Have been asking questions on vodafone forum re this but still hitting a brick wall.

A colleague has an iphone and an email at clear.net.nz, can read emails on 3G connection but can't reply as smtp server is invalid when not connected to correct ISP i.e. he has broadband with xtra so when at home on wifi the xtra smtp server works fine.

the vodafone smtp server is apparently smtp2.vodafone.net.nz port 25, but he can't get it to add to the list of smtp servers on the phone.

I had slightly more success using smtp2.vodafone.net.nz:25 in that it sort of saved although said it wasn't really working, but emails still don't send.

has anyone managed to send/reply to emails on a 3G connection using the vodafone smtp server and if so, how did they get it onto the phone and working.

I know you can use gmail's smtp, but as i understand it attaches "sent by gmail on behalf of xxxx" which isn't ideal, so the vodafone option seems like a better idea.

Cheers.
