We use IMAP on nokia phones with several providers, none of which are
orange alas. However, its fairly common for providers around the world
to prevent access to certain ports or kinds of traffic, particularly if
they offer an alternative option.

Lots of providers who offer push-email services will block pop3/imap
traffic because they want you to use their own push email (blackberry)
services. Most will, however, charge you if you really want to access
those ports.

Hi,

Surely it has nothing to do with the operator - you are just using their
GPRS network to send packets?

Or do they mean by "unsupported", that they block requests to an IMAP
server? (Does it work over the same ports as POP3?)

Hello All,

Has anyone on the list ever managed to use IMAP to retrieve their emails
on their mobile? I've just left Orange who told me that even though the
phone I had (Nokia 6230) supported it, they didn't.

Now I'm with O2 and they don't seem to support it even though the phone
does (Nokia 6280). All very annoying as my main email provider only uses
IMAP and I like it that way.
