Sending email away from home

I use a iBook G4 that I have set up wireless Airport in my home. I am able to send and receive emails at home. I have DSL provided by Cavalier and use Safari email program.
I am able to pick up WiFi signals in my travels as a sales rep. and can receive emails. The problem is I can't send emails. I checked with my Internet provider and they tell me to go their web site to send emails. That works for regular emails, but I work with a Filemaker software to generate sales orders that I email to vendors. I am not able to send these emails when I pick up a WiFi signal away from home.
Any suggestions.

Safari isn't an e-mail program, it's a Web browser. When you use Cavalier's Webmail, you do so with a browser (such as Safari).
The Filemaker generated e-mail is probably using an e-mail client, such as Mail, to send the message. When you're sending from a 'foreign', not-Cavalier network (which is what happens when you hitch on someone else's WiFi signal, unless they happen to be a Cavalier customer), The Cavalier SMTP server won't send the e-mail. Many ISPs have adopted this tactic as a way of slowing down the spam avalanche. In some cases, they have established mechanisms to require authentication and use ports other than the popular port 25. It sounds like Cavalier has decided to lock things down a little tighter and requires you to use their Webmail when you're out of network.
One thing you can do is to let Filemaker generate the e-mail, then copy and paste it into Cavalier's Webmail to send it.
Hopefully others will have some suggestions.
Good luck

  • IPad wont send emails away from home wifi

    My iPad sends and receives emails when I'm using my home wifi - but will only receive and not send emails when I am away and using other wifi. Sent messages sit in the outbox until I get home - then they go. Any thoughts?

    Try changing the SMTP port from 25 to 587.  This should work when connected to both BT network and 3 network.

  • Don't know how to access my email away from home

    i don't know how to access my email away from home.
    can't find webmail or email options.
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; AOL 9.1; AOLBuild 4334.5009; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/4.0; GTB6.3; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30618)

    Somehow I got it to work, a whole lot easier than i thought, kind of scary how easy... but Im not exactly sure what of several things is how I got it. Scariest thing; watching my iBook I wouldn't know that I was accessing it from the MB. It's only me doing it, but still seems so easy.
    If I have a WPA2 password protected wireless network do I have to worry that others can access it so easily? (not that I have anything interesting, it's just the general privacy paranoia)

  • Getting email away from home

    How do I get my .mac email away from home on my son's pc-based laptop? Thx.

    Go to http:mail.mac.com/yourusername and log in with your .Mac password.
    From here you should be able to read your mails.
    Next time you're back home and login with Mail, your read messages will still download (unless you've deleted them of course)

  • Is there any final answer to why emails will not send when away from home IP?  Have san diego road runner.  emails send fine from home, but do not send when using another IP.

    Is there a final answer to why emails do not send from iphones when away from home IP?

    This is a common anti-spam technique for ISPs to prevent mail from being sent from anywhere other than your service location. Ask Road Runner if there are any specific settings you can use to circumvent this.

  • Outgoing emails away from home

    When away from home (ISP TalkTalk) I find I can receive emails fine, but I cannot send emails on Mac Mail. This happened with my last ISP as well. Is there anyway of correcting this whilst still using Mac Mail? I have tried using different outgoing servers, but there seems to be something missing.

    Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
    This issue is totally dependent upon the internet provider at the venues you visit while away from home, and also upon whether your ISP provides a SMTP that is fully authenticated and works on a Port other than Port 25. The latter is being increasingly blocked by most providers, and SMTP that trust you at your home venue only by reference to your authentication of the Incoming Server or the IP address of the Modem provided by your ISP are likely to not work when away. This is not related to Mail per se, but any email client.
    Ask your ISP is they have a SMTP that works on Port 587 or Port 465 for you to use when away from home.

  • HT4528 I have a problem: I cannot send emails away from my wireless connection at my home computer. How can I correct this?

    How do I send email messages when out of my wireless home computer?

    I want to make sure I'm understanding you clearly:
    When trying to send emails over your iPhone's 3G connection emails will not send, correct?
    If I have understood it correctly then try the steps found in this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3780
    Sometimes the cellular antennas in the iPhone just need a good reset.
    Let us know if this works for you.

  • Won't send email away from wifi

    I have been fiddling with settings in vain. Now I can't even send using wifi. If a blackberry can work why doesn't IPad send

    Because your email account does not have an authenticated SMTP server. Is the email account provided by your internet service provider at home, and your cousin does not have the same ISP as yours?
    Most, if not all internet service providers block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP being used for your internet connection at the time unless the SMTP server is authenticated. This restriction is in place as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain. This is really a joke since the overwhelming majority of spam if not all emanates from PC boxes throughout the world running that swiss cheese for security garbage OS that is Windows being compromised/taken over remotely by spammers.  

  • Accessing email away from home

    I just switched to Verizon Fios on Friday and I am trying to access my email from my work computer.  I can see my Inbox, but when I click on the message to read it, all I get is a blank screen.  I assume that I need to try to change some settings on my work PC, but have no idea where to start. Any suggestions?

    Actually their email is pretty good  and reliable (past 48 hours excepted) ... it's the web front-end that is a bit dodgy.  While I hesitate to suggest it because I personally am not a fan of the "portal" experiences offer by Yahoo! or AOL -- Verizon does allow you to "switch" experiences (under your My Account settings) to one of these two portals instead (once you do so, your email is handled thru that portal and you can't come back to the Verizon "experience").   The experience interface is no cost and you retain your verizon.net email address -- it's just that you retrieve and send your mail thru the web interface provided by Yahoo! or AOL instead.   You might want to investigate that avenue.   I do know that different areas of the country appear to have different experiences.
    Optionally, the big web-based mail providers (Gmail and Hotmail/Live among them) also have the ability to configure their accounts to poll and pull in mail from your Verizon mailbox via a POP connection.   So mail sent to your Verizon address is automatically retrieved by their webmail interface and shown to you.   I know that Gmail will even let you create a "send as" capability so that you can send mail as your verizon.net account without needing to expose your Gmail account name.   Another option.   (I have my own domain, so I use GoogleApps standard -- which is free for personal use -- and do exactly this pulling in my verizon.net mail to my Gmail based web interface).

