Okay. Ive read a bunch of threads on this before posting. Please experts, answer this. When I connect my iphone 3G to my PC and open itunes, everything is great. All the music and apps I purchase work great. Love it.

I live in Tampa Bay, Florida. My roadrunner pop and smtp settings are pop-server.tampabay.rr.com and smtp is smtp-server.tampabay.rr.com. A lot of people are successfull adding :587 after the .rr.com on the smtp, but hasnt helped me as far as flawlessly being able to send and receive mail on the iphone unless im connected to my home wi-fi. I know Im one of many annoyed by this. Nothing will ever work as good as the other apps like gmail and aol and mobileme, etc...

So when I go to sinc my itunes, my primary email account is in the list and it allows me to transfer it over to my iphone. Doing it that way makes it seem to work pretty well. But why doesnt my 2nd of 2 accounts show up in the itunes list so it can also be transferred to the 3G? Youre only allowed to move the primary over? Weird... So if you experts can explain that, I appreciate it so much.

I have no choice but to add my second example@tampabay.rr.com email address by choosing other on the iphone and adding it manually, but it never stores it because I can never get past the smtp authentication bs to even get in and turn it off! :)

Thanks! God Bless!
