IPhone original with 2.02 pop and smtp settings

I have 6 different pop email accounts with several different hosts, generally I can get pop emails but to send them according to host settings has been a nightmare. Virtually none of them work with host recommended settings, as I use a wi fi it seems the outgoing ports are blocked or just don't work, changing ports with alternative ones recommended by the host don't work either, if I'm in a hotel with wi fi it's even worse. AT&T edge smtp doesn't work. Anybody have any suggestions?

This is a downside when an email account provider does not provide/support an authenticated SMTP server, and we can thank low-life spammers for this.
Most, if not all ISPs block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP being used for your internet connection) unless the SMTP server is authenticated.
I access a MobileMe account and a business POP account with the iPhone's Mail client. Both accounts have an authenticated SMTP server and I've never had any problems sending with either account regardless my internet connection - various wi-fi networks with different ISPs, or when connected via 3G or EDGE.

  • Setting mail with Cox (or other services with different servers for pop and smtp)

    My Cox mail account uses different servers for pop and smtp (my personal ISP 1&1 does too).
    The mail applet on my Blackberry Curve 8330 with Verizon does not allow to define different servers for pop and smtp, and further, for SSL smtp mail, the port is fixed at 995 and cannot be changed, while Cox (and 1&1) want to use 587 or something like that.
    As a result, I can only receive mail with these services.
    I also have yahoo mail, which works fine, so I can send mail with it and it is not a life-and-death situation, but I would like to be able to just reply to email sent to my Cox address.
    I called Verizon and they said BlackBerry provides the mail access through their servers and the applet, so there is nothing they can do.
    Is there a way to set it such that I can not only receive but also send mail through either of these services?
    Thanks in advance,
    Didier
    PS: Other than that, the Curve on Verizon rocks!!! so much better down here than AT&T it's not even funny.

    OK, thank you for the input.
    The problem I have with this solution is like the one I have now using yahoo.
    There are 2 problems:
    1) mailing lists want the mail to come from the account that is subscribed, so if the cox account is subscribed, I can't contribute from the blackberry, and if the blackberry account is subscribed, I don't get my mail in Outlook. Neither is good for me.
    2) people who send me mail to the Cox account and get replies from me from the blackberry continue responding to the account that can send from the blackberry (not Cox), and from that point on I do not have that mail on the computer.
    The issue of having two copies is no big deal, I just delete the mail I do not need. I would rather have two than none.
    Really, Blackberry should modify the email service so that they directly support mail systems like those of Cox and 1&1. I am sure there are others. They should also allow the use of another port for SSL than 995. I have not seen anyone using 995 for SSL.
    Until recently, I had a BB provided by my employer, and we had a BES, and that worked really well. I would like to emulate as much of that functionality as possible without having to pay somebody another $10 or $20 a month just for the priviledge of having an account on a private BES server.
    Anyway, thanks for the exchange and suggestions.

    Re: BigPond settings for POP, IMAP and SMTP
    I am have trouble with Apple: they claim that because I have not physically changed my email address they won't "accept" it! (it's same one that I have had for the past 5years),
    I am also unable to log on using the email address & password that I have for past 12 months!

    Your phone is carrier locked to a carrier other than the one you are trying to use.
    It was apparently hacked to unlock it prior to your attempt to update. Updating has re-locked it to the original carrier.
    Contact them and find out what their policy is.

  • I need to find my POP and SMTP addresses

    When I try to send e-mail to some businesses their system asks for a POP and SMTP designations. How can I find those numbers? I am pretty sure the first one is POP3 but I would like to verify it. I cannot send the message without those designations.

    You don't need a back up to unlock your iPhone. If you want to find the back up then the article below will show you where to find it if you did make one:

  • I have just updated my iPhone 4 with latest IOS 7 and now wi fi greyed out and Bluetooth not working. Tried reset, restore everything - no use. Its out of warranty too. I refuse to pay for a new phone when clearly this is an apple issue not phone issue.

    Can anyone help? I updated my iPhone 4 with latest iOS 7 and now wi fi is greyed out, Bluetooth won't work and tbh am so angry! Phone now out of warranty so apple won't help without it costing me. Don't want to pay as its an apple problem not phone problem. It worked ok before. Tried everything, even clearing it down. Can't even back it up now unless I connect to a pc!

    I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version.  I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again.  I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again.  My blue tooth doesn't work either.  I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this.  When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue.  My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!!  I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue.  Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it.  Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
    June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

    No not bothered about sycing apps etc it is all about calendars and maybe notes. IN terms of how its done I just want it the easiest way and preferably so that if an entry is made on one calendar then it populates the other.
    Thgius is beacuse I have my work diary on outlok, which I then link with my ical. I want to make sure that information is then shared with her.

  • I have an iPhone 5s with iOS 8.1 and iMovie no longer shows up as an option to export to through garageband. How do I fix that?

    I Dont know what changed or when it changed, but I created a song in garageband on my iPhone 5s with iOS 8.1 and I selected it to export it to iMovie and when I selected that iMovie wasn't an option. I'm not sure if it's a GarageBand issue or an iMovie issue or an iOS 8.1 issue. Can I change it in settings or do I have to wait for another update or what?

    Which screen exactly is missing, when you select a song in "My Songs" and press the "Share" button
    ? The "Open in ..." in the first screenshot?
    You may have to scroll the panel upward to see the second row with the
    After pressing "Open in", you will first see the dialog to set the parameters of the shared song, before the second screen will be presented.

    as i said i have two iphone 4S,,,,,

    but i want to connect the first 4S with carrier TATA DOCOMO GSM but its not working with the same USB feature????
    plz reply asap...!!!
    thnxxx in advance!!!

    If not this:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
    Also heating sometimes works. See:
    Why can't I select my wifi settings?
    A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Then:
    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? See other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router

    Do you mean Bluetooth?
    If you are trying to activate your iPhone you need to use iTunes.
    There's no need to "pair" an iPhone with a Mac. Syncing, restoring, backing up, apps/ music / photos etc., is all done with iTunes.

Plese give me the Proper suggetion about this issue..!!

    If your router is not identified in a national database (don't recall who maintains it or where it is) then there is no location associated with it.  Hence your device cannot be located.  I suggest you try your test at some public wifi spot, like a bookstore or coffee shop.  These places usually have a location associated with their wifi router.
