We need some more information here, but first I would suggest that you change the thread title to be more specific like "Cant send emails via oneandone in UK". That way you get less unhelpful stuff on this thread.

so more info

-what contract do you have with Vfone?
-How are you setting up your email on the N900 (as you keep refering to wap etc, this makes me concerned that you are not using the wizard correctly)?
- Does surfing using wifi work (you need to get email working with wifi first before you mess with vfone)?
-what kind of account do you have with 1and1. They offer both exchange hosted and standard webmail with pop and imap.?
-what email client are you using on your laptop?
-what are the server settings on your laptop (maybe some authentication/security issues as this is your work email)

And here is how I have setup mine using Imap4

-Create new account->wizard comes up->tap next
-do NOT select service provider leave as "other"
-create account name like "one and one" ->next

this next bit is important as oneandone use email as user name

user name=mike@your domain.co.uk
password=your password
email-address=same as user name
->Next

-change account type to imap4
incoming server= imap.1and1.co.uk
secure authentication=unchecked
secure connection =none
->Next

outgoing server =auth.smtp.1and1.co.uk
secure authentication =unchecked
secure connection=none
use connection specific SMTP servers =unchecked
->Next

->advanced settings
port (above outgoing sever) =143
port (above use connection specific SMTP servers) =25
->save
finish

It should now be able to find the imap server.

now you need to set up you email behaviout
go to the email screen that shows your email accounts
->press top window bar that says "email"
->settings
default account=choose your pref
new message format=choose your pref
updating autmatically=checked
update when connected=any connection
update interval=choose your pref


Good luck, and if you have no joy provide above info and we can see if we can trouble shoot some more.Otherwise its over to your IT department.
