Samsung Galaxy/talktalk probs SENDING emails

[loverseed1]

hello, i don't know if i'm doing this right but here goes

I've been reading a lot on these forums about problems with talktalk email addresses and trying to send emails.
I've tried doing changing my smtp setting to send.vodafone.net, as suggested somewhere on android forum in a thread, which the phone accepted.
But when I actually composed and sent and email it 'failed' and says '530 authentication required'. Does anyone know what that means?
Hope I'm not already repeating someone else's question.
Hopefully, ...

Regarding your question, in the advanced settings of the email setup should be an option that says "SMTP Server Requires Authentication" which may ask for username/password again. See if that option is there while setting up your email address.

Just curious, what is talktalk? Also I am assuming Vodafone (as your SMTP states) is your cell carrier?
