Email on Three

Hi,

I am trying to set my wife's new mobile up so that it can pick up her normal Email address, which is an old freeserve one (now Orange). I have managed to get it to receive ok but sending is a different matter. Does anybody know if it is possible and, if it is, what smtp server do I use and do i need to change the ports?

Thanks!

Robert.

You would need to setup the smtp setting to smtp.three.co.uk

If you are using the in-built email application (eg on a nokia, the one that comes within the messaging section), I'd tread very carefully.

You get charged for every email you send through 3's network - I can't remember the cost, but it was something around 8-12p per email. Also, when you send an email out through 3, no matter what you do, it seems to put your 3 email address as the from address, not your orange one.

You're best to subscribe to mobile mail, if your phone supports it. I get this and unlimited internet usage for £5 a month. The emails get sent straight to your phone and you don't get charged for any emails you send out (subject to usual fairness policies), plus the email from address is correct.

Thanks for that. I had tried the smtp.three.co.uk and had the problem with the 3mail Email address being displayed.

How have you found the Mobile Mail? I had this on my Nokia 6120 as I had the X-series thing. It was quite handy but it just ate my battery and had to charge it every day. I uninstalled the application and it lasts best part of a week now.

I'd also like to know how to subscribe to Mobile email. Virgin seem to have pulled the plug on my email activities from my Nokia 6080.
