Important Points
- These instructions are based on the standard Android 2.x mobile device operating system, you may find that the process / buttons to access the menus varies slightly depending on the mobile /cell phone manufacturer.
- First you need to make sure the email address(es) you will be sending from have been authorised for your account in our Control Panel .
- They assume your mobile device / email account has already been setup and is collecting email correctly
- Take a note of any settings you change.
- Only change the items specified - you should not need to change your incoming email settings.
