HELP: can't send emails from IPAD on BTCONNECT at home

[Dutchy]

Recently bought an IPAD and whilst I can access the internet and receive emails through my wireless router at home, I cannot send emails from the IPAD.  Strange thing is that I can send them from the IPAD when I connect to other wifi servers eg work or apple store.  The message I get is "cannot connect to smtp.btconnect.com".  The email account was set up manually and not by synching with itunes.  I have also tried changing address to mail.btconnect.com but again without success.  It is driving me nuts.  BT helpdesk can't help and nor can the chaps in the Apple store.  Can anyone offer any useful suggestions?

Fantastic Answer - Thanks!

Works an absolute charm. Does take a little while to verify, but works when done! None of this lark about paying an smtp provider to manage your emails etc! Completely free and works!

Simple: two outgoing servers - one with authentication one without. It choses the one that works relevant to where it is!

thanks again.
