Problems sending email via a GPRS connection on Pocket PC 2003
 

Hope someone can help here. I have an HP iPaq model h5550 which runs Pocket PC 2003. I have a nokia 6310i connected to vodafone and GPRS is activated on their network. I have set up the Ipaq to connect via GPRS (using a bluetooth link to the phone).

Connecting to the internet is no problem, I can access sites quite comfortably. However, sending email is a problem. Whenever I try to send email using the GPRS connection I get an error message saying that the message has not been sent and has been transferred to the Drafts folder because "The following recipients are invalid:" The thing is, I know that the addresses are valid, I have checked them - I have tried several addresses, same result. If the address used is one stored in my contacts list, the process of "sending" the message sometimes seems to result in a rougue comma being inserted at the end of the address (after the "Send" button is tapped) or the ">" at the end of the internet address being deleted.

I also have a normal (non-GPRS) connection setup and the email works fine with this.

This is driving me nuts, does anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

It sounds like you're using the SMTP server of a different ISP than the one you're using for the actual GPRS connection. If so, try using the SMTP server of the ISP you are using for the GPRS connection.

Sorted!!
 

Voidhawk,

You are a genius, thanks for that. It now works fine :ok:

Now, if only I could get that level of service from Vodafone's customer services :(
