manage everything with my iphone except sending emails(unless its hooked upto the computer)

do i need a wireless connection to send/receive? or are the settings wrong? it just comes up with a message saying that the address is wrong or the server doesnt recognise someat….off on me hols soon and wouldnt mind to get it to work

any ideas? feeling less than geeky…

Mine will recieve, but doesn't send till I get connected to a wireless connection.

Suspect it's something I've done too!

yep get all the mail thru but only sends when i walk into work(dont know if connecting it to the computer or the wireless) it then sends any messages ive written…..

It should send without wireless I would have thought.

No wireless connection needed here. It sends and recieves without problems. Have you set it to "Push" your mail?

It depends who your provider is. When I used my tesco account I could recieve but not send. Its because they dont have a SMTP (or something like that) server. I swapped to Ymail and it works fine now.

Mine works fine. Is it set up right?

My 3g works for both hotmail and yahoo with just GPRS active. Sometimes takes a day or so for messages to show on the phone. My blackberry was much better for receiving mail as it checked every six minutes. Try a different mail provider .

You need to have SMTP authentication setup on the outgoing mail server for the phone to send correctly while using GPRS or 3G.

you need the o2 smtp server if you are on o2 – i.e. non jailbreaked! That way it will send on 3G. See pictures below:

you need your login name and password for you o2 mail to get it to work (online o2 mail)
