POP mail on a DoCoMo htc z

This is likely the most obscure post we've ever written, but on the offchance it may help someone: if you're using a DoCoMo business phone (the Motorola M1000 or htc z are the models currently available)and DoCoMo's mopera ISP, you may find you're having trouble sending mail from other POP accounts.

The reason is simple: mopera blocks port 25 for mail sending. However, there's hope: check with your provider if they allow you to send via port 587 or 465. If they do, open up your mail account settings and add ":587" or ":465" after your sendmail server's address (we also had to tag the "send using SSL" option). And away you go.
