Hi tick mike

Many thanks

Yes very helpful as they confirm that the access is locked to their network only for sending email and no security is used for encryption

Do your mobile provider have smtp servers you could use

If not, you would have a few options as follows

Change providers
Use your own domain on a hosted service
Create a dial in vpn to your home network and when using mobile, connect to vpn first, so you are using your home broadband
Use webmail
Do nothing and not be able to send email
Create a free email account and put forwarders on your current email so you then use the free account (note your email address would change to the free email account). I guess this means you then are really a new email account
Upgrade your legacy account with kcom if they have a service which allows for any connection

I hope that helps a little and sorry if I have missed any more options

Many thanks

John

I'm guessing that forwarding isn't even an option with such a poorly specified mail system, using a Gmail account to fetch the mail wouldn't work either without authentication.
I suppose webmail is the easiest option in the short term.
Time to ditch Kcom I think.

The best answer would be to use a hosted service, John (d2d4j) has an excellent deal for forum members. I've been using it for our family for around a year now and it's been excellent.  I have my own domain name which also makes my email address a lot much more professional looking and I don't feel tied to my ISP in fear of losing our email addresses.

As I put earlier EE is our family's phone network provider and they do not have SMTP servers (Just contacted them).

I have got myself an icloud.com email account (and some years ago set up a gmail.com account for my daughters laptop when she was at uni.) and can use there SMTP servers to send mail through.
Both these setups change the email header to either @icloud.com or @gmail.com

Thinking about it I do have a Domain of my own (.co.uk) (free from an Kcom/Eclipse promotion they did some time ago)
I was going to have a self catering holiday let so I have a domain for that, so the Email address associated with that would they be on a different system to my 10 free emails with my internet connection.

Edit...Thanks for all the help  :thumbs:

I can confirm the service and assistance from John is first class.  :)

Me too. Decided to switch my domain email from Namesco to John last night and he has been incredibly helpful. Pretty much all done now with no loss of service. Can't recommend enough.
