Q: Hotspot doesn't send email on laptop
Hi all.
I've successfully connected my laptop (Windows 7) to my iPhone 4 using hotspot many times.
I can use the internet and Windows Live to receive email every time.
I always seem to have a problem sending emails from my laptop.
Messages show up when receiving & sending emails:
X Send message using 'email@server.etc' Failed
/ Check for new messages on 'email@server.etc' Completed
/ Check for new messages on 'other@server.etc' Completed
I can successfully send (and receive) emails from my iPhone 4 even whilst it's connected to laptop by Hotspot. I can send (and receive) emails from my laptop when it's not using Hotspot but connected by WiFi to my home router.
Admittedly I don't understand how this works; I just want to be able to send emails.
Can you wise people out there help me understand and solve this annoying problem please.
Cheers,
Lendl
iPhone 4, Windows Vista
