    I had a lot of trial and error before getting iPhone 4s to work with my eircom emails.

    First, disable wifi. Work on the 3G network.

    Go into Settings Icon
    Go to Mail
    Add New Account
    Scroll down and hit 'Other'
    Add Mail Account
    Name: Your Name
    Address: whatever@eircom.net
    Password: your regular eircom password
    Description: [doesn't matter. I used my email address]

    It will try to fetch settings from Vodafone and fail, and you will need to fill in the following:-

    POP Account information
    Name: Your Name
    Address: whatever@eircom.net
    Description: [as before – should appear for you]

    Incoming Mail Server
    Host Name: mail1.eircom.net
    User name: whatever@eircom.net
    Password: your regular eircom password

    Outgoing Mail Server SMTP
    Host Name: mail1.eircom.net
    Leave the rest in that section blank as it is optional

    It then tries to set it up using SSL, say no to this and eventually you will be given the option of saving the settings. Save them and exit the settings menu. Then TURN OFF YOUR iPHONE, re-start it and then go into the mail app.

    It should now work....
