Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
My iphone 5 e-mail setting POP suddenly stopped working - cannot read e-mail. Contacted provider - OPTUS in Australia - could not help - they put me thru to Apple - could not help with incoming server connections. Can I plug it in to Mac - Itunes and do it that way - very frustrating!
Differences between POP and IMAP
It's good to have options. IMAP and POP let you access Yahoo Mail using mobile devices and external email programs. Find out which is best for you.
IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol)
- The default way a mobile device accesses your Yahoo Mail account.
- Changes made to messages on a mobile device automatically reflect in Yahoo Mail on the web and vice versa.
POP (Post Office Protocol)
- Yahoo Mail messages are delivered directly to your email client.
- Copies of messages in both Yahoo Mail and the email client are independent of one another.
- Make changes to messages on your email client without impacting their counterparts in your web-based Yahoo Mail.
- You must configure your email client to keep a copy of your messages on our server or your emails will automatically be deleted from Yahoo Mail on the web.
- Check with the manufacturer of your mail client for assistance configuring this setting.POP and IMAP settings resources

I have seen this but do not know how to change/access incoming port in POP
Go to Settings/Mail/Your Account/Advanced/Settings for incomming mail/Server port and tap behind the shown number if you want to change it. But usually those default settings are correct.
i only have advanced settungs for outgoing server
Your settings in Mail should read:
Server for outgoing mail
SMTP <Name of the server >
Advanced >
tapping on Advanced will take you to the screen where you can select the time before read messages can will be deleted. Right beneath that you should find the
Settings for incomming mail
Use SSL on/off
Authorization password>
Server-Port <Number>
cannot see Sent folder in POP mail - any help?
Did you already send mail using this account on your phone?
I have IMAP all set up, now,thanks - just want to set up POP - I should be OK - will let you know and then I will give you the tick of OK
just cannot get POP to work - IMAP good
i can receive pop but cannot send
How can I delete ALL the smtp servers on my iphone - i may have some turned on and conflicted?
You can only switch the server to "off". Deleteing the account will delete the server list as well.
Yes - but when I re-istate the e-mail address they all come back
If the server is switched to "off" the settings can't confilct with another active server.
yes thats what i have it on, but there are so many and multiples - just want to clean up so next time i dont have 2 turned on and have all the trouble i had - know what i mean?
