Telkom email account on iPhone4S

[Cassady]

Hello all,

Managed to set up my Telkom email on my Ipad - but cannot get it right on my iPhone4S...

I used exactly the same settings, but upon verification - the iPhone gives me the following message:

"The IMAP server 'pop3.telkomsa.net' is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the 'incoming mail server' field".

Any suggestions?

Turn off ssl?

Turn off ssl?

Kind of does that automatically, I think? It asks if I want to try and setup the account without SSL - if you say "no", it cancels the pocedure - "yes" takes it through to verification...

You should use POP not IMAP I think. Two different ports and I'm not surprised that the server isn't responding

Ja - realised I had made the error the last time I tried the setup - have been using POP3 all the other times... tried again last night - same message (just with POP instead of IMAP)... So, go figure: Ipad's email working fine - Iphone email set-up - no joy.

Tried again last night - nothing.
And then this morning - it went through!

So finally hooked up on iPhone - beats me where the issue was!

P.I.C.N.I.C? Probably...

For future... this helped me...
