I can't set up my tiscali email on my ipad2

Oh really? Do you have a question or are you just letting everyone know? Have you searched Google? Have you contacted Tiscali support and asked them for the correct settings?

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!!!!!!!!!

Im having exactly the same problem. I have followed your instructions, but how do you get to the Primary server part???

For primary server

Goto

Settings

Mail contacts and calendars

Under accounts click on your new provider/account you have just set up.

Under IMAP click on account name you have just set up.

Under outgoing mail server click on you new provider you have set up under SMTP......

You will see the primary server at the top of this list.

Hope this helps.

Just bought mini iPad and was v frustrated at not being able to add my tiscali email - your method worked - thanks.

Snoots.

After trying for the longest time to set my partners Tiscali account up on both the original iPad and the latest iPad 4th generation version, I had failed miserably .

However, I have just followed our very clear and concise instructions, and like magic, he can now access his Tiscali/Talktalk account on both iPads .

Thank you so much, this information works like a dream.

I am struggling with this same dilemma. I'm not particularly good with these things but I tried the above instructions and they didn't work for me. They said can't connect try using ask which still doesn't work :(

Sadly, I dont't seem able to post my "help" document here. Happy to send it on if you can contact me.

It may be worth noting that Tiscali don't allow for emails to be sent via their SMTP servers on other networks. So if you want to send email you'll need to be connected to your Tiscali internet connection to do so.

Just a final note to add to this. After much searching around I have now come up with a way of making Tiscali emails send from any Internet connection. See the two links below. It's a bit of a faff having to create an O2 account, but once it is created, you set this as your primary server in the iPad email settings for Tiscali and that's it. All emails send and receive from your normal Tiscali account, but simply use the O2 server as a third party. Works for me... Pity it took 10 months to find the answer....!
