Three used to allow you to send email through email servers running on port 25 through their Mobile Broadband, then it suddenly stopped working a few weeks back

I wasn't imagining it then!

Tah-dah.....

OK, just found the following info on t'web which someone winkled out of 3 support.

Change the smtp server to smtp-mbb.three.co.uk as this one doesn't rewrite addresses on the fly in the same way that smtp.three.co.uk does. I assume that smtp.three.co.uk is solely for 3's own email service and that smtp-mbb.three.co.uk is for evryone else (mbb == mobile broadband?). Note: normally email sent through smtp.three.co.uk doesn't get counted against your data allowance; I'm not sure if this is true for smtp-mbb.three.co.uk so you might want to experiment before sending large attachments.

I can now send email from a 3 mobile with the from and reply-to headers set to whatever I want - yippee!

Thanks for the help, its now working through three's servers, although i haventy tried it on the phone +laptop liknk yet

Thanks guys. I used the mbb smtp and it now works. I wish that Three would get their act together. I am very tempted to pay £50 and get out of the contract however will I be better off with another provider. I use a 3 Huawei modem connected to my laptop when away from home. Is there a really good mobile broadband network that does not drop the connection every 10 minutes even when you are in a good coverage area?

I’ve had the same problem although I’m with orange not 3
Use ure network smtp to send and ure plusnet to receive emails
This I’ve done and it works

Have just got a Vodafone Huawei USB modem which seems to work quite well. Once it is connected it stays connected.

Drat. Just to prove me wrong, the connection kept dropping out tonight. Signal kept going from 3.5G to GPRS to nothing. Internet was virtually unusable.
