What exactly goes wrong? Tell us where you get stuck. The more information the better.

 

I don't have Vodafone mail so I don't know any more than I've read. I cant guarantee this is accurate.

 

It appears that you need to enter the basic settings, let it try  to setup the account automatically, then enter the more advanced information. After that it should all work.

Here's some info I've grabbed of the Vodafone site, it's not easy to find thats for sure.

Incoming server – pop.vodafone.co.nz

Outgoing server – smtp.vodafone.co.nz

Username – username@vodafone.co.nz

SSL – Off

 

It appears that you can use smtp2.vodafone.co.nz, with no username or password, but it won't work over WIFI. There is also the suggestion that you may need to use port 25 (not sure on that one).

 

Hopefully one of our friendly members here can be more specific than me.

 

Worst case, you could always phone Vodafone…

This is what I've done as it is for webmail.

 

This is how I'm setting it up

IMAP Account information
Name: Richard Jones
Address: ******@vodafone.co.nz
Description: Vodafone email

Incoming Mail Server
Host name: pop3.vodafone.net.nz
User Name:(my vodafone sign in name)
Password:(my vodafone sign in password)

Outgoing Mail Server
SMTP: smtp2.vodafone.net.nz

Can you tell me what I am doing wrong as when it verify's it comes up with an error message saying this:
The IMAP Server
pop3.vodafone.net.nz is not responding check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the "incoming mail server" field

Please please please help it is driving me insane!!!

The immediate issue I see, you're trying to setup imap using a pop3 server, that won't work.

Change the incoming mail server to imap.vodafone.co.nz

 

See this forum thread for more info. http://forum.vodafone.co.nz/to…..ng-iphone/
