I have tried everything I can think of without success. I saw a message that says the T68i may require an IP address instead of a text string for POP3 email accounts. However I believe the IP address is dynamic and not static.
Has anyone been successful in setting up a BTInternet or BTOpenworld email account on a T68i

Go to the SE website mate, They have a section for setting up email and BTinternet/openworld is included on the list

I can access my BT Internet account to receive mails, although only works on GSM, not GPRS, and as yet I haven't managed to get it to send mails. Still, if that's any use to you then try these settings
1. Connect Using: GSM (e.g. "O2 WAP GSM")
2. Protocol: POP3
3. Incoming Server: 194.73.73.90
4. Incoming port: 110
5. Mailbox: username@btinternet.com
6. Password: (whatever it is)
7. Outgoing Server: 194.73.73.90 (i've also tried 194.73.73.91 as someone else suggested but without success)
8. Outgoing port: 25
9. Email address: username@btinternet.com
0. Download: headers+text
From name: your name
that should do it..

@fbart What network are you on?
Posted by Dj Boyi
@fbart i'm on Orange but when i phoned BT they gave some correct settings but not all of them,try these settings,
1.connect using>>your vodaphone GPRS internet data account
2.protocol>>pop3
3.inc server>>mail.btinternet.com*
4.inc port>>110*
5.mailbox>>your username
6.password>>your password
7.outgoing server>>your vodaphone outgoing server
8.outgoing port>>25*
9.email address>>your email address
10.download>>headers+text
11.from name>>whatever
12.signature>>no signature
13.copy outgoing>>off
14.check interval>>off
I dont know if this will work as you are on broadband and may differ from dial-up as i am on with BT.
I have put a * next to the settings that BT gave me.
Ps.BritishTelecom told me to use>mail.btinternet.com>for outgoing server but it did not work,so when i phoned Orange they told me to use theirs(smtp.orange.net)then it worked.

Still no luck although I don't know what the outgoing serever for vodafone is. I tried smtp.vodafone.co.uk and wap.vodafone.uk and neither worked. I will look at vodafone site to see if I can find an outgoing server name

@fbart
Try this as your outgoing server:
212.183.156.228
Posted by Dj Boyi
@fbart try mail.btinternet.com for outgoing server,it works with mine now for some reason :-l
Posted by fbart
I am using all the parameters you have suggested except Iam not sure what 1. should be. I have tried Vodafone GPRS data account but it does not work. One additional issue is that for user name I am only able to put in firstname.lastname and not the whole firstname.lastname@btinternet.com because the T68i won't allow me enough letters. I come up one short but I can't imagine that this is causing the problem. When I use Vodafone GPRS it just timesout not being able to find server.
1.connect using>>your vodaphone GPRS internet data account
2.protocol>>pop3
3.inc server>>mail.btinternet.com*
4.inc port>>110*
5.mailbox>>your username
6.password>>your password
7.outgoing server>>mail.btinternet.com
8.outgoing port>>25*
9.email address>>your email address
10.download>>headers+text
11.from name>>whatever
12.signature>>no signature
13.copy outgoing>>off
14.check interval>>off

Aye, I have.
I done it by mistake when I tried to set up my e-mail on my t68i with orange. I was trying to recieve my orange mail, put in the wrong settings at the SE site and then I got my btopenworld mail.
All I done was go through the settings at the SE site and it was done. I use the 0845 BT option.
But I now can get my orange mail through BT through the t68i.
