Not sure. The ip you gave is mail.netlife.no? This is the correct server I assume?

Remember to use an Internet account for checking email and not your WAP settings.
That solved it for me.
Teledanmark Mobile GPRS Internet:
APN: internet
Teledanmark Mobile GPRS WAP:
APN: wap

Here is a guide to setting up a POP3 e-mail service on your shiny T68 using a standard (non-GPRS) data connection.
1. Under the connect menu, select 'Data comm.' then 'Data Accounts' then 'Add acount'. You need to set up a data dial-up for your ISP to get your e-mails through POP3.
2. Put in all the settings for your ISP. Mine (for Freeola) are...
Phone Number: 08451121400
User id: your regular internet logon ID
Password: your regular password
Passwd request: off
Data Rate: 9.6kbit/s
Dial type: analogue
DNS address: left at default '...'
3. Now go into the 'Messages' menu, then 'Options' then 'E-mail'
4. 'Add new account' then set it up.
Here are my settings, just change them to your ISP's..
Connect Using: Select the dial-up profile that you have just created
POP3 server: mail.freeola.net (for incoming mail)
POP3 port: 110 (that's default anyway)
Mailbox: your e-mail username, probably the same as your logon username
Password: your e-mail password, probably the same as your logon password
SMTP server: smtp.freeola.net (for outgoing mail)
SMTP port: 25 (default)
e-mail address: The address that you want messages you send to display
From name: the name that you want messages you send to display
The last 3 options (Signature, Copy Outgoing, and Check interval) are self explanatory and shouldn't affect your connection at all.

To be able to access pop3 web servers you need to enter the web gprs and not the wap gprs that is done by the following
Start off by creating a new data account:
- In the CONNECT menu goto DATA COMM. select DATA ACCOUNTS then ADD ACCOUNT
- select GPRS data, and enter a name (say 'GPRS Email')
- input 'internet' (lowercase) for the APN
- input 'web' (again lowercase) for USER ID
- input 'web' (again lowercase) for password
then save and return to the main menu.
Now use that for your email settings |
