Nokia 6610 - Can I down load my emails on it ?

[samn01]

I just got my New Nokia 6610 out of the box and what I really want to do is set it up so it can dial into my Pop3 email account and down load my emails, I am not doing very well so far.
Can it be done? and if so how? It has an internal modem and GPRS/WAP so I assume I can somehow?
Does anyone have any experience of setting these things up?

Thanks !!!

Er, have you read the manual yet?

Most Nokias have an IrDa modem allowing you to connect it via a PC or PDA in order to get your mail. I'm not sure if you can dial straight into a POP3 server and get your mail straight on the phone.

On most nokia's I think you can just go to their web site (unsurprisingly www.nokia.co.uk), type in your new phone number and it sends all the settings to the handset.

Er, Yes (it is not much help).

Yes I used to do that with my last company and the IT guy had set up my Palm Vx to dial straight in to the server via my 8210 that I had then.

OK so next question, does anyone no how to set up my palm 5 to dial my pop3 account?

I had a similar problem on my ericsson t39, gave up in the end. Willdew, that system for nokia where you put the number in, do you know if you can do it with ericsson's?

Ok, so I can't download them direct to the phone.
After 1 hour of messing around on the palm and palm website I am nearly ready to give up the idea of downloading via the pda as well !!!

Not a happy man

Visit mailandnews.com and you can set up an account which lets you read and send your email via a wap interface.

I have been using it for 3 years and its good!

I've spend many hours (eventually successfully) recently trying to set up my new Palm Tungsten T with a Nokia 6310i.

The Palm Tungsten comes with software called Phone Link that allows you to specify your POP account. Then you use another package called VersaMail to get and send email (including word and excel attachments which is really useful). Once you've set up the Phone Link correctly Versamail will dial automatically when you touch the 'Get Mail' icon.

The above works with Irda, although I use the built-in bluetooth - don't think the Palm V has this built in.

I believe that there is a similar dial-up package for the Palm V and I suspect there are plenty of emailing packages out there.

Happy mailing

Thanks for all the advise.

MailandNews dont seem to be taking new clients (cant see how to sign up if they are)

spent all last night getting the palm to dial and ISP sorted that so I can now connect. Just have to work out how to connect to the pop3 account now

Ah the joys of technology, doesn't it just make life so easy

Nope, you can't I'm afraid.
I used to have a Sony Z7 and that couldn't do it, so I presume the ericsson's the same.
