emails on a Sony P800?
Discussion
I think I am in over my head here! but here goes, I have set up the phone to receive emails from my btclick account (broadband) am I right in thinking that like any othr device that is not ADSL I cannot reply from the phone on this address?
If that is correct can I set up the phone to access and send from my Hotmail A/c?
If any of this makes sense to anyone I need abc type instructions.
Thanks Nick

I too have a P800 (cracking tool by the way to those of you who have not seen it yet).
The problem you have is that you can usually only send outbound email via the mail servers of the company you are logged on with. It my case for example, I can only send using Vodafones server. If you try and send using BT's mail server whilst connected to the internet through Vodafone, then BT's server will reject you because you have not 'dialled in' through them.
There are three workarounds:
1. Send your outbound mail through the Phone companies server and just accept it will have a vodafone or O2 or Orange address
or
2. Go to Control Panel > Connections > Messaging Accounts > Email
Select your account and click Edit.
Type your BT click email address in the third box down and then 'Done' your way out. I believe this is the equivalent of the 'Email Address' and 'Reply Address' box in an Outlook account.
This should work in theory, but I haven't checked my self, so try at your own risk.
3. Set up a dial up connection from your P800 into BT instaed of your phone company and use that connection to send your mail with it's BT Click address.
Hope this is of use.

I've left my P800 at home today, so I can't give you step by step. However as you've got incoming mail working the outgoing isn't that difficult.
You need to set up the smtp option. The setting depends on the network you are with:
O2 it's smtp.O2.co.uk
Orange it's smtp.orange.net
vodafone it's smtp.vizzavi.co.uk (there may be a more up to date setting since vizzavi became Live!)
and for T-Mobile it's smtp.t-email.co.uk (this is not officially supported, I couldn't get a real answer out of T-mobile when I asked and had to do some informed guessing).
Me? A phone geek? Yes, and proud of it.

Not true.
Just set up an email account on the phone for whatever email system you want and as long as you can see it you can use it. I have my office email account (which is on an exchange server here) and one of my personal accounts (hotmail) set up on my P800 and they work perfectly. You just need you incoming and outgoing server details and your username and password.
I have removed the vodafone email account.

Thanks chaps, amazingly it works!! I am unable to reply to my btclick mails from the home pc (via modem) and bt had said that this was normal ie you could receive but not reply. The P800 when setup as you say has replied fine. Now if I can just beat it at chess.....
Nick
Chess? Piffle. I play Sega Master System Outrun and it's great....
USA - I'd be surprised. They probably don't have GPRS yet, they are years behind on mobiles.
PS I have a P800 too, excellent tool. GPRS charges for last period were a bit steep though, total bill was £200 for the month. I apparently used 55Mb in one month. Ted, any chance of a stripped down PistonHeads???

My provider appears not to be charging me for data. Which is nice......
*If* there's a GSM system in the part of the US you're going to (and a lot of it is CDMA) then *if* you have a roaming agreement with your Service Provider you could get service. GPRS is less common in the states, but does exist.
I'd expect it to be expensive.....
My P800 worked in Beijing.....

I am having probs with my P800.
I am with O2 and NTL mail. Sending a recieving emails is a bitch.
Anyone else have the same setup as me, that could tell me what the settings should be so that i can send and recieve email though the phone????
OK. Email on a P800 must be down a GPRS *only* connection. GRPS WAP is not good, as the WAP gateway will screw things up......
This may help, although I don't know what your pop server will be....
Your pop3 settings I can't help you with.

I am with O2 and btclick as mentioned, if you want the settings I am using I can post them, you would just have to look at your mail settings on the pc and substitute these?
