Retrieving e-mail from O2 Atom Exec

[jojo]

Hi, I'm trying to help a colleague to configure his Atom Exec to retrieve e-mail automaticly. I think it involve the phone calling the mail server and downloading the mail via GPRS or something. Does anyone know how to do it?

You got the right idea - as long as the data connection is there, all you have to do is configure his e-mail account in the Messaging app (in Messaging, tap 'Accounts' then 'New Account...'). I'm assuming it's a POP3 account btw.

The only thing to beware of is that you will almost certainly have to use smtp server of the cell phone carrier that he uses for outgoing mail, not the email providers server.

Thanks, finally have it all set up and running. Set up the new account and copy all the information from outlook. If only he rememeber his e-mail account's password, :wink: ended up spending 2 hours on the phone with Telstra to get the password and iron out all the kinks. It kinda help with the same company provide mail and cell phone service.
