Hi..
I have tried many times to set up email on the w890i, in vain.. I have gone through the thread that explains setting it up on another SE model. It simply does not work.
The 'finding server' screen comes up but it never connects and says "server not found".
I am using the correct data access point and the other internet functions are working ok.

I am currently using the gmail app to check mail but I'd very much like to do it from the phone's inbuilt email feature.

If there's anybody who has configured email on their w890, please help.

Just try googling for it... I think I have seen such a thing, but not sure it was for Gmail...

No luck. I'd tried it before too.
I've read that a few others are having this problem, but there's no mention of a solution yet.

Yet I find no widespread complaints, so it must mean that some people are getting it to work on their phones.

Anyone?

I have it set up on my w880i - I use the IMAP settings. The same settings that work on "O2 mobile web" don't work with other (PAYG) providers though - What network are you on?

I'm on vodafone. But I don't think that's the problem.
My phone is a completely unbranded phone.

It's not the branding that is the problem it's the mobile internet. For gmail to work, the port numbers they use have to work on Vodafones internet.

I don't have a Vodafone sim at the moment, otherwise I would give it a try.

the correct imap4 settings are,
server: imap.gmail.com
user:
password:
encryption: ssl
port: 993

if that does not work there is something wrong with your internet settings or phone, or you provider is blocking it somehow. Dont forget your web access goes through a proxy (normally) so while web access may work (including trackid which i think uses http) other tcp sockets may not work.

This and a correct/working Internet profile settings will solve your problem imo.
