Japanese email through Wap
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Hi guys.

Been trying like hell with googlemail via opera, yahoo mail and hotmail - but can't get japanese email to work via wap.

Please can someone give advice or tips as to what service to use etc etc?

I use hotmail .com but i guess .co.jp might work? I will try later - but if you've done it already let me know!

If you're with Vodafone they may be to blame - since their servers don't support Japanese, everything has to be routed through them, thus it will screw up.

But I can view websites in Japanese and have read emails sent to me in Japanese.

It's only when I send an email through one of these apps that it fails. However, I have done this before on a computer with Jap support and have MSN do they same. It seems pretty fickle. I will just get a .co.jp email and get back to you on this one.

I use Google mail through Opera on my 902, and it works great.
Also, yahoo japan e-mail accounts work well for that.

I use my g-mail account with opera to send e-mails in Japanese all the time.

I just did that too. For some reason, it's worked.

What font size setting do you have, and what is the page you visit to check your mail?

I tried this once before and it didn't work. How strange. Work's now though!

Do you miss T9 on the 902SH or do you not care much for it?

Posted by: audiolines

Not really,
Actually, the main reason I got the phone was to be able to recieve and send e-mails in japanese.

To be honest, I usually dont use T9. I find I can type faster without it. But that's just me I guess.

OK, well thanks for the reply anyway!

Got a photo of your 902SH?

It always sounds like you're pissed off when you post to me. Just a feeling I get.

I'm not. It's just built in me

Thanks btw for testing. Time to go talk to Vodafone. You use Vodafone right? On contract?

Yep. Vodafone, contract. Just started up with them after they destoyed 3's deal (they must really like me).

I can post the settings here if you would like them - although I think they're the same in another thread I created for MMS + WAP.

Some email sites get garbled - but googlemail seems to be doing just fine through Opera.
