Cable Forum - View Single Post - Windows Mail cannot send email when using mobile phone as access point

I have a standard Virgin Media (ex-Ntlworld) broadband and email account. When I use the connection at home Windows Mail works OK. However when I am away from home I use my O2 phone (unlimited data account) as an access point using Nokia PC Suite / Ovi which works well for browsing but I can only receive email using Windows Mail. When attempting to send I get "Server Error: 421, Error Number: 0x800CCC67" using my mobile phone to connect. Anyone got any ideas ? I guess it's because the O2 connection appears as something else to Virgin Media and gets refused. Can I change my Windows Mail settings to circumvent this ?

Thanks in advance for any help
