Email on a Motorola V3i

[FelixTCat]

I've had the phone for a long time now, but recently decided to set it up for email. I don't just want to use O2's email, but also to use my usual email server GMX.

However, I've been a total failure in setting it up. I also cannot do any internet browsing (for Webmail sites). Can anyone help with the settings I need to access the internet and email through O2, please?

Thanks,

Felix

I found the answer to this myself. It applies to any PAYG phone on O2 for email, though other phones may use slightly different terminology. I haven't been able to access the web for browsing yet - that will be my next task.

The required settings are:
