E71 email setup "bug" and solution

    Don't know if any of you had that problem, but the e71's setup wizard works well automatically configuring most email accounts...most! There are anomalies, like my friend's @yahoo.ie account which is pop3 but the wizard insists on making it imap... The problem is, when you try to change that manually, the phone says you can't, and that you have to setup a new account instead. Which takes you back to square one (unless that account is one on the list at nokia's advanced settings page, which @yahoo.ie e.g. IS NOT)...

    Kovacz over at ixplora.com figured out the easiest way to configure email accounts manually:
    Switch the phone to offline mode. Then let the wizard configure your email. Obviously, it'll fail while offline, and bang: you're allowed to configure manually! Funny bug, and I'm sure the next fw update will fix it, but in the meantime the offline trick works well :)
