Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Fido / October 2003Hello
Hello, I would like to know if anyone can help me to set up the email for Sony Ericsson P800 headset. I've already setup the wap gateway and am able to browse the web no problem. But I am having difficulty to setup the email client. If someone can actually tell me what the settings are , it will be very much appreaciated. thanks!

Assuming you already have an account that allows you to send/receive email through any device/email program, one thing you should check is whether you set your P800 to use SMTP authentication (which can be modified under the account settings outbox tab of the email account you're using) because most SMTP servers use it. That could be the reason you cannot send email. > What's the problem you're having?

You can find the setup on the Fido website. -- M2 Yes I have a working email account which is XXXX@telus.net so I used mail.telus.net for POP3 and SMTP servers. When I tried to connect to the email it said 'connecting...' 'connecting to mail.telus.net" then after the timeout is is set to 180seconds. there is a dialoug poped up saying. 'no record found of the desired DNS typed of class' any clue? > What's the problem you're having?

'no record found of the desired DNS typed of class' You can receive email via anyones pop server. However, sending must be done with your carriers smtp. Due to security reasons, I doubt there is an isp that will allow you access to their smtp outside of being connected to their system. I could be wrong though. :) Dave. Yes, you are absolutely wrong. If what you say were the case, there wouldn't be any point in using GPRS. Um, no, he is correct, SMTP servers will generally only accept mail destined for it's domain from sources OUTSIDE of it's domain. That is why you must use Fido's SMTP server to send mail while using Fido GPRS. The reason is spam, an SMTP server that will except mail destined for outside of it's domain from sources outside of it's domain is called an open relay. TTYL > Yes, you are absolutely wrong.

Well, I'm not sure I understand what you're saying but let me tell you that I can use a Vodafone.de and a GMX.de account that I have via GPRS on several handsets without using Fido's SMTP server. I configured my handsets to use the POP and SMTP servers I was provided with and have no problem sending or receiving email. Exactly, you must use the SMTP server of the GPRS network provider you are using, so if you're using Fido GPRS you need to use Fido's SMTP server.

When I programmed my P800 and other handsets, I entered these server addresses to send email: smtp.email.vodafone.de and mail.gmx.net so I do not see how this has anything to do with Fido's SMTP server. If I were trying to use Fido's email account, then it would be logical to assume that I need to use their POP and SMTP servers. > Exactly, you must use the SMTP server of the GPRS network provider you are > using, so if you're using Fido GPRS you need to use Fido's SMTP server. TTYL I give up, if you can't understand that I WAS GIVING AN EXAMPLE I don't know what else to say... > What do you mean???

There might be an exception. If the SMTP server support authentication then some providers accept to relay messages if client authenticate itself to the SMTP server. I think this is the case for Mikelats \ GMX.de account. > Um, no, he is correct, SMTP servers will generally only accept mail destined > for it's domain from sources OUTSIDE of it's domain.

Another case is accounts that use IMAP, you can send through them from any provider (since you must authenticate before a session can be opened on the IMAP server).

I thought IMAP was only for incoming mail. -- M2 > > That's true, however it is relatively rare.

I thought IMAP was only for incoming mail. Right you are, sorry about that. TTYL It's evident that your phone can't find the servers. Here the questions are: do you have the right addresses? And do you use a regular internet connexion or ADSL? If you have the latter and you're trying to use the same settings that you have on your computer, it won't work because Telus' server won't allow access to anybody outside its network for security reasons. If you had a regular internet connexion, then it would be possible to send and retrieve your mail from any capable device such as your phone or a wireless PDA. This is because security settings for fast connexions like cable or ADSL and for regular phone line connexions are different. >Yes I have a working email account which is XXXX@telus.net so I used >mail.telus.net for POP3 and SMTP servers.

'no record found of the desired DNS typed of class' In terms of mail servers to use... POP3: mail.telus.net SMTP: gprs.fido.ca Your SMTP server needs to be the one operated by the service through which you connect, not the one you get your email through. That should help you out. Hope it works. |
