I am trying to set up my SE K700i to download mail from my Virgin Net account. I have attempted to set up the account under the E-mail section of Messaging but I keep getting the message Finding Server which just stays there until I press Cancel. Does anyone know if its possible to set up this phone so that Virgin Net mail will download to it ? Many thanks in advance.

Might be worth posting your settings so that any other virgin.net users can check them out. Obviously don't post usernames and passwords though...

I know that on 02, I had to change the outgoing server address from my ISP (in my case Eclipse internet) to 02's own smtp server. You may wish to try that. You'll need to find out the appropriate address for Vodafone. You never know, Vodafone may have blocked the facility to receive email, they seem to like messing around with SE handsets!

PS. Ignore the last sentence, I was just being cynical....

I changed the outgoing server to send.vodafone.net which seems to be their server according to their vodafone live website but still the problem occurs. I'll have another look on their website and see if I can find any tips - I used to be able to connect to Virgin mail via T-Mobile no problems so can't understand why Vodafone would be different !

Yes they do. I have a virgin account on my handset as we speak.
pop.virgin.net is correct. You do need the voda smtp server if using gprs to send mails. You maybe using a wap gprs account. I know with orange there is a wap & gprs account/apn.
Ring voda, they should be able to help
