Using my Android phone for email using WiFi at hotel in Vietnam and I can receive fine but sending fails. Normally all work fine in UK.
Webmail works but is totally impratical on the phone
Have checked all settings SMTP auth is on , username & password correct and have tried all combinations of server & port i.e. smtp.plus.net relay.plus.net & ports 25 & 587
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks

Doesn't look good, see this thread https://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,145806.0.html where it has been discussed at length

Thanks for the link, as you say, not good ![Sad Sad](/html/@5863905B9AC6EE4F2B28C1A2965ABC0C/images/emoticons/sad.gif)
As I'm just away on holiday and want to communicate with family, setting up an alternative SMTP server provider that will work is not a practical option and trying to use Webmail is virtually impossible on mobile phone as the keyboard obscures the text entry field. Thanks Plusnet!
There I was thinking Plusnet were a great ISP. Next time I have to fill in a customer survey questionnaire, tbe answers may be different.

When I have been working away, most recently Saudi Arabia, I usually ignored Plusnet's mail server and used the local ISP's

Thanks for the webmail link Bob, it certainly is easier than the default to use on a phone.
Peter, I'm not in a position to track down a local ISP server address
Good thought though.
