poor iphone users cant get smtp to work
hopefully google will get this soon
Its an Apple and ATT failure due to their inability to realize how isp roaming and smtp would affect their customers and didnt address this via manuals or online documentation
Aside from that, most ISP\ufffds and those who adhere to the BCP documents for email do not allow folks from outside IP addresses to send mail via their smtp servers. Some ISP\ufffds allow SSL SMTP traffic from outside but many dont because even a secure connection with the average password being unsuitable is still a method for spammers to relay spam.

All ISPs have some form of web enabled mail client available from any location and usually a wap front end so its usable on a hand set. Being aware of what network you are using and sending to the designated smtp server for that network is something handset and other users need to be more educated by the sellers of such services.
thanx,
