Optonline for mail app

Bitter · 12-28-2007, 09:24 PM

Alright so in my jailbroken iPod I have the mail app and since Yahoo won't work with it unless I purchase the Yahoo Plus or whatever it is called, so I wanted to use my Optonline email account. I know friends who have done it, so I figured I would too. I choose 'Other' and fill out the information I THINK is right, and I cannot send or receive email, it says that the incoming and outgoing addresses are wrong. So does anyone know what the addresses are for Optonline? I really need this solved fast =/ Thanks.

Is there some reason why you haven't asked Optonline?

They don't respond quick enough.

Never heard of Optonline, but a quick search yielded this for Outgoing (SMTP) server for OPTOnline Internet Service:
mail.optonline.net

This page seems to have info on their mail setup if this is the same company you're talking about:

I am 99% sure that mail.optonline.net is the incoming address, but the outgoing I am not sure about, I have tried smtp.optonline.net and smtp.mail.optonline.net and neither seem to work.

Sorry for the double post. But this thread can be closed now. I contacted Optimum...and FINALLY got a response which explained that both the incoming and outgoing address is mail.optonline.net so that solves my email problems.
