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?

Can i set up two emails accounts on the mail function tab and switch between them

I would like to be able to set up two email accounts on the mail tab on the Iphone 5 and switch between them, is this possible?

Yes it is possible to set up multiple accounts but you cannot switch between them in the mail app. What you can do in settings/mail etc is have one set as active an dthe other as inactive and you can change that from time to time if you want

Having issue setting up email account on the iphone.

having issue setting up email account on the iphone. Going into settings mail, contacts, calendars...it goes back to the welcome screen. How do I delete all email accounts and set up from scratch?

I was having the exact same issue. It was driving me crazy. Just as a fluke, I tried logging in to my wife's account on the verizon.net website to se if I had a bad password or something. As soon as I logged in on my computer, her account verified & installed on her iphone. I have no idea why, but it worked.

Can I use a POP email account on an iPhone

I have a POP email account. I use it on my iMac. My Mail settings are to delete emails as soon as I've downloaded them.
Can I set up my email account on my iPhone? Can the two devices synch my email? i.e. if I send an email from my iMac will this email show up in my iPhone sent mailbox / if I delete an email from my phone will it also be deleted from my iMac / will emails sent to me go to both devices?
Remember this isn't an IMAP account with emails residing on a server, but a POP account that neither stores sent or received emails.
Thanks for any help

POP does not provide for synchronization between clients. Only IMAP or Exchange accounts do that. By default, POP will delete from the server as soon as it's downloaded, meaning that if your computer downloads it, it can not be downloaded to your phone and vice versa. It is possible to configure some POP mail clients not to delete messages from the server after downloading, but not all servers will honor this request.
POP is generally considered obsolete. Especially in the world of mobile devices and multiple computers.
If your email provider does not support IMAP, you may want to look for a new one.
You could conceivably use a free service that supports IMAP, like gmail, to gather in the mail from the mail service you're using now.

I cannot add a new pop email account in my "iphone 6"

I cannot add a new pop email account in my iphone, when i confirmed "saving account" it is automatically being closed and kick-out me from?
It is iPhone 6 and the system is iOS 8.1
I am going to select "Others" and then my user name, password and "next".
Then IMAP and POP settings screen is coming. I am going to select "POP" with my incoming and outgoing server details.
And finally I am going to proceed with "save".... So... pupff........ it is going, closing, kicking me out. Maybe 20-25 times since yesterday I try it but no win.
What should I do for these my friends. This is my business email... It was working before in iPhone 5s and afte iPhone 6 I make reset for 5s.
I try later on for 5s again. It make me the same thing also. They are not allowing me to add a new pop email address.

Is it your own domain?
Have you tried setting up as Exchange?

Just set up an email account on new iPhone. How do I stop it wanti g to download all 4,000 emails off my server and just download new emails?

Just set up an email account on new iPhone. How do I stop it wanti g to download all 4,000 emails off my server and just download new emails?

You can go into settings, mail, contacts and calendars, and set your mail to only download the last 50.
When you actually set upthe account, you can go into any available advanced settings and see if that can be set to new mail only. Unfortunately, every mail provider had slightly different things they'll allow you to tweak, so you just have to play to see what you can do.
For example, when I set up my Yahoo, I have different things I can tweak than I do on my Hotmail account, so some accounts allow more ability to tweak than others.

HT1694 I am having trouble setting up my hotmail account on my iphone 5s

I am having trouble setting up my hotmail account on my Iphone. I've tried many times and still saying UNABLE TO VERIFY YOUR ACCOUNT ? Any suggestions?

Just use the 'gmail' option when setting it up. There should be no reason to set up incoming/outgoing servers. Google is killing support for Google Sync (i.e. Gmail set up as an Exchange account) for non corporate customers.

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,
Nancy

Trouble adding a second email account to my iPhone 4

I am trying to add a second email account to my iPhone 4. I have gone into settings, mail/contacts/calendars, add account, etc. I have chosen "other" and then chosen "add mail account". I have entered my name, the second email address and a password. Is this password a new pass word for my new email account or is it the password needed to access the email server? Then I choose the POP over the the IMAP, because this new email is a POP account, I think. Now, am I required to add information for both the incoming mail server and the outgoing mail server? This is where I am lost.
I am trying to set this up with out going into the Apple store. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks. I have not gone to his web site. But, I do have the information the provided. He provided a POP Server address and a SMTP Server address. He also provided the public email address, username and password.
I think my issue is me not understanding IMAP vs POP and where to use the POP server vs the SMTP server information. Looks like I need to plan a trip to the Apple store.

Two email accounts on the iphone?

I currently have my iphone setup with my personal pop3 account.
1. I want to add my work exchange account to the iphone as well. Can someone tell me how that works? Will it dump all the mail into one mailbox and not distinguish which messages came from which account? How does it handle if i create a new message, which account it will send from?
2. Along the same lines, I am syncing to MS Outlook 2003 with my personal pop3 account and personal contacts. I intend to add my work exchange account and calendar. Will the iphone sync whatever is in my calendar regardless of where it came from (personal vs work)?
Thanks!

I have five accounts on mine.. but be aware that the phone does not support some accounts.. Mine are AOL one is yahoo. it does not support hotmail, it does support gmail but some company accounts are not accessible. <</div>
I think the issue actually is that Hotmail (and some others) do not include support of the POP or IMAP email protocol unless you pay for the "upgrade" to those (standard) features. It is just a way to siphon money with a "free" service. The device is perfectly capable of interfacing with all the providers I use.
I have 9 accounts from 5 providers...... all good so far.

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
