Outbound email via ATT Internet fails on E71

Hello,



I am configuring my new unlocked E71 that is tethered to ATT (with the data plan), and have run into a problem sending email from my default mail account (a client to my personal ISP (Verio)) if it is configured to have ATT Internet as the outgoing email
access point.



I have been successful in both sending and receiving email from my work email account with Exchange Mail, as well as receiving email into my default mailbox, all configured to use the ATT Internet access point. I also have been able to send email from my
default mail account if it's configured to use a WiFi access point. However, when I use that very same outgoing email configuration substituting ATT Internet for WiFi as the access point, sending email fails with an error message saying my configuration is
invalid.



I have tried all possible port and security combinations in the outgoing email configuration, but nothing has worked so far if ATT Internet is the access point. I'm mystified as to why this one email event fails for ATT internet access point, while everything
else succeeds. Any suggestions?



Thanks in advance!

 

Allowing a Program Access to the Internet

Hi Philip,

A firewall is a software program or piece of hardware that helps screen out hackers, viruses, and worms that try to reach your computer over the Internet. Using Windows Firewall, you can allow programs to access the internet. To do so, creating a Firewall
Rule is required. Start the Windows Firewall settings by clicking Start and searching for Firewall. Click the Windows Firewall app and not Windows Firewall with Advanced Security. The Windows Firewall screen shows you how the firewall is configured for both
private networks and public networks. On the list of settings to the left, click “Allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall". The next view shows you a list of all the apps that are already allowed to communicate, and over what kinds of networks (private
or public). If it’s the first time you’ve opened Windows Firewall, click the Change Settings button to give yourself permissions to make changes or add new apps. You’ll only need to do this once. To add a new app to the list, click “Allow another app”. In
the Add an app window, browse for the app you want to allow network access to. Click the Network types button to specify whether you want to allow the app access on public or private networks (or both). Click Add when you’re done and that’s it. You’ve allowed
the app through your firewall–you’ll see it show up on the list of allowed apps, and it should be allowed to use internet or network-related features.

Guidance needed to setup my Home PC access over Internet through browser

I wasn't giving steps on how to get RDP working, that is covered plenty of other places, I just give the steps to make it secure.

RDP. If they aren't tracking your Web browsing, I doubt they are going to track RDP.

And if you start the session from the command prompt it doesn't even put the address in the MRU list.

Though the question that needs to be asked now is, what are you using for your VM lab?
