good email app?

1 replies · 2,204 views · Started 29 November 2004

im using t-mob's tzones in the u.s.

i'd like to be able to use my personal (comcast.net) POP3 email with the phone.

i have the this service working fine in the 'zones'. but, messaging is a real PITA from the limited services.app WAP browser.

i'd much rather use the (slightly) more robust messaging.app that comes with the phone. from here i at least have access to my contacts and media (for use as attachments, etc). in fact, i *DO* use it for sending emails just fine.

but, evidently because this connection is routing through t-mob's WAP server, comcast is not allowing me to check my POP3.

so, now i'm looking for an email/messaging application that can send *AND* check POP3. anyone have any leads on a good client?

tia,

1: Get the GPRS Internet Access Point settings from T-Mobile and make sure your subscription allows you to use it (and not just a WAP Access Point, which will not work for email).
2: Use that Access Point as the mailbox access point in the Messaging app.
3: Get also T-Mobile's SMTP server name for outgoing mail & use it in the mailbox settings.
4: Use your email providers' POP3 server and usernam/password in the mailbox settings.
