This is NOT free and never has been. If you send via 3mail its 10p, with a picture 25p etc. 3mail is free to receive but not send. Mobile Mail is a seperate service that is included in X series and is free, 3mail is not. I have had Xseries since launch and can confirm it is superb and have not been charged for included services.

You don't know that at all, mobile mail is completely free when used on an X-Series account. It is power hungry though, that much you did get right.

Okay, when I said change you smtp settings, I meant to something other that smtp.three.co.uk. Preferably to whatever settings your ISP provider gave you, then you'll have access to your personal home e-mail on the move. Technically it's not free because you pay your ISP, but it doesn't cost you any extra. >>> mobile mail isnt free i know that, and it uses too much battery anyway. >> You don't know that at all, mobile mail is completely free when used on an X-Series account.

Well I've been using it a lot on my X-Series for the last couple of months and not been charged a penny. > so, using smtp.three.co.uk gets me billed..ill have to use gmail then. Yes, smtp.three.co.uk will cost you, which does seem a bit odd to me considering pretty much everything else in included in an X-Series tariff. That's the way it is though, the other option is to use Yahoo! Mail which is also free on the X-Series.

I have an smtp server (from www.1and1.co.uk) I can access from anywhere as it requires authentication to use. I forgot that for most people that will not apply. > It happens that nick formulated : >>> SFRalph@googlemail.com used his keyboard to write : [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > I have an smtp server (from www.1and1.co.uk) I can access from anywhere as it requires authentication to use.

Ditch mobile mail and just use the built-in email client or the YahooGo mail. I've still got a O2 account, so can use smtp.o2.co.uk for outgoing mail. Also have a freeuk.com, yahoo and gmail account which work as well. I've started to use the yahooGo for my email, I've got my ISP mail forwarding them to it. Means I'm notified when I have a message. Seems to be working fine now, had a few problems the other week, but think that was 3 itself. If I need to reply to any email from YahooGO (Don't want *@yahoo.co.uk in my reply) I've setup a account in the built-in email client for yahoo, with the retreival settings at 5 messages, then I have the outgoing server reply email set as my ISP mail address.

I had problems using YahooGo for mail forwarding, it was always delivered as an attachment. I checked all the settings on my mail forwarding but couldn't figure it out.

Sorry can't help you, but why not email yahoo, I had a problem with one email not being displayed correctly (Error message and always said I had 1 unread email) and they sorted it out next day. Can't remember where the online form is, but check the help section. SignatureGerry (The MOTH) >> Ditch mobile mail and just use the built-in email client or the YahooGo >> mail.

Mobilemail is free, in that you do not pay to receive mail. what you are paying for is using 3's SMTP server when sending. You need to find another. You could set up your own domain name at www.oneandone.co.uk and get authenticated SMTP for around £9 per year. > I have had Xseries since launch and can confirm it is superb and have > not been charged for included services. Can you get it on a 12 month contract ? |
