I've tethered my blackberry to my vista laptop. Outlook 2007 will receive but not send emails. I'm on vodaphone and my email account is talktalk. Emails send normally at home when using wifi to talktalk broadband.
Any thoughts?

The issue would be most likely a port being blocked by blackberry. or they use a different SMTP port / address.

Please could you tell me how to go about fixing it? Port numbers etc are outside my knowledge zone! Thanks IA

I don't use he blackberry mate. I would not know the port or the address they use

Your best bet would be contact your network provider or visit the black berry forums mate.

Yes correct. You can even use 587 and 225 also. Port 25 is the default port for Email Clients and I suspect that is not working for him.

Guess its whatever your provider wants you to use. Some isp's block certain ports to restrict your service.
