I am really sick of the SMTP issues on three (3) as I find that on many
occasions I cannot send my email. Faced with a phone that wont do secure
SSL smtp, I am faced with a problem. Do I dump three, and move to a
different provider, of does anyone know of another smtp server I could use
for sending email. I am about to jump ship from three due to these issues
which three seem to not give a toss about.

Any ideas anyone? Thanks

You don't actually need SSL...how about using port 587 and authentication?

That's what I use.

But which smtp server do you use? Can you recommend?

I cannot believe that something so simple as email could be so difficult to
get going on a mobile phone.

And just to cause problems, three cannot offer a working smtp server for its
customers.

My own. But that's not a vital requirement.

Well I cant use a demon smtp server, or a talktalk one. Because they dont
allow you to send via another service provider.
I am trying to get this working on a Skype phone S2. It wont let me set up
SSL, nor does it offer authentication (as far as I can see)

Thanks
