Emails not being sent by 3g dongle.

[pmac]

Hi there, I have a vodafone dongle on PAYG. It connects to the net fine, I can surf the net, and recieve emails, no problem at all, but it wiil not send emails, it shows them as sent in outlook (vista) , but no one is recieving them. I set my outgoing server to send.vodafone.net, which worked fine for a couple of months, but in the last few weeks, nobody is recieving the emails I am sending, yet when I connect at home on my home broadband it all works fine, and everybody recieves the emails I send from that. I have checked my security settings, which I don't think is causing a problem.
Please help me as I am having to send all my emails from my Blackberry at the moment wich is a nightmare!
It has a couple of times shown an error code 'RAS 633', but when this happens it won't connect to the net or anything.
Thanks pmac.

Thanks David - glad it wasn't only me being confused! Can I pick your brains a bit more?

My usual home server is Virgin / ntl. When I'm away and using Vodafone dongle I used to only change Outgoing Mail Server in my Outlook Express from "smtp.ntlworld.com" to "send.vodafone.net". This allowed me to receive e-mails and also send. Back home I would change it back. Do you reckon now that all I now need to do is change outgoing mail server to smtp.360.com ?

I was told to change incoming to imap.360.com but do I need to do this?

Thank for your patience and help David.

Assuming you can get the replies to your emails from virgin/ntl there should be no need to use imap.360.com.
If you have registered a 360.com email address and are sending as from that address the replies to your emails will
go to 360.com so in that case you would need to pick up mail from imap.360.com.

On the few occasions I tried 360.com I'm sending emails as from my own domain rather than a 360.com address
so all replies are sent to my normal email address.
