Setting up POP mail on the Sidekick ID
By admin | February 3, 2008
Setting up POP mail on the sidekick ID has been a problem for many people with very few people offering help or information how to do it. The biggest problem is that many people think they have POP mail access when in fact they don’t. So this isn’t really a limitation to the phone but more on the email providers side.
To clarify a few things here are some important facts to know about
- Yahoo free mail only offers POP email if you are in the UK.
- Gmail offers free POP email but you have to enable it in gmail (settings)
- Hotmail offers no POP email access
- AOL does offer POP mail access
- Most ISP’s like your cable internet provider do offer POP access.
What if my mail provider dosen’t offer pop?
You can always setup your email provider (yahoo, hotmail, etc) to FOWARD your emails to a different account. This means that if someone sends an email to your yahoo account it will automatically be sent to a different account. This different account would be an account that does have POP access which you would then setup on your sidekick ID. To do this all you need to do is login to your email acccount, set the email address you want to foward and then setup your SidekickID to use the new email account for pop.
Setting up AOL POP on your sidekickID
- Under General, select “Collect email from this account.”
Next Account > Protocol: Select POP/SSL. - Mail server: pop.aol.com. Port: 995.
- Enter username and password.
