BTW - are you troops familiar with the iPad?

I said "your ISP" because it's irrelevant which ISP you're using. Try what I said, guarantee it'll sort your problem.

When you connect to 3G, do they provide you a smtp address?

Thanks

I am thinking that when you are outside with WIFI or Telecom/2D/Voda 3G you cannot pop or smtp your email is because many ISPs restrict it. If you are not currently log onto Ihug (in this case), Ihug won't let you use their smtp or pop servers. A few ISPs don't this limitation but not sure who. Some ISPs you can pay like a $5/month convenient fee and they let you access it. I know Telstra/Clear provide that. Or else like Chill says get a Gmail or such account which they allow smtp/popping.

Not really.
You can pop your mail from any ISP or internet connection regardless where you are, even if you are out of the country.
You can send mail from any internet connection provided you setup SMTP SSL on your mail client and your ISP provides this and most do.
What then happens if you are connected to a wifi network is your ISP authenticates you with your ISP username and password and then allows you to send through their outgoing server even if you are connected to say a UK ISP or wifi connection.

This is the reason for SSL settings in mail clients so that customers can continue to send through their own SMTP server and continue to use ther own mail program without having to use webmail or worse Gmail.

1247816 2011-12-09 02:51:00 Not quite. You can do it without SSL on some ISP's, just as many as require SSL. However, the key point is that you're trying to send email using your ISP while you're connected to the internet from another service provider. That's what the majority of ISPs aren't happy about. It's basically just easier to say "Nup, we're not gonna allow it".

I know that the likes of Telecom charge a $4 a month convenience fee for them to enable this capability on your account.

1247817 2011-12-09 19:57:00 Yes but rather than use another E-mail account I was meaning to use your ISP's wemail in a browser instead. If Ihug = vodafone then webmail.vodafone.co.nz should do the trick. Just use that webpage. dugimodo (138)
