Hello everyone, this is for everyone who would like to get POP3 E-Mail working perfectly on there Hermes.

Model: X01HT

Boot loader: 1.09

ROM: RUU_HERMES_HTC_WWE_1[1].35.255.2_1.35.255.102_1.08.00.10_SHIP.EXE

Carrier: Softbank

Alright, you might have gotten MMS mail to work as I did and then you realized that there are some heavy limitations that correspond with the MMS setup; however there are none with POP3. So POP3 is the obvious choice because it can work with Softbank’s free internet connection without having to do some nifty proxy action to get your MMS mail to work (and we are not sure that part is free yet). Thankfully there is a solution but being a newb like I am it took me a while to figure it out, and I believe there are other newbs out there, so this HOWTO is for all the newbz like me.

All right.

#1. Get a Gmail account, or if you have a pop account with another internet provider this will work too! However, you still need a Gmail account so you can use their SMTP server and send E-Mail from your phone! Your current provider's sendmail server won't work due to your ISP's security restrictions! You need a public sendmail server and the obvious choice is Google... since it's free... makes sense? Just agree damnitt! :D Ok, get your gmail account at www.gmail.com

#2. Go into Pocket Outlook or "Messaging" on your X01HT!

- Click on

- "Menu" -=>"Tools" -=> "New Account"

- Now you are at "E-mail Setup 1/5"

- Type in your email account which people will see as your return email address

eg. cool@gmail.com

or eg. cool@interbaun.com

- Now you are at the "Email Setup 2/5" Auto configuring

- It will do it's auto configuration so let it do it's thing

- Now "Email Setup 3/5" User Information

- Type in your name, people will see this name.

- Here is where it gets important, if you have a Gmail account, type in your username from your gmail account, if you are using your ISP's POP3 account, then type in your username from your ISP.

eg. cool

- On password of course type in your password from your Gmail account or your ISP's pop3 account, click on save password checkbox then click next.

- All right you are successfully on the "Email Setup 4/5" screen! WOO, that means you’re awesome.... I think, so... we are almost there. You should see something that says "Account Type: POP3" and name "Name this anything you want" then click on next.

- "Email Setup 5/5" is your heart beginning to beat fast... I know mine is.... I LOVE EMAIL... It’s so friggen exciting! OKKKK here we go... onto one of the final steps.

- Under "Incoming Mail:" write your mail server's name, if it is Gmail, then type, "pop.gmail.com:995" (995 is the port you are connecting on), if it is your own E-mail POP3 server from your own internet service provider usually it is just connecting on the default POP3 port of 110 and so you just need to type in your pop3 server.

eg. pop.interbaun.com

- Under Outgoing mail server this HAS TO BE LIKE THIS, because there are VERY few free mail servers in the world and Google just happens to be one of them, so I would highly recommend getting a Gmail account for this because.... it is free, free=good and "="=Softbank. HA ... never mind... OK… here we go... to continue the most step by step email setup in history... ok ... here we go..

- "Outgoing Mail: smtp.gmail.com:465"

- Click -=> "Options" (Options 1/3) then Click -=> "Next" -=> (Options 2/3) then this is important, if you are completely on Google, and you are using a google email address to pop, then you must click on "Require SSL Connection" but if you are using your ISP's email address then do not click on the checkbox.

- Click on "Outgoing Mail Requires"

- Click on "Use Separate Settings"

- Click on "Outgoing Settings"

- Type in your Gmail username under "Username"

- Type in your Gmail password under "Password"

- Click on the checkbox "save password"

- Click on "Require SSL for outgoing Mail"

- Click on "OK" in the top right hand corner of the friggen LCD screen damnitt :D

- Click on "Next" You will then see a message box and within the message box is "Get message headers only", you can change this to "Get full copy of messages" but... I don't, I really don't see any reason too, because we all get friggen spam and there will be an option below each email to download a full copy of the email if we want...so really there is no point cuz if you look underneath it, it will say in a checkbox "Include 2KB of message body" which is more than enough to get a good idea of what is going on..... Anyways.... yer done...

- Click on "Finish"

This has been brought to you just cuz, for some reason I had a seriously huge problem figuring this one out, anyways, hope this can help some people, and If you have any comments or questions, feel free to message me, it never hurts to help :D. And..... umm.. ya... gnite'!
