I have two problems with my WM5 email (pop) accounts.

First, there is a limit of 4 email accounts. I cannot add any more.

Secondly, if I am at a different location logged into a different WiFi
service, I cannot change the outgoing smtp data other than change it at the
email settings. After which I have to rest again. This is hugely
disadvantageous when compared to Palm or Symbian. Hence I need many email
accounts just to set up different outgoing smtp values in order to send via
different broadband accounts.


Appreciate any comment or solutions to this.

A third party email client might be the best solution for this... wm5
unfortunately broke a lot of things that were working in earlier os's
such as the ability to send responses using an alternate account.

However, where did the 4 account limit come from? I have not seen nor
heard of that before your post... know there is a limit, but it should
be much higher than 4.

The limit is 5. I hard reset the device to try and set up the account again.
A message stating the limit of 5 was shown.

Which alternate email solution would do the job??

I've heard good things about QMail, but don't use it so can't recommend
firsthand.

ppc email has been a bunch of rolling frustrations since it's
introduction... so, a couple of thoughts...

WebMail interface that's mobile friendly... might see what your provider
offers... mine has a good configurable webmail interface named
squirrelmail which has saved it's share of bacon over the years...
biggies such as Yahoo offer mobile mail interfaces... even if you don't
use them as your primary account, you can use them to send emails when
nothing else works.

Public smtp services which will allow smtp from any connection...
(google time) might be problems such as blocking by the receiver or
being a subscription service.

see if your provider offers smtp authentication for use when outside of
their connection

QMail is decent and free. In addition it handles usenet and RSS feeds.
(I'm posting this w/QMail now.)

I have just started using mail2web to automatically download and send
emails. But this can be expensive while roaming. I will try Qmail and see
how it works. Thanks guys.
