smtp and Iphone

the only way i can get outgoing mail to work on my Iphone
is to use the att cwmx.com:25 smtp server - but that only works when on the Edge network

i would like to use the yahoo smtp server so i can send mail when im on wifi - i want to configure it to let me send email for my work account - sending email from my yahoo account works fine

i dont seem to be able to use my work smtp server since it wants TLS security and it the Iphone only supports SSL

does anyone know the configuration for setting up the yahoo smtp server so it will allow sending email from a non yahoo id

ive tried

smtp.mail.yahoo.com:25
smtp.mail.yahoo.com:587

ive put in my yahoo id and password - ive tried it with ssl for outgoing mail both on and off

nothing seems to work

i would prefer ssl if its possible so the outgoing mail is secure

cwmx.com is on port 25 so i dont think its doing any kind of security - and as i said will only work when on the EDGE network

thanks

IPhone, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Well, that is the point I was trying to make.

Using a gmail account you cannot send emails through your iPhone using your " business address "

Unless there is someone out there with a solution.

yes you can - i did it - you have to do some setup on mail.google.com

below are the instructions i posted to the forum

set your smtp server to

gmail.com:465

add your gmail userid and password

for the acount on the iPhone you want to use the google smtp server

set outgoing mail to use SSL

logon to gmail at

mail.google.com

in the upper right corner is a label called settings

click on that then click on the Accounts label

there is a box Send Mail as

add the email address you want the email to be the fro address

gmail will send you an email with a confirmation number - type that into the box that pops up

you have a choice to set which email address you want as your default and also if it should always send email as that address - set the email you want to be the default

or

Reply from the same address the mail was sent to

so mail sent to your gmail address is replied to from your gmail address - mail sent to your other address is replied to with that address

you can add multiple email addresses but it doessnt say what the limit is

if you have your own domain name there is a link that says you an use certain google apps with you own domain name - i dont have one so i havent tried it -

Doesn't work for me? I set up smtp.gmail.com:465 (with ssl on for outgoing mail) in my outgoing server settings on my insight.rr acount and It still does not send? I have a gmail account that works fine (send & recieve) but I need a outgoing server for my insight.rr acount that I recieve mail on my iPhone.

im a little confused - you said

but I need a outgoing server for my insight.rr acount that I recieve mail on my iPhone.

dont you mean you need an incoming account to reeive email on your iPhone

smtp.gmail.com will send outgping mail

if you send e an email address you can receive email ill send you an email from my iPhone - if your email accoint can show you the headers you will be able to see that it came from gmail

you an semd me your email address at either

mneedlem@ufl.edu or
needleman_mark@yahoo.com

the mail i send you should coe from

mneedle@ufl.edu
