Nokia 6600 email on Meteor

moshpit77

I've recently got a Nokia 6600 which used to be on Vodafone but I'm using it with a Meteor sim card.

Does anybody know the Email settings to use the program on this phone with Meteor mail? e.g. incoming/outgoing mail servers etc.

Have tried the Meteor website but they only give mms and gprs settings, and emailing them has as usual got no reply

Look at the sticky up at the top of this section.
All settings for all the networks are there

oh sorry
misread your message
its the actual mailbox settings you need for checking a meteor email account
have searched all over the net for them and absolutely nothing???

you can POP meteor mail down to your device if you want... but they don't really have an open SMTP server to allow you to send email (appears to work to other @mymeteor.ie addresses but not outside)...

(using the Internet/ISP access point)
pop: mail.mymeteor.ie
smtp (not open): mail.mymeteor.ie
user: your-address@mymeteor.ie
pass: your-meteor-email-password

if you have your own email account that offers pop/imap and smtp you could use that instead?

yeah, the thing is I have succesfully set up my mymeteor email through outlook express on my pc, but that's using the eircom.net outgoing smtp because my internet account is with eircom.net

with the same settings on my phone and using meteor isp settings it won't connect, either to send mail or to receive mail

just tried it on a phone i'd previously set up and had working many months ago... and it won't connect now

they had done something to my account where my provision to the ISP access point was messed up... but fixed a few weeks ago when I noticed (only really use their data facilities for testing rather than every day use)... hadn't checked meteor mail from a handset since then though so who knows what they've done since it was working (partially: pop ok, smtp not)

last time i tried to chase up email details (their smtp support/capabilities) from Meteor they asserted their service was a Web Browser only email service... you might have better luck contacting them directly yourself... let us know how you get on

moshpit77

will do,

they do sell the nokia 6600 themselves on prepay, I'd be interested if anybody bought it and was this already set up on it

well I got a reply from Meteor...
