Following up my own post...
Thanks Zen and labboypro for comments.
I looked into this a bit and have a solution that applies whenever you
have a non-sprintpcs mail account on your Treo. I'm posting in case
this helps someone else.
My Treo 650 Versamail has two accounts, sprintpcs and a corporate email
account. I don't want people to start using the sprintpcs email
address, I just use the phone to collect the corporate account email
via POP. I want outgoing messages to be "From:" the corporate account.
The sprintname@sprintpcs.com account works fine. Sends mail OK. To do
it's set-up, I used the screens through the "Basic Setup Complete...
click Done" page in Versamail.
I also have a mail account in Versamail for a corporate mail system. It
is set up this way
- username@corp.com
- incoming mail server: my corporate mail server (this works)
- outgoing mail server: smtp.sprintpcs.com
- Again, set-up through "Basic Setup Complete"
This used to work. Now, it appears to us that Sprint has changed their
policy and no longer allows relaying through smtp.sprintpcs.com for
other accounts without smtp auth.
Solution:
- Versamail
- Accounts... Account setup
- Pick the non-sprintpcs account
- Edit
- Next, Next to the last "Basic" screen. Tap "Advanced," not "Done"
- Next... Outgoing Server Settings
- Check "Use authentication (ESMTP)"
- Username... enter sprintpcs username
- Password... enter sprintpcs email password, not the corporate mail
system password
- Done
Now, I can send mail from the Treo which is "From:" the corporate email
address.
I'm sure this is a policy change at Sprint over the past two months.
But, Sprint support says "It's always been this way."
