I have just bought a 3rd gen Ipod touch and am unable to get the ipod to send and receive mail reliably.
My account is a business one (btconnect.com) I have a network user name, a network password, a primary email account and password then two secondary email accounts with their passwords. It is one of the secondary accounts that I want to be able to access on the ipod touch.
When setting up the ipod initially with itunes the PC syncs the email account settings you need, this allows you to download your mail via the router but does not allow you to send any mail. Away from home I can do neither, I can only assume from this that the IPod is utilizing my BTnetwork username & password settings in my Router
This problem obviously has something to do with being pointed in the right direction and then a handshake.
In it set up the IPod asks for:
1. POP account information
2. Address (fred@btconnect.com)
3 Description (as it says on the tin!)
Incoming Mail Server:
1. Host Name ?
2. User Name
3. Password
Outgoing Mail Server: (Several server options available)
1: Host Name
2. User Name
3. Password
4. SSL on/off
5.Authentication options: Password/MD5 Challenge responce/NTLM/ HTTP MD5 Digest
6. Server Port: 587 / 465 or other ????
Can anyone help with solving this problem I am yet to come up with a satisfactory solution that dosn't involve forwarding mail onto another account
