UK voda, wotan unbranded K800i, internet is fine but cannot connect to email. Fails to find server is the error message but I suspect connection failure is the issue. All suggestions most welcome . Cheers, F.

You will probably find it is vodafone blocking the pop3 email access on their mobile internet im afraid.
They used to do that when i was with them so i left!
They may only allow access to the vodafone pop3 email server, if that at all.
It is also the same on 3(three) prepay and possibly contract.

Strange , as my wife has a voda branded SE handset and she can access her standard pop3 mail box and send via voda's send.vodafone.net for outgoing smtp. |

Try downloading the email settings from the Sony Ericsson site rather than the Vodafone site. I had the same problem with the Voda settings and as a last resort I tried the SE settings and they worked straight away. You just have to answer the questions i.e. email address, service provider etc.etc. I'm with BT Internet and a couple of the settings were not what I thought they'd be hence I had the same problem as you. Let me know how you get on ...... good luck. |
