I cannot use my the emailclientprogram, even though I have GPRS! The problem is, that I don't know how to use it, or what emailaccount I should have? Furthermore I don't know the emailgateway, and all the other necessary and related stuff.
I really hope someone can help me out there!?

In order to use your email client, you must have an INTERNET APN provided by your service provider. Check with them. Just in case you do not know what this is, it is the settings that are specific to the email client of your phone.
For example, I use Globe Telecom here in the Philippines. To use GPRS, we have data account myGlobe GPRS data account. For Multimedia Messaging, we have myGlobe MMS data account. For our email client, we have myGlobe INTERNET data account.
Use the search function in the forum to get more detailed instructions but check with your service provider first.

CavFlo rather sounds like he/she doesn't know the details to his/her E-Mail account. What you need is
a) Connection (see previous answers, you need an internet connection via GPRS, not a WAP connection)
b) Protocol: Depends on your E-Mail account. See the settings in (probably) Outlook Express. Is it a POP3 or an IMAP account?
c) Incoming Server: Often called pop.PROVIDERNAME.com or similar. This is the mail server where you _get_ your E-Mail.
d) Port: Don't change anything here.
e) Mailbox: That's your username for the E-Mail account.
f) Password: The password of your E-Mail account.
g) Sending Server: SMTP of your internet connection (provider-dependent).
h) Port: Again don't change it.
i) E-Mail Address: Just enter your normal E-Mail address here.
This should get you started. If you have a webmail-only E-Mail account, you can't get your mail via the T610, though. It's only good for 'real' POP and IMAP accounts.

however you can get web based emails to email programs such as outlook.
and you can get them to your t610, if set up correctly, but you need the sim to be-able to let you retrive them on you t610
so phone up your network and ask them about it, they will also set it up for you incase you have not done so already
