I can confirm that tiscali/talktalk only allow you to post from a tiscali/talktalk address when connected through their own server. Collecting mail is no problem. They say it helps to prevent spam etc. When I am away from home, my mobile devices send using Gmail or I use the talktalk webmail application on a browser. Lawrence |
