i have a small problem, i can't get my ntlworld email account on to it, any help will be glady received

CREWJ

I'd probably get onto the apple forums to see if anyone else has had this problem.

I'm using hotmail and I've not had any issues.

I did this about 2 years ago, so abit rusty but anyhow.

when you select> add account > other > add mail account and input your details after that you need to make sure the email setting are set up as

Incoming Mail Server = pop.ntlworld.com

Outgoing Mail Server = smtp.ntlworld.com

I don't think SSL connections works from memory had to do it as unsecure but the email settings are the important part to make it work.

Take this opportunity to get rid of your NTL account. Move to Gmail and forward your NTL mails.

i did all that but it keeps saying verifying? i'll see if i can work out how to forward my emails thanks guys, btw any recommendations for apps?

Markus

Are you with O2? If so, this might help (taken from this thread)

POP Information

Name: Your Name (obviously)

Address: Your Email Address(again obviously)

Description: Your Choice here I have my email address again



Incoming Mail Server

Host Name: pop.ntlworld.com

User Name: Your User Name(your NTL username IE the first part of your email before the @ntl....... bit

Password: Your Password(again NTL password)




Outgoing Mail Server(this was the bit I was having trouble with)

Host Name: smpt.02.co.uk

User Name: your O2 username@smpt.02.co.uk(so if your username was jim66 you would enter jim66@02.co.uk)

Password: Your O2 password

Use SSL: Off

Authentication: Password

Server Port: 25



It might also be worth having a read of this as well.

Yep this is the answer

Typical Apple attitude, change everything else to make it work with Apples products, how silly to expect the phone to integrate with what you already have

JackClark

Apple or no Apple I'd recommend moving from an ISP based email address. If you don't understand why then please ask some questions you might learn something.

Dr.No

I'm with Jack, and have been telling people daft enough to actually use ISP email addresses to move to something else for years.... though not many do!

gone with gmail no problem for me;-}

CREWJ

I agree you should move away from an ISP email. I used to have a bt email but when I changed companies I lost the e-mail address. That's a total pain in the butt when you have to change every log in you've ever created >.<

Jamescsti

I have 2 none isp email addresses which I use, I don't use my isp email for reasons stated above but my point is if the op wants to use it he should be able to

bigsinky

just to let you know, NTL accounts are now via VirginMedia and are now SSL only AFAIK. port 995 for pop and 465 for SMTP

Scooby Soon!

I can not think of a reason to use a ISP email account

please tell me why you would use one

OK i will ask, why move away from ISP email addresses ?

hodgy0_2

can you "pop" a gmail account?

Markus

You mean access it via any mail client that allows you to connect to a pop server? If so then yes you can. I have my iMac configured to read my gmail account, plus I have set outlook and outlook express to access a gmail account as well

JackClark

You're very likely to change ISP before you want to change email address.

bigsinky

I still use my old ntlworld account as my main email address as it's the one I was given 10 years ago. Never had a bother with it. Email is pushed to both my blackberry and my HTC no problem. I can send and receive email from both phones

JackClark

What's your exit strategy? It would be a shame to lose access to 10 years of email.

hodgy0_2

I lost over 10 years -- with a .fsnet.co.uk account (used to be freeserve, then orange) just recently

unless you logged on via dialup once in 90 days - they suspend it, then 90 days later they permentantly delete the account unless you re-activated it

when I was told -- I was shocked for about 3 secounds - but sense prevailed and it was quite a cathartic experiance actually.

I have a gmail account now (and thks Markus - noted)
