Connecting epad to o2 email settings

[Anonymous]

I have a Zenithink zt180 which somehow lost connection to its 'News & Weather" App and Gmail. Did a factory reset which lost me my o2 email connection, now I can't reset the server/ports settings with any combination: have tried (incoming)

Username (without '@o2.co.uk')

Password= password

Pop3 server  mail.o2.co.uk

Port   110

Security   None

Delete email from server   Never.

Cant get past this to set Outgoing settings (Smtp.o2.co.uk  Port 25)

Any help with this much appreciated.

Fairly sure the username has to be the complete o2 email address.

Also, smtp should all be lower case and do not tick "SSL".

Thanks for the quick response but my problem has got worse with every attempt to rectify it. I am now so tired of trying that I am likely to hurl this pad across the room and stamp on it. I turned on the Wifi to connect to my home router and it Scans... Connecting...Scans... Connecting, endlessly. Never actually connects. I need someone who uses a Zenithink to talk me through the process or I am done with it.

Cheers guys, I know you have tried.

Doesn't matter what machine it is - It's running android (2.2 from the factory) so it's the same as any other android tablet. You need to firstly long press on your wifi connection to your home hub and select "forget". Then reboot your wifi router & modem before scanning again. Check your password as everytime someone says its goes into a scan loop it's because of the wrong password. Capitals and lower case need to be correct and O's and zero's etc.

Forgive my stupidity, is the password you refer to here the same one as I have used to get onto this site? (I have been asked to use/invent about twenty passwords in the last three days and my mind is spinning). I rebooted the router as you said, (turned off/on again), have no modem, just a wireless dongle, and tried this password, with no result.

You need to enter the router password.

When you set up your router to transmit the wifi signal you would have to set a password. Some routers come preconfigured - if so the password will be on a sticker under the router. When you scan on the pad and it picks up a wifi hotspot, you need to enter the specific password for that hotspot or else you will get into a scan loop with the pad constantly trying to connect.....

I have no idea how to find out what that is?

See above (in case you missed it) I was typing at the same time as you....
