6600 Vodafone Email

Hi

Got my 6600 connecting via GPRS to net fine now, but can't get access to
Email. I've created a Vodafone Mail account and I think I've got the
properties right... Can anyone help setting up email account on 6600. Or
offer another free mail server that I can use from this phone.

Settings

Access Point : Vodafone WAP (works ok for net connect)
Email Addr : my vodafone email addr
Outgoing server: smtp.vodafone.net
User Name : my vodafone mail user id
Password: correct vodafone mail password
Incomming Server : pop.vodafone.net
Mailbox type : POP3
Security : Off
APOP Secure : Off


Many thanks
Martin

the Vodafone WAP access point won't work, that is only a WAP access
point. You need to create a full access point. To do this, follow
this:

1. Go to Tools, Settings, Connection, Access Points
2. Press Options, select New access point, Use existing settings
3. Select Vodafone WAP in the list.
4. Change the Connection name to: Vodafone Internet
5. Change the Access point name to: internet
6. Change the User name to: web
7. Change the Password to: web

Leave all other settings the same. Now go to your email settings, and
set it to use the "Vodafone Internet" Access point, and you should be
away. Oh one more piece of advice, set the Outgoing server to
212.183.156.230

All the Best,

Mario

Excellent - works great now.

Many thanks

Firstly make sure you are using the web GPRS and not the WAP GPRS as the WAP
GPRS will not work with emails using the popular protocols (SMTP,POP,IMAP).

The outgoing server means the computer that the emails you are sending go to
before they get delivered to the recipient, ie. If I send an email to
[email protected] it first goes to the outgoing mail server (in my case
smtpauth.dsl.pipex.com). Your phone needs the address for this mail server
as otherwise it will have nowhere to send it. Based on your email address I
assume you are trying to check a freeserve email account? If this is the
case then you will need to find out from freeserve what your outgoing mail
server (commonly referred to as SMTP server) is called. It is also possible
that your email is web based only and you can only access your account using
a web page.
Post the name of your email provider and method of accessing it (DO NOT
INCLUDE usernames/passwords) and I/someone else might be able to help.

It is best practice to use the name of the outgoing server and not the IP,
the reason being that if the IP of the mail server changes you will no
longer be able to send emails.

You have to use the SMTP server for whichever network you're on. So
for instance on O2, you use smtp.o2.co.uk, and for vodafone you use
212.183.156.230

If they are the settings that you use on your pc then, unless there's a
fault with the phone, it must be your gprs setup.
Here are my settings for the same phone and network that I have used with
pop,imap and smtp protocols.

Connection name: Internet
Data bearer: GPRS
Access Point Name: Internet
Username: web
Prompt password: no
Password: web
Authentication: Normal
Homepage: http://wap:1999/vodafone.wml

Advanced Settings:
Phone IP Address: Automatic
Prim. and sec. name servers 0.0.0.0
Proxy server address: 212.183.137.012
Proxy Port number: 8799

You could also try and connect to an alternate mail server to make sure your
isp is somehow blocking access from the vodafone connection.

Another thing to check is that you can send/receive email with your ISP's
servers when you are not connected via their network, ie. do you need to
dial into freeserve in order to access your freeserver email or can you do
it from a friends pc on, say, demon?
I have to use an authenticating smtp server in order to send emails when not
connected to my own ISP although I can use POP/IMAP from any connection.

If this still doesn't work then give vodafone a call and make sure you have
the right bits enabled at their end to enable web gprs as well as wap gprs.

Good luck
