Setting BT Internet email on 02 for T68

Posted by Dr_Adlard
I use BT anytime for my POP3 email and use o2 with GPRS enabled.
I have two questions:

1) I tried using the ericsson website to setup my byinternet account (tried both 0845 and 0161 numbers) however each time it comes up with an 'unable to find server error message'. My email POP3 server is mail.btinternet.com. What is going wrong. Could anyone give me all the correct settings so I can compare with what ive got?

2) Is it all possible to use GPRS to get my BTInternet email using an 02 GPRS connection. If so how?

Many thanks in advance,

Roger

1. Tried using the IP address for the server instead? For mail.btinternet.com it's 194.73.73.90

Thanks! It worked!

That must be a record. A correct reply within 2 minutes of me posting a question!

I hope I can return the favour to someone else sometime.

Thankyou again,

Roger

Is it possible to collect email using o2 GPRS and btinternet, again it doesnt seem to work, do i need to use a different mail centre of some other third party email provider to collect my email?
