Incoming mail server (fiddly N95)

1 replies · 2,055 views · Started 18 September 2007

Could someone help me with the incoming mail server of the free email address that UK customers get from O2. I'd have thought it's mail.o2.co.uk but when I try to retrieve me email it asks me for my username and password again. And then it attempts to connect and then keeps asking me for my username and password.

To make sure that I know my own username and password I logged into my o2 account on my desktop.

Also do all web based emails allow you to use a email client like the one on the N95? Is the incoming mail server always mail.nameofdomain.com or mail.nameofdomain.co.uk?

If not does someone know of more web based email providers that would be easily set up?

It's been a while since I was on O2 but IIRC wasn't it pop3.o2.co.uk. I'm pretty certain their outgoing is smtp.o2.co.uk too.

Hope this helps but don't shoot me if it's wrong. 😊
