Anyone with iPhone, T-Mobile (contract) & Web'n'Walk ?

not ideal, but there is an app called getmail that you can install on a PC that regularly fetches and sends-on an email to another email account for you - which you might be able to access via POP. I considered this until I got an S60 phone and installed the Windows Live client on it which supports Hotmail integration.

AFAIK the T-mobile Instant email only supports Blackberry devices (it might be able to fetch the mail from an IMAP server, but can only push out to a Bberry or something that supports the Blackberry service - I think there are a few non-RIM devices that do)

Can't advise on whether or not the iPhone will be able to retrieve mails direct from your work servers.

That's not quite true. There are other phones which work fine with T Mobile instant email. Any HTC phone which supports push email will work with T Mobile in this way.

T-Mobile "instant e-mail" (now called Windows Mobile e-mail) is almost certainly a rebranding of Exchange ActiveSync, which is compatible with basically all recent Windows Mobile phones, and a bunch of others (e.g. Nokia E-Series, and once iPhone software 2.0 is out then even the iPhone...).

But it's not necessary to just check e-mail from your phone over POP/IMAP.

I got an unlocked iPhone 3G (in Italy), put in my t-mobile SIM and activated using my Mac. Now I suspect that it is probably a Mac thing, but all my email accounts were automatically installed, and worked instantly. I am having trouble sending from one of them, but only with 3G, and not Wi-Fi. You can set them all up manually via Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars, but I didn't need to. (If you have a good friend with a reasonably up to date Mac, he can open a user account on his machine and let you configure your email accounts there, then transfer them to the phone; you can delete your user account from the Mac afterwards). The only thing I did have to do manually was set up 3G access. This is via Settings>General>Network>Advanced. The APN is general.t-mobile.uk, user is user and password wap. 3G now works absolutely fine. My 3 IMAP accounts show up whether I access mail or not as unread messages, and my POP3 accounts download whenever I open Mail.
