o2 or Yahoo email settings with 6680

6 replies · 2,419 views · Started 20 July 2005

Bit of a nightmare.

I think they're telling me that I have to use my old o2 username (from 5years ago!) for my email account on my phone.

I don't want to do that so Ive been looking at using the pop3 setting from my yahoo.com account so I can just use my yahoo email (proper not the wap version) from my 6680. Im totally in the dark on this though. Ive tried the settings wizard and going through it manually but can't seem to get it to work 😞

Could anyone help me please?

Thanks

Nish

I have yahoo email working on my 6680 its just a case of following the manual. All of the settings needed are in your Yahoo's account settings.

Where about?

I have noticed that in my friends yahoo.co.uk options there is an extra option for pop3. But I dont have this on my yahoo.com account.

Is there a problem with my yahoo.com account?

Could be. I have a Yahoo! .co.uk account. Once I have logged in, in the top right corner there is mail options, in that is pop access and forwarding. You have that option?

nope.

this is very shit.

Can I not use this with yahoo.com email adds then? how shit is that!
If this is the case I hope o2 can give me a new email name. :frown:

o2 sent me an email back saying that the email can't be changed! 😞

Ive sent a reply saying that its from the old gsm account Ive had for 4years! And that im switching over to 3g at the end of the month, asking if I could have a new email with the 3g account instead of transferring my old one over.

Dont think they'll give me it (dont see why they cant though!) --fingers crossed 😊
