Re: ipad 3g
I have a similar problem with my lap top on 3g dongle when in Spain. My e mail is postoffice.co.uk. when I use outlook express I can recieve but not send e mail. I got around this by going onto the post office site itself fore mail and can both receive and send without any problem with that. I can only assume it has something to do with the co.uk and the fact that in Spain? but not sure. I was considering using an hotmail.com address but don't know if that would resolve problem. Matter resolved for me so try going from your mail providers own system.

Re: ipad 3g
The odd time that I have had a problem I have just deleted my account from the iPad and then set it up again and this seems to have sorted out the blockage.
my account is a .co.uk one and it generally works fine. But I have never used it in the UK so the default settings for it are the Spanish ones, which might make a difference.
If you can, try to set it up when it is connected via the wireless system as the download speeds are generally better and this might help it to set up correctly.
Sometimes, if I try to send an email with a large attachment the 3g doesn't manage it. But that is only occasionally.
Maybe someone a bit more tech savvy will be along shortly.
Good luck.

Re: ipad 3g
Some mobile operators disable anything other than their mail servers on their networks which enables them to spot spammers and shut them down.
