Trouble setting up POP email account

I am trying to set up my POP email account on my iPhone and it is not recognizing the outgoing SMTP server. I have the settings correct. My mail server is mail.adelphia.net for both incoming and outgoing mail. Any suggestions?

update: decided just to change my password with the server when I realized that it was user error- the wrong password was in fact being typed in blush. So now I don't get the any errors. I guess it works, no email on the phone yet, but the computer is on with outlook running, and I do believe it takes the mail off the server when it downloads it- so I don't think there's mail there for the iPhone to see.
Now, do you think you could help me with another iPhone question I have? It's really simple. It deals with when I activated yesterday- I got booted out of the activation sequence due to an incoming call from some random person looking for the owner of the old number i'd JUST been assigned and had JUST gone active (I have a post on the board about it) and I didn't get to do anything that comes up on the iTunes screen after it gives you your phone number. Therefore, I didn't get to name my iPhone or sync with outlook. My two questions are these:
Can I still name the iPhone, or do I have to somehow reset it? And if I have to reset it- do I loose all the contacts I entered (they're not in outlook, they were in my other phone) or can I somehow sync to iTunes and have the contacts saved before restoring?
Next, the iPhone doesn't sync to Outlook (i have 2003 on Vista) at all. Because I was booted out of activation, I had to try a manual sync. I can get emails because that was just fixed, but it doesn't give me my contacts or calendar. The syncs for bookmarks off IE worked. I haven't tried a sync to transfer music and videos yet. Is there something I'm not doing right as to why it won't give me Outlook? I notice that there is only one Apple add-in running in outlook, and someone said something about needing two? Plus, Vista gives me an error that the Outlook sync server has quit every time I try to sync.
Can you help with any of that?

Just set up POP email account - only seeing inbox folder

Hi
I have just set up a POP email account and it has found it successfully and downloaded all my inbox messages however I cannot see my "sent" messages or drafts and I also have a sub folder underneath the inbox which I cannot see.
Do I have to manually set up each subfolder or does the Iphone not automatically see the same subfolders when it connects? Also every email stays showing as un-read even if it is read on the server, even when I refresh the Iphone it still says un-read. Do POP accounts not automatically sync with the server or is there something I can do to set this up or an APP that will do this? Please can anyone help?
Thank you for any help or information.

With POP email accounts, the mail 'lives' with the client, not on the server. So, Sent and Drafts on the iPhone will only contain messages sent from or being composed on the iPhone. Any subfolders set up in the mail client on your computer are only on that computer. You can pull messages from the server to the Inbox on the phone if the mail client is set to leave the messages on the server for a period of time, since from the iPhone's perspective they are new.
POP is really designed for accessing your email only from one client. If you want to use several devices and access the same account, you are better off with an IMAP account, where all the mail 'lives' on the server.

I am having trouble setting up my email account on my 4S.

I am trying to set up my email account, but am failing. I have a "pop account" for my incoming mail server. Does it make any difference that I am putting my "pop account" information into the "IMAP" account fields? Thanks.

Yes that is likely the problem .If you want a pop account has to be set us such in the pop area

Having trouble setting up my email account

Hi - and Help!
I just upgraded my BC account and forwarded my domain from the registrar (in my case: Network Solutions). So, now I'm in the process of setting up my email account in BC so that everything works and I'm getting this message:
Error
Account details for this user can only be updated via the site where it was first created.
I don't understand this. Don't I need to set up my email with the hosting company (which is now BC)?
Thanks for your help,

Don't assume your experience is the rule.
I have been using Yahoo two-factor authentication on Z10 and on Passport with no issue. Now Z10 being used by wife with her Yahoo email and with two-factor authentication, and again no trouble.
To add, I would not advise going backward to a less secure method. Simple username and password authentication is not advisable nowadays

IPhone - having trouble setting up bellsouth email account

My sister just bought the new iPhone 3gs and we can't seem to set up her e-mail account on it. I have the "old" iPhone 3g and have the same email settings as she does (bellsouth.net) and was able to set it up prior to upgrading to the new 3.0 software. I am not sure if that would be an issue. We have followed the directions (fill in her name, e-mail address, password, press save and then it stays on that screen forever) and nothing happens.
Has this happened to anyone else? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Lina

iTunes will have a radio button or something like it on the PC version. Look under the Info tab with the phone selected in iTunes. Go to the mail accounts and select the account. If that doesn't work, log onto Bell South and look up email settings. I use a Mac too. There is a note, FYI, that states to add accounts, do it on the iPhone...... I'm hoping the account is already there for you. Good luck.

Outlook is an e-mail client that runs on PCs and Macs. It is NOT an account type.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