  • Send "away from home" message

    How do I send an "away from home" or "out of office" message in mail like I can in Outlook? Can't seem to find instructions anywhere.
    Thanks

    Open Mail preferences. Go to the Rules tab. Click the +Add Rule+ button.
    Name it whatever you want in Description. The rule itself is
    +If any of the following conditions are met:+
    To -- +Is equal to+ -- [email protected]
    To -- +Is equal to+ -- [email protected]
    <add as many as needed for your email addresses>
    +Perform the following actions:+
    *Reply to Message* -- Click +Reply message text...+ button and enter your reply message for being away.
    When you click OK, make sure you select NOT TO apply rule to (existing) messages in the selected mailbox. You just want it to apply to new messages. After the rule is saved, immediately uncheck the Active checkbox, until you need to use it. Late at night, when you are less likely to get a real message, test it out by making the rule active and sending an email to yourself, to make sure your "vacation" rule works as expected.
    Look up the Mail Help topic +Sending automatic replies+ and note the warnings about making a rule too broad. As advised, it may be best to use a mail server setting to send this type of reply. For example, with .Mac, I can set it up to automatically send such a reply when I'm away. When I get back, I can make it stop.

  • Sending e-mail away from home

    When I'm away from home I can't send e-mail from my MacBook Air. For ex if I try to send from a hotel room while on their internet. I receive mail but can't send out.

    Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) sends mesages; it communicates over several ports (25 & 587 being common). It is not uncommon for these ports to be blocked if you are using a public internet connection, like at a cafe or from a hotel's public wireless network.
    If the email account you are trying to send from is a webmail account, like gmail or yahoo, you can simply use the webmail interface as opposed to using Mac's mail client (mail.app).
    It's more likely that you are trying to send from a work email. If this is the case, your work should be providing you with some means to connect to the internet other than using public wi-fi, for example a Virtual Private Network (VPN), or small 4G modem.
    In any event, sending mail from a non-public network should solve your problem. Most smart phones can be used as mobile hotspots - often free of charge. Often times the app comes pre-installed.

  • Can't send mail when away from home

    10.5.2
    I can't get my MacBook Pro to send email when I'm away from home but the connection doctor says it is connected to all of the smtp servers in my mail accounts.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Most, if not all ISPs, block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP being used for your internet connection) on Port 25. Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only that is outside of their network, but some block all available ports that can be used with an SMTP server that is outside of their network.
    These restrictions are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
    Earthlink has an authenticated SMTP server, as does a .Mac account, so you should be able to send messages with your Earthlink and .Mac accounts when connected to different ISPs. If not and you are using 25 for the SMTP server port for these SMTP servers, try using 587 for the SMTP server port instead for each.
    You can only use the .Mac authenticated SMTP server to send messages with a .Mac account, but it should be possible to use Earthlink's authenticated SMTP server to send messages with any account.
    If the ISP you are using for your internet connection is very restrictive in this regard, there isn't much you can do except for contacting the ISP being used for their requirement when using an SMTP server that is outside of their network, or send via webmail access for the account using a browser.

  • Using Email on iPhone Away from Home

    If anyone can help with this I would be grateful. I am having issues sending and receiving emails (with a comcast email account) from my iPhone when I'm away from home. At home it works fine -- I'm guessing because it's accessing comcast's mail servers via my Airport WiFi system. However, when away from home and when the iPhone has to send/receive via ATT's Edge network, I get "unable to connect to server" messages.
    Any suggestions on how I might fix this, or is this an ATT issue?

    You should be able to receive mail fine, whether you're on WiFi or Edge...
    for your outgoing server try adding :587 to the end of the server address.
    Put your username and password in.
    Go to advanced and make sure SSL is turned off, and authentication is set to "password".
    That worked for me with my provider, and I had used the suggestion based one what someone using comcast had said!

  • Mail will not send when i am away from  home

    When I am wirelessly connected and successfully receiving Mail email, I still cannot send messages from Mail, as it requires "authentication". I have "Ping-ed" it and everything seems fine there. It even seems here I have access open to the local smtp.comcast.net. (At home I have comcast, too.) I also tried setting the port from 25 to I think it was 587, as suggested in someone else's posting.
    Please share your wisdom!
    Thank you.

    All internet service providers have restrictions on using an SMTP server that is outside of their network or that isn't provided by the ISP used for connecting to the internet.
    Is this email account provided by your ISP - Comcast?
    If so and you happen to be connected to the internet via Comcast when away from home, you shouldn't have any problems sending messages with your Comcast email account and SMTP server.
    If not connected to the internet via Comcast when away from home, the required settings are determined by the ISP used for connecting to the internet.
    The ISP used by a hotel/motel may not have such a restriction for registered guests who are usually given a password for provided internet access when checking in.
    Most Airports with WiFi access require a payment for internet access and the same at a Starbucks for example but some non-chain coffee shops provide free WiFi internet access and the same for some restaurant chains but this doesn't mean the internet service provider doesn't impose restrictions on using an SMTP server that is outside of their network.
    Long story short, you need to know the ISP's SMTP server restrictions or required settings when using an ISP for internet access other than your own.
