Have everything all set up for MMS, Internet, and Email through my carrier. What I am looking for are the settings that would allow me to use WiFi through the Email on my c905. I have tried creating a new account in my email with my WiFi connected and turned on hoping it would show the WiFi as a connection option but, it did not. When I tried creating a new account with WiFi on it did not work. Any ideas? Thanks ahead of time.

Tell me if i'm wrong, but the email feature is meant to work through the carrier.

Why not use a webmail account (that can be accessed over wifi)? |

Thanks for responding. I would like to use the Email option when sending a picture or video clip without data charges from my carrier. It would only make sense that there must be a way to do this when hooked up to wifi without using the carrier. No?

After hours of looking and countless emails and phone calls and different settings; it turns out that Yahoo mail doesn't support POP forwarding for free. You need to upgrade to Yahoomail Plus for $20 a year. I have since opened a gmail account and it is working fine with my in-phone email on wifi. |

Yeah only Gmail is providing free POP3 services. And i can use my PC DSL connection to access mails on my K850i via BT PAN.
You can also make an account on Mail2web.com and forward all your emails on gmail to mail2web and then use its push email function on your C905 after setting up the synchronization in Organizer.
Whenever you get a new email on Gmail it will be pushed to your Handset just like a sms.

Hotmail/MSN now supports POP3 while Gmail supports IMAP4 so push mail is supported immediately by C905. |

Nope MSN doesn't support POP3 for free and you no push service available for Gmail for now, but you can forward all your gmail emails to mail2web.com and get instant push messages on C905, K850i etc...

Well, I'm using Push Gmail for both my C702 and C905 right now. You just have to manually set the servers. |

Push email (Gmail IMAP4) work fine!
Open Menu > Messaging > Email > Inbox > Send&rec and wait to receive all messages and then phone "ask" turn on Push email ...
Then go to Menu > Messaging > Email > Settings > Gmail IMAP4 > More > Edit account > Advanced settings > Push email > On or Off

That's right. And I read on dailymobile.se that MSN now gives free POP3 service, although with Gmail's free IMAP4 I don't see why MSN should even bother.  |

Gosh! After a bit googling i found the incoming & outgoing servers for Hotmail POP3 access... And yes now all hotmail users can access it for free.
Here are the settings:
User name: Your Windows Live ID (full email address), for example yourname@hotmail.com
password: Your password (keep it secret  )
Incoming Server: pop3.live.com
Port: 995
Encryption: SSL
Outgoing Server: smtp.live.com
Port: 25 or 587
Encryption: SSL
EDIT Thanks gtr83
I've just updated my Email inbox with msn mails...
