So you're not collecting email from a PlusNet email account ?
The incoming servers must always be those of the provider of the email account. For outgoing mail it becomes trickier, you EITHER send using the smtp server of the network to which you are connected ( difficult when you wish to switch between wifi and 3g ) OR you use authenticated smtp to the PlusNet server ( assuming you have a PlusNet Broadband account ). To use authentication to the PlusNet server you must use a PlusNet username/password. This is either the main account username & password ( the ones you use to login to the member centre ) or a plusnet mailbox username & password in the form mailboxname+username & mailbox password. The reason for port 587 ( rather than the usual 25 ) on the outgoing is that some 3g networks will block outgoing traffic on port 25 unless it's to their own smtp server. Here's an example of setting up the IpHone mail client for authenticated smtp

Hope that helps
