Kevin
I solved the problem. I was missing “Cellular Data Network” information from China Mobile.
Now it works. Thanks.

I am using Iphone 3GS and following your instructions it works excellent using wifi, but when I turn off wifi and use 3G, error message appear asking for incoming mail server password for the email aliases. Please help!

Ken,
You don’t even need to register your original account’s email in the outgoing field. You can put any alias as long as your login is correct. I actually don’t have an iPhone right now, but I think that’s how it works.

Hey, thanks for the tip. Is there any way to have the outgoing emails default to one address or do I have to chose the one I want every time? In other words, could I set up my gmail account on the iPhone with the desired alias (already registyered in gmail)?

Thanks

I’ve updated the instructions to avoid this problem.

I agree with Robby. I used all the steps described, but when i don’t fill in the “incoming mail” fields, it does not allow me to save the account. Thoughts/Ideas?

@Robby
I think you can enter something and then delete it later.

When I don’t fill in the “incoming mail” fields, it doesn’t let me save the account. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Kevin,
I guess Joe is with eINK. Walter Bender, not sure. I was one of JCPenney’s reps in the News in the Future Consortium. I really enjoy my Friday video conferences with Walter when he was Chief Scientist. I was involved between 94 and 99. Nothing gave me more pleasure than coming up to the lab walking through checking out all the new tecnology, writing up reports to take back to Plano, Texas to marry some tech with further funding to develop some retail applications for JCP. Early eINK signs that you could roll up and stick under your arm then unroll and stick on the front window of a JCP or CVS store, then program a message through a wireless beeper type device was cool back in the 90’s.
