When you say internet connection works, do you mean Opera or the
internal browser? If you haven't tested Opera, maybe all you have for
internet connection is a GPRS WAP account. In that case you will need
to set up a GPRS Internet account on your phone, and use that for Opera
and E-mail.

Your mobile service provicer should have the information you need. You
might also check if Sony Ericsson's support pages for the P910i has a
setting for your country and provider.
