Hi, my 1st post here (GREAT Forum!).
Is anyone successfully using pop3 email across GPRS on Vodafone with the T68i?
I can browse using GPRS ok, and send/rcv email using a GSM account linked to Virgin.net, but cannot at all get pop3 email of any kind working across GPRS.
I presume it would have to be a Vizzavi Email account (?), but from what I can see theres is a Web Based email, which I can't send my pictures from the T68i with.
ANY help would be gratefully received...

Yes but you need to be on gprs price plan 1 or up search the forum for the settings

Thanks for the reply...
So where it says "20. To access the Internet via GPRS, you must be connected to GPRS1 or higher." In the Vodafone Guide, also means to use pop3 email you must be using GPRS1 price plan etc etc...
This is interesting as i spent two hours on the phone yesterday, being told there is a fault, and I SHOULD be able to use pop3 email, and also was told in the shop when I bought my new phone that it would work.
I suppose the benefit to using GSM email is that I can use my inclusive minutes to send/receive email, but would GPRS pop3 email be any faster...?
(This wasn't sent using a T68i)

Having worked in a call centre and a electronic retailer i know it is totally useless asking them anything no training crap pay lucky if they know what day it is. Definitly get gprs faster and cheaper

Another thing they dont tell you the gprs Wap gateway is limited to d/l of 3k try asking that and see what they say duh ...

What does that mean?
BTW, I now have Vizzavi pop3 email working via GSM, but I can't send myself an email to my @vizzavi.net address...! (I can send from it ok!)

Basically if you want to download a theme or an image you are limited to 3k file size via Vodafone GPRS and GSM wap.
How do you mean? Does the mail send ok or can you not get it on your phone? if it is the second check your settings.

Here are the settings courtesy of 'pete' in another topic. I couldnt be bothered writing it myself.
Start off by creating a new data account:
- In the CONNECT menu goto DATA COMM. select DATA ACCOUNTS then ADD ACCOUNT
- select GPRS data, and enter a name (say 'GPRS Email')
- input 'internet' (lowercase) for the APN
- input 'web' (again lowercase) for USER ID
- input 'web' (again lowercase) for password
then save and return to the main menu.
Here's the Vizzavi setup:
- Go to MESSAGES-OPTIONS-EMAIL-EDIT ACCOUNT-ADD NEW
- Enter an account name (anything - its only for identification)
- select CONNECT USING and GPRS EMAIL (or whatever name you gave the account in the Data accounts menu)
- enter the POP3 server name 62.213.128.80 for vizzavi (or whatever other you use, eg. i use mail.totalise.co.uk)
- the POP3 PORT should be set at 110
- enter your mailbox name (everything before @ in your email address)
- enter your password
- enter the SMTP server 62.213.128.92 for vizzavi (or use your own, eg. i use mail.totalise.co.uk)
- set the SMTP PORT to 25
- enter your whole email address in EMAIL ADDRESS
- enter your FROM NAME and SIGNATURE
Wehey! almost there!
Set your email account to default if you want to run just the one account, but you can use more than one:
- Go to MESSAGES, OPTIONS, EMAIL, SET ACCOUNT and highlight the appropriate account and select
And that should be it!
Let me know how you get along
Pete
Hope that fixes it for you.

Reason: Remote SMTP server has rejected address
Diagnostic code: smtp;550 5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias:
Thats what I get when I try emailing my phone...

yeah im having the same trouble, but i cant even recieve an e-mail to my vizzavi account on the internet let alone the phone, there must b a problem with vizzavi. I have tried sending e-mails from my NTL account and my Hotmail account and both times they return an undelivered notice, with the same message dan gets. We may have to contact vizzavi to find out wot the hells going on.

Yes I have the same problem Stevo, I have it working now using pop3 from Virgin.net, smtp from Vizzavi, and dialing using Vizzavi GSM Wap settings.
I was just gonna use Virgin.net and dial there 0845 number, but in July these numbers can no longer be used with your inclusive minutes, so it has to be Vizzavi that I dial...
Attachments can be sent ok using this method, but Vodafone tech support didn't beleive me...

Stevo etc,
I had a similar problem with Vizzavi and it turned out that if the email sent to your Vizzavi account was constructed as an 'html' email, the Vizzavi WAP email server does not deal with it. If the email is constructed as 'plain text' it is fine. Mind you I was accessing my Vizzavi email account using WAP. Dunno if this is the same problem that you-all are having but just thought I'd mention it.

All of a sudden I can't seem to access my Vizzavi e-mail from my T39......have checked all the settings and they seem to be ok......including IP addresses (as per 'Lucky' 16/06/02)....any chance the IPa's have changed?....or has this something to do the 'merger' of Vizzavi with Vodafone?......will contact both but don't hold out too much hope....can anyone help?
