Having big problems getting this phone to access my gmail account via
o2 prepay GPRS.

I have entered the settings an endless amount of times. Sought various
via various sites and help forums and tried all suggested settings. O2
not replying to emails.

Is there something I am really missing here. Perhaps it is something
so obvious. But I am starting to think o2 are somehow restricting pop
and SMTP traffic somehow.

Is somebody out there successful in having set this up? Or perhaps in
the same boat?

Heres the settings I have on my phone. All I get when I try to send
or receive is a message saying Finding server for about 5 mins and
then says Server not found.

Hello,

Check out http://customerforum.o2.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=1563

The OP on that thread was trying to get email access to o2.co.uk, o2
were telling her it wasnt possible, but it worked in the end.

IIRC O2 PAYG only allows WAP over GPRS.

ITYWF that O2 prepay GPRS does not allow full internet access, only to
their walled-garden WAP portal.
