Hi Phil,
Ha ha, found it! The SMTP server needs to be 'smtp.vizzavi.net'!
On the other subject, I've confirmed with Vodafone that the T39 a/c is GPRS enabled. I'll need to go back to square-one RE: the configurator and GPRS data accounts.
Cheers,
Steven.

One last one for the mo' - this setup works for BTOpenworld too - so my theory of dialling in is shot; which makes sense too, since you access it via the WWW using LAN connections (e.g. from work).
Gonna post the details in the next thread along...

The T39m issue is still buggin' me!
I've checked all the settings, and as far as I can tell, they are the same as for my T68i.
The Vizzavi GPRS data account works for GPRS-wap
Editing the APN of the Vizzavi GPRS data account to 'internet', and setting the 'Connect using' in the email options to the edited data account just result in 'Connecting', 'GPRS parameters not supported', 'Connection failed'...
What *is* going on?
When I try and connect using the GPRS 'data' APN (wap.vodafone.co.uk), the phone searches for an age, and then gives up. I figure, for some reason, somehow, it doesn't understand the APN of 'internet', whereas the T68i does. Am I on to something here..?
I think I am - I've just set the APN to internet.vodafone.co.uk and it's tryinghard again...but failed.
So, the 'GPRS parameters not supported' error arises from an incorect APN DNS. For 'internet', what's the correct/full DNS?
Cheers,
Steven.

Have you tried swapping the SIMS between your phones? You can at least then check that it is not a problem with your account.

I haven't tried that yet. But why should it work; all the settings are phone- not SIM-specific; i'd just be using the T39's SIM in the T68i to use the settings in the T68i...

My thought was to verify that the service provider had set up the account correctly. You know the settings in the T68i work so that would be a good test.

Fair point - but the only thing the SP has to do is enable GPRS; wap works on GPRS so the problem must lie in the configuration. TH econfiguration is the same as that for the T68i....
The wife never uses the T39 for email so I don't even know why I'm bothering!

Best thing to do is use the sony ericsson configurator on the website, it sends you two messages and once done mine worked straight away. Better than messing with the settings yourself only to find "Finding Server" displayed forever and a day.

Thanks for this; tho' I've now long since sorted it all. Even now moved to a P800 and got that working a treat too! The Configurator gave mixed results with BTopenworld, and didn't provide any options for when I moved to ntlworld - hence the manual config.
The main issue when accessing freeserve/BTOpenworld accounts etc. is that they will allow you to use their POP3 server, but not their SMTP (outgoing) server (since you're not dialing them up and thus paying your way, as it were): the crux being to use an SMTP server provided by your service provider (e.g. for Vodafone GPRS - smtp.vizzavi.net/co.uk).
Anyhow, all cool and dandy!
Cheers,
Steven.

The real reason they do not let you use their SMTP server unless you have connected through their service is to prevent spammers from using it. The other way they can protect themselves is to use authentication on the SMTP server which can cause problems for some email clients.
Using the Vodafone network SMTP server is a good solution but it will fail if ever you need to connect the phone through a non Vodafone dial up account, such as Freeserve etc.
