Does anyone have this working at the moment. I can log in via web but through my handset it will not connect, but asks for my user name & passwrod - these work fine on the web?

I can't check my email from my P900 either! I've tried setting up a messaging account, but always get a 'DND report: bad name' error. I'm not sure if this is linked to your problem, or if I've simply not inputted the settings correctly!

well the user & password should be exactly the same as the web login?!?

Posted by Sammy_boy
Yes, they're all the same, I think I've got the details right but it gives me that error message
