Hi, I got my n810 a few month ago and always tried to get the email working. I put in the correct setting from my Internet provider at home, but use the device while travelling. I always get the message that the Outgoing SMTP server is not correct. Do I have to put every time a new servers SMTP data in, I don't even know what it is at different places. Not very smart at those things, would appreciate your help. Thanks

Most likely, your ISP's SMTP server requires a more secure authentication method when you send email from outside your ISP's network. This isn't uncommon. Check your ISP's website or call their support number for information on how to use the ISP's outgoing mail server from outside their network.

Adjusting the SMTP settings to use stronger authentication shouldn't affect your ability to send mail when connected to your ISP. The stronger authentication method should work from both inside and outside their network once you set it up properly.

It used to be that some ISPs denied their users the ability to send mail using the ISP's SMTP servers from anywhere but within their own networks, but I think all ISPs have stopped that sort of silliness by this date.
