    There's a captcha now? On Google?


  3. Yeah, it says i might be a virus or something like that, and I have to fill out what the letters say.

    Seriously, what if you want the virus? Google's not to say what you do and don't want.

    I've never seen the captcha before - only on Gmail.
  5. Right, I've got a Samsung J700i and in anticipation of this summer, I wanna set up my phone so I can send pictures to Twitpic via. email, but I'm having problems setting it up. Vodafone have stopped new registrations for now because they're launching some new fangled service soon (wish I'd known when I got my phone!) so I tried to set up an account on my phone using my GoogleMail details and I keep getting a message saying 'unable to access server'. Anyone got any brainwaves for things I could do or haven't done?

    Don't get me started on Vodafone. I could kill the bastards, which actually isn't a bad idea when I think about it. And I refreshed the page and it (Technology Topic) was at the top - I didn't go looking, honest - and I can't resist not seeing the latest addition to it.

    But to help you...from here.




    Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - requires SSL: pop.gmail.com
    Use SSL: Yes
    Port: 995
    Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS: smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
    Use Authentication: Yes
    Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
    Port: 465 or 587
    Account Name: your full email address (including @gmail.com or @your_domain.com)
    Email Address: your email address (username@gmail.com or username@your_domain.com)
    Password: your Gmail password


    Please note that if your client does not support SMTP authentication, you won't be able to send mail through your client using your Gmail address.

    Also, if you're having trouble sending mail but you've confirmed that encyrption is active for SMTP in your mail client, try to configure your SMTP server on a different port: 465 or 587.
    # You're now ready to use POP with your Gmail address.


    You tried all that?

    You don't want to get me started - I'll put the call centre staff in a headlock.

    Have fun typing all that. For your sake I hope it works.

    Chances are this is going to sound incredibly troglodyte-ish lol, but anyway;

    On GoogleMail, I set it to enable ALL POP stuff, i.e. the first of the 3 options on display, IMAP is disabled. Now, on my phone, I've gone to message >> settings >> emails >> mailbox setup wizard where I assume I type in all that malarky?
  10. This is for a Samsung 2006-07-ish phone, but I guess the general stuff is pretty similar.

    # From standby, press Menu to enter the main menu.
    # Highlight ‘Messages’ and press Select (Figure 1).
    # Scroll down to the fifth item, called ‘Settings’, and press Select (Figure 2).
    # Choose ‘Emails’ and press Select (Figure 3).
    # Now highlight ‘Email accounts’ (Figure 4) and press Select. Choose ‘Account settings’ (Figure 5) and press Select.
    # By default, all the items in the Account settings will be blank so press Select to set up your first email account in the ‘Account 1’ slot.
    # You start with the ‘Account name’ text box highlighted. Enter a name for your account such as ‘Gmail’. Press Down on the direction pad to continue (Figure 6).
    # Under ‘User name’, enter your own name, then press Down on the direction pad.
    # Highlight ‘Email address’ and enter your full email address. Press Down on the direction pad.
    # You should now have reached ‘SMTP server’ settings (Figure 7). Enter the SMTP (outgoing) server address, or if you don’t want to send emails from your phone, you can leave this blank. Press Down on the direction pad to continue.
    # Unless you have skipped the last part, enter the SMTP port number and Down on the direction pad (Figure 8).
    # Ensure POP3 is shown in the ‘Protocol type’ box. If not scroll Left or Right until it appears.
    # Scroll down to highlight ‘POP3 server’ and enter your POP3 (incoming) server address. Press Down on the direction pad to continue.
    # Enter the POP3 port number.
    # Now you need to enter your ‘User ID’. Highlight it and enter the User ID required by your email account. Press Down on the direction pad when you’ve finished.
    # Enter your email password then press Down on the direction pad.
    # If you are required to use SMTP authentication, press the ‘i’ button in the centre of direction pad to mark the check box.
    # Scroll down to ‘Secure connection’. If your email provider needs a secure connection (sometimes called SSL) press right or left to ensure it is set to ‘On’.
    # Now press Save to store your new email profile

    So it did work? I never thought it would.

    Even though you got it fixed, I am going to detail my rant tomorrow afternoon. It is an epic, spread out over three weeks...the story of the week. More exciting than the tour, let me assure you. * It is that good. *




    * Not really, but you've gotta build up the hype somehow.
