Using a tiscali e mail account

Try deleting the account on the iPad and reenter the settings.It appears you made a mistake. But you can try turning off or on SSL in the Advanced setting for that account.

BTW you posted in the iPod touch form.

I am not sure. I think it depends upon the specific provider/account.. I would Google for the following: setup tiscali email on iphone. You should get step by step directions.

I used good old fashioned trial and error and sorted it!!!!!!!!!!

Tiscali settings iPad

Add account

Other (provider)

Type

Name: Your own name choice

Email: your tiscali user name@talktalk.co.uk

Description: talktalk.co.uk

Then click next and choose imap option NOT POP3!!

Then change settings to tiscali.

Incoming mail server

Host name; iMap.tiscali.co.uk

Username;your user name@tiscali.co.uk

Password; your own password

Outgoing mail server

Smtp. Smtp.tiscali.co.uk

Username; leave blank

Password; leave blank

Primary server

Host name; smtp.tiscali.co.uk

Username;

Password;

Use Ssl ; off

Authentication; blank

Server port: 25

hope this works for you!!!!!!!!!

Tried that.....incoming server works but not outgoing even though smtp setting is correctly filled in.

Any further help appreciated

If you want to use your iPad with tiscali/pop mail servers I found that using .......

Out going server: pop.talktalk.net (not tiscali as the iPad automatically sets up)

In coming server: smtp.talktalk.net (again not tiscali as the iPad wants to use)

Then it will search for it and ask you if it need to be secure, tap YES

Hope this helps anyone

None of the above has worked for me. The iPad will still not send email, everthing else is fine.

Hi

It was a long time ago now but......All i remember is that instead of using the correct email address ....@tiscali.co.uk. instead replace tiscali with talktalk so .....@talktalk.co.uk. it will then find talk talk servers as they own tiscali.

hope his helps.
