Colleague decided to have an Apple phone instead of something that works.
He wants his works email on it.
Entering the account details that are the same as the one's on the Mail Server on his PC means he still cannot get mail on his Worm-ridden pocket weight.
Is there anyone who knows how to resolve this?
I think the prob may be the outgoing SMTP address.

You need a special tool: There is an app for that[^] - apply to phone, then to Luser if he complains...

does not match. SMTP is for outgoing mail and POP or IMAP for incoming.
Maybe this helps: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4810[^].

OK, in order to GET MAIL he needs to set up his mail account.
On the set up it fails.
I think it is failing on the SMTP portion.

That is a problem description we all like at Q&A and in the programming forums 
Seriously:
Check everything that has been entered (account, password, mail address, server names, ports, SSL).
Setup failures will occur when the connection to one of the servers fails. Your colleague may also use his PC to check if the servers are actually online (his works email is your companies mail?).

I did this without any problems on
+ My private iPhone for my Yahoo-mail
+ My work iPhone, exchange.
I never saw any SMTP stuff or "ingoing/outgoing" fields. All I entered was my full email address and password [and "name"]. Under the first step: settings > e-mail > add account I guess it is important to keep your eyes open and select the closest corresponding option, or experiment with differnt ones.
In a normal desktop client I usually suffer quite a hassle to set-up IMAP (to get folders replicated) but my phone figured it all out in a flash.
My tupence, hope it helps a bit...

If he is connecting to an Exchange server, they server must have ActiveSync enabled. I can't recall if this is at the server level or user level.
It has been a couple of years since this was set up and I was on the edge anyway, not sure if I am remembering correctly.
Also it does seem to me like I have had a problem where I was able to get incoming mail (pop or imap) set up but still fail on outgoing (smtp).
Jack of all trades, master of none, though often times better than master of one.

Activate the alternative server that doesn't start with SMTP

I kinda feel sorry for you with that story about your date.
I am hopping that you will like her. But for next year i wish you to be brave enough to ask that cute, single coworker from the next room

Why?
We know each other for 4 years now, and the reason that's not gonna be a 'normal' date is that she lives a long way away in South Florida.
Apart from that, we live in a modern world where men can be asked out on a date, too. It will most certainly be me who is going to visit her next, not vice versa, so that's a fair deal.
Edit: Maybe I have to add that the test was on Facebook, so I strongly suspect that she did it until my picture was there

I'm still not sure whether my standards are too high, or the other guy's standards are too low.

I was left with the impression you had assigned Val's date for this year and you didn't meet her yet.

Wrong. Well, maybe that post was a bit poorly written.
We know each other, and we share a lot of common interests (Most important: We are both absolute dog persons).

I don't have a dog, yet - Mind that I'm only 20 years old yet, and as much as I want a dog I can't have one because I lack of time I'd need to care about it.
