Outlook not sending emails PAYG Mobile Broadband

[webtechs]

Since moving from pay monthly (no issues) to PAYG for my dongle I have the problem that very often my emails will not send. It's not consistent and sometimes everything is fine, but recently the problem has been getting worse. I can send emails fine when connected to my home network, it's just the dongle that appears to be the issue.

Anyone have any ideas?

I have read a few posts saying I should register for a 360 email address(?) , but to be honest I shouldn't have to do that I just want what I have to work consistently and correctly. I don't want to register for something I do not want in order to get something that should work (and does work sometimes) to operate properly.

If anyone can help I would be grateful as I would like to avoid swapping providers because otherwise the Voda connection is OK.

Thanks.

I agree - I can't believe that changing the SMTP server would make a difference in terms of consistency if it *sometimes* works using the dongle, especially if it worked with the post-pay dongle.

However, unless you can find any log files to indicate what is going on, I would probably take a guess at SMTP authentication problems.

You do not say which SMTP server you are using currently - does it relate to your home network provider? In any case, are you set up to authenticate to your SMTP server when you connect to it? If not, I would try this - authenticating using your incoming mail server details.
