I have successfully got email with my T39, but when i try to send email, it can find the server, but the sending process always failed with a "Send Failed" message. Anyone has successfully send email with T39??

You have to use the smpt server from your WAP/GPRS service provider.
Most of the smtp servers doesn't accept to relay email from other networks, so you have to use their own server or find another "free" server that allow you to relay mails.
Nop...I don't know any free servers.

General tips:
- Ensure that you can do remote SMTP with your ISP, some allow it, many don't to prevent spamming.
- Sometimes an ISP uses an alternate port (other than 25) for SMTP.
- Often authentication is required, sometimes with a POP check before a SMTP send.
- Sometimes you have the use the IP numbers instead of names of your POP and SMTP servers.
On my T39m (VoiceStream is my phone provider), I can do POP and SMTP for one e-mail account (the account allows remote SMTP with an alternate port and authentication), but only POP (no SMTP send) for other e-mail accounts. Everyone's mileage may vary.

Here's some info I found that relates to firmware version.
The following was found at: http://www.slriv.com/t39SMTPPOP3.html
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. As a security measure, some ISPs will only allow you to retrieve (POP3) email from their own dial-ups, not from other Internet connections.
2. As an anti-spam measure, many ISPs will only allow you to send (SMTP) email from their own dial-ups, not from other Internet connections.
3. Older versions of T39 firmware have a bug that prevents sending email unless there is at least one message waiting to be retrieved. If your firmware has this bug, and your mailbox is empty, the workaround is to send yourself a dummy email by SMS (as described below).
4. The phone normally resolves the POP3 and SMTP server names to actual IP (Internet) addresses using DNS server(s) that are usually assigned automatically by the ISP when a GSM data connection is made. If this is failing, you can try actual IP addresses (which look like "nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn" where n's are numeric digits) instead of POP3 and SMTP server names. | |
