Any ideas how to check AOL mail via the 6600?

Hi...
I've got a 6600 which i've had a while but only recently started using it's benefits, like WAP and MMS etc.

I'm signed up with AOL and have tried to access AOL through the WAP Browser but cannot for what ever reason... And since it's not a POP3 mail client i'm stuck really.

Anyone got any answers as to how to check AOL Email via the Nokia 6600?

Shouldn't be too much of a problem. I connect my 6600 to AOL using AOL Mobile and a standard connection through WAP. Go to AOL, sign up for AOL Mobile and send your AOL settings to your 6600. Open AOL on your 6600, save the page as a bookmark and then read and reply to your email as normal. You could also access AOL using a WAP GPRS Connection if your phone is set up for it.

Standard WAP through dial up connection is pretty slow but is likely to be included in your minutes, GPRS costs more based on the volume of information you download/upload.

I use a combination of both depending on what state my contract is in, but I also buy 5gb GPRS information per month through o2 for £4.00.

Oh ok then...

Let me try that first...
I found something on another forum which sort of explained how to set up the email part of the phone to deal with AOL, but to know, i can only send email and not receive for some reason, using the following set up:

imap.uk.aol.com
smtp.uk.aol.com

username = screenname
password as usual

That has actually worked in the phones email itself, but like i said, sending works but not receiving.
I'll try your method too and see what happens

Thanks Andy
Mark

Hmmm...

You mentioned you had AOL Mobile, i've scouted AOL but cannot seem to find anything that talks too much about getting it on your Mobile.
There's a section for PDA users, but i can't find anything for Phone users, unlessit was already previously installed in the phone by the manufacturer.

Any idea where you got yours from Exactly?

Just checked and it's still there where I left it! I'm using AOL 8 so it might be slightly different in another version but the principle is the same

Open AOL
Go to AOL Keyword
Type 'AOL Mobile'
Open AOL on your Mobile
Under Get Started, Open 'Sign up now'
Follow instructions
You should then be happy chappy
If not get back to me

You know, i'm on the phone to AOL now...
I'm over in the states you see and the phone company i have is not compatible with AOL... Cingular Wireless they are called, aparently have some issue with AOL where by you can't even sign onto AOL from the Cingular WAP.
I have Vodafone over there and it was fine, so that will make sense now...
Night mare... Well, thanks anyways Andy, good man
