Vodacom SMTP for GPRS

[smokalot]

Hi all,

I am trying to send email using my Sony Ericsson K700i cellphone. I have GPRS etc setup and I have even successfully setup incoming mail with my web based account.

I have spoken to Vodacom but their stuff doesn't seem to work.

I have tried:
smtp.vodacom.co.za (can't find server)
smtp.vodamail.co.za (finds server but mail sent error)

I am connecting with my Internet.GPRS account althought I have tried with MMS.GPRS as well.

Is anyone else having problems???

Are you sending the email from and to the phone itself, or are you just using it as a GPRS modem for your laptop or PC?

I'm out of office a lot and bluetooth from my laptop thru to cellphone thru GPRS (MTN). I've had no problems (except for getting the GPRS/bluetooth to work in the first place). If the GPRS connects then I can connect to our mail server.

Vodacom should be able to sms the settings thru to you but one thing I did notice your incoming mail server should be mail.vodawhatever... and your outgoing should be smtp.vodawhatever...

Jup, got the same problem.
Samsung D500.
I got, nice email POP and SMTP settings for my Yahoo Account. I just get 'server error' on my cellphone. Can anybody in SA send and recieve email through their built-in Email (Not through the web browser) on their cellphone?
If so, pls let us know.

Okay, don't worry.
Got my email working! Wasn't that difficult after all.

outgoing SMTP server = 'smtp.vodacom.co.za' on port 25
incomming Server = 'pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk' on port 110
if you use yahoo, use your own pop server address above if not.

APN = internet
APOP = disable
DNS1 = leave blank
DNS2 = leave blank

Smokalot - are you still having problems with the email. If you are trying to access gmail from the messages>email and get the error invalid certificate authority, you need to download the certificates that gmail use via bluetooth or cable. I have a Sonyericsson K750i and couldn't access my email via the phone, I downloaded the certificates and now everything wotks fine. If you need the certificates, just pm your email addres and I'll try send it, it's only a few kilobytes.
