set up multiple accounts.
yeuch! I see microsoft thought long and hard about that one

How else do you imagine your email is going to be sent using another account? That isn't the fault of your device, it is the way SMTP works. Most smart companies have Relay turned off on their servers anyway. Yes they could set it up to allow Relay on authentication, but from a useability standpoint I believe that setting a specific SMTP server per account is the smart way to go.
well, I'm not sure about SMTP in other places, but in NL it's often a case of whether your ISP-assigned IP address belongs to the same company running the SMTP.
E.g. when I'm up north in the country, I'm using wifi on an @home network, and need to set my smtp to mail dot home dot nl . But when I'm back at home, I'm going through Casema, and need to set smtp to smtp dot casema dot nl.
I *could* set up two accounts, but then all my e-mail is separate as well. Instead, I just change that little variable, and I'm all set for the duration of my stay at either location.
LOL! I have the same issue! I want to manage mutiple SMTP servers but the only way appears to be manualy changing the setting.
Surley somebody could write a small app with perhaps common SMTP servers and the ablility to add your own server settings and then poke it into the smtp setting?
I'm not a programmer but I don't think it''l be that difficult? All you would need is a selection screen od smtp servers and then get the app to change the setting???
Any programmers up for that challenge? :shock:
multiple smtp servers - solution
Hi Guys
The only thing I see for this problem is to use server which does not check where are you connecting from. Something like www.inmail.sk
In this case I use for all my account different pop3 receive server, but all have the same smtp (smtp.inmail.sk). Just every account using they own email address. This way the emails will be send as they would be from different accounts.
Of cause you have to get one inmail account. Which is free anyway.

The better solution is to find out if one of your email providers supports smtp authentication.
As someone mentioned earlier most providers block "relaying" -- sending email while connected to a network other than their own -- so people can't use their server for spam.
Luckily, some of the smarter email providers also provide a solution to this problem -- authentication, which just means to provide your username and password. Then you can use their server no matter what network you happen to be attached to whether it's gprs, wifi, or whatever.
You can find out whether your smtp server supports authentication by telnetting to it from your desktop computer.
At a command prompt type
telnet yoursmtpserverhere 25
then type
ehlo yoursmtpserverhere
If it returns something like AUTHENTICATION or AUTH PLAIN TEXT, you're golden.
Use that server for all of your email accounts and enable authentication in each account by going to the last email account set up screen and clicking Options. On the second Option screen, check the box "Server requires authentication".
Then click on Use Seperate Settings and enter the username and password for the email account of the smtp server you're using.
Now you'll be able to send email no matter what network you are connected to.

