I cannot get my idnet account email working on my phone. Worked fine on the tablet, both android, but the newer one is a new flavour of android, so no idea if that matters. The default "detect" settings did not know if I wanted pop or imap, and picked up the old (I assume) mail.idnet.com address...

Any idea what I need to type in, and what security, SSL or TLS to choose. Thanks.

[edit]
Ah, seem to have got it, setting SSL (accept all) and putting user name the same as email as it had both fields. I assumed "username" would be "nick name" and email was used for login, my mistake, I guess it's the other way around, "email" meant "email account nick name" and "user name" meant "login name (which is the same as an email address 99% of the time). I'm sure being dyslexic, left handed, uneducated and stupid is an ok excuse for me though! ;)
I use to have a signature, then it all changed to chip and pin.
