Hey all,

I have searched for this, and realise there have been threads on this topic before, but not since iOS5 has been released :( I've also googled it but so many conflicting results and none that seem to work for me :(

Basically, had my NTLWorld email on my phone since the original iPhone, and have always restored from a backup so never had to worry about setting it up again, however recently I decided to start from new, which means having to set it up again

Now I'm selecting 'Other' and putting in my e-mail in (wrong by the way, so that it allows me to go into advanced settings), then I used 'pop3.ntlworld.com' for the pop server, and my username in the following format xxxx.xxxx in the username field, although some say to use the full email address. But no matter what I try, it just sits on verifying for ever and never registers

Please help guys :(
 
I added my account yesterday and used.....

pop.ntlworld.com and username xxxx.xxxx without the full address.

It's working fine.
 
my dad still uses ntlworld and had this problem

i just made sure imap was enabled and swapped him to that
 
Yeah, use IMAP instead of POP. POP isn't really designed to keep mail in sync across multiple devices; IMAP is.
 
I had loads of trouble setting up my ipad with Ntlworld email, kept sitting on the "verifying" bit for ages.

Eventually gave up, and ended up choosing Microsoft Exchange as the mail type and then using the gmail server (m.gmail.com) and going from there (ntl use googlemail).
