Setting up POP3 Email (BT Yahoo)

3 replies · 17,204 views · Started 02 August 2007

Hi,

I'm really pleased with my Z8 except for trying to set up POP3 Emails!

I'm with BT Yahoo and my mobile phone service is with O2. I've entered in all my account details as suggested by BT Yahoo but whenever I try and "Get & Send" mail - the Z8 reports that the connection has "Timed-Out". :frown:

I've asked for help from Motorola but I just got a very basic response that I should speak to my ISP. Having spoken to BT Yahoo they say I should speak to Motorola!!!

All rather frustrating! :con?

Can anyone help me or advise me whether they have been successful in setting up BT Yahoo Email?

Thanks in advance!

Can you put the settings for your email set up ( obvioulsy without your password! ) and o2 internet setup in here? that way it should be pretty easy to see if anything is wrong.

Most common mistake is trying to connect to email using teh WAP service, which wont work. You need to use the ISP/Internet service.

access point for that should be Mobile.o2.co.uk, if the connection your using has the access point wap.o2.co.uk, it wont work.

Good luck.

Hi Mobilewonder!

Thanks for your post. :icon14:

I've now cracked it - the problem, not the phone!

Thanks for your help though,
Cheers
