Vodamail SMTP?

[elf_lord_ZC5]

I have set up my new Vodamail address on my laptop, which I use to connect to the Internet from different locations. At home or work using a wireless connection to the internet via an ADSL account, I am unable to send e-mails, using Thunderbird. I can download e-mail from these locations, but not send e-mail.

Is there a solution for this other than a Gmail account ... ?

Normally - with outlook (hence why I hate POP !!) you have to change your SMTP settings EACH time you connect via a different internet connection :S

I recommend getting a decent webmail solution or IMAP

Use Vodamail directly via your browser www.vodamail.co.za

The whole point of the exercise, is not to be tied to webmail ... , e-mail clients like Thunderbird, mutt, and yes Outlook, allow you to read mail without a browser, being connected to a server the whole time ... , which is what I want ...

Otherwise, I will have to ditch (junk) my vodamail account ... , is not negotiable ...

Then I suggest that you request the assistance from VodacomData perhaps!

Hi The SMTP.vodamail.co.za with out going authentication works.

GMail is your best option which will work on any connection (ADSL/3G/Neotel, etc.)

Settings use Mozila ThunderBird for VodaMail.co.za

User Name / Default Email adres must be your vodacom fone nr :- 2782 123 4567@vodamail.co.za

Server Name :- pop3.vodamail.co.za ; port = 110
connection security = none
Authentication method = Pasword transmitted insecure (None)

Out going server = smtp.vodamail.co.za
I think the prot should be 25 or 15 but unable to get it verified in ThunderBird

Hope this helps a bit

Best regards

Im having the same issue, SMTP auth does not work, tried everything.
If SMTP Auth is working for someone, please share exact settings used.

Hi

Are you using a 3G connection ? if so no authentication is needed as your cell number serves as authentication.

If over adsl try using your number 27.... and the vodamail password.
