Thanks for your reply. I can see no menu setup for "mail server". The only
thing connected with the internet is a GPRS setting which is blank, and so
gives no clue as to what I could/should type in there.

Brontosaurus Nokia 7250i

The CSR told me (but only after I asked him the third time), that the
casual data rate I'll be paying is, pro rata, $1.20/MB. Though as I'm
talking about short text emails, then I'm okay with that. I sure won't
be installing a browser.

Their FAQ leads me to Optus configuration settings where I see 4 choices.
For this handset, I can get WAP and mms settings sent by SMS. Are either
of these likely to help with that method of sending email? The phone is
not listed under email or GPRS settings.
