Help required: 'server cannot be found'.

Posted by Rafah Kid
What I actually want to do is send email via my pop3 settings over a GPRS data connection. I have a working GPRS data connection for WAP but if I add a pop3 account and use the GPRS data connection then I get 'server cannot be found'.

If I setup a manual dial up with the same service provider (BT) and use a BT GSM connection I get the same problem 'server cannot be found'.

I have tried using a number of different pop3 accounts with the GPRS connection (that I know works for wap) and they all fail with that same error message.

I have added in an o2 DNS server and tried changing the smtp and pop servers to IP addresses rather than DNS names. Same error.

I have tried using the SE WAP configurators to send settings and they fail with the same error message.

I have validated the pop3 settings via a webmail client but I absolutely know them by heart.

What I want to do is a add a known POP3 account and run it over GPRS using smtp.02.co.uk as the SMTP server but I would settle for it working over GSM as a start.

Please can anyone give me any suggestions as I have battled this for three days.
