This could also be an authentication problem. I have an old email address I can still access from outside that ISP's network using port 587 plus SMTP Authentication.

I have set the incoming server for my POP3 account and can recieve emails ok however I cant seem to find an outgoing server that will work and therefore cant send emails.

Has anyone else had this problem and/or can suggest whgat to do? I have spoken to onetel, Vfe and the handset manufacture and no one seems to know what to do.

TIA
