i am trying to set up my webmail to come through with my new phone. i have the PPC-6700 and for incoming server i put myuserid.mail.ncsu.edu and for the outgoing server i put smtp.ncsu.edu

it still wont let me send out email. any idea on how to fix this?

thanks

that server only works if you are on the ncsu network - you should use sprint's smtp server

i thought they set up that smtp server so you could use it without being on the ncsu server

and the smtp sprint server wont let you send out email without it being from your spring mail

i'm not wasting my time looking up whether they did or not - but it sure does appear they didn't set it up that way...

setup your own smtp server

^ what I was gonna say

Here's what I did: emailed the help desk & told them to permanantly forward all my Webmail to my gmail account. The PPC-6700 makes setting up your Gmail painfully easy, so now getting my Webmail on my PPC is easy also.

ok that sounds like a good idea...ill have to do that

thanks

you dont need to fucking call someone and waste their time to setup an email forwarding rule. login to webmail.ncsu.edu and make a rule yourself


[Edited on July 24, 2006 at 12:16 PM. Reason : and no, smtp access has never been permitted to people outside of ncsu's subnets, besides UT]

^ emailing the help desk is way, way more efficient

new rule
foward "all mail" to "gmail account"
and
"keep local copy"

how hard is that?

yeah thats what i did

and just fyi smoothcrim i wasnt planing on calling them

calling, emailing, it doesn't really matter. bothering someone because you can't just follow the publicly available directions really just bugs the shit out of me.
