I just upgraded my Sony Ericsson X10i to Android V2.3 using the official Sony Ericsson Upgrade.

In the previous version 2.1 I was able to configure my Vodafone email accounts as mail clients.

In the new version I am able to configure other non-vodafone email accounts, but not Vodafone ones.

I'm using the following Android OS Incoming Server Settings:

Username: aaaaaaa@vodafone.net.nz
Password: ********
IMAP Server: imap.vodafone.net.nz
Port: 143
Security type: None
IMAP path prefix:

I have the following APN configured. APN: direct.vodafone.net.nz but I have also tried www.vodafone.net.nz as supplied within the Vodafone setup.

When applied the return message just says Username or password incorrect.

I tried doing this via WiFi too, but technically I'm on the same network as my service provider is iHug.

There is a Username/Password automatic setup option, however this also fails.

I have the same email addresses setup in Thunderbird email on a notebook PC and that work OK.

It's odd as SMS, MMS and everything else on the phone that I've checked works.

I did try Vodafone's, Email configuration 'template' selecting Sony Ericsson X10.
It sends an install message which actions the task when invoked on the mobile phone.
It created a VF WEB APN but no email client... Doh!
The APN is just the same as the standard Vodafone Internet APN.

Any ideas??? Thanks in advance.
