you might check and see if the ports needed by email are blocked by your router or firewall or whatever you are using

I'd assume not, since I can send and receive email on my laptop, using the same home network and the exact same email configuration without any problem.

That is bizarre.
If you go to a command prompt and
Ie just telnet to the port you are using for email, can you get there? What protocol are you using? imap, imaps, pop, pops?
If you go to a command prompt and
Code:
telnet <server> <port>

Try that tutorial there for running your mail server through it's paces. If you can get in, you should be fine. If you can't read mail via telnet, then you have other issues.

I just figured out what was going on. I can't get email over any form of secure wireless, even if I've put in the password and can download web pages, application updates, youtube videos, and everything else normally. This includes getting email over my home network.
However, when connected online via any unsecured wireless router, I can send and download email normally.
Does anyone have any idea how I might find a way to download my email on secured wireless and most specifically on my home (WPA secured) wireless network.
From the last time, it looked like you were having authentication problems. That shouldn't change whether wireless security is on or off at a specific location.
Have you tried turning WPA off at home and seeing whether it works without it? Or are you comparing two different locations, one unsecured and the other with WPA? It may not be the security setting that is the issue in that case.

When you are on "unsecured routers" you are actually changing two things, so you need to identify which of the changes is influencing the problem.
You are changing (1) the wifi encryption and (2) the entire network you are connecting through
Once you have established a connection to a wifi router, you can either pass traffic or not - this is a "layer 2" connection, and so cannot conceivably impact specific protocols (at layer 3) and let others through.
So option (2) is far more likely, that something within your home network is blocking access - and somehow blocking it only for the netpad instead of the laptop.
One way to confirm this would be to temporarily switch off wpa/wep at your router and see whether email gets through.

Currently on this network, we have two wirelessly connected laptops & one cable connected desktop (all running XP), and all of them can get email perfectly well. I can also do web browsing on my n810 perfectly well. The only thing that I can't do is get my email on this network.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm completely baffled.
