Sender address rejected by server

Hi,


Have recently purchased a new iPad (iPad 3) and performed an iCloud backup to get the data and settings from my old (1st generation) iPad onto the new one. The new one was working fine for a while however when I tried to send emails I was greeted with the error messages 'sender address was rejected by the server' or 'recipient address was rejected by the server'.


I searched the Internet for possible solutions, and the most common suggestion was to delete the account and put its information back again. I have done this several times now, each time it works for about a day at most before I get an error message, of late most of them are the sender address one.


I am able to send and receive fine on my old iPad, this problem happens only on my new iPad even though the account settings are exactly the same.


Any help would be appreciated, fast help that has a log term solution would be appreciated even more so.


Joe.

iPad, iOS 5.1.1
