Hi rickyjune,

Welcome to xda-developers and congrats on getting an XDA. hopefully you won't be dissapointed. I can't help you with EZWAP but as far as cooking your own ROMS, it's quite easy and rarely goes wrong... if you use the SD Card method. There are numerous posts about this in the forum so I'll let you look them up. But briefly,

* Cook your ROM but choose the SD Card method, not the Program A. You can also cook the 2003 PPC version and it will work on XDA
* Get yourself an SD Card [minimum 32MB but as big a you can afford]
* Get yourself an SD Card reader, so your computer can read/write the card.
* Search for Jeffs tools for copying the SD ROM version onto an SD card.
* Use this tool to copy the ROM onto the SD Card. Don't use Windows explorer, it won't work.
* Put the SD Card into your XDA and go into bootloader mode and follow the instructions

It is worth the extra hassle, trust me.

Note: You will loose everything on your XDA by updating your ROm or just by going into bootloader mode [I think]

EZWAP 2.5 is so complex for just MMS ... better to try MMS Composer 1.6.12 or higher ... it's more simple in setup and more efficient

I presume you are using an O2 email account. I had a similar problem until I realised that it can take about fifteen minutes or so for your O2 email session to time out, if you haven’t logged out properly.

i.e. if you are reading your O2 mail on your desktop, and just close it down using the X button, then you are still logged in on the server. When you then try to get your mail on your handheld, it’s as though you are trying to begin a second session on the same user id and so the password screen keeps appearing.

If you need to alternate between devices rapidly, make sure you log out properly each time.
