I have an 8707g from Optus in Australia. Currently travelling in London and having problems recieveing my email from my BES server back home.

I have international roaming setup and receiving calls OK but delivery of email is sporadic at best. I find that if I reset my device it then goes looking for email rather than it being delivered automatically as is usually the case.

Am I missing something?

You may want to remove the battery and wait for about 30 seconds then reinstall it. And also sending a service book. Hope this will work for you.
