Just got off the phone with t-mobile usa - I have a t610, I can receive my pop3 but send fails everytime. The tech said they don't support that feature at all - you have to access their e-mail through t-zones - which is web based and a pain in the butt! In other words, they are saying that you cannot use the e-mail app built in to the phone, they don't suppor it.

I'm bummed, what a cheezy way of supporting e-mail.

Yep! They told me the same. Not sure why that is. Must be so they make more money on data! This message was posted from a T300

In the UK we are charged approx 30p-40p per message sent (on Vodafone it's 36p) and I don't think there's a charge to receive them. It is SCANDALOUS that we can't view attachments through the SE email client (can you do it on the Siemens?) also my Vodafone email (myusername@vodafone.net) doesn't seem to convert emails to MMS... converts text to voice, gives the option to 'print to fax' but not convert to MMS :-l also when you send an MMS to an email address they can't reply to the sender :-l This message was posted from a T610

@jeffu, try this:

These are the options you should have on the E-mail client in your T68i. Mine are filled out with the equivalent settings and work fine. I suppose you read the other links I gave you about SMTP authentication, so you know that you'll probably need the IP address of your GPRS provider's SMTP server. If this doesn't work, you could try the E-mail configurator at the website, or as a last resort give your provider a call.

1 Connect using (your GPRS account)
2 Protocol (POP3)
3 Inc. server (pop.phreaker.net) Maybe better to have IP address.
4 Incoming port (110)
5 Mailbox (ryanzb)
6 Password (*******?)
7 Outgoing server (GPRS provider's SMTP server IP address)
8 Outgoing port (25)
9 E-mail address (ryanzb@Phreaker.net)
0 Download (Headers + text)
From name (your name)
Signature (your business card)
Copy outgoing (On or Off)
Check interval (up to you)

I hope this helps.

just resurfacing this from an old post. i personally havent tried this bec. i find it easier to go to my pc and check my mail there. @ least its easier to sort through junk mail, and attachments. also takes the load off my GPRS budget.

It's not T-Mobile's fault, but the email client on the phone. Most SMTP servers require password authentication which the phone does not support. If you find a server that doesn't, you'll be able to send. This message was posted from a T68i

@North ~ Hmmm, you're talking about MMS are you not? Don't know about you but on Orange it costs me about 1p for 2KB of GPRS data to send/recieve POP3 mail. ^_^ ~Eva This message was posted from a P800

jeffu,

I too am on T-mobile usa - and got the same runaround - did not even get the definitive answer you got.

Anyway i have figured it out on my t68i and here is what you do:

get an account on xmbox.com (free and special on at the moment of $4 once off for 50Mb (yep thats right) POP3 account for life).

then you configure the phone with incoming and outgoing servers as mail.xmbox.com, and your username/password as set up on xmbox.com.

It works great (although sometimes takes a while to connect). I think it's digraceful of T-mobile to not support this phone - after all amazon and other resellers sell the phone with T-Mobile service. They also say they don't support all t-zones on the t68i - ridiculous.

Anyway try the above. Feel free to email me if you have problems.

hotpop.com pop3 1mb is free and you can pay for more. I used it works realy well, still have to go through t-zone though. Might as well just use mms it faster and you still get charged the same

How do you delete the email account that has been created? I have a Nokia 6610 w/T-Mobile. I could not figure out how. Anybody knows?

No one thought about using t-email for your emails, i do and it works fine. Pop3 address is pop3@t-email.co.uk and smtp is smtp@t-email.co.uk the rest is your user details :-) This message was posted from a T610
