Lets get this old email lark out the way once and for all.
As the email client on the T68i is Temperamental does anyone know of a wap email site that allows you to add attachements?
I'm sure there would be lots of us out there taht would be interested
Posted by slattery69
not sure but what problems are you having with email using your t68i.
do you use dailup or gprs and what network are you on.
might be able to help if you
Posted by Bradders
If you could help Slattery69 it would be appreciated.
Im on T Mobile and everytime I try to send messages using the email client it comes up with message failed. I have tried lots of different IP addresses. Im accessing using wap rather than GPRS as my tarif doesnt support this.

i use freeserve and am on orange but a lot of this should work just requires the t mobile settings.
i will assume that you can reveice emails as you say that you cant send.
had a similar problem myself,as long as your other settings are right i.e you are using the correct server numbers ie. inc sever-195.92.195.154 ( this is the freeserve incoming server number)
however dont use this number for the out going server you have to us the mobile providers number ie 193.35.131.155 (this is oranges number) FOR THE OUT GOING SERVER.
sorry dont know t mobiles but they will.
you say you are using wap are you using the isp dail up number as this could be important if you are not using gprs.
if you try to connect using your t mobile wap setting you wont be able to.
hope this helps a little bit

Your WAP GSM data account is fine for sending and receiving emails. The problem that you have is that your SMTP server is wrong.
Try smtp.t-email.co.uk or 213.205.145.201

I dont believe it
Getting the message server not found constantly. Whats happening NOW?
The outgoing server details mentioned by Phil n worked fine.
What should I have as the incoming server? any suggestions.
Anyone managed to locate a wap site that allows email attachments?

They are actually the same server
IP addresses are much better to use in phones than the text name.
For your incoming mail server I dunno, you haven't posted which email provider you are using. Start by trying the servers IP address - connect to the internet on your computer, go to the command prompt and type "ping [mail server]" (sans quotes) and the IP address which comes up is the one you want.
Let us know how it goes.

Phil.

your incoming mail server should be 216.136.173.10
your outgoing server should be 213.205.145.201
Your login name should be your Yahoo ID, example: phil@yahoo.com
your password should be your Yahoo password
Regards,
Phil.
Edit: i think the username should be your yahoo ID without the @yahoo.com part.

Www.yourwap.com 4mb space accesible from wap&web. Read there about the wap adress and u can attach a max of 1mb into each email.
Posted by flaminglips
Cn u post d out/incming server of yourwap.Com tia
Posted by phil.n
edited. yourwap looks like a wap site for sending and receiving emails from your ISP email accounts. To set up your email do it directly through your ISP, not yourwap.com.
Suggest you start a new thread if you want help with this.
Regards,
Phil.

If you get/have gprs, you can usually get away with keeping your existing gprs data account or copying it & adding new e-mail accounts to connect via that profile - I added a new pop3 account yesterday by going to message >> e-mail >> options >> edit account & add new.
then edited the account:
connect using - bluyonder grps data account >>
protocol - pop3 >>
inc server - pop3.blueyonder.co.uk >>
port - 110 >>
mailbox - my mail user name >>
password - my mail password >>
outgoing server - smtp.blueyonder.co.uk >>
port - 25 >>
address - me/you/us/them@blueyonder.co.uk >>
download - headres only or both >>
from name - thats easy >>
no signature >>
copy outgoing - nope >>
check interval - I have this switch off - or T68 will dial/connect every now & then & my network charge me for the pleasure.
The good thing about pop3 is that most of the above stays the same - such - the ports are (usually) the same, as are the incoming & outgoing servers - they are always pop3.serviceprovider.com & smtp.serviceprovider.com
pretty easy really

Just to comment on what you have said...
GPRS is fine as long as it is a data APN because most wap APNs wont allow you to connect to mail servers.
If you are using a non ISP email account then the incoming and outgoing mail servers are the same as you would use in outlook e.t.c.
If however you are using an ISP email account it is very unlikely that you will be able to access the smtp server. Instead you need to use the smtp mail server of your service provider.

Phil.

I would like to add that one of the best online email services that I have seen yet has to be www.softhome.net
There you can setup a web based email account, then enter the details of the servers and ports it gives after registration into your phone. Connect using whoever or whatever you want WAP or GPRS and hey presto you have email that allows you to send and recieve email including attachments.
-----------------
Connect using - T-Mobile WAP Dial-up
Protocol - POP3
Inc. Server - mail.softhome.net
incoming port - 110
mailbox - Softhome username (Everything you specified before the @)
Password - Self Explanitory
outgoing server - mail.softhome.net
outgoing port - 25 or 2500 or 25000
email address - username@softhome.net
download - Headers and Text
Have fun people.
