From a post by altemyr in the 'technical' forum
It's definitely an operator dependant problem. The email client in the K800 seems to send username and password to the SMTP server regardless of whether there is a username and password filled in or not, and there is no way of telling the client not to send username and password. The smtp server I'm told to connect to, does not want the user validation and obviously, its response is interpreted by the K800 as "Invalid username or password".
A workaround is to choose another email provider, I found one which is free of charge and who has an SMTP server that does require user validation, and using that server, I can send emails with the K800. The only problem with that server is that it's very slow, it can take up to 24 hours for an email to reach its recipient.
I have emailed both SE and 02 about this issue but haven't yet had a response from either...
I'm not sure it's an operator issue, I think more of a handset issue. Mine was working perfectly until I changed handset. No change to mobile provider or ISP.

Only some email providers will allow email to be picked up from your mobile. On most you have to have a Premium email account and not the basic one.
I would check with your email provider first, if I was you.
e.g. I found out that O2 don't allow basic email to be picked up on their PAYG handsets.
Although, O2 will allow upgraded email to be sent to contract phones.
Check with your provider.

Some o2 brande handset's may not allow email, but most handset's from other place's as cpw provide generic model's..all the phones ive had from o2 (cpw etc) have been easy for email..

02 data support eventually responded to my email, but simply attached the general email settings that we're all fully aware of. I've replied explaining that my phone already has these settings and I've attached altemyr's suggestion as to what the problem is.

I'm from Sweden and use K800 and using network Telia. I have
got the installation from their home page and I use incoming email
as gmail.com och MUST use outgoing Telia's own.
Incoming email woks OK but I have the problem with receiving. It will talk about something TLS/SSL problem even if I not use that in outgoing.
(Note incoming gmail use SSL)

I find Gmail very unreliable on the K800i. Sometimes i'm able to send, other times i can't. Receiving is no problem though.

I'm fairly sure hotmail still don't have a pop3 server, not even the paid service last time I looked, and SE phones don't support HTTP mail, so the only alternative is to use a 3rd party service that bridges this connection, if you trust giving your hotmail account details to them that is...

Perhaps a solution for the problem with outgoing POP/IMAP already has been posted (the "invalid username or password" response)?
I finally got it to work...
The problem seems to be DNS related. When using IP-address instead of DNS name for the outgoing server it works fine for me.
You donīt need to set any user+pwd under advanced settings either (the outgoing username and password both blank).
For those in Sweden using telia.com as E-mail provider the outgoing POP/IMAP server (mailout.telia.com) has the IP-address 81.228.11.34. Try this and it works - at least it did for me!

Thanks for the reponse guys - i'll check with my provider.
Don't forget that when you enter your username on the
site that this is just the
first half of you email address.
I had the settings sent to my phone today and it works fine - well almost.
