How to configure O2 Ireland for a Samsung Galaxy (Android)
With this blog we will simply summarize how to set up O2 Ireland with POP and SMTP for your Samsung Galaxy (Android) in an easy to follow language.
What is O2 Ireland:
Telef\u00f3nica Ireland was a broadband and telecommunications provider in Ireland that traded under the O2 brand (typeset as O2). O2 Ireland was previously called Esat Digifone when it was owned by Esat Telecommunications (and Telenor) from 1997 to 2006. O2 Ireland became a subsidiary of Telef\u00f3nica in 2006, after its parent company O2 in the United Kingdom was purchased. In June 2013, Hutchison Whampoa announced it would acquire the Irish arm of O2 for \u20ac780m. O2 was merged into Hutchison Whampoa's subsidiary Three Ireland in March 2015.
