> o2 email on a w900i, possible?
Bookmark topic
hi guys,
got a new w900i, using an orange sim in it (managed to get the phone unlocked+debranded).
tried to use the se configurator to get my o2 email working, but no joy. can't figure out how to do this manually ie where to put the settings+what settings i need..
has anyone tried to do this/can offer me advice on how to?
cheers

If you mean
yourname@o2.co.uk email on the w900i, i'm using it.
Here's my settings for messaging - email - settings -account settings ...
email address:
myname@o2.co.uk
connect using: the default wap GPRS account
connection type: pop3
-----------------------------------------
incoming server: mail.o2.co.uk
username:
myname@o2.co.uk
password: mypassword
download: headers only (just a personal preference to save data usage)
check interval: off (again just my personal pref)
----------------------------------------
outgoing server: smtp.o2.co.uk
username:
myname@o2.co.uk
password: mypassword
----------------------------------------
allow connection: any
your name: myname
signature: none
copy outgoing: off
encryption: off
incoming port: 110
outgoing port: 25
There you go
You might need to substitute the mail.o2.co.uk and smtp.o2.co.uk for the server's ip addresses instead of the names, depends how good your wap DNS is.

Thanks, that's definitely a help, the only problem is, is that , as you suspected i'm getting a "server not found error".
any idea how i would find the dns addresses?
cheers mate

Start menu - accessories - command prompt.
Type:
ping domainname
where domainname is the name of the server you want to know the ip address of, and it'll tell you in brackets the ip.
anyway i just pinged smtp.o2.co.uk and mail.02.co.uk, and they both resolve to 193.113.160.13.
so replace the mail.o2.co.uk and smtp.o2.co.uk in the incoming/outoging server settings above with "193.113.160.13" no quotes.
