Setting up email and Internet

EmailSmartphone devices can connect to POP and IMAP email accounts to download and send email. This section provides a summary of how to set up a Smartphone 2002 device for email and web access.

If you have a more recent Windows Smartphone, see our updated Windows Mobile Smartphone connected page

To connect your Windows Smartphone, you'll need to have an account with an Internet provider. You may wish to use your existing Internet account, or apply for a free account that can be used with your device.

For the purposes of this walkthrough, we're going to assume that you are in the UK and that you want to create a new dial-up account with an Internet Service Provider. Here, we're using a free dial-up BT Yahoo dial-up account. If you don't have an existing dialup account, then sign up for one from BT Yahoo free-of-charge and get a pay-as-you go account. There's no subscription fee, and you only pay standard call rates for the time you're online. We're rather keen on BT Yahoo for on-the-move access to email and web.

To get an account, first, go to register.btinternet.com from a PC, select "Pay as you Go" and create an account. You'll then get some details that you'll need to set up your account on your Smartphone. Then, looking at the Smartphone, follow these instructions:
