Check my Outlook Express account emails via my mobile phone

Hi, Can anyone advise me as to how I can check my Outlook Express account emails via my mobile phone when away from my PC please? Thanks in advance. Tel

If every single mobile phone in the world was identical, yes we could.

Oh, but it's not an outlook express account, OE is the program you use to check the mail, the account is with the company that provides the email.

Also, as default OE downloads the mail from the mail server and then deletes it from the server, once it is deleted from the server the only copy of that mail is in your outlook express, so you can check mails on the phone before you get them in OE, but after you've got them in OE you can no longer look at them from any other computer or device.

Hi ChuckFickens, I have just bought the Nokia C5 and was told I could receive and send emails via my Outlook Express Account but am not sure if I just set up the phone as if it was my PC. It seems logical but thought I would check with people who know. Tel

Yep, it's setup just like you would on the PC you'l require...

POP3 server name
SMTP server name
Username (normally your full email address)
Password.

But, keep in mind my second post, unless you set OE to leave a copy of the mail on the server then you won't be able to see any mails that you've already downloaded using OE.

One of the best ways is to first make sure your phone is updated by sms update from your providers webpages. You need WAP and sms settings. Most offer an update service which you trigger yourself.
There are a lot of settings to do/check tho.
