| 1269433 | 2012-04-11 23:03:00 | Please excuse my lack of understanding on this subject and bear with me as I struggle to explain the issue clearly also. I have 3 email addresses, 2 on round cube and 1 on another system. My question is is it possible to use the email function on my iPad, plus Windows live mail and access emails remotely from pc's at work etc ? It seems that when I have tried all this before when the mail is downloaded to my windows live mail I can no longer access the mail fr,on any other location. Any tips or help appreciated. Thanks |

| 1269437 | 2012-04-12 08:42:00 | So my next question is if I am using the default email system on the iPad and wifi how can I get the mail to check when it goes between wireless networks eg home and work with one being smtp clear and the other smtp Vodafone, or is this just not possible ?

Cheers You can receive your mail from any ISP connection using your email account username and password with either POP3 or IMAP Sending mail - You can only send through the SMTP server of the ISP your connection is with so you would have to change the SMTP server each time to match your wireless connection. The other way is to setup secure SMTP by turning on SSL and use port 465 and send through your main ISP SMTP server regardless who you are connected with. Most ISP's have this option available now as it is needed with the increased use of portable devices. |

Does this require to be an imap set up or can it be pop also ? If you have a link explaining this that'd be awesome, cheers |

| 1269441 | 2012-04-12 10:51:00 | No, IMAP, POP & SMTP are all completely separate and independant protocols. Using your main SMTP server to send mail, from a "foreign" network, does NOT require the use of SSL or port 465 (or even authentication) unless that is specified by that particular SMTP host. Pretty much ALL providers now do require SMTP AUTH to relay mail, but that's all. Using SSL (STARTTLS is now preferred to the old "full time" SSL implementation as it doesn't need a dedicated port such as 465 above) to prevent transmitting your user/password in plain text over the net when AUTHing is a very good idea. Using an alternate mail submission port (587 is usual) avoids issues with port 25 being rejected from zombie infested 'home-user' netblocks. Basically there are a few different options to solve the problem, but which one will depend on the SMTP server you are connecting to and what it supports. |
