Ok thing I got pop mail working.

Thing is, if Im using pop mail on the move, I wont be able to use my ntlworld smtp. I.e. I have to change the SMTP server to the O2 one (on the move via EDGE).

Surely theres an easier way around this?

How did you get ntlworld email working? I must have inputted everything about 20 times only for it to just sit there trying to confirm settings (or whatever it is doing)

Noob question... whats the difference between IMAP and POP email?
(is IMAP something to do with Microsoft Exchange?)

gumbald · 28 Apr 2008 at 16:10

IMAP stays on the server, whereas you have to download the e-mails from POP to read them or such. IMAP is far, far better and has much easier ways of viewing it via webmail and such. Get yourself a GMail account

I assume there's no way to get it to sync with hotmail? Despite it having no problem syncing to yahoo?

Also is there anyway to get it to sync with bookmarks from firefox rather than IE? Or will I have to import all my bookmarks into IE and then sync?

Hmm so it doesnt download anything off the server basically? I.e. you view it from the server and download any attachments when necessary? I.e. offline viewing?

Unfortunately I need my ntlworld account!

Nope. Hotmail is pants.

I use Foxmarks and presumed there'd be an equivalent, it seems not. Just clear your IE Favorites folder and import your Firefox ones. Allows you to clean them up too, I don't need most of my bookmarks on my phone so just keep a small set in IE.

I grumbled about it here: http://blog.gumbald.co.uk/2008/04/windows-firefox-to-iphone-bookmark-sync/

Quick question:

Once unlocked, the iPhone will work with Orange PAYG. Correct?

I'm sure it will, but it can't hurt to make sure.

Cavallino · 28 Apr 2008 at 19:52

So heres the problem...

If I setup my NTLWorld details with NTLWorld SMTP I can send emails via those settings.

However as soon as I jump onto the O2 EDGE/GPRS network, Im not able to send emails.

I.e. I have to use the O2 SMTP server... surely there is a way around this?

Yes - you need an email service with an SMTP server that supports authentication. ntlworld might, but I don't know. Most paid-for pop3/imap services come with one. You could pay for an smtp only service with someone if it doesn't, i suppose.
