MMS & Email P910i with Cingular

Posted by taipan
Hello all,

I am sure this has coe up before but I am at my wit's end. I have the SE P910i and cingular as my provider. I have SMS and Internet browsing working.

I have my own email server with both IMAP and POP. I even tried yahoo email and bluebottle. None of these work with this device.

I am just trying to setup email through IMAP or POP3.

Am I missing something? I spoke to both Sony Ericsson & Cingular and after each conversation I feel I know more than they do.

Anyone have experience with this at all? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

I haven't had much trouble at all getting email to work with my P910a and Cingular. I haven't tried the services you list, but I have successfully gotten my university's email functioning as well as Cingular email and another of my email addresses. I had to switch to ProfiMail because all of my main email accounts now require SSL, but these accounts all worked before, and work now that I have ProfiMail (including GMail).

I suggest that you carefully check all of the settings required by each of your accounts. If you have any questions about how each of these settings works with a P910, continue to ask questions here. None of us can really help you set anything up, if we don't know the specifics of what you are trying to do.

Hello there. Thanks for your reply. I thought I would give a little more details as to how I am setting up my account.

I have also added the details of a test account on my server to see if you could try and log in from your phone.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Guest Account:

Email address: guest@e-biensur.com
Account NameL guest@e-biensur.com
Password: guest

Outgoing Mail server: cwmx.com (Cingular)
Incoming Mail Server: dieu.e-biensur.com

This server supports IMAP, IMAP SSL, POP3. .
--------------------------------------------------------------

Basically I have Cingular Wap on this phone and I can broswe the internet with no problem. Here are the settings I got from Cingular:

---------------------------------------------------------
Username: WAP@CINGULAR.COM
Password: CINGULAR1
Address: WAP.CINGULAR

This acccount is set up as a GPRS connection named express.
-----------------------------------------------------------
When I try to check my email with the above settings, I get an error message:

"DND Report: Server Failure"

I am at my wit's end. How did you set yours up? Any details you could give me?

Thanks.

Got it working. I did some further troubleshooting, and found out my Firewall Server was blocking all the POP3 p and IMAP ports as I usually connect through Webmail form my laptop. Duh..

I also had to change my server address from the hostname like pop3.myeamilserver.com to the actual IP address.

For some reason it seems it could not do the DNS lookup and would time out or hang.

Thanks for the responses.
