I’m having the same problem with O2. Could at one stage only send using 3G but recently cannot send anything at all using 3G or WiFi.

Hi Donal,
I’ve tried you instruction above (plus Anna on December 11, 2011 at 1:48 am info) and just cannot get my iPhone 4 to send Eircom.net mail.
Can send and receive gmail & yahoo mails on network/3G/WiFi no problem.
My specs are:
@eircom.net e-mail address
on the Vodafone network for my mobile
on the Vodafone network for home broadband/wifi
mostly check mail on the phone when on various other Wifi’s scattered around the place.
Any pointers greatly appricated (as the Eircom & Vadafone site were a waste of time)
Cheers,
Ian.

Hi Donal
Thanks so much for this. I still cant manage it though. When i put the smtp o2 server in the outgoing box do i put in my username and password again? After i click go ahead without SSL i get an error message after a few mins saying cannot send mail, the username or password for’ smtp,o2.ie’ is incorrect. Have u any idea why this is or can i fix it?? Thanks! Cait

Followed above instructions using wifi and had no problems with incoming mail. Turned off wifi and set outgoing server as: mail1.eircom.net turned wifi back on – outgoing mail working fine now.

Having great difficulty despite doing all above.
1) sending email from wifi at home can take hours
2) can check email on 3G but can’t send.
All stmp settings are on, should I turn them manually off/on when changing between 3G and wifi?

Any advise before I throw iPhone out window?!

Just a couple of points.

there are two “types” or ways of dealing with email – one is referred to as pop 3 and the other as imap.

pop3 was grand in simpler times when you had a pc and you downloaded your mail to to your inbox and it did not remain on the isps server. Gradually people wanted to access their mail from more than one device and thats where imap comes in – this effectively leaves your mail on the server and you access it from your various devices.

However you have to be precise in your settings. For example you have to turn on imap in your gmail settings and older eircom accounts need to be adapted to imap by requesting it from Eircom.

Also to ensure that all mails end up in your sent mail no matter what device you use you need to be using imap.

Also remember that usually your can access incoming mail relatively easily no matter which isp you are with however to send mail you usually have to use the smtp (outgoing server) of whichever isp you are using at the time.

So say you have a home connection with Eircom then you would be using Eircoms smtp on the pc or laptop but a mobile with say O2 then you will need to have o2′s smtp for sending via the mobile.
