Step 1
Though I have tried and tried and tried and talked with people who basically said you can't do it, I will now tell you how to get email clients working on your Siemens SX66. It only takes a minute and is worth it. Everytime I start to talk about mine someone thinks I am trying to sell it. I do sell them and the more I play with mine the more I like it. At any rate. You will note on the 4 buttons on the front of your 66, one of them looks like an envelope. If you haven't changed any factory config, this is your shortcut to email.

Step 2
Once you press it you will see on the bottom ACCOUNTS. Press that word and a pop up will appear. Select NEW. There will now be a window that you put the WHOLE email address of the account you are trying to start. Click next. Nw the 66 is trying to automatically configure your email set up. Make note, if it doesn't complete, you can pretty well believe your email can't be set up. If you have a free yahoo mail, it can't do that. The server won't let it in. If your desperate you might download "YPOP" into your 66 but I wouldn't recommend it. I never could get it to work. Anyway, Once it completes click NEXT. ACCOUNT TYPE leave as POP3. NAME=123. You can name it what ever you want but make sure and name it something you recognize. At DOMAIN put 123.com. Obviously don't put 123, put what yours is.

Step 3
Click on options. On CONNECTIONS click on the drop down arrow and select the service your 66 is using to get on the internet in the first place. Mine is MEdia.Net. Also you can tell it how often you want it to search for your email, up to an hour at a time. When you look at your messgaes on your Today screen is you have that selected to show as I do, your list will grow automatically. Don't touch the next page, just click NEXT. When you retrieve your email, do you want just the header or the full email. Make that selection here. Click NEXT. On the top line put your first name. On the line that has your user name you might want to put the service name there.

Step 4
Let's say yours is Fred@123.com. On user name go ahead and put @123.com. If you can't get your mail just come back to this spot and take it out. The one that I use required it normally because it was a company email so I went ahead and put the whole thing in here. PASSWORD is rather obvious. Click NEXT. INCOMING MAIL=Mail.123.com OUTGOING MAIL= smtp.123.com. Click NEXT. The system will ask if you wish to get your email. Click YES and watch it go. Now leave it alone for a couple of minutes while it gathers all info. You will know it's done when it says so at the bottom. If you see one you want to read, click on it.

Step 5
If the page says it has been "TRUNCATED" that just means it only grabbed main info. Go back to previous screen. Tap and hold on THAT message till pop up shows. Select SEND/RECEIVE. Once done, select it again and all attachme nts and the message will be there. Your will never open an attachment as fast as this guy does. Once you open an attachment, it is automatically placed in your SD card. Can't open it without it. Now you can transfer the attachment wherever you wish. You can even send email with attachments here. Well. Have fun.
