No is the answer to almost all your questions.

No, you can't use mail.gmail.com as the outgoing mail server on your bigpond account.

No, you can't send as your bigpond address from a Gmail account via the iPhone interface, although you should be able to do it using the Gmail app (there is an official one) or the Gmail web interface.

By far your best option is to setup a Gmail or Google Apps account, and check your Bigpond account using this, and migrate across to the Google account.

Either that or have this conversation with Telstra, and see if they have a config that will work with other networks.

Wouldn't the easiest way to send an email from your Bigpond account while OS be to simply log in via your browser, in the same way you would log into hotmail, etc. sure it won't be as nice as using the app, but it will get the job done.

create a gmail account. in a full version browser (on your pc/mac) go to settings >> accounts and import, in gmail. set up your bigpond account in there.

gmail will automatically retrieve any of your bigpond emails sitting on the bigpond mail server.

set up your bigpond email as an alias in gmail. select 'reply from the same address email was sent to'

stick with the default settings for most things.

send and receive mail from anywhere anytime using gmail.

install gmail to your aidsphone.

google this shit. there are step by step guides. its simple. should take you 10 minutes.

i went further, and had my mail directly forward to gmail, and created filters whereby everything is labelled and sorted.

this removes the random refresh times you get when using non-gmail addresses in gmail.

but thats another story.

OR

do what marc said.

Are you using your SIM from oz or have you bought a SIM from there?

Unfortunately with bigpond, as Ryan mentioned, you cannot send emails, only receive them and creating a gmail account is the easiest way around it.

However,

There is one other way around it which can sometimes work. You'll need to make the outgoing server that of whichever network you are using overseas eg. If your phone is using a Vodafone server, change your outgoing server to smtp.vodafone.net.au (being overseas, the "net.au" bit will be different). Some networks like Optus change the "smtp" bit and use mail.optusnet.com.au.

Again, this may or may not work.

Bigpond is one of those ISPs that are dicky to use when you're overseas.

      From what I am discovering, the grey plug is auto signal. If you car is manual it's not relevant to your set up man.

      Yeah, but the country is turning to a bit of shite at the moment... (Majority of work is NZ'ers, and we have an office in NZ I deal with daily...)

      Trans oil cooler off a Stagea

      If it came off a Skyline you could easily have sold it for $500 to someone wanting OEM parts to return their car to stock. Not sure if that market is in the Stageas or not.

      It sounds "expensive" when compared to a mass produced tow bar that gets imported from China, but if that's all custom fabrication, then I think where you've ended up, it's a pretty good price! Considering some people will pay thousands of dollars for a few intercooler pipes to be welded up!

      I think modifying any car, has to be because you like it, OR, you have an end goal to do XYZ. EG, build the fastest VW Golf in the country etc. So, if you're not setting out to do crazy things like break a specific record, or replicate some certain car, then as mentioned above, find the car that you really like, and modify it. Why? Well, modifying any car isn't a sound logical thing to do it. You do it for the fun of it. And if you want it to be fun, you need to start with something you really like. For some, that would be something like an R34 because they saw one in The Fast and The Furious franchise, for others it'll be something entirely different for some other reason. For me personally, why am I here, nearly 20 years later? I loved cars, all cars, and I wanted a car that drove a certain way, I was about to drop the coin on modifying a VR Commodore (Because I grew up in a family that taught me Commodores were the only cars worth owning). And just before I did that, a friend handed me the keys to an R33 GTST he'd just bought that was pretty much bone stock, it drove EXACTLY how I wanted a car to. Nice handling, the right amount of straight line zoom zooms, and hell, I loved the way it looked. I looked at the R32, it wasn't for me, I looked at the R34, it wasn't quite for me either, mainly because they were too expensive  Price is also why I never bought a GTR back in the day. But I loved the curves of the R33 GTST, interior suited me over the R32, and wambam, thank you ma'am! I bought one. And in the essence of "return on investment" and "Sound financial planning", I've been making the dumbest mistakes ever since. Also, I know of a specific mortgage broker on these forums who has a very well modified R33 GTST making great power for the street and track... Then you could modify it with adding a Samsonas gearbox, Bosch motorsport ABS system, and go have some sick fun! Oh, and then you'll be able to help him get me my next mortgage, because that, like modifying a car, is probably a stupid financial decision for me at this moment the property I want...
