    Hi,

    Not sure if I'm in the right forum but hopefully somebody can help me. Currently trying to set up email on a tablet as a Christmas present.

    It's an @eircom.net email address, and I've got as far as the outgoing server settings but can't get any further. Vodafone provides our home wifi (not sure if that makes any difference)

    Here's the settings I have entered:
    SMTP server: mail.vodafone.ie (got this off the home computer)
    Port: 587
    Security Type: None

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Hijpo is correct - see this link for Vodafone's SMTP (outgoing) mail server info:
