I've just got my T68i and am trying to get emails working.
I used the Sony configurator from their web site, but I can't receive emails... I can send them though.
When trying to receive the phone says:
Finding server
Connecting
Finding server
Receiving mails
(GPRS session details because the session ends)
No new mails
I know that there are emails waiting because I sent them, and I get an SMS alert from Orange to tell me I have mail waiting.
Anybody got any ideas why that is? If the mailbox settings were wrong I wouldn't be able to send (or would I?)

Hello -
I use GPRS on Orange to access my emails - do you want to try a manual configuration? If so, post an email address and i will send them to you.

Englishman abroad - my email is chucky.egg@yarrannabbee.co.uk it'd be great if you could send over the settings.
I have looked at other posts here and found a complete set, which I'm using but still cant receive.
I've tried 156, but after 20 minutes my son woke up so I had to hang up!
Thanks
Chucky

Ring156 later on-did u check user name/password ? As i said b4
Posted by chucky egg
Yeah, i've checked all my settings. Even deleted and started again from scratch... same problem.
I've noticed the "Receiving mail" progress abr does move across the screen up to about 10% but then disappears again before it says "No new mails"
I'll call 156 again, but if ENGLISHMANABROAD can send me the details I can check them against what I'm using.
BTW - I've read that Orange are closing their ISP. Can anyone confirm that, or say what will happen to email addresses and SMS alerts?

Yeh orange r closing their isp dial up number-ul have to use gprs instea to download ur emails-the text alerts wil carry on as they are part of orange dot net
Posted by wapchimp
And ur email addres is a part of orange dot net aswel so they r safe-orange isp is like aol for example-thats what is closing

Thanks for that
Exactly what I already had... bugger!
I have the "lost data accounts" problem (keeps reverting to Vodafone) so I'll try to find out from Orange if there's another problem with this.
I have Orange Care (phone insurance) on it, so if all else fails...

Orangeman...on the subject of GPRS, do you know whats happening with the billing problems?...are they getting it sorted, or just gonna opt for a fixed fee, unlimited usage like what Mobile News mentioned might happen?!
Posted by wapchimp
Duno mate - havnt heard anymore - careful though ul can stil b billed-thex wil b releasing an 'unlimited' gprs bundle for wap only
Posted by wapchimp
Y does it go back to voda-do u have a sim free phone? Cos orange wont cover that under care
Posted by chucky egg
Orangeman- I bought the handset from an Auction, but have spoken to Orange and asked them to add it to my Orange Care.
Because I only use Orange nowadays it doesn't matter to me if they supplied an orange-locked handset.

Chucky - hope you got the email settings I sent you -sorry if you are still having problems. Gents, just had my T68 upgraded form R2E006 to R2F004. I am afraid that it hasn't changed the issue with lost Data accounts when you turn the phone on / off. Real dissapointed there. Guess that I will just have to live with it

Damn...just wap!...so no P800 unlimited fun!
