Apple iPhone and Network Solutions web mail

I have an iPhone 3G and I also have an email account with network solutions. I access (using my computer) the email account from the web only.
My emaill address on the account is [email protected] and  I'm trying to configure the email on the iPhone so I can go directly to the email account.
Any ideas? Network solutions can't help (they gave me lots of settings to try and spent time on the phone with me) nor can Apple.
Thanks for any help.

    I can receive email on this account, but I can send. 

  • jill_cartwri Dec 02, 2008

    I have the same problem. I tried changing the port as Jimmy suggested, but still get an error message saying that the recipient email address is invalid, which it isn't. I've tried sending messages to a variety of accounts and keep getting the same error. Any ideas? Thanks so much for your help!

  • kingbrumbie Dec 11, 2008

    And me too! I'm having the same problem as well. I setup my new 3G iPhone with the same settings that were in my 2G iPhone but my 3G won't receive or send emails. I have several Network Solutions email accounts along with a 1and1.com account and a godaddy.com account. The 1and1 account along with the godaddy account work just fine, it's just those Network Solutions email accounts that still aren't working....HELP!!!

So I had the same problem using a Network Solutions mail account and got it working. Here is what I did:

Name: Whatever you want
Address: [email protected] (user specific) Must include the @domain
Description: same as above
INCOMING MAIL SERVER
User Name: [email protected] (user specific) Must include the @domain
password: password
OUTGOING MAIL SERVER
Host name: smtp.domain.com
Username:no entry
password:no entry

At message that SSL failed select YES to continue without using SSL should get message twice (incoming & outgoing server tests)

Made no changes to Authentication (default-password) or Server port (default-25)

Came up and began to load mail instantly.Sent test mail and all is good.

Had exactly the same problem getting my Network Solutions account to work on my iphone 3GS but this helped
http://www.networksolutions.com/support/assets/Email-Support/Mobile-Setup/iphonesetup.pdf
I found that after the first step where you hit "save" I was not selecting POP at the top of the screen but rather leaving it on IMAP which is default. Hope this works for you all

I had this problem, only fix was to disable SSL on send and receive. Not sure but probably means I need a SSL certificate for my site to be able to use SSL, In particular settings similar to the following worked:
Name : Bob Smith
Address: [email protected]
Descriotion: Bob Smith
Host Name: mail.smith.com
User Name: [email protected]
Password: ........
SMTP: Primary server ON
Host: mail.smith.com
User Name: [email protected]
Password: ........
Authentication: Password
Use SSL: OFF
Server Port: 587
Advanced: Remove: After 1 week
Use SSL: OFF
Authentication: MSD Challenge Response
Delete from Server: When removed from inbox
Server Port: 110

Not sure if anyone has posted the fix. Here is how I was able to send e-mail through my Network Solutions account. Under your specified e-mail account there is an option for "Outgoing Mail Server". Select this setting and you should see your outbound smtp server listed under "Primary Server". Click on this setting and change the "Server Port" from 587 (Port 587 is reserved for email message submission) to port 25.

You should not be able now send e-mail.

Cheers!

Yes, something is missing. editing solutions #5 and 6, make sure you specify
INCOMING mail server as mail.domain.com (user specific), eg mail.jimsbikes.com
User Name: [email protected] (user specific) Must include the @domain <- this is what got mine to work!
ports 110 for incoming, 25 for outgoing (default)

    To all the people who replied so far: The original question has nothing to do with setting up the iPad's email client. Rather, it has to do with accessing the web mail client that Netsol provides. Apparently the version of Safari that installed on iPad does not work with Network Solutions web mail, which appears to me to be highly Java-based and/or based on other scripting languages--much more coded than any other web mail system I've used. Network Solutions' web mail works fine on Safari running on a Mac. Obviously, Safari on an iPad is a different (scaled down, perhaps?) beast.

    Anyway, there's no solution I've found to using Netsol's web mail on an iPad. However, configuring the iPad mail client works fine, as many previous answerers to this question have already attested to.

I have the same problem with my iPod Touch, so obviously this is a problem between Apple and Network Solutions and the way their respective hardware talks to each other. For what it's worth, I was able to SEND mail through my network solutions acct. using the iTouch, but not receive.

I tried all the posted fixes and had no luck. But when I called Network Solutions finally at 1-800-333-7680, they were very helpful and got me up and running quickly. I didn't write down all the steps so I can't post, but there were several not covered in the solutions posted.

My yahoo mail account was hacked and now my 3g phone won't send email

You probably need to change your yahoo email password using either the web browser on your phone or better still on your computer (easier to navigate yahoo on computer) Once you have reset your password, you will need to go back into your settings menu on the iPhone and change your password in the phone settings in order to access your email again.

