Does anyone know what the settings are For hotmail with the provider proximus??
Posted by Brisefer
Hello,
I am trying the same thing with YAHOO and HOTMAIL from Belgium, Proximus(operator).
I called the helpdesk of Proximus and
1. They don't understand what I am speaking about POP3 on My gsm ! LOL
2. They said that the POP3 via GPRS don't work.
Me, when I am trying, I always have the same message: Server not found
I am trying to contact Mobistar, the other big operator here in Belgium for more informations... I will post the result !
If you have more informations, I am interesting...

Yep, same here, send 5 emails but they don't respond. I'm still trying and keep you informed

I found out there is no need to phone Proximus or Mobistar on these "complicated" subjects
(You could as well ask my 5 jear old kids
is the answer you will get in both cases)
First try to put in the IP adress and not the name.
this already helps a lot in most cases.

Hello herboan,
I already tested the with the IP.
But that don't work better. Same message !
I see that you are from belgium, do your T68 use Pop3 in belgium ?
I yes, how do you do that ?

I didn't think that Hotmail supported pop3 email, and also that only yahoo.com (US yahoo) supports pop3, none of the others. I think that you can access them both on wap. If they do work with pop3, I'd be interested to know.

Hello,
For Hotmail, I hate it now. I was using it in the past. So I don't know if there is POP3.
For Yahoo, (I love it), there is a wap site in english and an other one in french.
I use it(french) via my wap(gprs) and it work VERY fine. A lot of options...
But, what I am trying is to use it via POP3.
And there, that don't work.

hello Brisefer
Yes I use Pop3 but via a freemail account and via Mobistar. This works very good and has an advantage:
You can apply filters and do not download thinks you do not want or need. -)
Posted by Brisefer
Huummm so with Mobistar that work.
Did you test with a yahoo account ?
What do you mean by "freemail" ?
Thanks,
Brisefer

By freemail I mean as example www.gmx.net
have a look at http://www36.gmx.net/de/cgi/login
POP3-Server: pop.gmx.net
Mail-Server or SMTP-Server: mail.gmx.net
Give it a try and tell me if there are problems
Posted by herboan
and by the way I forgot to mention that I do not want all this spam from Yahoo on my T68

Hello,
Ok, I tested GMX.
But it's just a Freemail account like Yahoo.
I prefer 1000x Yahoo. But it's a choice.
I have the same error message with GMX.
The Freemail account is not the problem. The problem is with the operator. It seems that Proximus don't accept POP3 via GPRS. And if POP3 work fine on your phone with GMX, it's MOBISTAR who accept POP3.
Could you please test with a yahoo account?
http://www.yahoo.fr or
yahoo.com
And what (humm abonnement?) do you have with mobistar ? How do you pay for GPRS ?
Thanks in advance,
Brisefer

I will give yahoo a try if i find time and for the subscription to Mobistar I have
an ordanary account with multinumbering (Voice, Fax and data Nr on the SIM card) and I am currently negotiating with them for GPRS
They want 90 € a month including 50 MB
I offer 9 € including 5 MB
lets see

To Mmi1973
Could you pls translate to English. I might be able to guess what you wantto say but I have my doubts that everyone in this forum is flemish speaking.
Posted by Mmi1973
i said " so the settings for proximus and hotmail are...???"
They say it's easy to do but i don't manage to do it.

if you get "server not found" when reading your email it's because you are using your telecom's WAP APN settings, instead you should use your provider's computer,www or email APN settings.
p.s. I don't think email works with version R1B at all. so upgrade your software as well.

If you call proximus customer services ask for Marleen, she's really helpful and probs the smartest person there

Last time I was 1h on the phone for the gprs settings to browse the internet from a computer with a P800 trough Bluetooth ...
Don't even think about sending an email ... I made a bet a while ago with a friend that if proximus send me again a dumb answer ( long discussion with them trough email -> took 5 emails to say that my gprs roaming wasn't activated )I made a site full of those emails replys .... Lucky of them the last one was a good reply it was: the gprs roaming is now activated, you can use it.
