Windows Mail and 3G technology

[Gwen at FrenchEntrée]

I hope you can help. We live in France and work from home. As there
is no broadband to our house, we have 3G internet through Bouygues
Telecom. We're trying to configure the mail and we have the POP3 incoming
mail address just fine, but can't get an SMTP to work for outgoing
mail. We've been to the Bouygues shop to ask the address it should be,
but they don't seem to know and the information they provided doesn't
work.

Do you know how the Windows Mail and 3G is usually configured?

Many thanks for your assistance,

Gwen

Try asking here in this French OE NG, as the settings will be the same as
for OE.

I don't know about 3G. The Windows Mail account information, such
as the server names, depends on which email provider you are using,
and the information usually has to come from them.

The connectivity technology that is used should not matter.
If your 3G provider can't give you an SMTP server, then get one
from a different source:

Get a free Gmail account: http://gmail.com
Then, configure that account for POP access:

Then, add that account to your Windows Live Mail:

You can ignore the Gmail receive function and just use the sending
capability. Or you could substitute the Gmail SMTP server into your
existing account in Windows Mail. The latter is a bit tricky, but if you
need help with that, let us know.