I have had no trouble sending and receiving e-mail when I am connected to the servers of my ISP. That is, dial-in ISP, to which I connect via cell phone, where the pop server and the smtp server belong to the ISP where I also have my e-mail account.
The moment I connect via GPRS, all I can do is download my e-mail. When I try to send, I get all sorts of error messages stating that the servers could not resolve the recipients' names. Is there a way around this? :?: Do I need to specify a proxy. How does anyone else connect via GPS and send e-mail from their regular ISP POP account?
i have the same problem
so far i've used the workaround which is
that my isp (which is not my cellphone gprs isp but my cable isp)
have a www mail gateway so i can use IE to login to that and send my mails that way
Yeah! I do that, but when I reach the web mail page and try to click open an e-mail, nothing happens. So that is a dead end for me! There has to be a way around the SMTP issue. We'll figure it out!
Hi
Are you using the smtp address of your pop3 provider or your gprs provider?
My xda ii is connected via an orange uk sim and i use it to both send and receive email from my o2 and blueyonder accounts. In order to send from these accounts i have to use the smtp address of orange ie smtp.orange.net rather than the smtp addresses of my pop3 providers.
Hope this helps
Chris
Indeed it would help if I only had a means to find out the smtp server for my cell phone service provider. Believe me, I've tried and no one ate Telecom Italia Mobile (TIM) has a clue as to what I am talking about. I tried smtp.tim.br and smtp.tim.com.br but neither worked
Any clues...?
try something like relay.tim.it or they should have some data support.
According to an NSLOOKUP against their domain name, their primary mailserver is smtp1.tim.com.br - try that.
Fork.
Hi everyone!
Fidlling with the smtp settings, I finally found out how to send mail over a GPRS connection using your ISP's pop mail account.
Everyboy, when set up an account, must fill in the pop.ispserver.com and the smtp.ispserver.com. It so happens that using the GPRS smtp (those who have one) or using pop relay, is trcky and does NOT work! The solution is:
1. Goto Inbox
1.1. Select Accounts
2. Select the account you want to edit (presumably the account you been able to download e-mail but didn`t allow you to send e-mail)
3. Enter you POP mail e-mail address (step 1/4)
4. Enter user info (name, user and password) (step 2/4)
5. Enter account info (type is POP3 and name will be grayed) (step 3/4)
6. Server Information (step 4/4) critical step
- fill in your pop account info (pop.ispserver.com)
- fill in your smtp account info (smtp.ispserver.com)
- leave domain blank!
6.1. Click Options and don`t check anything! Goto step 2/3
6.2. Select (checkmark) outgoing e-mail server requires authentication
- Do NOT check Require SSL connection
- Select Only display messages from the last X days, if you want
Click NEXT and you are good to go!!!
It worked fine for me with TIM in Brazil and Cingular in the US! Some POP3 services don`t allow this kind of connection!
I keep getting invalid recipient errors for particular email addresses when sending from my xda Mini S. for example, tonight:
Your message 'RE: Online billing' was not sent and has been moved to the Drafts folder.
The following recipients are invalid:
[email protected]om
I know this address is valid. and if I send through the same account via my Pc. it works fine.
I've had the some issue with a couple of hotmail accounts too.
I'm running the latest 02 ROM. Anyone know how to fix this?
I am having the same issue, have you found a way to resolve this?
Yeah, I've found the answer: put the correct server in as your SMTP.
I am sure my SMTP server is correct, what DMTP did you use, your mobile provides SMTP or a personal one? I run my own mail server, so I know what the pieces should be

Getting the same issue - incoming works fine - outgoing does not work. I have triple checked the settings
SMTP
This problem occurs if your SMTP provider will not accept mail from off their network. In order to keep people from using their SMTP servers to spam anonymously they will only accept emails from a computer that is on their network. If you are using the SMTP of you home ISP then it sees your phone as an intruder and wont send its messages. Also some SMTP servers will accept an email from an off network computer if the recipient is on their network.
You ISP does not want anything to do with an email originating from a cellphone with a recipient on another network.
you may see if you isp will let you send the email if you login to the smtp otherwise you may need to get you cell provider to give you an SMTP
Hi guys,
Im having a frustrating time trying to get my outlook to send email. I can receive just fine.
Just a note, my computer sends/receives fine and i use the same settings on computer and phone. I never user activsync because ive never been able to get the linux version to work for me.
My server requires authentication however i get this error when i try to send: "The message(s) could not be sent. Check that you have network coverage
and that your account information is correct. Then try sending again."
If i uncheck the option for authentication, the email bounces as it should saying relay is not allowed.
Im using the same settings as my computer, but I just dont see whats wrong. Im a linux user and built my webserver so i feel like i should be able to figure this out which leads me to thing outlook sucks lol
Any suggestions to try?
James
In 'Edit Server Settings' where it has your User name, Password, and Domain how do you have that set up? when i first did mine i set it up with all three, but it didn't work, and what worked for me was setting the username to be [email protected] leaving the Domain field blank -- so that is something to look into, and if it is different maybe try setting it up the other way just putting your email as the username and the domain in the domain field.
How do i find 'Edit Server Settings'?
In my inbox, i click the Menu button bottom right, click tools and options. then i click on the email account i created, which sends me through all the email settings in the following order.
Note: i never used Outlook email as it never let me specify pop or imap so i added New Account.
Email address -- [email protected]
Your name - james
Account display name -- greyed out
incoming server name lwp.ca
account type -- greyed out (its set to imap)
username -- [email protected]
password
outgoing smtp server: lwp.ca
requires authentication checked
use same user name and password for sending mails checked
Automatic send/receive -- set to manual
download messages set to from the past 30 days
message format : html
message download limit: headers only
download attachments: do not download
I am having the same problem with Alltel PPC6800 and I found out (by tethering with my PC) that some of their IP addresses are listed with Spamhaus.
If I keep trying it will eventually go through when the IP Address switches to one not listed.
Hope it helps?

