Sending your grocery list to your phone: e-mail settings
As a follow up to yesterday’s post on sending your grocery lists to your mobile phone, here are below Shop’NCook e-mail settings for some main providers. I have written when the settings have been confirmed by users. If you know other working settings or if you confirm some unconfirmed ones, leave a comment below. I will be updating the list regularly.
You enter the e-mail settings in the E-Mail tab of the Preferences. If you cannot find the correct settings for your configuration, try the solution proposed here that should work for everybody.
Important note: After modifying the e-mail settings, you must restart Shop’NCook before sending e-mails.

I can confirm the att settings work for those with email addresses ending in @sbcglobal.net
Awesome- I love having the checkboxes on the phone. It was a pain to export the list to clipboard and then paste in a memo and sync the phone. This is so much easier.
Thanks for sharing.

I cannot get this to work at all. Which email should it be sent from?
I have an iphone I have gmail. gmail is on my phone as the mail client. I think the problem is the mail in the from but I could be wrong. I want to send it to gmail, but it doesn’t take any of my other email address like hotmail I just keep getting an error message.

Rebecca,
You should inputting the gmail settings exactly as above. Use for both the “From” and “To” e-mail addresses your gmail address.
After doing that, RESTART Shop’NCook before trying to send e-mail, otherwise it may still use the previous SMTP settings.

I have comcast for email. Followed the above recommendations, using the above (unconfirmed) settings and the email address I received from verizon (my cell phone), but still isn’t working. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.
