V551 E-mail settings question

The e-mail settings for my V551 is giving me fits. On my messages menu at the 'E-mail messages' link, every time I select it I'm told my "E-mail message inbox requires setup". I've tried everything I can think of for these settings and can't make anything happen. I've used the Cingular site for help with setting up mail, but their instructions were fuzzy, at best.

I'm probably overlooking something quite simple, so if anyone can guide me through my phone's e-mail settings I would be grateful.

Anybody? Anbody? Hello?

Here are all the settings for anybody else in the future who has a problem with your phone's e-mail settings. This works on my 551, but I'm sure the setup is the same for different models. BTW, these settings should have been automatically set up when your account activated. Mine weren't, hence my problems.

Open your Messages folder and drop down to E-mail messages. When you get the message, "Email msg inbox requires setup", enter the following:


ISP Settings: GPRS
Email provider: Custom
Protocol: Pop3
User ID cing (lower case)
Password msg (lower case)
Sending Host: photo.mycingular.com
Sending Port: 25
Receiving Host: photo.mycingular.com
Receiving Port: 110
Return Address (yourphonenumber)@mobile.mycingular.com
Name: (Arbitrary)
Cleanup: None
Notification: On
Check new msgs: (your preference)
Hide fields: (blank)
Auto signature: (blank)
Size restriction: 10240

ISP settings

Connection type: GPRS
APN address: wap.cingular
User Name: [email protected] (All CAPS)
Password: CINGULAR1 (All CAPS)
DNS IP: 0.0.0.0

And that's it.

If you want to recieve multimedia e-mail attachments you, would enter your e-mail address as follows: yourphone#@mms.mycingular.com. Hope this helps.

Wow, now that's bringing up a totally dead topic ...
