Hi all (USA users in particular),
I had been using my Verizon e-mail account to send mail (and pictures from the new MCA-20 communicam), from the T68i's built in E-mail client. The reason I specifically used (and only could use) Verizon, was, their SMTP server did not block the sending port(25) for off network sending (i.e., I could send mail through VoiceStream WAP/GPRS using the outside Verizon SMTP server). Now, Verizon has shut that abaility down. I now cannot send e-mail using any of my POP accounts (Earthlink, Verizon, Bellsouth, even hotmail blocks the feature)
I went to Europe, to eagerly try to take pictures with my new Communicam, to e-mail attachments to my loved ones. I had to sit down in an Internet cafe, to try to find a free SMTP server that allows sending outside of their own networks. After some 2 hours research, I found 2 that worked. One, called "hotpop", which was unreliable, and the other, was lycos.co.uk (not even US Lycos mail allows this), which worked well.
For the moment, I can use lycos.co.uk, until they disallow off network SMTP sending.
I want to know, who on this board sends e-mail through the T68 e-mail client, and which SMTP server do you use?
I am also told that VoiceStream is working on their own POP server for phones with built in clients. But, that is probably not imminent.
Thanks,
Jeff

OK, but that is the E-mail client from the GSM providers' network you are on?
VoiceStream in the USA does not (yet) provide direct POP3/SMTP mail sending, this is the problem. They only provide e-mail thorugh their istram website, to receive POP3 mails.

Thanks for that info. I think anytimenow does not offer a smtp server. And vizzavi is only good for Vodafone users, no?
I found 2 other reliable servers for sending mail from the T68i.
One is www.myrealbox.com. Works very well, either with GPRS, or CSD, and thorugh any portal. I tried it thru VoiceStream WAP and GPRS, Ericsson WAP in the UK dial up, and WapHQ dial up in the UK.
Another is www.pobox.com. I signed up, and it pings well, but I haven't set it up on the phone yet. Pobox also has the ability to send on port 26, so if your carrier blocks port 25, this is a workaround.
The two above also offer mail forwarding, so even if you send thru them, the response can be forwarded where you wish.
Also, I think yahoo mail WILL work as an smtp mail server, but only if you sign up for the $29.99 a year version. For now, I will wait, to see if these others stay.

Jeff,
How did you set up you t68i with real box. I am getting a server not found error when I set it up with their parameters. can you give me the way you did it step by step.
thanks

Hi Harley,
I am not able to tell you this second, but when you entered the SMTP and POP3 servers, did you use numbers instead of names? You need to go to a DOS box, and ping the server names, and use the responded numbers. Otherwise, I will supply you with this later today.

I think what Jeff means is to go to a workstation (DOS/Windows or Mac) and 'ping' the server, i.e.:
C:\>ping hostname
where 'hostname' is the server you're looking for. that will give you a numeric internet address: 148.13.63.224 for example.
Hope that helps!
Jeff, I'm interested in getting this to work with myrealbox.com too!

Jeff is right,
I didn't realize there can be a problem with using not open relay SMTP servers when you're abroad. So maybe following list will help you:

I used hotpop constantly which worked perfectly fine, but then I switched to Cingular (big mistake, but I wanted there cheap GPRS), and I can’t even use e-mail on the phone!

Hotpop doesn't like attachments, though. I can send mail, but when I attach a picture from the Communicam, it craps out.

Harley,
I had been using myrealbox for quite some time now.
It's been quite reliable.
POP server is 192.108.102.201
POP port is 110
SMTP servier is 192.108.102.204
SMTP port is 25
Once you sign up at their website, it should work over CSD on VoiceStream.
