How delete 'Other SMTP Servers' from email account?

In trying to figure out how to SEND email using my iPhone 3G I changed some port settings, according to Comcast. In the end doing this added a bunch of 'Other SMTP Servers.' I've deleted one of my email accounts and re-set it up, to no avail. The INCOMING port number keeps setting up its own number and I cannot change it to 110, as it should be, so I cannot receive email on theis account. Everytime I change it to 110 it automatically changes itself back to other numbers (587, 99?) when I exit and try to retrieve email. I've synced my iPhone with my pc...didn't work.
So, I need to know how to change my INCOMING port setting to 110 and keep it that way, delete multiple 'Other SMTP Servers' listed within any of my email accounts, and also how do I SEND email while outside the home (I can send email fine when I'm home using my wireless router)?

Same problem. Every time I add a new account its smtp server details are added to the list of available servers, even if exactly the same details already exist in the list. I now have three identical smtp servers listed.
Discovered this when having smtp connection refused problems after adding three different email domain addresses that I use with the same service provider - the first one is ok, the other two always fail smtp connection. The smtp details for all accounts are exactly the same, which works perfectly well when using Mail on my MacPro machine, but not it appears on my iPhone.
I can delete the troublesome accounts on my iPhone (have not yet figured out why all three work fine together on my MacPro machine but not on the iPhone) but, there does not seem to be a way of deleting duplicated or unwanted smtp information from the iPhone. Regarding ports, I use port 25 for sending on all 3 accounts, but I did notice that the iPhone setup automatically chose 587, which although legit does not appear to work.
Any suggestions?

  • Deleting old SMTP servers from the iphone

    Dear Friends,
    I have 3GS. While I was creating my e-mail accounts on the phone I made mistakes
    and after creating these accounts, I deleted. Now I have a new account which works well. But on the "other SMTP servers" there are old servers still exist with the same account name. How should I delete them? Thanks in advanced.

    Maybe everyone has this figured out by now, but seems to be a recurring question.
    In Settings/Mail/(account)/Account Info/Outgoing Mail Server, select the one you don't want and click the big red "Delete Server" button at the bottom of the screen. Seemples:-)

  • How to send photo IM from email account not iCloud account

    My iPhone 5 and Ipad2  are sending photo IM's from my iCloud account.  I want to change to be sent from my Personal email account.

    IM is imessage and uses your apple id for imessage to send something. If you personal email account is not apple id, you can only use it for email and not imessage. If it is you need to sign in with it into settings -messages.

    either use the pop protocol to get your mails, or move mail into a "local Folder" from your mail account and it will delete on the server as well as from the account in Thunderbird.

  • How do you delete outgoing (SMTP) servers???

    Due to the fact many SMTP servers require you to be on their network to login, I have at varioius times set up 3 different SMTP servers in the mail app setup. The mail app never forgets them once you set them up. It even remembers multiple copies of the same SMTP server where I just tried different settings/passwords. The mail app adds all these SMTP accounts (I now have 7 including "other SMTP servers") when I only set up one after deleting the account and starting over. Worse yet, these 7 represent only 3 unique servers and when it's trying to test the outgoing (SMTP) server at setup, it takes forever while it tests all 7 apparently.
    Deleting mail account doesn't get rid of these SMPT servers. Resetting iPhone doesn't work because it restores them from from backup in iTunes. There should be some way to get mail app to forget every server/name/password combination you have ever entered when trying to get connected to an outgoing server.
    Lest anyone think this is unecessary, keep in mind you can't send from home via cmwx server if you get bad cell coverage. You can't send away from home if you are off your home network, and you can't send from a hotel room with wi-fi access if you have no cell coverage. I fianlly set up a mail account that can be connected to from anywhere, but now I can't get rid of all the rest!

    Seems that the only way to clear them out would be to perform a Restore in iTunes and set up as a new phone (not from backup). Note that this is also the only way to clear out the email address autofill list (and that one affects a lot more people than the SMTP server list, I'm sure).

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately you can't delete accounts, you also can't change or remove iCloud addresses.

  • What are iCloud email other SMTP servers?

    I went to Settings<Mail, Contacts<iCloud account<Account<Mail<SMTP. What do "other SMTP" servers do. One of those is a gmail server. What does it mean?

    I've had a similar lack of success on my iPhone 3G. There are three ways in which this has failed:
    • I've carefully copied the SMTP settings from a working Mail.app account, but the iPhone 3G consistently tells me that the account cannot be verified, which prevents it from being added to my list of SMTP servers.
    • I've also tried syncing mail accounts using iTunes, which just causes iTunes to hang.
    • Lastly, I set my personal email address (personal web domain) to use the SMTP server for a gmail account. This will send the email, but it appears to the recipient as coming from the gmail address, NOT from the personal address.
    In all three cases, iPhone's SMTP behavior has proved to be completely unacceptable. I may be returning my iPhone in the near future.

    how do I set up my email account on my iMac OS Yosemite 10.10.2 so that the emails are downloaded to my computer and removed from the ISP server?

    When setting up the email using Apple 'Mail' (version 8.2 (2070.6)) I do not get an option to set up my email as using POP.  I can go to Outlook from Microsoft and I get a chance to set my mail up using POP, however I would prefer to use the Apple supplied 'Mail' email programme as I'm using Office 365 and may not want to continue the subscription sometime in the future.
    Any advice on setting Mail to POP would be appreciated.  A not so Happy Wombat.
