Nokia E5 Email reader with wlan problems

Hi:
I have bought yesterday an Nokia E5 and when i try to read email, (is a private email from my domain, all is configured correct) but the problem is that wlan that i'm using is open but after that to have internet you need to enter a username and a password on a captive portal, and i'm not asked to enter this information on email reader so is not possible to connect to internet.

 

This dont happend on browser, where i'm asked and i have surfed net perfect.

 

What can i do to solve this problem on email reader?

 

Thanks.

I suppose the only way would be to first start a web session (logging in manually), and, leaving the browser open, check your e-mails.

 

Of course this will not work with push or periodic polling, only with manual polling.

Then I guess that's your only option.

 

This kind of "login pages" using the web may be convenient for a one-off web browsing session in a hotel or so, but if you want to use a WLAN regularly, you need a "real" one, i.e. one that supports standard authentication systems.

 

I would never expect Nokia (or any other brand) to support such kind of **bleep** authentication systems, as they are not standardized.
