(**Long post, so please be patient)
I have been trying to set up Email with Voicestream and a Myrealbox.com email account. After chasing my tail for two days, gomichaelkgo, over at Tsixtyeight.com helped me to realize that I needed to set up a dialup account on my phone. That is why I could not access email. I used several posts. Two in particular. The first from CHiort in this forum:

Hello,
In order to do E-mail, you need to set up a dial-up data connection to your ISP.
You can NOT do the T68 E-mail function over GPRS. You need a circuit switched (CSD) connection.
This is a description on how to set up a CSD DATA ACCOUNT:
=============================================
Go to "CONNECT", "DATA COMM", "DATA ACCOUNTS","ADD ACCOUNT"
Account type: GSM data
Name: "VS CSD Data" or something like that
Phone no: +19132440821 ( THIS IS VOICESTREAMS ACCESS NUMBER AND WORKS FOR ANY POP MAIL. USE YOUR ISP NUMBER IF YOU WANT. THEN YOU NEED TO USE THE USER ID AND PASSWORD FOR YOUR ISP BELOW)
User id: wap
Password: (blank)
-----------
These are additional settings (accessible by editing the data account) that you have to monkey with to get it working. After you save and close, choose connect, data comm, data accounts, and then your CSD data account. Choose edit.
-----------
Password request: off
Data Rate: 9.6
Dial type: ISDN (I believe that when you create a new account it defaults to analouge, so you'll have to change this to ISDN)
DNS Address: 208.014.205.005
After this, you go in to "Messages", "Options", "E-mail", "Edit Account", "Add New"
Fill in the information for your POP3 mail account. Note that you need to use the IP ADDRESS of your mail server !!
Good luck !
