GPS is Global Position System, which tells you where you are.
GPRS is General Packet Radio Service [I bet you're glad you asked now!]. Without GPRS you would have to dial-up to access the internet, therefore you are charged per minute whilst connected. GPRS is basically like a mobile broadband where you don't dial-up, but you pay according to the amount of data.

Therefore, make sure you are using GPRS and not dial-up (CSD)!

If you have an email enabled phone, you can setup any email account, just as you can in a PC (eg in Outlook Express). You can program in the settings yourself, but some phones are available on Orange's setup site at http://setup.orange.co.uk/.
