I am very familiar with the ins and outs of setting up email protocols using a variety of email clients, so I am confident that I was not having finger trouble, or setting things up incorrectly.
In the end, the easiest thing to do was set the phone POP3 to fetch from my Orange account inbox, and send SMTP via Plusnet.

I have a google email address that is great and works across any wifi
sorry not sure I understand what you mean.
My biggest issue is I spend alot of time abroad and want to be able to use various wifis. When I was with 02 this was fine.
All very strange.
Thanks

I hope that explains it...
Edit
Quote My biggest issue is I spend alot of time abroad and want to be able to use various wifis
I spend time in Portugal and use a mobile dongle there ( on the Vodafone network ) and using authenticated smtp via relay.plus.net works fine. However I have tried here on the 3 network and I'm pretty sure that it got blocked and I had to use smtp-mbb.three.co.uk to send.

Quote thanks all. It just seems that I may as well just use my google email as that works fine.
But doesn't google mail rewrite the from address to your google mail account , so its not possible to send email as though it came from your PlusNet ( or domain if you have one ).
Something from another forum...
Quote I set up Gmail for a client for SMTP access, and we discovered the following huge drawback: Gmail automatically rewrites the "from" line of any e-mail you send via their SMTP gateway to your Gmail address, and it overrides any Reply-To settings you may have in your e-mail software in favor of the one in Gmail's web interface. So while Gmail's SMTP access sure is handy, it's not a perfect solution for everybody.

The link http://www.authsmtp.com/auth-smtp/pricing.html looks interesting, how does it work? Do you know.
Ideally I just want one email address. Doesnt seem to be asking for much!

Yep, suggested BIL set up an account with them a little while ago. He spends time overseas and uses various wifi networks and wanted a way to send his email from anywhere no matter how he was connected. The basic package allows you to register up to 10 email addresses that it will allow you to use in the 'from' field. You connect to their smtp servers either on the normal port 25 ( or 2525 if you think any network you use may block 25 ) and authenticate with a userid/password that you create with the smtpauth account.
You can then send/receive email from any of the up to 10 email addresses that you register on your account. Have a look through their faq's

What is your problem?
There is so little info required to set up the imap account. I struggle to figure out where you could be going wrong.
What are the symptoms of your problem?

Recheck all the settings, and if it still doesn't work, you might be able to check out this guide. (warning, humour involved)
