One of the most asked questions on the Mobile Fun Blogs and Forums at the moment is “How do I set up email on my Tocco” and although there are suggestions and a settings spread across the site, I thought I’d bring it all together into one post to make setting up your Hotmail<\/a><\/strong>, Gmail<\/a><\/strong> or Yahoo<\/a><\/strong> email accounts on your Samsung Tocco F480, Samsung Tocco Lite or Samsung Tocco Ultra quick and easy.<\/p>\n

Set up email on Samsung Tocco F480, Tocco Lite or Tocco Ultra<\/p><\/div>\n

Now, before I start I just want to say that these settings should work on all phones, not just the Tocco’s. You may find that they need a little tweaking depending on your network – particularly the SMTP settings. \u00a0Without getting too technical on you, the SMTP server is similar to your local sorting office, you send your letters there and they then get sorted and sent on to the person you sent the email to. In an attempt to cut down on the amount of spam being sent, some mobile networks restrict the SMTP servers that you can use and in most cases force you to use their own.<\/p>\n

So, if you set your phone up using the same SMTP server as your email provider, but find that you get an error message when you try and send a message, go back to the account settings and change the SMTP server to that of your network. Don’t panic if you don’t know what they are – I’ve listed them all for you at the end of this post.<\/p>\n

Ok, on to setting the phone up then. \u00a0All 3 Tocco handsets use the same menu system, so the process for setting them up is exactly the same. Make sure that the time and date on your phone are set correctly and then go to the \u00a0standby screen on your phone and then select\/touch the following:<\/p>\n

Messages -> Settings -> Email -> Email Accounts<\/p>\n

Depending on your phone and network, you may already find some accounts listed on this screen. \u00a0If you have got some listed here, you should reset them to avoid any confusion and prevent any errors. To do this:<\/p>\n

Highlight the account -> press options -> press ‘Reset’ -> press ‘Reset’ again when asked for confirmation -> Press ‘OK’<\/p>\n

Once you’ve done this for each of the account listed, select the top one (Account 1) press ‘Options’ and select ‘Edit’<\/p>\n

Now for the fun bit! You need to enter the settings listed below into your phone. \u00a0I’ve tried to keep the running order the same as is on the phone so it should be easy to follow. Where I’ve put ‘mypassword’ or ‘myemail@’ you should replace this with your password and email address.<\/p>\n
