I'm trying to setup my T68i for POP3 email use on O2 UK GPRS.

I've got two email accounts I need to configure, one with Demon and the other with my web site host, Positive Internet. I can get both to work no problems using the "O2 WAP GSM" data account pre-configured in the phone so I know all my server, login etc. details are correct, but when I switch them to use the "O2 WAP GPRS" data account, neither works - it just dhoed "Finding server" for ages and then comes back with "Server not found". I know that GPRS is activated on my tariff because I can use WAP over GPRS with no problems.

Should I be able to collect my mail over GPRS from any POP3 server?
If not, what can and can't I do with email over GPRS?
If so, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance - I've tried searching the forum for answers to this but couldn't find anything exactly matching my query.

If O2 has another data account for you(another APN), please try to use that£¬ the right one for GPRS data, not for GSM WAP nor GPRS WAP. The account should also work for PC/PDA dial-up network.

I've cracked it!

After doing a bit more digging, focussing on the APN required (thanks to replies to my original post) I found a couple of useful pages on the web:

http://www.taniwha.org.uk/gprs.html
and
http://www.consumerdeals.co.uk/o2.html

It looks like the APN needs to be 'mobile.o2.co.uk', the user id is 'username' and the password is 'password'. After setting up a new GPRS data account and entering just these details I can now find my POP3 servers! Cool!

Hope this is useful to others having problems.
