I recently unlocked my siemens sl56 cellphone. now I am able to use it with Tmobile. I cannot use my same pop3 account that I used with at&t wireless.

Now I must configure a new POP3 account in the mail settings.

I was wondering if anyone can help me in filling out the fields so that I may send attachements such as pictures to the internet. Here are the fields. I have a hotmail account that I can configure.
I know it all seems self explanitory but i've put in all of my hotmail information in the fields and it still wont' connect to send my email. Is there any other configuration that I have to do besides in the mail settings? thank you for reading this. Your help is much appreciated.

*User settings*
Provider:
Username:
Email addr:
Reply-t Addrres:
User ID:
Password:

*mail Settings*
Types: (choice of pop3 or imap4)
Pop3 server:
Pop3 port:
Imap4 Server:
Imap4 port:
SMTP server:
Smtp port:
SMTP Authentic: (choice of yes or no)
SMTP password: (only if you chose 'yes' for above field)

Sorry it's so long, but i really want to configure this phone and hopefully someone can tell me what needs to be in these fields.

Provider: Whoever the WAP provider is e.g mine is 02-Games
Username:the user name you use for the email account.
Email addr:your email account address
Reply-t Addrres:the address you want people to reply to
User ID: self explainatory - the name you use to login your email
Password: same as above

*mail Settings*
Types: pop3
Pop3 server: the pop3 server for hotmail e.g mine is pop3.blueyonder.co.uk
Pop3 port:leave blank or find the port
Imap4 Server: leave blank
Imap4 port: leave blank
SMTP server: your incoming server e.g smtp.blueyonder (note no www. on either smtp or pop3
Smtp port: find the port of your wap provider or email, not sure which one (sorry)
SMTP Authentic: leave alone
SMTP password: leave alone

I hope these are useful. I have trouble sending email from my phone but that's because blueyonder doesn't like 02. I can receive emails without a problem.

With hotmail being a free "web-based" (as in, not outlook-based) email and, not one provided by an ISP you might have trouble with it. I think it may have always been the case because the phone has to dial up to the account. With hotmail you have to connect to the internet and then login via an interface. The point of pop3 is that it goes direct to the account.

Let me know how you get on.

I see. htank you so much. I am going to call tmobile and see if they have a wap/pop3 account for me already so that I can configure it based on the info you provided

I have problems with pop3 configuration and find that is not the phone settings but the network. Be sure to activate data service (not the same as wap). In my case gprs and wap work ok but data is a different thing to activate than wap.

Yeah, good point. Here in the UK, you can get away with only having your wap on. It's a bit slower but I still get my emails.
