When setting up I get the option to use imap or pop and use the following
Trying with imap:
Incoming: imap.plus.net
Username: account+mailbox
Password ******
Outgoing: relay.plus.net
Username: account
Password: *****
When using these settings the ipad goes to verifying and comes back with an error asking to retry without using SSL, I click yes and it tries again at this point it just hangs for a good 5 – 10 minutes and times out.
Using POP:
Incoming: mail.plus.net
Username: account+mailbox
Password: *****
Outgoing: relay.plus.net
Username: account
Password: ******
Again it tries verifying the account comes back with retry using SSL and again when trying this it hangs for a good amount of time and times out, can’t see any real error messages that give me much to go on, certainly account, mailbox and passwords are ok as I have been through this process many times over the years I have been with plusnet.
Anyone else with an ipad have similar issues? or anyone know where I could be going wrong, the Ipad is actually the first apple product I have owned so I could well be doing something wrong.
Thanks

"Cannot Send Mail - The conntection to the outgoing server "replay.plus.net" failed. Additional Outgoing Mail Servers can be configured in Settings > Mail, Contacts and Calendars".
Similarly, I have successfully configured notebooks and iphones in the past. Have double checked username / password / server details - but still not joy.
Have 'even' resorted to trying restarting the ipad couple of time to see if that made any difference - but alas no.
So similarly, any assistance greatly received.

Quote from: MBBude outgoing server "replay.plus.net" failed.
Welcome to the forum MBBude.
Is the 'replay' in the quote above a typo?

The problem we found is that to set up POP you enter on the iPad
User: account+name
password: for the email account for that specific name
to set up SMTP
User: account
password: for the whole account
This is different from setting up PCs and not logical, but it works.
