Hey everyone. Just picked up an IPHONE over the weekend and I'm loving this thing.
So last night I synced the phone to my laptop email through ITUNES. About 1200 emails were imported. I had read that you need to manually delete each email at a time so I spent about 2-3 hours going through the old emails and deleting them.
Everything seemed fine until this morning. I can send email no problem but I cannot receive email (other than the emails that were imported when I synced)?? I have my account setup in a way that all emails stay on the server so it should download to both my laptop and iphone - correct?? Even when I send an email from my phone to my phone/laptop the email shows up on the laptop but the email doesn't come in on the phone??
Anyone have any suggestions?? I'm using a POP account.
Laptop is probably set to delete messages from the server.
Set your iphone to never delete messages, then set your laptop to a week or so.
That will give your iphone a chance to pick it up.
I use autocheck manual on my iphone. My check for e-mail on my computer is set to manual. My delete messages are set to never both on my laptop and my computer. I left it all on manual both on my mac's and on my iPhone.
Is there anyone on this forum that has an IPHONE, is using bell sympatico and has a POP account?? Like I said above, I can send email from the phone but I cannot receive it. It's driving me crazy.
Can someone confirm the settings I'm using??
From IPHONE:
Name: my name
Address: my email address
Description: whatever you want to put in
Incoming Mail Server
Host name: pophm.sympatico.ca
Username: my email address
Password: my password (I assume if I put the incorrect password when I try to receive/send email it will state incorrect password/username - correct??
Outgoing Mail Server
Host Name: smtphm.sympatico.ca
Username: my email address
Password: my password (I assume if I put the incorrect password when I try to receive/send email it will state incorrect password/username - correct??
Advanced - Settings
Deleted Messages
Remove - after one week
Incoming Uses SSL - ON
Outgoing Uses SSL - ON
Authentication - Password
Delete from Server- Never
I ended up completely deleting th account off my phone and rather than syncing the new account I just input the POP settings manually. Now I can send and receive email no problem.
i'm having same problem with iphone no incoming mail
You didn't detail how you set up manually for your incoming mail. I just got my iphone and i found how to get outgoing mail from pop but still no incoming. i set my server port to incoming server as on my mac mail but not working. help?