How can i push on emails on my 3G iphone/

Getting Started
1 Tap on the Settings app icon on the home page 2. Scroll down and open Mail Contacts Calendars
3 Tap Add Account
4 Select Microsoft Exchange
5 In the Email field, enter your Gmail address Leave the Domain field blank Enter your Google s Username and Password Once done tap Save You might see the Unable to verify certificate error message Select ccept
6 A new Server input field will now appear Enter m.google.com Tap Next to continue
7 Select the Google services that you want to sync. For me, I activated all the available synchronization services. Tap Done google sync enable Your Google sync Push notification services is now set up To activate the push notification you need to turn the Push feature on in the iPhone Settings section.At the Mail Contacts, Calendar section tap Fetch New Data Make sure that the Push is turned to ON Done Few things to note 1 Google sync requires you to be constantly connected to the Web You have to keep your 3G or WIFI connection Always Of for the best result 2 The push notification can be very draining on your battery life If you value your battery life much more than the push technology turn the Push feature OFF for optimal performance Push email support is one of the iPhone 3G s most anticipated features for road warriors but it doesn't work with just any email account Find out how to get hooked up The iPhone 2.0 software available for the iPhone 3G iPhone and iPod touch can t automatically turn any email account into push email It can only instantly send new messages to your phone if your email service supports push email The new iPhone 2.0 software supports push email in conjunction with Microsoft Exchange servers and Apple s Mobile Me service (the replacement for Apple s Mac Apple has labelled Mobile Me Exchange for the rest of us and it can push email to devices running iPhone 2.0 plus keep the device in sync with Microsoft Outlook on a PC or Mail Address Book and i Cal on a Mac he new iPhone s main settings menu now features a new icon Fetch New Data which lets you enable push email You can also schedule the phone to automatically check non-push email services every 15 30 or 60 minutes, or else only manually Which email works with push Push support from other services depends on the provider. The original iPhone supported push email with Yahoo by routing email through i map.apple mail yahoo.com but the service was flaky. This is still the default Yahoo email wizard configuration under iPhone 2.0 but if it refuses to work you can still go into Other and manually set up POP3 Yahoo access Gmail does not support push email only I MAP or POP3 What if I m using G mail or my email from an ISP like iiNet Of course the workaround is to forward your existing email address such as a G mail account, to your Mac account You could even create server side filters on G mail to only forward emails from certain senders to your Mac address to ensure you re not bombarded with push email spam You can also configure Mobile Me to automatically check external POP3 email accounts but this won t get emails from a G mail account to your phone as quickly as it would if your G mail account was automatically forwarding them Push email uses more data The iPhone 2.0 mail client only downloads email headers from I MAP and POP3 servers, in order to save bandwidth When accessing push email services the phone automatically downloads the body of the email and small attachments meaning you need a generous monthly data allowance The iPhone disables its wifi adaptor when sleeping switching over to the mobile data network. This means most of your push email will come down over the mobile data network while the phone is at rest, even when you're within range of a wifi network

Can you surf the web on an Apple iPhone without a Wi-Fi connection?

There are two nation-wide cell networks that allow you to browse the internet. The EDGE network (for original iPhone) and the 3G network (3G is faster, but not as widespread and can only be accessed through the iPhone 3G ). iPhone monthly plans include unlimited use of the internet, without using up your calling minutes.

If you can take advantage of a nearby wireless hub, you'll have much better speed than when you're on a cell-phone data network... but even without wireless, you can still browse, email, work and play via the EDGE or 3G cell-phone network.

Setting up Email Acct with Iphone

well to the first person unfortunatly the bellsouth email system is not yet designed to work with the 3g network so you would have to turn that off to use bellsouth.

Also for all of you need to remember that both Yahoo and AOL email work with the IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol. It is a method of accessing electronic mail or bulletin board messages that are kept on a (possibly shared) mail server. In other words, it permits a "client" email program to access remote message stores as if they were local. For example, email stored on an IMAP server can be manipulated from a desktop computer at home, a workstation at the office, and a notebook computer while traveling, without the need to transfer messages or files back and forth between these computers.

where as the bellsouth system is a POP system. what the means is that when you check your email client on either the computer or the phone it is actually pulling the mail from the bellsouth server to the respective devices and deleting the email unless you have both set to leave a copy on the bellsouth server.

and again the sending and recieving issues with bell south is due to the 3g network

Push emails not working

I've been told that there are e-mail limitations on an Iphone such as one e-mail account per phone. Kind of sad that Apple did that since most Blackberry phones can handle up to 10 e-mail accounts and possibly even more if you have access to a Blackberry domain controller.

You might have to use the web browser to get your ymail to work. I take it Ymail is Yahoo Mail?
