I am using the CM7 nightly build full 221 on my HTC Desire and I can connect to all my email accounts fine on WiFi, but on my data package I cannot connect to a single one. It will load the account for a while, I would say about a full minute then present me with the error "Unable to open connection to server". The internet browser works fine both through WiFi and data it is only my email through a data connection that seems to have the problem.

Has anyone encountered this problem? If so what is the solution? I really don't want to be without my emails, otherwise I will have to revert back to the stable mod, but then have to deal with the 2-3 second call delay issue.

Seems like it's one problem or another.

Solved my own question. For those who have had this problem this solution works for Fido users, or you may have the same problem with your own carrier.
Menu>Settings>Wireless & networks>Mobile networks>Access point names. Then once in there you may see 3 options, I had Fido Default, Fido Internet and Fido Tethering. Not sure why but it was set to tethering, so I switched it to Fido Internet and everything is working now.

CM is a great mod but I am a little turned off with all the tweaks it needs to get working right. I guess that's the price to pay for more options and customization.
