Ok, I have read through the most of the posts about setting up a mail account on a cell phone. I donīt get it to work and Iīm still unsure on this:
Is it possible to set up the same mail account which I got from my ADSL provider? You donīt have to explain the setup procedure - there are many posts about that - I just wanīt to know if itīs meaningless to continue trying. My phone is a T610 with Vodaphone 60 (the phone is not locked).

It's possible

What do you mean by ADSL provider mate? After a lot of messing around I managed to access my Orange.net email from my T610.

ADSL - Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (Broadband)
KungKrille probably means ISPs e-mail account...

If its pop3 then yes. I have orange.net and blueyonder. I use a gprs conection. But u can dialup via an isp.

I can send and receive my Orange.net pop3 email on my T610 using either GPRS or dial-up (using Freeserve anytime as the ISP).
Both work fine.

I ment an ordinary mail address like the one I have on my computer (which I got from Telia in Sweden). So itīs possible
I will continue trying then

@KungKrille
It might be helpfull to look through this
Posted by KungKrille
I have followed the excellent tutorial, but it must be something I have missed somewhere. Have to go through all settings again

Do you get error messages, or does it simply not work?
Posted by KungKrille
It cannot find the server. I have no DNS so I ran the command and typed in figures instead of letters for incoming and outgoing servers. Well, I mailed Vodafone about it and hopefully Iīll get a solution.

Remember that if you are using GPRS you need to use a data account with APN=internet. That means you have to have GPRS & internet access via GPRS activated for your account.
If you are using dial-up, the above does not apply...

yeah... I was thinking a bit more info on what he has done so far, error messages, carrier etc etc might get him a speedier result.
Posted by KungKrille
Itīs dial-up
Posted by wrath000
Are you sure the mail server is up and operational? Can you access it from your PC?
There is always a chance that they have limited the use of the server through their network only. You should check with your ISP

Ahh, didnīt think about that. I have better to call them then
