Playbook Bridge, Z30 & Native IMAP/POP over Bridge
I was using my playbook up until recently with an older Nokia phone, and used tethering to access native mail.
I went to a new Z30, and have been a bit stumped by the bridge behaviour. (Tethering is not supported as a Bluetooth profile in Z30's, and I don't want to have to turn on a wifi hotspot unless really needed.)
Yes, I have defined my email accounts directly on the Z30, but sometimes would like to use the Playbook's email client instead.
Trouble is, this gives me an error about the email server when I try to sync to the IMAP server over bridge. Ie 'The mail server for blah blah is not responding. The server name in your account settings might be incorrect, or the server temporarily offline.'
Question - what is really happening over the bridge? Is it not a transparent internet connection? It looks like it might be providing a limited HTTP proxy only, not giving full ability to access POP/IMAP.
