Hello, Tessa:
You do need to set up one account as the default. So, you'll
need to press Space when you see default unchecked. And yes, you
do need your user name and password written in after you see the
pop server and smtp server information. When you send an email,
it sends from your default account, unless you want to select a
different account. I won't mention that step now, because I
don't believe that's your question. I don't shut my router and
things off, but that shouldn't make a difference.
I'll be interested to know how you do.

Subject: Re: [GWN] BS freezing and email question
Hi To everyone, thanks for answering my freezing question.
The not being able to send mail is really bugging me LOL, one of
the major
reasons I got the BS was to do email when I don't have access to
a pc.
I can receive fine, though I'm wondering if anyone knows why it
sometimes
takes ages to connect to the net. I've got it on a router and
turn the dsl
modem off at night or other times when I'm not going to use it
for a while.
I turn the modem on then plug in the bs and turn it on and then
it can take
anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes before it says connected,
and yes the
modem appears to be working fine all four of the lights are on
but the bs is
still trying to connect.
But back to my inability to send mail. I have several mail
accounts that I
put into the bs. I used the settings I got off my PC in order to
set up the
accounts on the BS. One thing I don't have on the pc is a user
name and
password for the smtp server, I assume it's your account name and
password?
The question there is that my original account is this one
puppycat, it's
how I connect to the tbaytel server,
I don't know if that is important when setting up my other
accounts on the
bs or not? Do I need the puppycat user name and password for my
other
accounts, on my pc I don't? As you can see I really don't have a
firm grasp
of how this all works.
I tried to send two messages to my other accounts this morning,
the first
failed giving me a "535-515 error incorrect password or account
name." When
I sent the message to a second account it went through, so I
don't
understand why one would fail and a second succeed?
I don't understand the item "use as default smtp? Do I need to
check that or
not, it's not in my account info on the pc and no items are
checked on the
pc either.
I've tried sending messages a second time and they seem to be
going through,
this makes no sense.
Also can anyone suggest why when I receive messages from yahoo
for
moderation the bs doesn't show them as having attachments even
though they
do and the attached file is included at the end of the message
body?
Thanks for any help.
Tessa

On the hang, you'll have to do a reset and I'd bet dollars to
doughnuts
it'll have to be a Cold Reset, i.e., using the button, not the
Warm
Reset key combo. There are a few problems with the email app and
it
occasionally hangs.
As for not being able to send email, can you do it with the same
account
with your PC? If so, check to see that all the settings are the
same,
i.e., if outgoing port numbers and such are the same.
