I'd like to access my pop box through GPRS, i have tried everything...
even called up o2 to ask them if i needed special settings.
I KNOW my pop3 settings are right, they work fine everywhere else.
Anyone got this working? or can give me IP for "internet APN" to use?
Thank you

DUDE, i want my pop thru wap but 02 told me i had to have it thru gprs!! i wish they would make their minds up! oh yeah, whenever i get through to them on the phone, their systema are always down so they cant help me!

You have to contact O2 and ask them to enable the data APN on your account. Remember that this APN often costs more than the wap one and you can only have one APN setup on your account at once so you cannot use the data apn for email and the wap one for wap browsing.

I tried to use email through o2 (been using them for 3years btw lol) i get the same message- cannot find server. The thing is i have free GPRS on my pay and go sim lol, so by using email, i can not only send and recieve messages fo free, but also upload my pictures to my pc via email as attachments. 02 GET UR ACT TOGETHER!!!!!

I'm on o2 pay as u go and can use pop3 via dial up or gprs using an o2 mail account the settings are posted on another thread :-D
Posted by tom_fun
which thread! i need help!
Posted by ripkord
This is ow you do it (after much talking to o2.... lol)
go to main menu > connectivity > data comm > data accounts
you'll probobly only have 2 accounts, depending on what you have set up, for most itwill be o2 GPRS and o2 MMS
so click new account... call it Mobile web
APN = mobile.o2.co.uk
user ID = web
pass = web
DNS address = 193.113.200.200
dont change any of the other settings.....
then set up your mail server as described in the sticky thread and it will work now !! (providing tou connect through the newly created "mobile web" thing
dont know why this hasnt been posted before

I'm glad i came in this topic, i never knew gprs was free. I changed it to gsm as room as i got my phone. Now i have 29 days to get my O2 email settings on gsm and gprs. :-) do you have the pop and smtp ip numbers?
Posted by ripkord
GPRS isnt free, its charged based on how much you download and its about 3.70 a meg.
the various pop3 settings are found in the sticky one level up.
those of you who get free gprs on PAYG, thats about to change.

Thanks for all the above, I can now check my NTLWorld e-mail from my T610. Unfortunately, as the phone doesn't have any SMTP authentication, I can't send e-mail via my ISP.
Does anybody have an address for an 02 SMTP server I could use?
Posted by BOSSHOGG
O2 smtp 193.113.160.13 this works on T68i bunot my t300:-( any help? As for my pay and go gprs, i check my balance every log out, just incase:-D
Posted by tcb198
That IP works fine from my T610 with the 'mobile web' settings above. I can't see why it wouldn't work exactly the same on a T300...

No fair:-( with these settings >mailbox-myemailadress@o2.co.uk >inc server-195.92.193.154 >out-193.113.160.13 >email ad-same as mailbox All i get is wrong mailbox or password, yet it all works find on a T68i:-(

Posted by BOSSHOGG
Woohooooo! I changed the incoming server to 193.113.160.13 same as outgoing and it works fine, now i have 29 days of free email attachments with my camera:-)
Posted by BOSSHOGG
Tcb, do you work for O2 or something? My gprs has suddenly stopped working on O2 pay and go:-( it won't in by the loading screen. Back to gsm for me.
Posted by BOSSHOGG
Phew must have been an error at O2's end. It's back on now.
Posted by tcb198
lol, no, I definitely don't!
Just out of curiousity, how long does it take your phone to look up the server and check for mails? Mine seems to take ages -- about 30 seconds (okay, so that's not ages, but it does seem like a while).

Hi,
I have the same problem with my t610 using the dutch t-mobile.
I couldn't get it to work with T-mobile wap.
So I set up a free internet account, as it was suggested on sonyericsson.com.
After that I tried to set up my phone with the email-configurator on sonyericsson.com.
Without any succes.....
Is it possible to check my mail using WAP?
Or can I use any internet dail-up account on my phone??
I'm happy with my phone but i really want to email!!!
Thanking in advance.

Hey 2manydjs, 1st u want to make sure that T Mobile NL has correctkly installed ur gprs actief or intensief. Without that, you CANNOT use the email function on the phone (in the msgs menu). That is because T Mobile conveniently blocks it
Check the T Mobile thread in the regional section for common problems installing gprs accounts
Good luck (oh and btw if and when you get it right, please do share your settings with us)

Thanks vlammetje!
Does this mean I can only email using GPRS?
Posted by Vlammetje
According to the T Mobile Customer Service desk, only via gprs. I really don't know why. Anyway in my case it doesn't work AT all.
Posted by 2manydjs
I don't want to use GPRS!! Dammit....
I got to find a way to use GSM instead of GPRS.
Vlammetje; ik kan niet echt wat vinden over emailen in het nederlandse forum.
Doelde op iets specifieks of gewoon algemeen?
Posted by Vlammetje
Nee algemeen. zal vanavond thuis wel eens kijken of im de nare email van T Mobile nog bewaard heb. Dan moeten we maar even puzzelen. (ik vecht al maanden tegen ze)
Atm I can only check my email thru wap browser using gsm (and gprs) but it seems unfixable in the messages menu
. I don't want to purchase the xtra subscription, coz gprs works on my account anyway. Why should i pay more?
Posted by TPKing
I don't think Blueyonder has a APN for GPRS
I just dial into their local server (to me) and just download the emails through WAP. Why do u need GPRS anyway ??? u only download txt and (for me anyway) the cost is on my free mins
Posted by ripkord
um, did you actually read my post?
you can collect your mails quickly thru GPRS with the settings i posted, or you can do it that way, which is sllloooooowww but free.

I'm trying to configure my T68i to access my IMAP mail (not O2 mail, but another server which I access using the same settings every day from my PC) and am having no luck at all.
Those settings dont seem to work for me, I'm on the pay and go talkalot tarrif. If I use mobile.o2.co.uk it says its an invalid APN. If I use payandgo.o2.co.uk but with username "web" and password "web", it says "GRPS request rejected". If I use the GPRS account I was set up with, which works for normal wap browsing it won't connect to my mail server, using hostname or IP address.
Has anyone else using Pay and Go managed to get it to work?
