You can't send email through COX's SMTP server if you are off-network using port 25. Alternatively, if the Tilt 2 supports SMTP authentication and SSL, you can use port 465 with SSL and authentication set to password using the same login credentials as your POP settings. See http://support.cox.com/sdccommon/as...sprt_cid=a401da4a-6e7d-423e-95f6-aa0f2943c01f for more information. *A second alternative is port 587, which should be SSL off, but SMTP authentication on. I can't test this though since I'm not a COX user
