Email set up problems with Telstra (AUS)

[thedoc]

I have just upgraded from a DIAM 100 to a 130 so now 3G works beautifully.
However my mail set up fails to synchronise (both bigpond and windows live).
It will work on wifi but will not work otherwise (full 5 bars reception and internet does work.)
I figured it must be the settings for my telstra internet/wap setting however when i go into connections, it tells me that this is preconfigured and cannot be modified.
So has anyone else had this problem and how did you fix it.
I have wasted several hours of on hold to Telstra so I thought I would ask this forum first.
I have searched the fora without success for this problem.
Many thanks

I have exactly the same problem. I'm assuming the Teltra ROM is locked down and you can't do much with it.

The problem is the proxy settings, don't enter them and you will be able to use msn and email, but you will loose access to the "free to browse" Telstra pages

I had this problem and fixed pretty easily by going into email inbox tab, then press menu / tools / options then tap an account to change its settings. click 'edit account setup' press next a couple times until you get to a page with "Advanced Server Settings" down the bottom in blue. click on that and change the network connection box from 'The internet' to telstra internet. click done and next til the setup is finished and you should be able to get your mail over the 3G connection
