I know that Opera uses the internet connection of the host PC, when the phone is docked or paired with bluetooth. :icon14: Is it possible to use the internet connection of the host PC to download and read POP3 or IMAP mails for which a e-mail messaging account is set up. 🙄

It's not possible with the native email s/w since it always asks you to choose a connection method.

It may however be possible with 3rd party email client s/w, just as Opera is 3rd party browser s/w.

Don't ask me what's out there because I don't know!

(Fingers crossed for the P910?)
