I'm a newbie, so forgive me if this has been answered before!
I have an XDA 2, and am using an O2 PAYG SIM Card. After many emails to/from O2 Support, I have finally got access to GPRS WAP. This seems to be limited to accessing WAP through the O2 Active WAP, and will only access certain web addresses. If I type in a 'normal' web address (eg http://google.co.uk), the XDA 2 tries to dial GPRS Mobile Web GPRS and fails. Same thing happens if I try to send/receive from my POP3 email in-boxes which I have set up. This happens even when I am 'on line' with WAP, and WAP then drops out.
O2 have told me that only WAP access is allowed with PAYG SIM Cards.
Question - Is there a work-around for this? All I want to do is send/receive emails when out and about.
Thanks for any help I might receive.
You need Internet Access Point. If they can only provide you WAP access point you can not access internet or use POP3. You need to change your package, if they don't provide you with internet access point.
for example in Pakistan we use
ufone.plwap for wap
ufone.plinternet for Internet
You need to set ufone.plinternet to use Internet and POP3.

Accessing POP3 Email Through WAP
Thanks for the response above. I am beginning to realise that the price of using a PAYG SIM Card is the inability to access the web through 'normal' means.
But again, does anyone out there have experience of O2 PAYG?

Going away next week so I want to bea ble to check my POP3 NTL email via GPRS.
At the moment I have my XDA iiS set up so I can check the email via my WiFi connection at home. This works ok, and I can send or receive with no problems.
However, when I try to create a new Messaging account, I'm really struggling.
FYI, my mobile company is Virgin and my email ISP is NTL.
I've already created the standard GPRS connection through Virgin, which works for for internet browsing etc.
So far i've:
1 - created a new messaging account called "NTL via GPRS" (to differentiate from the wifi account)
2 - Input my NTL email address
3 - User Information - my usual NTL user name & password
4 - Account type is set to POP3
5 - Incoming Mail Server is set to POP.NTLWORLD.COM
6 - Outgoing Mail Server is set to SMTP.T-EMAIL.CO.UK (i believe this is because Virgin actually runs on the T-Mobile network?)
When I click on the send/receive button, the GPRS conection is made, but then all that happens is the progress indicator just says, "connecting..." for ages, then I get 2 error messages - "timed out waiting for server - please retry" - and "Messages cannot be dwnloaded to your mobile device. Make sure you are connected and that your email account settings are correct."
Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Any help would be massively appreciated - thanks.
3 - User Information - my usual NTL user name.... did you set name only? try set [email protected]
Was anyone able to help here. I have exactly the same robelm with Tmobile in the UK. I would like to be able to send mail via GPRS but can't. I can receive it and I can do both on wifi.
The problem is some weard logic from the ISP's. You probably have an email account with the ISP that gets you your internet connections as well at home.
When using WiFi @ home you still send your email via your own ISP.
When you send email via GPRS, the email will be send via your GSM/GPRS provider of your sim-card which will be another telco/isp.
For some reason telco's/ISP won't allow you to send mail, using the smtp (outgoing mail) server of your own ISP. This is why it won't work via GPRS.
It very much depends on your telco company to get this working. I know the trick for vodafone in the Netherlands, but that won't help you I think. Most of the time some smart "googling" will help.
I my case the trick was to get an free account via the website of MyVodafone.nl
and on the PDA I defined an email account with an outgoing mail server that requires autentication and as autentication I used the u/p I created on the vodafone website. And the address of the outgoing mailserver in my case is authsmtp.vodafone.nl
Hello
I didn't find any info this kind of problem what i have after updating mobile 6.
So i have email account on internet and i can receive mails to my tytn but cannot send any mail. i also try to start internet share and send mail with my computer but i get error what says "cannot connect smtp server" what the hell is wrong.
If i connect normaly my tytn to active sync i can send mails and receive mails with same setting thru my DSL. But with 3G or GPRS i cannot send mail. everything else is working and has been working before update to wm6.

What SMTP server are you using?
You should be using the one from your internet provider, which - when
using your mobile phone as internet acces device - is your mobile
operator.

I use my DSL internet provider mail service, It has been working exatly with same settings before, and now i'm able to receive all mails from imap.netikka.net mail server but cannot send email outgoing SMTP server "mail.netikka.fi"
I can send and receive emails with my computer thru DSL normaly so that mail server should be ok. Something has to be wrong in wm6 settings some security problem maby.
The mail server is ok, but quite often one cannot access an smtp server
from outside the providers' network (sometimes access is possible from
outside with a logon and a password). This is a common security measure to
avoid their mailservers being used for spam.
So if you connect via a provider A, you can fetch mail from anywhere, but
you should send mails via the smtp server provider A has (regardless of
where your mail comes from). If you then connect via a provider B, you can
again fetch your mails from anywhere, but you cannot use the smtp server
of provider A; you need the one provider B has.
Try first using the smtp server from your mobile provider, if that doesn't
work it is indeed something in wm6.

Thanks for info, I set now my phone operator outgoing smtp server address and now mails are going out also.
So case closed.

