Problems connecting a SE P1i to an OS X IMAP server

Question

I just got a brand new Sony Ericsson P1i. I got it working no problem with .mac mail, however, I am having problems connecting via SSL with the server refusing to accept user name and password (that's the error message on the phone).
In the logs, I found the following entry:
"starttls: TLSv1 with cipher AES256-SHA (256/256 bits new) no authentication."
When going through the logs, I notice, that the typical SSL is using 128bits.
I am kind of stuck. Not surprisingly, the nice people at SE couldn't help so far.
Thanks

Answer 1

Here is how to configure .mac mail on your P1i:
1.) go to -> Main Menu -> Control Panel -> Messaging -> Email Accounts
2.) either select your previously set up .mac mail or go to More and choose New Account
3) Enter the following details under the Basic tab:
Account Name: "[email protected]"
Your Name: "Your Name"
Email address: "[email protected]"
Connection Type: IMAP
Click on Inbox tab
Incoming server address: "mail.mac.com"
Username: "yourdotmacusernamen"
Password: "..."
Receive using group: "Preferred Group" this is where you get your internet connection from
Outbox tab
Outgoing server address: "smtp.mac.com"
tick Use smtp authentication
tick Use Inbox login details
Click on More
click on Advance
Inbox tab
Secure connection: "SSL"
Incoming mail port: "993"
I hope this helps.
Let me know.
