(Don't know the settings, Three should be able to tell you, Website?)
(Don't forget to also set the [edit SMTP server list] advanced options)
I have this problem using T-Mobile BB when not using Plusnet.
When I use Orange MBB, I choose my previously set Orange SMTP Outgoing Mail Server.
Details came with Orange 3G SIM and Dongle.
I actually POP3 my emails from Tesco webmail, so if needs be I can send emails directly from Tesco website.
If you POP3 Mail, you could also do the same from your webmail.
If you have an Orange phone, you can set up proxy (pretend) email addresses from your account webmail, so that emails sent from Orange surrogate email addresses appear as if from your actual email address (my terminology may be slightly wrong), and replies received there also.

Quote from: PlusComUK Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) needs to be configured for Three, not O2.

I realise that it shouldn't configured to O2 but there is a setting now (I was told a whle back by PN) that all operators are supposed to allow through. These settings are supposed to be universal. It's supposed to be something to do with Authentication set to Password and it works on my phone with PN outgoing mail server settings which happens to be O2. Theorhetically this should also work for Three but it doesn't.

Quote from: MisterW Yep that figures, Three block access on port 25 to anything other than their own smtp server. You will need to use smtp-mbb.three.co.uk as the outgoing server ( without authentication ) when using the Mifi.
This is the correct solution. Three block you from using any SMTP server except their own. In addition their standard server blocks you from sending with the senders address set to anything but three, if you want to send using your Plusnet email as the senders address you must use smtp-mbb.three.co.uk as the outgoing server.

What are the generic universal settings mentioned pls ?

Off the top of my head you put the usual mail.plus.net and relay.plus.net in with your username+emailprefix and in advanced you put in the authentication as "yourpassword" this works on O2 without having to use the O2 SMTP thingy. But as pointed out previously, Three don't comply with that which is pants

This is RUBBISH! (not your explaination, Three's blocking) As far as I know everyone else allows password authentication, it's explained somewhere else on this forum because I used the info to get my iphone (1) to work and it's worked through all three ipones I've had without a hitch.
Bloody Three!!

Unfortunately I can't find any relevant info on the Plusnet site, so it would be helpful if a member of staff could make a statement on whether this is or will be available - as this problem will only get worse as more customers start using 3G dongles when travelling.

"As for your query towards us not using the port 587, even though other users do, we do take all feedback on board and if the need came to light that we needed to use this port then it would be used. As it stands we do not have enough demand from our customers to need to use port 587."
So there you have it guys - the need has't come to light and there isn't enough demand!
