If that be the case, I have done that but have not thouroughly tested it yet. So far so go though. the email client seems to start every time.

Still fails to start reliably, but it seems to work a little better than before.

Re: Email client fails

Hey, how timely. This just started happening to me today. ("Starting E-Mail" appears for 10-15 seconds, then nothing whatsoever happens.)

This thing is so irreperably useless, I think I might start using it to prop open the broken window in the bathroom.

Re: Email client fails

;) I do not know how everyone else uses ( or wants to use ) the builtin Email Client of the Nokia ITs. After reading all the issues and problems associated with it, I never really thought of bothering to use it. Also, if this has been done by someone else here at ITT before then, sorry to be repeating the matter in this post.

But just for the sake of it, I started mucking around with it last weekend. I am happy to say that I was able to make it work. This is to say that I have been able to configure the Email Client to fetch my gmail email without essentially sigining on to the gmail website. So now, I can simply turn on my Nokia 770 ( latest OS) and open the Email Client and tap ' Send/Receive '. This will make the Email Client to sign on to a nearby AP ( used before ) and then to Gmail and fetch the new Emails.

Here, I have to say that, I not yet tried this with the various and numerous other Free / Unsecured APs yet. I have not tried this with other Email Service Providers ( Hotmail, Excite, Lycos etc.) either.

Update : I just got to the Internet with my Nokia770 / Nokia 6682 Phone combo and fetched the latest Gmail Email. ;)

Re: Email client fails

I usually use gmail, but I've tried the internal email client just to see if it would work nicely with the company server (secure all the way: ssl on smtp and imails). It works fine, no problems. Not used it much. I have my automatic wi-fi connection configured "off".
