My phone cant send email (but can read) and I cant log into the web site to use webmail.

 

Is access blocked for overseas IPs?

Are you using an overseas SIM card?

If yes then of course overseas IPs will be blocked on the smtp server

Orcon Email Pop server settings:

 

Which ever of the 2 Pop settings above you are not using, try switching to it.

 

I'm pretty sure I have done what you are trying to do on Orcon. They ratchet up security when you are coming in from off-net/out of country.

You should only ever use the TLS/SSL settings. Otherwise you will have someone spoof a wifi network you have used before, phone will connect to it and start handing out its authentication details to anyone within range.
