Sending mail while connected via mobily connect

Setting up an email account in outlook (or any email client) for an STC DSL connection or Mobily Wimax is straight forward. But with mobily connect, it is not so obvious.

I googled a lot to find out the smtp settings for mobily connect, but seems the tunnel is long as I haven't seen the light yet!

But the googling took me to this page where a workaround is describe and it works like a charm. The stunnel.conf I used is different than the one described in the page. I used the following:

client=yes
[smtp]
accept = 25
connect = smtp.gmail.com:465


Please note to keep the
client=yes
line at the very beginning of the .conf file.
