Mail account information - iPhone

 
Mail account information

Mail is pretty solid, but you may find that when you set up your account, you didn't enter all the password information necessary to send mail. The iPhone doesn't tell you this; it just says that the password is incorrect. Check to see if your outgoing mail server needs a password and, if it does, enter it by going to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and choosing the mail account. Tap the mail server under Outgoing Mail Server, then the Primary Server, and finally enter your email account's authentication details.

Other common problems

One thing that happens quite often is that the iPod controls - both on the iPhone screen and with the inline mic - lose the ability to play, pause and skip songs. The solution is simple: just quit the /Podapplication (see page 92 for details) and relaunch it.

Another common complaint is that there's no sound coming from either the speaker or receiver on the iPhone. The simplest solution to this is to unplug and then plug in the headphones around five or six times. A more conventional way to fix this problem is to go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
 

Make sure your outgoing mail server options are property set up in MaiL
 

Safari is generally a lot better than it was in earlier versions, but still occasionally quits when loading graphics-intensive pages. Aside from a reboot, you could try clearing the cache, cookies and, if you wish, history, Another thing that sometimes happens is the touchscreen becomes completely unresponsive to links. This can happen at any time, and means you can't navigate away from the page you're visiting (unless you have more pages open, that is). Again, the fix is easy -just force quit the application. A restart is better, but more time-consuming.

If you experience any other problems with your iPhone, such as freezes, crashes and any abnormal behaviour, try the reset described on page 93.  




QUICK TIP 
 
The iPhone has a setting for always adding a Bcc to yourself when you send an email, so you can keep a copy of everything you send. To enable it, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and from the Mail settings, choose Always Bcc Myself .
