  • I am trying to set up on my iPad Air. When I do step 6 the iPad starts "verifying" and remains verifying for sometime and eventually locks out the email settings screen & I am unable to go any further. I can receive emails but I am still unable to send.

  • So...the information here is correct but the workflow is slightly wrong and if you follow the instructions you will not connect. Here's what I did to connect: When you set up mail you can follow the instructions up to step 4 but then: When you click 'next' you will open a page which has IMAP and POP tabs - IMAP will be automatically selected but you should click on POP. Under settings you should use mail.tesco.net for both incoming and outgoing settings. Use your full email address for both incoming and outgoing username. Enter your password in the password field for incoming and outgoing settings (don't leave any field blank - nothing is optional). When you click on 'Verify' the update indicator will spin for ages...and then you'll receive an error message saying unable to connect using SSL (this is fine - Tesco doesn't use SSL). The message box will ask if you want to try to connect without SSL - click 'Yes'. The update dial will spin for ages and then the same error will pop up again - stick with it and select 'Yes' in response to the 'Try to connect without SSL' message. Brace for another long wait but eventually the mail client will connect to both the POP3 and SMTP servers without SSL security and your mail will download. If you're having problems go to Safari and browse to email.tesco.net, enter your full email address as a username and then your password. If you can't get to your email through the web interface you've either got your email address or your password wrong - either way you've no hope of setting up your iPad or iPhone using settings which don't work on the web interface.
