Need Help Synching E-Mail to My iPhone!

Hi Warriors,

Quick question:

How can I send/receive my own site e-mail from my iPhone? I want to access, send and receive my own site e-mail, not a Yahoo, GMail, or other free service e-mail.

I know how to get to the e-mail account set-up screen on my new iPod where it asks for the incoming and outgoing e-mail server info. I can get the incoming e-mail server info, but the more pertinent question is:

Do I need to use AT&T's outgoing mail server info to send e-mail from my iPhone or do I use my site's outgoing mail server info???? I know that when I was setting up Outlook on my desktop, I was pulling out my hair trying to set Outlook up to send/receive e-mail to/from my site/domain. Finally, someone at BellSouth (now AT&T) said "Oh, you have to use BellSouth's server info in the outgoing server field."

Duh! Grrrr! (It would have been nice if someone had told me that in the first place!)

Anyway, do I need to do the same thing with my new iPhone? I searched it on Apple's site, but they didn't specify and I don't see it on AT&T's site either. (Granted, I didn't do a deep search on AT&T's site.)

Thanks!

Michelle

    I only get gmail on mine. Maybe a redirect at your site to a gmail account might make it less of a headache?
    cheers

      Thanks Kym! I'm sure this isn't that hard. I'm just not sure...

      Anyone else? I could really use the input.

      Thanks,
      Michelle

    If you want to use an address from your own domain, most likely you will have to enter the incoming POP3 and outgoing SMTP server + username + password - just as you would do when you set up an account in outlook or outlook express... or any other desktop mail client.

    Usually, the servers are something like
    mail.example.com

    EDIT. All this after you select Other on the first page

    Just like setting up outlook

    Get your sites IMAP or POP3 account

    Or do what I did and run off Google Apps!
