hx4700 Windows Mobile 2003 SE can receive email but cannot..

Are your credentials the same for both the POP (Inbound) and SMTP
(Outbound) servers? Outlook for the PPC does not support separate
authentication for POP/SMTP. Your userid and password have to be the
same for both. A well known shortcoming.

If you're connected through your home ISP and using the same servers
your desktop does, then if should work. However, if your at a wireless
access point somewhat else, it may not.

I got around this limitation by setting up a $5 account at
tollfreeisp.com, where they give you access to their SMTP server. I
made sure that the userid and password I set the account up with were
identical to my home ISP. In Pocket Outlook I specify the tollfreeisp
SMTP server and check the box for 'outbound server requires
authentication'. Works great and I never have to change my Outlook
settings no matter where I am in the world.

Thanks for the quick response.

Credentials are the same for both out and in.
I am using the same exact account that I use on my laptop with no problem.

Like you said, if it works on the laptop, it should work on the hx4705.
I have been hitting this issue for two weeks now, searching internet and
trying every setting possible. I am thinking it is a bug, maybe.

Thanks again for responding.
