Hay i just got my new n80 and want to set up the email settigns but hvnt got a clue.Any help....

Use the settings wizard provided on the phone. That way it might do a lot if for you. Otherwise you have to create an accunt in Messaging -> Settings. You will need to know your username and password + you incoming and outgoing mail server.

Is that when trying to send or receive e-mail? if you are sending it might be because you are trying using your ISPs e-mail server when you are not on their network.

e.g. If you are with Wanadoo you can't send e-mails through wanadoo's server unless you are connected through their ADSL/dial-up.

You need to make sure you are using the correct access point. You need an access point that delivers "true internet", not just WAP.

Depending on where you got your phone, you probably have a variety of access points set up, and one of them will probably give you the Internet access you need.

As a matter of interest, which network are you on?

Can i change the default browser when you click a link in the built in email? I want to use the "Web" browser instead of the "Services" one...

use agile messenger

You need to say what your isp is (if the not found is when you try and collect mail). I'm not sure what O2 sending mail server is.

Try pop.yourisp.com or mail.yourisp.com

All the available servers or all the available access points? Also, are you trying to connect over WLAN or GPRS/3G?

It is possible that O2 haven't pre-configured the access point you need to use. But I've never used O2 so I don't know. Maybe some O2 users on this forum can help with the correct settings.

Good luck

Nope. As far as I know, "Services" will be gone from S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 and onwards, which means devices based on that realease will only have one browser and this problem is gone (for owners of such devices).

I'm with O2 and have had no problems using email with the free email account O2 supply, eg. [email][email protected][/email]

Incoming mail server = mail.o2.co.uk

Access point = O2 Wap GPRS

Mailbox name = [email][email protected][/email]

Maibox Type = POP3

Outgoing mail server = smtp.o2.co.uk

Hope this helps?

nope still not hapening

these are the settings

incoming mail serv

mail.hotmail.com

access point

02 wap gprs

mailbox type

pop3

outgoing mail server

smtp.hotmail.com

access point

02 wap gprs

Microsoft's Hotmail does not support POP3 or IMAP4 at all, for incoming mail, nor SMTP for outgoing mail. At least as far as I know, it doesn't. So, you'll never get the Messaging app to connect, until the support is there.

Try another free email service that supports Internet messaging standards better (e.g., Google's GMail, or whatever).

You need to set up a new access point as it needs to be O2 MOBILE WEB.

You can get the settings from the O2 site, but I'll see if I can post them on here after I get in from work... 😊

Right, to set up the Access point for O2 MOBILE WEB

Go to the settings and on Access point in use click options/change - if O2 MOBILE WEB not there in choices, then go to options/new access point/use default settings

Then enter the following in each of the boxes and then back or possibly save.

Connection Name

O2 MOBILE WEB

Data Bearer

Packet data

Access point name

mobile.o2.co.uk

User name

o2web

Prompt password

No

Password

(Was already in - 4 stars)

Authentication

Normal

Homepage

None

Then select O2 MOBILE WEB from the list as the access point. 😊 Hope that helps
