Hi Joe;
In addition to Gerhard's good advice.... Here's some other types
of common problems....
one problem I find is that
the email you think is the keitai mail address is not always the real address.
To check send an email from the phone to your computer. That will always
give you the right address. (That's the best way to find out).
One of the reasons for this (and there are afew) is that the mail addresses
used to be always like 0904432324324@CARRIER but now you are
usually forced to choose a name where the phone number is to make
it harder for beginning spammers to spam you.
(the number 0904432324324 is not a real phone number... Its just me hitting
my keyboard randomly with some extra digits)
A second reason for the email confusion is that not all the types of
"email" on the phone use the internet. Some of them are types and
variants of SMS-like-beasties that only go from handset to handset.
(But these ?usually? use just phone numbers and not email addresses)
A third thing that the receiver needs to know (not the sender)
is that to get mail on your phone... the user must sometimes actually query the server...
and most phones have multiple types of mail clients on them so they
have to query the right server.... but this problem is rarer than just
having the incorrect email address. (Especially since most "new" phones flash
an icon whenever the server had an email if it has not been downloaded yet).
This third part varies drastically from phone to phone. On some phones it is
more of a problem and on others its less of a problem.
