I just realized over the weekend that I have been lying about being able to send POP3 e-mail from Yahoo! and work over GPRS. I thought that a couple of weeks ago I successfully tested it, but over the weekend I was not able to send any.

As an FYI, over W-Fi I am able to send messages flawlessly. I think this implies that my Account settings for my Inbox work for both e-mail accounts.

Do I really need to use the T-Mobile e-mail service? I'd rather stay away from that as I see no added value in it.

Any thoughts?

Open your inbox on the PPC and goto Tools -> Accounts. Edit your email account. On the server information page (email setup 4/4) tap Options. Goto page 2/3 and select 'Outgoing email server requires authentication'. That should get you working.

Was already using that setting. It appears to be working now. Do you think there's a size limitation over a GPRS connection?

I will watch this and see if it continues to work consistently.

THanks for the quick reply!

Elmer,
I am having the same problem as you. After Talking to a tmobile tech level 2, he said there is a known issue when sending email over gprs over 2k in size. They say ther are working with HP to correct the issue.

When I have to send an email, I have to wardrive to find an open WiFi network to send it. It is SO frustrating.

There is no size limitation with GPRS, just a bandwidth limitation. From What I've heard T-Mobile knows about an issue sending e-mail with attachments on the 63xx, with time resolution date as of yet.

The more I use this the more I think it's a bandwidth limitation. What's I've done is store all my e-mails in the Drafts folder and when using GPRS, I send them one at a time. I also try to limit the size of the message to 2-3k. A little tedious but it gets the job done.

Did you install the XIP Update that came out a while back? I thought that was supposed to fix stuff like this?

What kind of errors do you get when sending them all at once?

You are correct - the XIP update will fix the problems!

I've been able to succesfully send emails in excess of 10k. While I still get a time out error every now and then, I think it's due more to signal strength.
