Where’s the peanut butter?!

hooray! I finally got mail working on my phone again! since switching off tmobile’s $20 internet plan (which was always too expensive but which I had to sign up for to get a discount on my last phone) to their $6 unlimited gprs plan (which I *highly* recommend since i’m still getting edge speeds on it) my mail has been on the fritz. the problem turned out to be that in a burried settings dialog I had it set up to use a connection profile which I have not set up at all. this was frustrating because as far as I could tell my mail settings were right and my connection settings were right, but I could find no way to specify the link indicating which connection settings my mail profile should use. taking a cue from its big brother, the default settings for a new account in pocket outlook are “use the settings which the user has never configured and are sure to not work.” erg. more good news: I learned that my mailserver supports imap! this effectively solves my “how should I access my mail remotely?” problem. yay!
