hi guys,
got a new w900i, using an orange sim in it (managed to get the phone unlocked+debranded).
tried to use the se configurator to get my o2 email working, but no joy. can't figure out how to do this manually ie where to put the settings+what settings i need..
has anyone tried to do this/can offer me advice on how to?
cheers 
i used to have a good sig, but i'm all pc noooooooooooow!!! |

If you mean yourname@o2.co.uk email on the w900i, i'm using it.
Here's my settings for messaging - email - settings -account settings ...
email address: myname@o2.co.uk
connect using: the default wap GPRS account
connection type: pop3
-----------------------------------------
incoming server: mail.o2.co.uk
username: myname@o2.co.uk
password: mypassword
download: headers only (just a personal preference to save data usage)
check interval: off (again just my personal pref)
----------------------------------------
outgoing server: smtp.o2.co.uk
username: myname@o2.co.uk
password: mypassword
----------------------------------------
allow connection: any
your name: myname
signature: none
copy outgoing: off
encryption: off
incoming port: 110
outgoing port: 25
There you go
You might need to substitute the mail.o2.co.uk and smtp.o2.co.uk for the server's ip addresses instead of the names, depends how good your wap DNS is. |

Thanks, that's definitely a help, the only problem is, is that , as you suspected i'm getting a "server not found error".
any idea how i would find the dns addresses?

Start menu - accessories - command prompt.
Type:
ping domainname
where domainname is the name of the server you want to know the ip address of, and it'll tell you in brackets the ip.
anyway i just pinged smtp.o2.co.uk and mail.02.co.uk, and they both resolve to 193.113.160.13.
so replace the mail.o2.co.uk and smtp.o2.co.uk in the incoming/outoging server settings above with "193.113.160.13" no quotes. |
