ok, with the info you've given I've done some research and I believe that if you create a new data account and set the APN to www (no username/password) that "should" get you going
let us know how you go

I had this problem and I visited the Sony Ericsson website and had the settings sent through from there. Not a problem since. Dials in without an issue at all. I tried every thing I could possibly do prior to doing this and it never worked. Give it a go!

Thanks a lot JiSM for your reply.
I tried this, but even with the settings they sent me it doesn't work.

I got a w890 2 days ago (Vodafone).
SE doesn't have a corresponding certificate for gmail encryption {port 465 or 443}, don't ask me why.
If you want to send mail from your phone use the gmail app, I would suggest you use only the app when mailing back and forth from your w890.
If you really prefer to do it from the built-in functionality, try this:
1. Confirm that pop3 is enabled in your gmail account (Do this on a pc)
2. Create account on your w890:
2.1 Input your display name ie John Smith
2.2 Input your email address ie johnsmith@gmail.com
2.3 Input psswrd
2.4 Select POP3 for this excercise
2.5 POP3 server is 'pop.gmail.com'
2.6 SMTP server is 'smtp.gmail.com' (irrelevant, but let's put it in)
2.7 Cancel the receiving bit
OK, finetuning:
Go to 'Settings'
1. Select what you would want to download in 'Download' tab, 'Subject only' or 'Up to size limit'. For a start select 'Subject only'
2. Go to the 'POP3' tab;
2.1 'Encryption' must be 'SSL'
2.2 Check that the 'Port' is 995 (POP3 is 995; IMAP is 993)
2.3 'Connect using'; Select 'Vlive!' or a similar profile and 'Allow local conn.' should be on
3. Go to the 'SMTP' tab;
3.1 'SMTP authentication' must be enabled
3.2 'Encryption' enabled
3.3 'Port' 465
That should get you going.
If you still have difficulty in finding the server etc., go to your Vodafone shop and demand a reload of the phone software, or just the internet profile.
This works on all the SE phones I've tried and owned over the last couple of years.
Good luck |
