Hi Gary,
Try the below instructions for both Eircom and O2.
Go to the settings and go to Mail, Contacts, Calendar. Then click Add
Account
1 Go to seetings.
2. Go to mail.
3. Go to add account
4. Go to other.
5. Add mail account.
Setting up eircom email on IPhone
If you have no mail account set up you can just touch the Mail app and the
screen below will appear. If you have previous mail addresses, you need to
go through Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Add account
Choose 'Other'.
Choose 'Add Mail Account' if options exist. Put in details for name,
address and password. Choose Save.
On the next screen on the IMAP tab (chosen by default) Incoming Mail Server,
enter webmail.eircom.net as the 'Host Name'. 'User Name' and 'Password' are
your mail account details.
On the Outgoing Mail Server enter smtp.o2.ie as the Host Name
'Verifying IMAP account information' will appear on the screen and may take
a few minutes before telling you that it can't connect using SSL. Choose
Yes to try without SSL.
At this stage you should be able to receive mail whether on wifi or 3G/Edge.
However you will only be able to send mail using the 3G/Edge connection. If
you're on wifi, you will need to add and turn on other SMTP servers. Go the
Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Your Email Address -> Outgoing Mail
Server (SMTP) -> Add Server.
I'm on BT so I added mail.iol.ie. If you are on Eircom broadband, I think
it's smtp.eircom.net but I haven't confirmed this. I think you leave each
of the SMTP servers on so that sending mail will work depending on what
connection you are on.
O2 email
On the iPhone go to Settings> Mail. Choose to Add a New account, enter the
user details, choose POP.
Then for the following enter:
Incoming Mail Server:
Host Name: pop3.o2.ie
Username: Your O2.ie email address
Password: Your O2.ie password
Outgoing Mail Server:
Hostname: smtp.o2.ie
Username: Can leave blank
Password: Can leave blank
It will then try and configure your account using SSL, it will fail and
after 30 seconds ask if you would like to configure without SSL. Choose Yes.
It will then give an authentication error. You can accept this but still
save the settings that you have entered. It will then give an error telling
you that the email probably won't work, accept this. Go back into Settings>
Mail. Choose the O2.ie email account, go to Advanced, turn Use SSL to OFF.
Go back and ensure the smtp server name (smtp.o2.ie) is in the smtp field.
If you then go back out to Mail on the home screen> under accounts (if you
have more then one) your email should then load.
A bit long winded but its suppose to work.
Paul.
