caseys Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 All down to which provider you have. NTL / Virgin = dire. Gmail = very good AOL = good for some reason. What mail account are you using? If you're using gmail you need to login to it and switch it to IMAP. Where you can use IMAP over POP3. There is a wizard on the iphone where you just put in your username and password for AOL and GMail and Yahoo iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseys Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 phone is orange same as home pc?? Is it an "[email protected]" email address?? Tap "Settings" Tap "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" Under Accounts tap "Add New" then "Other" Name = Your Name Address = Your Email Address Password = Your Email Address Password Descrion = Your Choice It wont be able to auto fill the settings and will bring you to the New Account page. make sure you select "POP" at the top Incoming Mail Server = pop.orange.net Username = your login information Password = [should already be filled with dots] Outgoing Mail Server = smtp.orange.net Username = [leave blank for now] Password = [leave blank for now] If you get an error regarding SSL, you should select YES to try again without SSL. It will now verify and you should be setup correct after this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
