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.

Yes is what i'm doing but dont work all time, because dont remember username and password that is asked by wifi system.

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.
