    I think their mail server checks you connecting IP, if it is not one of theirs or you have not subscribed to a "pop mail package" form CSL or similar, you cant send emails out.

    was just trying to add it as well and tried all the usual settings.

    searched a little on google and stumbled upon this page. looks like they indeed are checking.

    why torture yourself with Netvigator.

    Their outbound mail delivery is flaky at best.

    just setup a forwarding them to somewhere, where it works. Thought that may lead you to message loss.

    Or why don't you POP the mail account from another service?

    You need to set the phone with following setting:
    1) Incoming- pop.netvigator.com
    2) Outging- smtp.netvigator.com
    3) Treat it as POP account, and save
    4) Then iPhone may use SSL to verify the account, but it is not successful;
    5) Then other dialogue box come up, you need to confirm not to use SSL for verification; will repeat for sometime;
    6) You need to wait for a few minute to complete the varification process!!

    Wish you good luck!
