If you called 082155 in the first instance, Vodacom Data support would have given the required IMAP4 settings.
These forums are not the Alpha and Omega of info.
Simply that Sir.
I hear you buddy, but not so easy as one would expect. I've phoned Vodacom hundreds of times in the last 24 months, for a wide variety of issues, from incorrect billing issues to upgrade problems and more. And every time I dealt with them, it was a horrible experience. Your call gets cut off when it is finally number one in the queue, then you phone again, then you have to verify your personal details once again, then you have to explain your problem over and over and over again...
Then the consultant can't help you, and have to put you through to a different apartment, where you have to verify your personal details AGAIN, then explain your story again...then they "log" the problem but don't give you a reference number, you ask them if they shouldn't...they say no, not necessary, you wait a few days and phone again, nobody knows about your issue, and the whole process start from scratch...
Should I continue? Maybe the call to the Data Support department would have worked out fine, but one never knows...given my recent dealings with them as described above should be enough to forgive me for asking the question here.
Also, it is not always possible to sit at work and make lengthy personal calls, much more convenient to quickly post a question on the forums - isn't it there to help each other out?
Good luck with that.
Most call centre agents would not have a clue what the heck you are talking about.
Exactly!!
That time was ten years ago, already.
In any case, don't know why I stuck it out with Vodamail for so long, blonde moment on my part, but I've luckily seen the light, and switched over to an iCloud email address. Works perfectly on my Apple devices, where most of my email activity is taking place any way.
