You can use Vodafone Direct E-mail to link your HTC S710 to up to 5 e-mail accounts, thus allowing you to send and receive your e-mails wherever and whenever you like.
The service is only available with free e-mail accounts from Internet service providers (POP3/SPOP and IMAP4/SIMAP), e.g. skynet.be, telenet.be, gmail.com, yahoo.fr, etc.
Introduction
This document describes how to activate Vodafone Direct E-mail for an HTC S710 Proximus Collection
In the rest of this document an APN (Access Point Name) means a data connection which needs to be used on your telephone so that you can log onto the Internet. There is a Data option on your telephone for each APN. Your Proximus Collection telephone is preconfigured to use the GPRS Internet connection (APN = internet.proximus.be).
What you will need Please make sure that you check the following points before you start the configuration:
Make sure that the Vodafone Direct E-mail option is properly activated on the PDA’s GSM line; once you have subscribed to the option you will receive a text message on your telephone confirming that the option has been activated within ten minutes (see page 3).
Make sure that your HTC S710’s battery is charged with enough power
Make sure you have at least one of your e-mail addresses and the password to it. (When you configure your e-mail address you may also need to know the name of your e-mail supplier’s POP/IMAP server)
Make sure you have checked that the time and date are set correctly on your terminal. Please also make sure that your telephone is set to the right time zone. An incorrectly configured terminal is one of the major causes of problems.
Make sure that your terminal is not connected to your computer.
The procedure described below allows you to:
download the Direct E-mail software via the activation text message or via the Internet browser
activate the first e-mail account.
N.B. • If you want to access a Gmail (@gmail.com) or Yahoo France (@yahoo.fr) account, you will first need to activate the POP message recovery protocol via the e-mail supplier’s web interface (see appendix). • The Vodafone Direct E-mail service is incompatible with the Hotmail (@hotmail.com, @hotmail.fr) e-mail systems

Frequently Asked Questions
On activation, I only received my last 50 messages on my telephone whereas the maximum number of messages is set to 200. Is this normal? Yes. However, based on this synchronisation your new messages will be added to this first batch until you reach 200 e-mails (the system itself handles the deletion (on the mobile phone only) of the oldest messages once the maximum number of messages has been reached).
I notice that I am permanently connected via GPRS/3G. Is this normal? Yes, this is the standard way that Vodafone Direct E-mail works, allowing you to receive your e-mails in real time. The Vodafone Direct E-mail package is specially set up so that you do not have to worry about the connection time
Please note: Incorrect time/date/time zone settings on the telephone are one of the main causes of problems.
