iphone on new email system

[RFH Reseller: marty101]

has anyone got their iphone running off of the new email system?

[RFH Reseller: EdD]

yes, using IMAP but without push notifications - let me know if you need some help configuring it is quite straightforward using the same settings as you would any other mail account.

[RFH Reseller: marty101]

yeah if you could please.

I'm using ;

INcoming Mail Server:
Host Name: mail.domain.com
Username: emailaddress
Password: ****
I have turned SSL Off
Authentication: MD5 Challenge-Response
Server Port: 110

Outgoing Mail Server:
Host Name: mail.domain.com
Username: emailaddress
Password: ****
I have turned SSL Off
Authentication: MD5 Challenge-Response
Server Port: 25

I'm using the following

INcoming Mail Server:
Host Name: mail.domain.com

Authentication: Password
Server Port: 993

Outgoing Mail Server:
Host Name: mail.domain.com
Username: emailaddress
Password: ****
I have turned SSL Off
Authentication: Password
Server Port: 465

I set another RFH user up the other day using password authentication with POP/SMTP, no problems.
Sending via the RFH server using the alternate port 587.
Didn't use MD5 as I thought I'd read somewhere it wasn't supported.

Changing the authentication from MD5 to Password has also worked for me.

challenge:

I have 2 mail accounts support@domain.com, admin@domai.com etc.

I am unable to configure the two mail to work on the iphone. I can't create another smtp entry with the same mail.domain.com, but the entry that is there has the email address from the first account as its authentication. - it tries to reuse that for the other account.

So I can receive mail on as many accounts as I wish, but the outgoing mail will always be from the first SMTP mail address.

Any ideas?

I think you should be able to add as many SMTP servers as you like.

Under: Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars

Choose the account you want to edit, under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading, choose SMTP. If you scroll right to the bottom of that page, listing all the SMTP servers already setup on your phone, there is an option to add a new one.

[Pensive]

It does, as long as they are different servers. You can add only one smtp server with "mail.curioushippo.com" it would appear.

If you attempt to add another smtp server putting in your alternative account login details, it just sits there "Verifying SMTP account information" for 30 seconds or so, eventually failing the connection with "Secure Connection Failed the certificate for "SMTP:support@curioushippo.com@mail.curioushippo.c om" may not be valid.

Cancel or continue, never to succeed.
The settings im putting in are correct.

Humm, what a pain. You may be able to get the SMTP servers over by syncing the mail accounts from your computer via iTunes, rather than setting them up directly on the phone? Another option would be to use a different domain when specifying the second smtp server, whether you use the canonical mail server domain, eg. mail.arsenic.lon.periodicnetwork.com, or set up another mail record in your site's DNS, mail2 perhaps, and make it a CNAME record pointing to the original mail.yourdomain.com record on your domain. Bit of a kluge, but it could well work.
