If your tablet supports ASMTP (A=Authenticated), then just use smtp.gmail.com. You can find the configs online.

Thank you for the response , i tried that with Port 25 and the Emails register as sent on the Tablet , however they are not being delivered to the recipient addresses. 

I sent tests to Gmail & a private domain and the emails weren't delivered.

So, forget traceroute. Just configure whatever to use that server on port 25.

Hi Guys , 

Has anyone successfully configured outgoing settings using an Airtel line ? 

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8000 . I have configured an email account from my private domain which is receiving mail however i cannot respond to any emails . I called Airtel support and was given the SMTP server as (gprsmail.ke.airtel.com) , Security Type : None Port : 587 . 

I get an error "unable to connect to email server to verify your account information no response from server" . I am able to receive mail but i cannot send mail . 

I did a trace of the SMTP Server and got this : 

C:\Users\Charles>tracert gprsmail.ke.airtel.com
