Guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 works fine here. using yahoos free email accounts and pop access. set up with two accounts on my vario 2. have you set it to use t-mobile internet or the internet cos any other one won't work. and needless to say have you got your username and password right also who are you accessing by pop3 smtp. might be able to help with the settings if its one of the big free ones.

Guest wrxppp Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 I also had problems yesterday - but it was the first time I'd used email. I must have tried 10-15 times to connect to Wanadoo. It was only successful twice but it took ages to complete send & receive. On all failures I could get past connecting>loggin on> but it was timing out on send & recieve. Trying to send anything was impossible. So it appears my settings are OK if I have the odd sucess at downloading emails, so what's the problem with the time outs when looking in my account - is it my end or Wanadoo?

Guest Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Have you got the settings from wannadoos site? have you tried the same thing VIA wifi (or activesync) and see if it connects? what SMTP server are you using? JEREMY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick I'm also having similar problems, but not to Wannado, another server (in the US). I can mostly download email, but have only one (ever!) managed to make it actually send one. (Is there a t-mobile smtp server that it might work better with ? Adge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adge (oh dear - replying to my own posts - can't be a good sign !!) For me at least, this looks like a t-mobile problem, as I can send and receive with no problems on a wifi link.

Guest Loconinja Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 If you have problems sending, try using the T-Mobile SMTP server: smtp.t-email.co.uk I have created two accounts: "Eclipse" and "Eclipse T-Mobile" (Eclipse is my ISP). "Eclipse" uses the Eclipse SMTP server and connects using "My Work Network". I use this account when I am connected to my home network via WiFi. "Eclipse T-Mobile" uses the T-Mobile SMTP server and connects using "T-Mobile Internet". I use this account when I'm on 3G or GPRS. It's a bit unsatisfactory as it means I have two inboxes (and in WM, you still can't copy e-mails between accounts - why?), but it does mean I don't have to mess about with network settings when I switch between WiFi and 3G/GPRS.

Guest Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 why dont you just set it to connect to "the internet" instead of t-mobile internet. that way it should work no matter which SMTP server you are using or connection# although mine works fine with yahoo's smtp server connected to "the internet" and no matter whether im checking via wifi or 3g it works on the same account.

Guest Loconinja Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 I tried using "the internet", but the phone would still try and connect to 3G/GPRS, even if I was connected to WiFi. This is an issue for PIE too. If anyone has a solution for this, I'd be very happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dr Who Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 You mean that thread, that I started? :D Urps!!!!! Turning off the security on your router and connecting automatically didn't cure your problem? Seemed to work for me and Rickwookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No joy with that server either - it always fails, and asks me to check my network coverage and account details. I can't find any other settings to play with ! ... actually that's not true (it had just crashed). Now it just sits there saying "Connecting ..." :-( Adge Edited September 8, 2006 by adge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEREMY I'm using Incoming pop.wanadoo.co.uk Outgoing smtp.t-email.co.uk Its still timing out a lot at the send/receive stage but it actually managed to send an email today. It was 210 Kb and took 4 minutes to despatch!! I haven't set up WIFI yet - my main mission is getting BT to work first! Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jaso2005 Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 just to update everyone on this, been in contact with t-mobile and it is a problem on my account and they are getting there head technical director to look in to it. I found this out because even when i put my sim in to my data card it still doesnt work, so its quite obviously a network problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
