Wondering if anyone can clarify for me whether I can get my ISP email onto my iPhone4 using the Speakout data/browsing plan? I currently can get my email through WiFi via IMAP. But I just set up the data plan today on the 24-hour trial and, although it allows me to browse the web via 3G, I cannot receive/send email when WiFi is off.
Note that I'm not talking about Web-based email, such as Gmail or Hotmail. I'd like to get my "home" email, the ones that come through my ISP account, when I am not near a WiFi signal.
Is this possible to do with the SO data plan? If so, what do I need to do?
Thanks,
Mike

SpeakOut has a unlimited browsing plan, not a data plan. I've only heard of people getting Gmail etc through the browsing plan, not their ISP email.

no IMAP/POP etc. , period.
In fact on iphone 4, even yahoo would not work using the builtin client, as it is a convoluted IMAP. On Android though, it would work as the yahoo app there use http/https(i.e. web protocol) to access the service.

Did you try adding it as a activesync account like with gmail?
Or you could setup a gmail/hotmail account to check your other email account if possible, then set it up as and activesync/exchange if possible.

Thanks for your replies. Based on what you're saying, iamdrumming and chimpanzee, sounds like I'm out of luck. That was my main reason for wanting the browsing plan. Unless your suggestion, Jon2010, of setting it up as an activesync account works -- only problem is that I have no idea how to do that. Are you able to give me a step-by-step so I can give it a shot?
Thnx

very few ISP support ActiveSync/Exchange, if any.
best alternative is to get a gmail then retrieve your ISP email via IMAP and retrieve gmail via activesync/exchange, which works over UMB.

Most ISPs these days have webmail access to your email account. You can use the browser to do email that way. Yahoo and Gmail work fine through the browser. If your ISP doesn't have webmail you need to change ISPs, that's kind of standard these days.
