Email Problem

[Guest Templeton]

I have the Orange C500 phone, I am trying to setup my orange email on my phone I have gone through the setup.The problem is when I click send/receive I get a screen asking for password which I enter followed by "Domain if necessary" which I don't have a clue what to enter,and if I enter nothing it tries to connect for about a minute before returning to the same screen.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Who is your mail provider? Have you set it up properly? On mpst POP3 email no Domain is necessary (I believe it is only used for corporate email wher you could have multiople domnains) so you can leave it blank.

Have you set up the incoming and outgoung servers properly?

...agree - I think the password is your usual e-mail password, leave the domain blank...

[Guest gvr]

have you activated your orange email account?

I have a similar problem. My email settings are definately correct (as are my GPRS settings as I can connect to the Internet via the Internet Explorer) however whenever I click send/receive it says connecting and then hangs. The phone is still active and I can try to stop send/receive but it then just says disconnecting and I have to turn the phone off to actually stop it. Any ideas anyone?

I've noticed that if the phone can't connect to your POP box it takes bloody ages to give up.

A send/receive does exactly the opposite of what it says - it receives first, then sends - so if you can't connect to the mailbox it seems to stop you from sending too!

I'd setup your email account again from scratch just to be sure.

Are there still restrictions on accessing free ISP mailboxes from anything other than their own dial-up connections? You never used to be able to send emails from Freeserve (for example) unless you used their dial-up number or had another SMTP provider.

That might be your problem, but I'd start with recreating the email account from scratch
