I recently signed up for T-mobile Web and am trying to connect via the bluetooth modem on my cell phone. Everything works as advertised, except for Powermail. To get email, Tmobile sets up a pop-server called myemail.t-mobile.com which acts as a bridge to my real email servers. Supposedly, mail clients can then check mail using the following account configuration:
POP server: myemail.t-mobile.com SMTP server: myemail.t-mobile.com User account: [my-mobile-phone-number]:n where n is a digit assigned by t-mobile for each email address I add. Password: the real email password on the real mail server I created a new account Powermail with this information, but when I try to connect to download mail, I get the following: Hostname "myemail.t- mobile.com" not found during DNS lookup However, nslookup is able to find the correct IP address, and replacing the hostname with the IP address generates the same error. Apple mail works and is able to connect and download the mail. Does anyone know how to get Powermail to work for this kind of connection? Thanks, jrh John R. Hopper
