View Full Version : Changing preconfigured e-mail settings on Treo 750v

Hi!

I picked up a used Treo 750v (on Vodafone) with a view to network-unlocking it to use with my exiting provider. However I think I've run up against a potential problem. Getting the Treo network-unlocked doesn't seem a issue, the codes are easy to come by for a small fee.

However on my XDA-Mini-S (Qtek 09100) which has never been locked to any network provider I'm able to specify server settings for Outlook mail, so for example I can use the excellent free push-email from mail2web.com which utilize MS Exchange servers.

I read somewhere that the Treo 750v is preconfigured with Vodafone server settings in this respect (yes, you can add additional POP3 and IMAP servers but not the ones typically used for MS Exchange servers in Outlook). Does anyone know if this is true and where I might hunt around on the Treo to try and find & edit these settings?

Many thanks all!

Steve

My 750v, did not come with any preset Exchange server, nor other e-mail settings. I purchased an unlocked 750V in the US, and i have changed server settings from Mail2web to Corporate servers without any issues.

ditto. i've got an unlocked vodafone 750 using push email from mail2web. you need to go into programs/ activesync to enter the server address etc.

Got it - thanks Mike.

I was initially mislead by a posting from an unlock-guy on eBay 'my service will unlock you from the network but not the preconfigured Vodafone e-mail & server settings'. Which I thought was a little odd but nothing mobile operators do surprises me hugely!

On the subject of unlocking - these guys worked fine for me and weren't the eBay people mentioned above. £11.99 UK.
