I have a Verizon Jet Pack MiFi hot spot.....I receive emails just fine but it will not let me send emails. I wonder what I am doing wrong.

Your E-mail client is configured wrong. Try using your Mail service's web interface and dump the client off your computer.. Safer that way too since the web interface scans for malware.

I use a Samsung smart phone hotspot when we're on the road and it does exactly the same thing. Forces me to use browser access to send emails which works but isn't as convenient. I'll be watching to see the responses here..Dave

If outgoing emails are a no go you need to change the your outgoing mail (SMPT) server settings. The SMPT you are using is not accepting your outgoing emails.If you have a Gmail email address....Gmail SMTP Settings for Outgoing Mail:To send mail through Gmail from any email program, enter the following default SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server address information: Gmail SMTP server address: smtp.gmail.com Gmail SMTP username: Your full Gmail address (e.g., example@gmail.com) Gmail SMTP password: Your Gmail password Gmail SMTP port (TLS): 587 Gmail SMTP port (SSL): 465 Gmail SMTP TLS/SSL required: yesEither TLS or SSL can be used depending on your email client.

You can also use Samsung's mail app but it plaes in comparison to K9 Mail. When setting up use the other info I provided here or ask me for help and I will provide it here.

With a smart phone the way to go is to use an app like K9 Mail to send/receive emails. Very easy to set-up and the only way to fly when doing email. Of course, you could just use a GMAIL address and then use the GMAIL app which is a very decent offering.

I, myself, am not. Nor do I know the relative amounts of data used.

How much more data is transferred by webmail use is a function of the complexity of the webmail user interface, so it's difficult to put hard numbers on it without more specifics. The webmail UI data plus the email display data will always use more data than the raw email message alone though.

Or just use the web- based mail. Real easy.

Why, why would you even consider using web based email in regard to email (sending and receiving) on your smart phone. Makes no sense at all. Of course if you are clueless in regard to a smart phone, I guess you might consider doing so.

Sorry, confusion. I was (obviously) referring to using the Jetpack with a computer. But thanks for the insult.

Speaking of clueless... it's always funny when someone knows everything!

I am forced to use Outlook web mail to access my work email from my phone because the company I work for only supports iPhone and there is no support through our VPN for Android.

Just when you think you know it all...

Well, I still stand by my earlier comment as it pertains to pretty much everybody...

Have you asked Verizon about it?
