Email Setting - SE 910i

rdbaker · 20-11-2005, 12:20

Just a got the magnificent 910i but hacing a few problems setting up email - I'm trying to set it up so I can receive my yahoo emails so I've put the yahoo smtp and POP addresses in but its still not working.

Can anyone help??

In what way not working? What error message do you get and what happens? Is your internet connection on the phone browswer working?
I think yahoo doesn't enable pop3 by default too, you may need to switch it on in before you first connect from your yahoo settings

It just times its self out - the only changes I've made to the settings are by adding in the incoming and outgoing yahoo server addresses - not sure if I have to do anything else?

The obvious one is to check teh yahoo servers there are correct, if you accidentally put a dot in the wrong place or something it could be that it's pointing to a non-existant server.
I'm assuming your internet connection over GPRS works correctly on the device? ie, you can view web pages on the browser.
Have you turned POP3 on with yahoo?

OK, got it working!....except I can't receive emails now only send them!!!????**

Think this maybe an O2 thing.

I have the same problem with O2 too, can only send emails but not receive.

Subsequently change over to Orange, got the settings from Sony-Ericsson website, no problem sending and receiving.

Yes, I'll shortly be switching to Orange from O2 with my 800 *a few models older than yours).

I think it's OK for contract users, as a relative of mine can get him@virgin (but not him@gmail) on his 910i - contract (the £80 - top one for their business).

Could be as I was using O2 PAYG then. With Orange - Contract & PAYG - no problem.
