iPAQ Wireless email help, please

[Walter Scott]

I'm trying to set up my iPaq PDA which has wireless to access my email. My ISP requires that I change the SMTP outgoing port from the default to 587. How do I do that on my windows mobile iPAQ hx-2495 PDA?

You can try using 3rd party mail client such as Qmail instead, not sure how well it works with WM 5.0 though.

Using similar model hx2490... gmail uses these smtp settings for smtp: Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL) Port: 465 or 587, so I just defined the SSL for POP3 and for SMTP ("require SLL for outgoing mail" in default wm5 Messaging app) and I did not define any ports anywhere. It works for me.

OK, I almost understand. I can find where I tell it to use SSL, but I do not see where to "define" or set up the SSL connection to use the port I need.

got the answer! you can add the port number where you enter the outgoing server, like this:

outoing mail server: mail.whatever.com:587
