hey, good to meet you all.
Here's the situation. Probably an easy one to crack if you have half a brain and a wee bit of experience. I used to be good at this stuff, but it just moves too fast for me now !
Here's the kit list - some of which will be irrelevant but just so as you know...
phone - HTC desire S - on 3 - pretty good out of the house, rubbish indoors
imac at home 3.06 Ghz core duo - ethernet wired to Virgin Media superhub - with up to 30mb (!) upstairs in wee office
wireless used to get my htc, and my daughter's itouch and kindle online downstairs.
email is primarily @ntlworld.com ..... which I have managed to configure on HTC so I get emails to that address using recent:mode.
I send emails from that account using smtb-mbb.three.co.uk.
but of course this is rubbish if wanting to send emails from my phone while in the house (unless I wish to stand on one leg reaching for the ceiling above the wardrobe in my daughter's bedroom which is where I get 1 bar!)
I have a gmail account - I have read about pushing email but I still don't understand! i want to keep my ntlworld email as long as I can...
what do you clever people suggest?
I assume that the gmail account goes via wireless to the imac and then to the outside world and th ephone signal has nothing to do with it?
for instance, can i use ntlworld account via gmail so that the recipient gets the email but it looks like it still came from the @ntlworld account??
any thoughts ideas solutions gratefully received!
