Mobile Me Sync fail

Scotty,

I am having an issue with sending emails from my iPhone.   I can send emails via my iPhone at home and at the office but not when I am out and about.

The error message I am receiving is stating:
"Cannot send mail.  The connection to the outgoing server "
smtp.me.com" failed.  Additional outgoing mail servers can be configured in settings --- mail, contacts and calendars."

Can you tell me what I need to do to correct this?

Thanks!

It sounds like mobileme is having a problem connecting to the outgoing mail server on either 3G or over wireless but is fine on the other. I would suggest as a first step, remove the mobileme account and re-add it on your phone. Your data will go away then reappear without loosing anything. You can do this in the iPhone general settings/mail, contacts, calendar area. Delete the account then re-add it. When you recreate the account it should begin with the correct outgoing mail server settings. It’s possible that you accidently changed the outgoing server settings but recreating the account should take care of it.
