..................before I launch my iPhone out of my window.

I am having problems sending any emails. I can receive them fine, but when I try to send the progress bar does not move for ages, and then eventually reads a message saying

" Could not connect to server smtp.o2.co.uk, go to settings to add another account"

Now, initially I was using my ISP settings for outgoing mail (Wanadoo). After that didn't work, I looked on the forums and found out that all mail regardless of ISP has to go through o2.

So, I added a new account, put my o2 email details in, disabled the primary account (Wanadoo) and everything was fine.

But as of last night, I am no longer able to send emails.

I've listed the outgoing settings I have in my phone, in the hope someone can spot a glaring mistake.

(under 'Other SMTP Servers'. The Primary Sever is 'off' as this has the details of my ISP smtp)

Server: On
Host Name: smtp.o2.co.uk
User Name: andrewsebastian@o2.co.uk
Password: ****
Use SSL: Off
Authentication: Password
Server Port: 25

Thanks very, very much in advance for any light which can be shed.

Cheers

Andy

Hi mate. I tried using the Wanadoo settings, but when I press send it immediately comes back with the message 'connection to smtp.wanadoo.co.uk failed'.

Any other suggestions???

Thanks for your reply mate. I'm going to sound like a dumbass here, but can you explain to me what difference that would make?

Thanks

did you set up the gmail on the iPhone or did you get the settings by syncing with outlook.

The reason i ask as is i had the same problem with the mail account imported from outlook. i just deleted it and set up the account on the iphone. works fine now ... c'mon the Hibees.

DONE IT!!!! Thanks for that mate.

I set up a Yahoo email account, and then created a new account on the iPhone. I then went into Windows Mail and changed the message rules to forward to the Yahoo account (like you said). Works like a dream

Still a bit miffed to why it wouldn't work before, but to be honest I don't care.

Thanks for all the replies
