O2 EMail

[tombarnes]

I have just bought my iphone, and it is fantastic. I have now got an o2 email address. I would like to access this on both my iphone and my mac. What are the details i.e. pop server and smtp server etc. for use with apple mail?

Cheers,

Tom

Anyone got any ideas!?

Settings for Outlook pulled from the O2 site, will work the same for the iPhone I would think:

In Outlook Express, choose 'Tools' on the menu bar, and then select the 'Accounts' entry. The Internet Accounts window should open. Select 'Add', then 'Mail' from the drop-down menu. A new mail wizard will guide you through creating your account.
2. Type in your name in the 'Display name' field and click 'Next'.
3. Click the 'I already have an email address that I would like to use' radio button and enter your email address (username@o2.co.uk) in the 'Email address' field, then click 'Next'.
4. Ensure that 'POP3' is selected in the incoming mail server drop-down list. Enter mail.o2.co.uk in the Incoming mail server field and mail.o2.co.uk in the Outgoing mail server field.
5. Enter your username in the 'Account name' field (username@o2.co.uk). Add your password in the 'Password' field, and click the 'Remember password' check box if required. Click on 'Next'.
6. Click on 'Finish' to complete your mail account creation.
7. Click on 'OK', and close the Internet Accounts window.

I have managed to set it up to receive emails, but not send them yet Surely O2 email and apple's mail and apple's iphone mail are compatible!!! It would be ridiculous if they arent!

basically if you need to set up an email account different from the default ones, you need to use:

pop.example.com
blabla@example.com
password

and

smtp.o2.o.uk
nothing
nothing


that's it !
