Windows can't read mac formatted drives

Hi Scotty,
I have been meaning to email you this follow-up question/problem....

You may recall we set up an Alias within MobileMe so that I could have my own personal
me.com account.   We have kept the xxxxxr.com account and the xxxxxxs.com account working but I believe you set it up to have RR forward those emails to the me.com account (can't remember how that was done ???).   The issue is with my iPhone.   I am getting all the messages to my phone for ALL email accounts, however, I cannot reply to them or initiate an email using my me.com or the other account to send any from my phone.   The message I get states:  " Cannot Send Mail.  A copy has been placed in your Outbox.  The recipient “xxx”x.com was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying."   I have made sure the server on the phone is Mac.  I cannot determine how to solve the problem.  I eventually would like to be rid of my personal RR email address, but since I cannot even see the me.com alias as an account on the MobileMe site, I am not sure it can yet be my sole email address.   I AM ABLE  to send mail by phone if I just change the From on the message to one of my RR accounts, but I need to do that for every message.   Thoughts?

Ok, if your phone is having a hard time sending out mail that means there’s an issue with the outgoing mail server. Good news for iPhone 4 and iOS 4 users. Apple has made it easy to turn on multiple outgoing servers on the phone so that if one server fails there are others to continue the task. Now, ATT has it’s own server. (cwmx.com) This server allows RR email to go out over ATT 3G network. Unfortunately ATT denies RR’s outgoing server smtp-server.carolina.rr.com to move mail when your phone is connected to the #G or Edge network. smtp-server.carolina.rr.com works perfectly fine on a wireless network but not on your cell network. Most likely what is happening is that your forwarded mail is coming in as from an RR address so when you respond it expects to travel on the smtp-server.carolina.rr.com rail. Therefore your email is being denied. I would turn on the cwmx.com outgoing server in your advanced outgoing server settings list.



That may help the situation.

It is also possible that RR’s forwarding has added an additional recipient xxxx.com which is basically a garbage email identity and that may be causing the issue as well. To answer your other question, we set up RR to forward all your RR POP email directly from webmail.carolina.rr.com’s settings under forwarding.
