Can anyone help me please?
I have been trying for ages to try and connect to my freeserve account using my T68 with no luck whatsoever!
I am using :
Pop3 : pop.freeserve.net
SMTP : smtp.freeserve.net
mailbox : (tried full email + name.freeserve.co.uk
Ports : Default
APN : geniewap
All I get is CONNECTING --> Cannot find server
Does anyone have any idea what this could be. I will try anything.
Many thanks... |

Try to use the IP address on the POP3 and SMTP-server...... It usually helps. |

Finding server....Server not found.
Any other ideas please? |

I had the same problem with my T68 here in Norway. I phoned Ericsson Support and they told me to use my operators(Netcom) SMTP server to make it work. Contact your operator to get their SMTP, it might work.
For all of you that understands norwegian, here is what they wrote:
E-post på telefonen
Gå inn i Meldinger, Valg, E-post, Endre konto.
Om du ikke har noen der, Legg til ny. Navn er valgfritt (bare noe for å skille mellom flere kontoer).
Neste valg er Koble til med, velg da den nyopprettede datakontoen.
POP3 og SMTP server skrives inn med IP adresser, ikke host names.
Postkasse tilsvarer brukernavn, og passord er da det som følger brukernavnet.
For Netcom må SMTP-server være deres egen: 212.45.188.35 |

Hi,
I had a problem like this before with Freeserve checking my pop mail over a lan. According to freeserve, they do not allow email to be collected over a non-dialup line. Try setting the wap settings to dial into freeserve and collect it from there.
Also, I've found that it often can't find network names. Try getting the IPs for the servers using DNS lookup at http://www.freeality.com/findet.htm
Hope that helps! |

I did have the same problem.. I contacted my mobilephoneoperator(??)... and they did say that APN can block the pop3 server. They suggested that I should remove the APN. After doing that it worked. I also use my mailserver IP-number.
