Argh.... found now by pressing the 0 key three times --- and I thought I'd
looked every-blinkin'-where !

You are It's either on the "1" key or right hand function key -
"More", under "Add symbol".

It could be on other phones or other menus or even other firmwares - but not
in that menu on the t610 it isn't - the only menu choices for the left and
right keys are "ok" or "123 / abc".

But I found it on the 0 key after pressing it three times, anyway.

I suspect that is because it was the mailbox option I was trying to fill in
rather than the email address - but as I said in a later post, I found it on
the 0 key. Annoyingly, as I understand it, you only usually need the
beginning part of your email address / username for the mailbox name - the
bit before the @. So most people wouldn't come across this issue, you see ?
But in order for it to work I needed the whole thing so I needed the @.

Not in that bit it ain't. It was on the 0 ! Weirdness abounds.

I wonder if it's a firmware related bug ? I think I'm going to be off to the
SE service centre next week to get the firmware updated anyway.
