Let me start by saying that I have successfully setup my client's email as a POP/fetch account, incoming and outgoing work for his godaddy hosted domain.
The problem is actually in using a solution that I devised for myself as a way around the "you want push email - you gotta start using your @me.com address"
This pisses me off.... I found a solution for myself.
1) Go into gmail preferences, forward copy of every email to @me.com account
2) Go into iphone, setup MobileMe account, go into advanced - add smtp.gmail.com server with gmail login as outgoing.
3) turn off MobileME smtp server, turn on 1 alternate (the newly created gmail outoing)
This works great, all my gmails come in push, and all my replies come from gmail.
Now enter one of my clients who has his domain and mail hosted by godaddy.
Step 1 of course worked fine, got his email forwarding to mobileme
Step 2 is where I have an issue, as soon as I put in the smtp.secureserver.net information, the iphone weirdly deletes its own primary smtp.mac.com account and puts secureserver.net in its place.
Because this server is now the primary (i did not tell it to do that) - it can not be modified so i can't turn off the SSL or change the port #.
So now i get stuck in this situation where i have an un-editable outgoing smtp server that i can't send mail thru using mobileme mailbox.
If my client's domain mail was hosted with google instead of dumb godaddy, i wouldn't have this problem.
Anyone else run into this ?
