| 1353837 | 2013-09-18 21:56:00 | For some reason I keep getting the "username or password incorrect" error message when trying to set up an Orcon email account on my iPod. Is this because Orcon is not my ISP? Have followed the instructions given here (www.orcon.net.nz) and double/triple checked all settings, including username and password to no effect. | FoxyMX (5) | ||
| 1353838 | 2013-09-19 00:08:00 | This suggests to me that it has to be an Orcon account: • Password: your Orcon email account password |

| 1353839 | 2013-09-19 05:06:00 | Hmm... not sure about that Greg. I have no trouble accessing my Orcon account in Eudora with POP so *should* be able to with IMAP as well, I would have thought. Gmail works fine on the iPod so why not Orcon? :illogical | FoxyMX (5) | ||
| 1353840 | 2013-09-19 05:18:00 | I didn't know you could have an Orcon email account without being a customer. But I can't help either way sorry. | Greg (193) | ||
| 1353841 | 2013-09-19 05:20:00 | Years ago they used to allow people to have free life-time email accounts with them whether customers or not but have discontinued new registrations now. Thanks anyway. | FoxyMX (5) | ||
| 1353842 | 2013-09-19 07:38:00 | POP and IMAP are two different things. Check that they offer IMAP (not many ISP's do as standard). Or just use POP on your mobile as well (set "leave on server" for 14 days or so). |

| 1353844 | 2013-09-19 08:22:00 | Are you at home with Orcon via your router? If you are outside with using 3G internet, I just use the gmail servers for smtp and i use my ISP for pop servers. If you are not at that particular moment logged into Orcon they won't let you smtp. |

Have tried POP and IMAP with same results for both. Still keeps telling me my username or password is incorrect. :( |