Actually, the smtp stuff gives rise a problem I also want to warn you for... If you connect to multiple networks with your TyTN (e.g. wifi and 3G), you basically would want to be able to change the smtp server to suit your needs (e.g. on wifi you need the smtp server of your dsl provider, on 3G the one of your mobile provider). There is no mechanism foreseen in Messaging to achieve this.
As a workaround, I duplicate my mail accounts, but with different outgoing settings (most just go back 3 days or so): i have for instance "mymailbox (provider one)" and "mymailbox (provider 2)". Depending on the network via which I connect, I need to select the appropriate mailbox before choosing "new" or "reply". This way, the correct smtp server is used when I send a mail. It is not an elegant solution, but I haven't found another way. If you have an smtp server that requires you to log on to send mails, chances are you can access that one from anywhere.
Jörg
Yes i have now that problem that in 3g network mail goes out but not my DSL wifi but i can live with that. But still it is quite weird that with WM5 my DSL provider smtp server works even 3g and wifi but not with WM6.
If you can log on to the smtp server, it could be possible to use it regardless of your connection.
Perhaps you can test it when you use your laptop to send emails, but connect via your mobile operator to internet. If that works, it ought to work with wm6;
but I doubt it to be possible without logon.

Agreed this is a flaw in WM6, shoul be possible to quickly toggle between different settings for SMTP.
I have the same problem, two years ago this was not an issue I could then use the smtp settings from our domain on phone and in office (dsl), this no longer works even with the DSL connection in the office we have to use smtp of the internet provider.
Hey folks! I have an HTC Hermes running WM6 with wap connection (behind Proxy). I've been facing two problems with my connection every since I started using HTC products:
1) I cannot setup my Gmail account on outlook. I have tried every possible way, and I read so many threads but nothing seems to work.
2) Weather on HTC Homeplug doesn't work, even on the N2A patched one.
I hope those problems are solvable. I think it has something to do with my wap connection( I live in lebanon, using ALFA service, if any lebanese guys are reading this and have made those two things work, please post the settings/work around)
I appreciate any help and thanks in advance....
I'm not living in Lebanon but I have a Hermes device and I had no trouble at all setting up my gmail account, it even grabs the settings automatically. I don't know where your problem is stuck but it could be in the proxy settings.
sure everything can be solved. which ROM are you using and which Radio version?
I'm using Schap's 4.31 and radio 1.16.00.00
however i dont think it has anything to do with those things, i'm positive it's a matter of proxy settings
Are you sure the PROXY you defined is used for INTERNET?
most service providers use the PROXY for WAP only.
Call your service provider and ask them
I think you`ll get the answer from them.
I know it's for wap only, isn't there a way to make those things work over wap though?

It depends if your service provider allows it.
here in Israel we have one provider that allows access to the WWW using the WAP protocol and another Provider that blocks all DATA other then their own WAP site.
I checked the connection setup app on my device and found that it has the settings for <Lebanon/Alfa>. I think if you use this application, you might not be in need to setup any proxy.
if nothing works for you, then -as elivne said- calling your customer service would be a good solution
PS be careful with your mobile bill!

lol. i cant believe i didnt write the ROM and stuff
windows mobile 6.1 and pay as you go
What ROM you using? Are you on contract or pay as go, just that connection setup has contract, but the pay as you go is different and they block ports so no pop3 or imap4
I had to use a .cab on Tilt to set up pay as you go, the connection settings are available though.
http://www.google.com/cse?cx=000825...tings&sa=Search&cof=FORID:0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
Not sure if this .cab will work as only used on Tilt if not manual input it is. o2 are well cheaky with the 200MB package blocking email but i just use gmail in mini.
SMTP and IMAP4 works fine on PAYG O2 Internet for me, have the £7.50 Web bolt on and working through ProfiMail no problem - even SSL IMAP4 on port 993 works fine.
I think that O2 unblocked that restriction some time ago as it has been fine for me for almost a year. I'm using the standard PAYG access point details.
If the CAB doesn't work, the settings are:
Connects to: The Internet
APN: payandgo.o2.co.uk
Username: vertigo
Password: password
Should be all you need.

Thanks for info, i'll give that a shot but know that even recent posts people had same problem with o2 and u using diffeent port than the ones that blocked.
Well IMAP on the standard port 143 and POP3 also work fine, so suggest it may be a problem with their account?
good luck
if somebody could give me a step by step guide please.
Start > Settings > Connections > GPRS
Menu > Delete any connections that are there already, but if you have one that says "Auto configure connection", ignore it.
Menu > Add
Description: O2
Connects to: The Internet
Access Point: payandgo.o2.co.uk
Username: vertigo
Password: password
Leave everything else and press Done, and keep going Done until you are back at the home screen.
Make sure WiFi is switched off and try and use an Internet application. It should work fine.
Good luck!

Hello,
I live in New York, and I realize most people use online mail like Gmail and hotmail but I use the POP3 email from my internet provider, RCN.
When I was with AT&T, I had to use a special outgoing SMTP server from AT&T (cwmx.com) otherwise I couldn't send emails. Using my internet provider's SMTP server isn't working. Is there also a special SMTP server to use in T-Mobile to send emails on your phone from your email address?
Any help would be awesome, guys!
Thanks!
P.S.
Why the specific SMTP server?
Clearly the phone can't send emails if you put in your provider's smtp server because you're not connected to your internet provider when sending emails, you're connected to your phone's network.
Have you tried SEVEN ?
