Try the anytimenow website for the IP addresses. In mailbox try putting the whole email address like you had first. You can have issues sending mail unless you get the outgoing server IP address of your WAP SP.

This is a quote from mms:

From what I know: sending email is a problem because of the following situation:

In the early days we all dialed-in using a fixed modem to a dedicated phonenumber, owned by the ISP (in this case: Yahoo). Since the ISP knows that it is only their customers that are dialling in, they did not do a username/password check on their smtp (=outgoing) mailservers. The only thing they did was a check on their incoming or pop3- emailservers. So if you first check your mail on the pop3-server (WITH username/password) and then send some email via the smtp-server (WITHOUT username/password), it was accepted on the smtp. This trick is called "pop before smtp" and was enough secure because you are dialling in on their own phonenumber.

But in the GPRS world, you are coming from a totally strange network, so the ISP's want to be double safe that it is really you. Therefore most ISP's support only "authenticated smtp" when coming from a GPRS network, which means that you have to logon to their smtp-server WITH your username and password. This is supported on most PC's with Outlook/Outlook Express (make sure you enable the button "authenticated SMTP". So, no problems when using a PC and a gprs-modem.

But with the T68, problems start to arise: this phone does not support authenticated SMTP ... (at least, not in the old sw-versions).

The only alternative for sending email in the GPRS-world with a T68 is to use an ISP that does the good old "pop before smtp" trick. One example of such an ISP is GMX (www.gmx.net) which I frequently use to send out mails on my T68.

End quote.

Apart from that, I don't know what else to suggest, sorry.

Open MSDOS prompt windows. At command prompt type : ping xxx.xxx then enter., which xxx means your pop or smtp server name. You will see the IP number then. Do this at online connected. Hope this help. This post was posted from a Nokia
