How To Set Up ireland.com email on Vodaphone HTC Sensation

Lemag

Hi there,

I'm trying to set up an existing ireland.com email account on a Vodafone HTC Sensation smart phone with the IMAP protocol. This email account was previously successfully set up on a Blackberry.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I dropped ireland.com's support digitalworx an email around this time yesterday but have yet to receive a response.

Thanks.

This is the response which was received eventually from ireland.com/digitalworx

Good Afternoon

Here are the full settings - they are specific to the iPhone but will contain
the same information:

Go to settings, then go to mail, contacts calendars

Click add a/c

Click other

click add mail a/c

then

Name: yourname
Address: yourname@ireland.com
Password: your password
Description: is automatically populated

Click save.

On the next screen you need to enter in

Incoming mail server

Hostname: imap.ireland.com
Username: yourlogonname (dont include @ireland.com on this part)

Outgoing Mail server

Hostname: smtpx.ireland.com

You dont need to re enter your username or password

Hit save

The trick was actually to leave the protocol as 'pop' and still use the imap server address. I think that I also went with the full email address as the username. Hope this will be of use to someone else in a similar situation.
