    I use mail1.eircom.net for my outgoing and it works on my wifi (not eircom) and also on my 3G which is vodafone.

    You have not said who your email provider is.

    I have a feeling you do not have eircom broadband at home.

    Eircom changed their systems a while back so that in order to send mail through mail1.eircom.net you had to be on their network.

    My understanding is that you need to use the smtp setting for the network you are on. So there would be one for vodafone and another for three.

    Personally i would suggest using gmail or non pop3 mail.

    I dont have an iphone but this post shows what to do for O2 and the outgoing mail setting for vodafone is mail.vodafone.ie