Ive never tried tethering.. Ive been using the built in wifi or the data service with no luck.. I think its a crippled outlook issue..
Does anyone have suggestions for a free mail client that uses IMAP? If only thunderbird could be used

sorry when you said you use outlook to send i assumed you were using an exchange server -- since you are using IMAP what i said is irrelevant.
When you are at the point where it asks for the outgoing SMTP server, there is a link to 'Advanced Server Settings' at the bottom of the screen. clicking on that will allow you to require SSL for incoming and outgoing -- that would be my only other guess.
but i do find it strange that your incoming and outgoing mail servers are the same and not IMAP.lwp.com and SMTP.lwp.com or something similar.
i've just bought a htc hero g2 - it was on t-mobile uk and i unlocked it to work on 02 - it works perfectly - i can call , go on the internet get my gmail accounts ok on the phone but whenever i try to set up my pop 3 emails account it gives me a warning message saying it cannot connec to the mail server - now i can connect to them all 100%ok with my outlook programme -
can anyone help setting up pop 3 email account on the htc hero?

You need to list in detail the steps you've already taken as setting up POP email is essentially a trivial exercise and their shouldn't really be an issue in doing so.
One common mistake is to use your ISPs SMTP server for outgoing mail - this generally won't work as typically they are set up not to relay mail from external networks. In this case, you need to use your telecoms providers SMTP server, or a 3rd party open relay.

ok i do this touch mail on main screen
touch pop mail
enter email address and password
hit manual set up and then it gives me pop server
security type and serverport
now i have these as a do in outlook however outlook lets me specify the outgoing mail and incoming mail server as mail.the---------------.co.uk and smtp.the---------------.co.uk
but the phone only allows me to but .the---------------.co.uk
are you saying i shoul put 02.co.uk here instead ?
Once you've set up the POP side of the your connection, you should be prompted to set up the SMTP side of the connection for which you would often use your cellular providers SMTP server (though some ISPs allow authenticated SMTP access from external sources).
What is your mail providers full address as "mail.the---------------.co.uk" doesn't help much to check the settings. You also didn't say what you used for your security type and server port.
Regards,
Dave
thanks dave got it working
i realised that when i entered mail. it then gave me another screen for outgoing and i used smtp and they worked - allset up and raring to go now!
thanks
Hi
Does anybody know the correct SMTP name for Three network as I have tried all combinations under the sun..(smtp-mbb.three.co.uk, smtp.three.co.uk) and they all fail to connect to my NTLWORLD account using the standard HTC Desire email client..
Can receive email but sending on the move fails..
Three customer service dont know and cant be bothered ringing them up again and hanging on for ages warming up my ear
Steve
Found away of doing it thank god.
The ntlworld.com SMTP server is only accessible when you are physically on the NTL/Virgin Media network.
The virginmedia.com SMTP server, however, can be accessed outside the NTL/Virgin Media network.
1. So set up a new virginmedia.com email on the virgin media website
Use this account to authenticate with the virginmedia.com SMTP server, but send the e-mail from your @ntlworld.com address
2. In your GMail accounts and import you would configure 'send mail from another address' and add another email address you own. Here you would add your ntlworld address.
3. In the next page SEND MAIL THROUGH YOUR SMTP SERVERS click 'send through ntlworld servers' and add smtp.virginmedia.com and your full virginmedia email address (eg [email protected]) as a username/password with port 465
4. Put SMTP.VIRGINMEDIA.COM on your phone as a SMTP address but with your full virginmedia email address (eg [email protected])as a username and your password. Use SSL and port 465.
And it works ON BOTH wifi at home and on the move via Three's 3G network and possibly others..
