hi all, i recently got my shiny new M600 from the Craighall Vodashop, who by the way were awesome in sourcing it for me.
the first thing i tried to setup, since this is a messaging phone is, email. after days of struggling i've finally found the solution. the problem lies in the stupid vlive account settings.
delete the vodacom internet account and setup a new one with this information:
account name : <your preference>
address: internet
proxy server adress : 192.168.1.27
proxy port : 80
the proxy settings is in the more menu.
add it to the internet group as the priority one connection.
on to google mail settings.
BASIC
account name : <your preference>
your name : <your mail adress including the @gmail.com>
email address : <your mail adress including the @gmail.com>
connection type : pop
INBOX
incoming server : pop.gmail.com
username :<your mail adress including the @gmail.com>
password: <your password>
OUTBOX
outgoing server : smtp.gmail.com
use smtp auth : ticked
use inbox login details : ticked
the go more | advanced
INCOMING
secure connection : ssl
incoming mail port :995
secure password authentication : unticked
OUTGOING
secure connection : ssl
outgoing mail port : 465
use mime encoding : ticked.
i've also managed to setup my phone to receive my outlook mail via the outlook web exchange protocol. you need to download exchange activesync from here.
if you have a "push email already installed" error just uninstall the blackberry that comes standard. (took me two days to figure that out
)
the setup procedure is a bit cumbersome so if you need to do it pm me.
and thats it for my first post
cheers
