Hi, my 1st post here (GREAT Forum!).

Is anyone successfully using pop3 email across GPRS on Vodafone with the T68i?
I can browse using GPRS ok, and send/rcv email using a GSM account linked to Virgin.net, but cannot at all get pop3 email of any kind working across GPRS.
I presume it would have to be a Vizzavi Email account (?), but from what I can see theres is a Web Based email, which I can't send my pictures from the T68i with.

ANY help would be gratefully received...

Thanks for the reply...

So where it says "20. To access the Internet via GPRS, you must be connected to GPRS1 or higher." In the Vodafone Guide, also means to use pop3 email you must be using GPRS1 price plan etc etc...

This is interesting as i spent two hours on the phone yesterday, being told there is a fault, and I SHOULD be able to use pop3 email, and also was told in the shop when I bought my new phone that it would work.

I suppose the benefit to using GSM email is that I can use my inclusive minutes to send/receive email, but would GPRS pop3 email be any faster...?

What does that mean?

Basically if you want to download a theme or an image you are limited to 3k file size via Vodafone GPRS and GSM wap.

How do you mean? Does the mail send ok or can you not get it on your phone? if it is the second check your settings.

Here are the settings courtesy of 'pete' in another topic. I couldnt be bothered writing it myself.

Start off by creating a new data account:
- In the CONNECT menu goto DATA COMM. select DATA ACCOUNTS then ADD ACCOUNT
- select GPRS data, and enter a name (say 'GPRS Email')
- input 'internet' (lowercase) for the APN
- input 'web' (again lowercase) for USER ID
- input 'web' (again lowercase) for password
then save and return to the main menu.

Here's the Vizzavi setup:
- Go to MESSAGES-OPTIONS-EMAIL-EDIT ACCOUNT-ADD NEW
- Enter an account name (anything - its only for identification)
- select CONNECT USING and GPRS EMAIL (or whatever name you gave the account in the Data accounts menu)
- enter the POP3 server name 62.213.128.80 for vizzavi (or whatever other you use, eg. i use mail.totalise.co.uk)
- the POP3 PORT should be set at 110
- enter your mailbox name (everything before @ in your email address)
- enter your password
- enter the SMTP server 62.213.128.92 for vizzavi (or use your own, eg. i use mail.totalise.co.uk)
- set the SMTP PORT to 25
- enter your whole email address in EMAIL ADDRESS
- enter your FROM NAME and SIGNATURE
Wehey! almost there!

Set your email account to default if you want to run just the one account, but you can use more than one:
- Go to MESSAGES, OPTIONS, EMAIL, SET ACCOUNT and highlight the appropriate account and select

And that should be it!
Let me know how you get along

Pete

Hope that fixes it for you.
