Yikes.I was in a hurry to make that last post and didn't proof read before uploading. Under 'Accounts' in the settings (still in Google's gMail) you might want to Otherwise, you'll have to worry about filling up your gMail inbox, unless you want to have to manage two e-mail accounts, which you don't. You also want to select 'delete gMail's copy' when messages are accessed with POP.

Now go to the 'Forwarding and POP/IMAP' settings and check the box next to 'Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on.' If you don't do this, your iPhone will not be able to access your gMail account. It should work seamlessly with your e-mail account, just the way it was supposed to in the first place, and so far, knock on wood, I haven't gotten another of those annoying 'was not downloaded from the server' messages.

Now give it a try, and see if you can't send and receive e-mail from your iPhone, OUTSIDE of the Mediacom network. Set up a new eMail account, using the pre-programmed gMail settings. I set mine to also retain a copy of the mail in the inbox, that way I can still retrieve e-mail from my home computer. Set Mediacom to forward all incoming mail to your gMail account. Also, instead of just typing in your name in the name field, I would suggest typing in '(your name)'s iPhone' This is purely cosmetic, but it cuts down on any confusion from people who will be getting e-mails from you on your iPhone and don't recognize the gMail e-mail address, because gMail will send the email with 'From: Joe Cool's iPhone On Behalf Of Joe Cool.' After you have provided your Mediacom e-mail address and name, gMail will send you an e-mail to verify that you do own that account. This is so that if someone replies to an e-mail you have sent with your iPhone, the reply will be sent to your regular e-mail address, not the gMail address.

Here's what you do:ДЎ) In Google (gMail): Sign up for a free gMail account with Google.Д¬hange the settings in gMail (go to Settings, Accounts) and change the 'Send Mail as:' to your mediacom e-mail address. What I found is a very acceptable work around. After monkeying around for literally two days adjusting the POP settings to try to get it to work with my Mediacom mail account (mchsi), I gave up and went another route. I think I have finally found a solution to this problem.
