Hi
I've just got myself a K800 and would like to be able to use the e-mail option (sending and receiving etc) using my Yahoo or Windows Live Mail account but am having problems after having the details sent to my phone.
I have been on the
website and followed the instructions to get the settings sent to my phone, yet when i try to send an e-mail it states that the username and/or password is invalid. I tried it for two separate e-mail accounts but got the same error message.
Could anyone point me in the right direction on what i need to do next or how i do the setup manually?
ps: I did a quick search before i posted but couldn't find a direct answer to what i was looking for (although im sure its out there, there are quite alot of posts
)
Thanx peeps

mate, go to sonyericsson's website...go to support...then click on email. it'll ask you to select model, country, network, then select provider...i'm on o2, so i selected o2. then it'll ask you to select a incoming email server..scroll down the list and select. then enter you username, followed by your password etc...then, finally, enter your mobile number..and send. settings arrive, install..and your done...

Yeh that's what i did which is why im pretty puzzled as to why its come up with the username/password incorrect error.
I have tried it a few times since and still get the same error which would lead you to beleive that im doing something wrong, but i don't see how i could be. I've definately got my username etc correct when inputting it.
Thanks for the reponse though guys. I will figure this thing out one day lol

skinbop,
There are a number of us having exactly the same issue as yourself. I've sent an email to 02 data support asking if they have any ideas. I tried calling, but when I wasn't being put on hold, I was being put through to the wrong department. I was eventually given a direct dial number for the data support team, but the number didn't work!
Of course I'll post as soon as (if) I get a response.

I too am finding this strange. I have plenty of experience setting the mail accounts for SE phones manually or over the air from SE, Orange or O2. No matter what I try, I cannot seem to get it to work. I would be interested to hear from those that have no connection issues what their software config details are - K800i on O2 (3G Sim not activated) - Software version CXC1250210 R1CB001; 060608 Sony Ericsson

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.

I am also unable to send e-mails from my k800 - receiving them no problem. In esttingsunder advanced settings, the outgoing username and password are both blank. Is that how it should be?
