Help Needed Configuring Email

[aerofeet]

When I'm in gallery mode viewing pictures, there's an send option which allows you to send the pic via email. How do I set up and email for use with this feature? I need some assistance.

I'm in the USA. I have a hotmail account, gmail account, and I'm on T-mobile's data plan with a Tmomail email. When I called T-mobile for assistance the told me that the Tmomail account can only receive emails, and I can't send emails using that account.

Can anybody advise me how to set up an email/mailbox on the phone to send pics?

PS: I searched and read through the other email threads (twice), but did not find a solution to my problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In order to use Hotmail with your N95 you'll have to download and install Windows Live Messenger. This is the only way to get hotmail on N95. Haven't tried it (with Mail) myself but you can give it a try. Should be easy to get started; download and install (install "dep.sisx" first), start and logon using your hotmail/messenger account.
Here's info about finding/downloading Messenger: http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/forum...dows+Messenger

To use Gmail on your phone:
1. First enable pop on your Gmail account (logon mail.gmail.com using browser on PC), select Settings\Forwarding and POP\Enable POP.
2. Create mail account on N95: When in "Messages" select Options\Settings\E-mail\E-mail accounts\Options\New e-mail... Run wizard and select POP3 => Add your e-mail adress =>
On "incoming..." type 'pop.gmail.com' =>
On "outgoing..." type 'smtp.gmail.com' =>
Select dataconnection to use when connecting. =>
Give your mail account a name e.g. "Gmail". => 'OK'

3. When back in view "E-mail accounts", highlight the created account and select Options\Open\Connection settings\Incoming... => Scroll down to "Security ports" and select 'SSL/TLS'. Leave 'Port' at 'Standard'. Also add your google mail account user name and password in appropriate fields.
4. Go back 'Connection settings' and select 'Outgoing...'. Scroll down to '"Sec. ports" and select 'StartTLS'. Set Port to '465'.
Also add your google mail account user name and password in appropriate fields.

If you successfully set up gmail you can then forward all your accounts to that account and get all email through that route! You can set your gmail preferences to maintain your seperate email identities! All very civilised.
Plus you can speed it all up with mobile gmail!

superswede, you are a savior. Thank you so very much.

Windows messenger live works, gmail works.

One more question, is there any way to set up the hotmail account as a mailbox, such that when I choose "send image" from gallery view, I can choose to send it via hotmail?

Right now, the work-around is to go to messages -> windows live -> create message -> insert image.

[superswede]

I don't know since I'm not using Hotmail my self but my guess would be that if you've successfully installed WLM and logged into the Windows Live Hotmail option, the "Send => Via e-mail" would give you the option to choose between your configured e-mail accounts (Hotmail vs Google).

When I choose "Send" and "Via e-mail" from my gallery it by default uses Gmail account.

If you're having trouble sending e-mail through gmail try changing Sec.ports to SSL/TLS (port 465) in outgoing settings.

T-mobile ( Tmobile ) user here:

Before I got my N76, I had my Nokia 6170 and when I went to send an email, it would ask me the server# (I would put in 500) and it would send the message from mynumber at tmomail dot net. And if someone replied to that message, it would come back to my cell.

Now, on my N76, I have to configure a mailbox first. So I configured a Gmail one. And now when I send an email from my cell, it sends using my gmail account.

But I would rather have it send from my tmomail account so that I could get replies right back to my phone. I have the gmail app downloaded so that I can go in and out of my gmail account as need be.

Does anyone know what I can do to get this going on my N76? My 6170 did it automatically.

yeah, and I had that set up, but I don't need email like that on my cell phone so I'm good with the gmail app. I want to be able to send and receive messages to and from my tmomail number though.

Especially right now, I have a cousin visiting the UK and I know to send (and maybe even receive?) messages from his UK cell will cost me 15 or 20 cents each time. But if I could email his cell directly from my cell and receive messages directly to my cell, then it probably wouldn't cost me anything.

Hi aerofeet

Windows Live should have already set up a mail box look in messages and it should already be there.

I thought I'd rekindle this thread, because I'm still looking for a solution here. I have a nokia N76 with Tmobile. I would love to reply back to messages I get on my cell @tmomail.net.

My cousin has a T-mobile Dash and while at my desktop at work on my gmail, I sent a text to him via my gmail to his cell's email address: 240xxxxxxx@tmomail.net. He was able to reply to the message and it came back to my gmail as showing up from his @tmomail.net addy. It had some tmobile images attached to it.

I know I can set up my N76 for gmail imap and use that to reply, but I would prefer to reply to messages via my tomomail.net account so that they'll know I'm sending and replying from my cell and will send appropriate replies.

After coming across this info:
http://wiki.howardforums.com/index.p...l#POP_Settings

I thought I'd try to get the missing pieces of info that I needed (password for example). I just shot T-mobile an email seeing if they can be of any help. Here is what I asked:

Hello,

I have a tmobile account and have set up MYFIRSTNAME@tmomail.net to be used to send emails to my phone. So instead of people wanting to email me at MYPHONENUMBER@tmomail.net, they can email me at MYFIRSTNAME@tmomail.net.

I wanted to set up my cell phone to be able to email people on my own straight from my cell from my FIRSTNAME@tmomail.net. In my Nokia N76's settings, I have:

1) my username set to MYPHONENUMBER:1
2) my outgoing mail server set to myemail.t-mobile.com
3) the port is 25
4) the access point in use set to MMS.
5) My email address is set to MYFIRSTNAME@tmomail.net

What is my password? also, what about security ports?
