But I wanted to save people the trouble of going through what I went through if you are an account holder. I know very few people will have a email account. Most email software is designed to use SMTP for communication purposes when sending email that only works for outgoing messages. Its a set of communication guidelines that allow software to transmit email over the Internet. 'SMTP' stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. So, rather than putting for the outgoing server as they instructed, put ''Ĩ) again, enter all of your user name, not just the prefix for the password field SMTP settings are simply your Outgoing Mail Server settings. So enter, for example, not just 'justin' as they told meħ) enter the exact same settings as you did for the incoming here.
I spent over 4 hours with (very helpful) email folks as well as tier 1 and 2 Apple support trying to figure out this simple issue.Ĭontrary to the differing instructions from all parties, here's what you need to do:ġ) Select POP (not IMAP as one lady told me) when setting up your mail account on the iPhoneģ) Enter your description in that field as wellĤ) For Host Name, enter '', not ĥ) Your User Name is your full email address, not just the prefix before the symbol as they told me. Just wanted to post some relevant info for anyone trying to access their email account via iPhone's POP3 mail application.
