Setting up email on the Motorola KRZR K1

You can send and receive emails from your POP3 accounts (e.g. your web email accounts) on your Motorola KRZR, meaning you don’t have to log in on a PC to keep in touch with people.

First of all, check with your email provider to see if your account is compatible. Most Internet email providers use POP3 accounts.

Some webmail suppliers offer POP3 access but while Gmail offers POP3 for free, Hotmail users only get it as part with an account upgrade. Yahoo Mail users must upgrade to its premium service to use POP3 email, although at the moment yahoo.co.uk (not yahoo.com) users can still activate POP3 for free by logging in to the email service and selecting Options.

Before setting up your email account on your Motorola KRZR, make sure you have the following email settings to hand:

Email address/Username - Usually the part before the '@' in your address, but can be the whole address. Ask your email provider if you are unsure
Password - Your email password
Incoming (POP3) server - If it's not in the table below, your email provider will be able to supply this. You'll usually find their details on their website
Outgoing (SMTP) server - This depends on which mobile phone network you use. See the table below for details.

Note: your email provider's POP3 settings will also contain details of the Outgoing (SMTP) server. You will NOT need this to set up email on your mobile.

To configure your email account on your Motorola KRZR, take the following steps:

• On the Menu screen highlight Messages. Click Select (Figure 1).
• Scroll down to Email Msgs and click Options (Figure 2).
• Scroll down to Setup (Figure 3) and choose Email Msg Setup (Figure 4).
• Select Account settings (Figure 5) and then [New Entry], then enter your email provider’s details.
• Under Account Name enter a title for your email account, e.g. Yahoo or Gmail.
• Under Name, enter your name as you want it to appear on the emails (Figure 6).
• Under User ID and Password enter your account’s log-in details.
• Highlight Return address and enter your email address.
• Highlight Web Session and choose your mobile Internet provider.
• Highlight Sending Host and enter your account’s Outgoing SMTP server address of your mobile network (See below). The Sending port should read 25. If not, change it and click Done (Figure 7).
• Highlight Receiving Host and enter the POP3 server name for your email provider (See below) and click Done. Then make sure that Receiving port reads 110. Then click Done (Figure 8).
• You're now ready to send and receive emails on your mobile phone.
