Found my first gripe... I have a gmail and o2 email accounts. Gmail works perfectly, no problem. O2 account works, and is set to check every 15 mins for new mail...... however, when the screen goes off, it won't pickup o2 emails. Even when screen is on when doing other things, it won't pickup mail at the intervals set. Have tried various pickup intervals but still no joy. Works if refreshed manually, and every now and then will pickup automatically, but very hit and miss. Need to now determine if this is down to the phone or o2's email servers.

Definately, the gmail is spot on. Will be looking into the o2 email, might sign up a couple of addresses with different providers and see what happens.

This sort of answers my question, looks like an ongoing problem with android mail and pop email.....

Tried removing and putting o2 email settings back in. Still not convinced it's working properly. Trouble is my o2 account is my main email, and it'll be a right bind to change over everything to my gmail. In fact, only really had the gmail account as it was easy to synch contacts. One thing I can say in favour of my Nokia X6, it handled email servers a breeze!

I am now using my G Mail app it's better but never used a networks own email except Orange which was shit as it was always down. I am wondering if we can download anymore of these live wallpapers they re lovely & I like the way they react when you touch the screen. I cannot put this phone down it's so gorgeous. Do you find it looks very iphone 3GS kind of design & menus?

Oh definately.... it's a 3gs rip off, but with a much bigger, better screen.... and well pretty much everything else! Just the email thing bugging me now. Set my o2 email to forward to my gmail, but hasn't done it. Think Android obviously has some issues with pop servers, and seems to prefer imap4. Yes, the live wallpapers look really cool, and a great being interactive.

I do wonder about the email servers & Android cos even my previous X10 G Mail sometimes I had to refresh my email as it would not always come through. Perhaps it will be sorted in time until then you may have to keep refreshing it. Not a Samsung problem then

Doesn't look like a Samsung specific problem, as from what I've been reading, it seems to affect a variety of Android powered handsets. Just a little dissapointing such a high spec and expensive device can't pickup pop email. Will see if there is any work arounds...............

It helped a friend of me (X10) Email did fine through wifi but nothing on 3G. After turning proxy on, it worked like a charm
Can you guys post some photo's you made in this thread? My wife is interested.

Mine won't work properly over wifi either. Forward email to gmail at the moment.
