Can't set up email on my Samsung Galaxy S Phone - Can anyone help me?

[#1]

Hi
Has anyone found a way to set up their plus net email to be accessed on a Samsung Galaxy S phone (I'm on Orange)
I can see from forum and internet searches than other are having problems, but can't seem to find a solution.
Thanks
Ian

What problems are you having Ian?
I'm not accustomed with the Galaxy S however it shouldn't be all that different from any other smartphone. You'll probably have problems whilst connected to Orange though as they've a tendency to intercept traffic sent on port 25 which will stop you using our relay server to send your messages.
You might get away with using orange's SMTP server to send your messages, although that will then cause problems when you're connected via wi-fi. Suppose you could look at using Gmail to send your messages using an alternative port like 465? (worth noting that the final screengrab in that link is wrong as secure authentication should be disabled and not enabled).

Thanks for reply Bob,
Here's what happens:
1. Under 'settings' I click Accounts & Sync - (auto sync is unticked)
2. I click 'add a/c' - under More Accounts I click corporate
3. 'set up email' - I enter my email address - usual plus net one + enter a password + click next
4. Heading of Exchange Server Setting:
Domain\Username has prepopulated "\ian"
Password is populated
Exchange Server is prepopulated with "(my username).plus.com
There is also a tick against using secure connectin (SSL)
I then complete the fields as follows
Domain username with "\ianblurton" (my username)
server exchange with "mail.plus.net"
I leave the SSL ticked
The next page displays the filed with my input but with option to "accept all SSL certificates" - I leave unticked
Next then displays "cheking incoming server settings"
result displays "Set up could not finish. Unable to connect to server"
When I tried other set up routines and had the opportunity to enter outgoing server details I ve used "SMTP relay.plus.net"
Same result as above
Anything obvious I'm doing wrong?
Thanks for looking
Ian

This is more than likely the problem, from the rest of the steps following this it sounds as though the phone is trying to set up access to an exchange server, which ours isn't. You need to choose 'manual setup' and use our email server addresses here: http://www.plus.net/support/email/setup/settings.shtml

If you're not using the default mailbox
They should be
Username:  <accountname>+<mailbox>
Password: <mailbox password>
The same as you use to access PlusNet webmail
Hope that helps
