Can you retrieve mail from any ISPs (that you have an account with) pop3
mail server with the v551?

Actually, I considered trying to do that for a moment, than I decided I
didn't really need my 551 to open spreadsheet. So, I use the 551 for
voice and a PC for email.

The short answer is yes you can retrieve pop3 email from any ISP that will
allow you access to the mail server outside their domain. From what I have
seen retrieving email is usually no problem, however, sending email through
your ISP may be blocked unless you are logged into their domain. As an
example Earthlink prohibits using their mail servers unless you are logged
into your Earthlink account. They do this to combat spammers.

As for the value of using the V551 for email I generally attach the V551 to
my PDA via Bluetooth and download email headers that I can review. If there
is something important that I need to read or respond to I can download the
message onto the PDA. The advantage over a PC is that I am not tethered to a
wired LAN connection or a WiFi hotspot. Try using your PC on a subway or a
city bus...good luck.

Cheers

I really don't wish to open any files on the v551. I spend many hours
behind a corporate firewall that blocks my personal ISP mail account (and
others). So, I thought that at least I could check the headers and some
text-only messages from the phone.

I believe you can access your POP3 account from within the Media Net
connection. Go to the messaging section and set up your email account.

Yes Wireless,
But that is using the browser and the data downloaded counts towards the
plan. If I could get the POP thing to work it would be messages (like SMS)
rather than data - I think. So, my question revolves around the settings to
make POP3 mail work.

Nope -- it's data (not SMS).
