Topic: Access esmith mail from Nokia 7650

[Gary Parker]

Hi ppl...
  I bought myself a shiny new Nokia 7650 phone today (on Orange, in the UK) and it has the ability to access IMAP and POP3 mail so I've been trying to get it to access the mail on my esmith at home, but without much joy

The esmith is on a cablemodem with a dyndns account and I've set it to allow public access to POP3 and IMAP in the email settings cotrol panel. I've tested this from another PC on the Internet and it works just fine.

Now, the Orange (my mobile carrier) howto tells me that I have to put my ISP's dialup settings in as an access method but as I have a cable modem I obviously don't have any dial-in details! Does anyone know if I can just use the Orange GSM setting that the phone uses for WAP access instead? I've tried setting it to use this and gives me a 'General Error' on the phone each time I try to access mail

Has anyone had any joy setting this up already or am I engaged in a hopeless pursuit?

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

I use myself a mobile phone to access my emails from my sme server without problems. (Nokia 6310i / Ericcson T68i / IPAQ)

You simply need to configure the mail settings on the mobile phone. Myself I entered as IMAP server 'mail.mydomain.com' .

Of course you need to set the POP and IMAP server access to public (in the server.manger) to be able to access the mails from outside your local network.

You can also access your mails via the wap therefore you can create an ibay and then install a wml script (can be found under www.hotscripts.com), which will enable you to read & send mails over the wap. (I created a virtual domain called wap.domain.com) where I can access my wap website & also my mails.

PS. I'm using SME 5.5

I've used several scripts on the SME, as well as third-party gateways, to access my mail account on the SME via my Nextel...

Rodrigues,

I am also running SME 5.5 and have IMAP & POP3 set to public access. I also have a Nokia 6310i, yet cannot determine how to configure it to allow access to my SME server.

I am subscribed with Telstra MobileNet in Australia. Is it possible they configuration of their service will not allow this function ?

Any help would be appreciated.

With the Nokia 6310i only you can access the emails over the wap.

Create an Ibay and then go to
http://pof.eslack.org/projects/?project=pofhq-wapmail  there you can download a IMAP script for the wap (php must be enabled in that Ibay).
Then you need to edit the config.php files to suit to our server configuration.

That's all . (Works for me)

Hey guys....thanks for the pointers there.

I wound up setting myself up a Tiscali 'pay-as-you-go' type Internet dial-up acct for my 7650 to dial into as the Orange WAP access point wouldn't get me access to the Internet proper.

Next I enabled public access for the IMAP/POP3 server. I can now view my mail quite happily on the 7650 but cannot send as the SMTP server obviously won't accept connections from outside the local network. Anyone have any suggestions here?

Rodrigues, Im interested in your wap setup. Ive extracted into an ibay but would like your insight on the config.php and mods needed to make this work

Due to a lot of requests I've put an online tutorial with the needed scripts online.
