Hi there

Here is a NEWBIE solution for everyone with an SPV c500 who wants to send and receive email using their orange.net email address on their phone.

Goto

www.orange.co.uk

On the right handside below the Orange Logo is a section called

ORANGE EXPLORE

click "email" below it

Then on the next page on the LHS click

"change your details"

enter your mobile number and password

Halfway down the page it states

Email/POP3 details

Your Orange email details are shown below.

You will need this information if you wish to access your Orange email on your laptop, pda or email capable phone.

email address : *********@orange.net

email/POP3 username : BUNCH OF NUMBERS AND LETTERS

Password : your existing sign-in password

Mailbox type : POP3

Incoming (POP3) server : pop.orange.net

Outgoing (SMTP) server : smtp.orange.net

the "email/POP3 username" is very important here

when i set up my orange email account and printed the page with these email setup details on, it was just blank for the email/pop3 username, so i thought my pop3 username/email name was just my name!

How wrong I was.

anyway....onto what to do on the phone(dont bother using the wizard)

click>

start

messaging

select any of the options here (media/text message/any email accounts etc)

click select

click menu

click otions

click account set up

click menu

click new

enter your name as you want people to see it when you email.

enter your email address (the @ symbol is already there for you)

Make sure automatic setup is ticked, click next and it will begin to obtain all the relevant details from the internet

when it has done so next you will need to fill in your "user name"

which is your "email/POP3 username " from the orange website page (not your actual name!!!) this is a random bunch of numbers and letters.

Next enter your password.

Tick save password (if you wish)

Click next

The server type will already be set up as "POP3"

The account name will already be set up as "orange.net"

Make sure NETWORK states "The internet"

click next

incoming server should already say

pop.orange.net

require ssl should not be ticked

Outgoing server should already say

smtp.orange.net

outgoing server requires authentification

should not be ticked

click next

Download the following messages should be set to how you want it to be

I have it as

all messages

first 500 bytes

click next

Connect automatically and check for messages

should be set how you want

I have it set as

Never

click next

click finish

Click done

Click done

now go to your new

orange.net account on your phone

click select

click menu

click send/receive

and thats it!!!

you will now receive/send any emails from/to your phone.

phew!!!
