    incoming mail server needs to be who the email is with so if your email is with gmail its the gmail incoming mail server.

    outgoing email server needs to be whatever service provider you are using. so if your with vodaofone its the vodafone outgoing mail server.

    incoming : imap.gmail.com
    outgoing : mail.vodafone.ie

    you need to be sure these mail servers are correct too

    hi steve

    i have tried both your suggestions just incase and it still wont work. Imap.gmail.com in and Vodafone.ie and .com in and even the other way round and it still wont work. i guess its not compatable with vodafone as it worked when i was with Eircom.

    Make sure that you turn off SMTP authentication if you're using mail.vodafone.ie as the outbound server.

    If you'd previously been using xxxx.gmail.com for outbound e-mails. then it sounds like you probably still have authentication turned on.

    Alternatively you can use smtp.gmail.com if you follow the instructions here (using 465 instead of 25 as the outbound port).
