Sky E-mail on a Mobile Phone
Hi,
I'm trying to set up access to sky e-mail on my mobile - a Nokia 6300. I think it's all set up OK but when I go to check mail I get an "Authentification Failure" and it says that my username and/or password are incorrect. I've also got a Google Mail account and I can access that OK from my mobile.
The same thing happened when I tried to import my Sky mail into Google mail. I had to type my Sky username and password into Google mail, but it said the two weren't matching, even though they were correct. Anybody have any ideas what the error could be?
Thanks,
Nigel

Re: Sky E-mail on a Mobile Phone
OK, I've solved this now - sort of! Looking at one of the other threads, I saw the link to www.sky.com/unlock. I don't really know what that is, but I thought, what the hell, let's try it. Anyway, I typed in my username and password on this site and it again says "username and password do not match". So I tried typing in my old password, which I was using up till about 3 weeks ago. Strangely, this worked.
So I changed the password settings on my phone to use my old Sky password and, hey presto, I can now get Sky e-mail on my phone.
But that begs the question, how come I can only get access to Sky on the net using my new password, whereas my mobile phone (and www.sky.com/unlock) still thinks I'm using my old password? Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Nigel
