i-phone smtp problems
edited to say I've resolved this now. I had to set up the user name and password on the outgoing server as well as the incoming one. Only took 3.5 hrs to work that out!!
Hi all,
I've just moved onto an i-phone 4s. I run two email accounts, one googlemail for personal stuff and one via my business domain which is hosted at fasthosts.
Set up the gmail no problems ( because it uses exchange and activesync)
I have tried everything to get the fasthosts account working via imap (it is an advanced mailbox, not exchange, but absolutely should work with IMAP, I've had it on blackberry for years). I have got to the stage where I can receive mail but I can't send it.
The settings I'm using are:
Incoming
mail.livemail.co.uk
port 143
authentication user name and password
Outgoing
smtp.livemail.co.uk
port 25 although I've also tried 225 and 587
no authentication
No ssl in both cases.
The outgoing server verifies instantly on either port 25 or 587 but when I send messages they get dumped in the outbox with an error saying the server rejected the recipient
I'm just upgrading to IOS 6.
Any help would be appreciated, it shouldn't be this hard to get an IMAP mailbx set uop
Thanks, all.
Edited to say I've sone a search of this thread but couldn't find anything related.
