Configuring Optusnet.com.au

It is possible that the Mail app will find your email settings automatically and set up your account. Apply these steps first in order to find out if that is possible:

  1. Open Settings, then Mail and click Accounts.
  2. Tap Add Account, tap Other then tap Add Mail Account
  3. Enter your name (can be any name), your email address, password and a description for your account
  4. Click Next. The Mail app will try to find the email settings and complete your account setup. If the Mail app finds your e-mail parameter, tap Done to finish your setup.

If the Mail app couldn't automatically set up your account, then you will need to enter them manually. I think you may find the information below useful:

Tap Next, then follow these steps:

  1. Choose IMAP or POP If you aren't sure which one to choose, contact Optusnet.com.au
  2. Enter the required details (You might want to refer to the table above) for Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server. Then tap Next
  3. If your e-mail setup is correct, click Save to complete . If the email settings are incorrect, the Mail app will ask you to edit the configuration.
  4. If you still can't set up your account, or save your e-mail settings, contact your e-mail provider.
