Hi @s137238oscar,

Welcome to the Community! 

Kindly try to use the following settings below:
 
Incoming Mail Server: mail.tpg.com.au  
Incoming Mail Server Port (POP3): 110
 
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) : mail.tpg.com.au
Outgoing Mail Server Port (POP3) : 25
 
Username:   Your TPG Account Username
Password:  Your TPG Account Password

For your iPhone, please check on this link: Setting up TPG Email on iPhone

Please let us know how it goes. 

Cheers!

Hi @s137238oscar The TPG POP settings on my iPhone running iOS 12 use inbound port 995 and outbound port 587, give them a try if you still have problems. 'mail.tpg.com.au' for in and out servers.

I guess I didn't explain myself properly, I have already installed Tpg mail on my iphone running ios 12, but I'm trying to import it to Gmail, I have followed the same procedure but Gmail only shows the option of IMAP server, I have been succesful installing it using Safari, but when I check my iphone the internet app doesn't sync with my iphone. This is the information from Gmail Google:

Oscar Rodas <s137238oscar@tpg.com.au>

Mail is sent through: smtp.tpg.com.au

Secured connection on port 587 using TLS

But I think is a Tpg problem because when I try to import it to Outlook it comes with the same error: unable to connect to server account is not IMAP.

Hi @s137238oscar

Can you show us a picture of your Gmail where IMAP is the only option?

I think the problem is you're trying to setup a POP3 in Gmail app but incorrectly chose IMAP instead.

[s137238oscar]

Hi, these are some photos of the setup process, as you can see the word POP is nowhere  to be seen or chosen, only IMAP, the same goes with outlook, I do all the process but at the end it says that the account is not IMAP

Hi @s137238oscar Your TPG email account supports POP only not IMAP therein lies your problem.

[s137238oscar]

Yes, I understand, but as I already explained I was able to integrate my account using the Safari browser, and I thought I should be able to do it on my iphone.

It looks like the only solution is to get the paid IMAP Tpg mail version which is $40 a year this is the link: https://www.tpg.com.au/products_services/imap.php

Hi @s137238oscar I've also got a tpg and gmail account on my iPhone and I can't see how they can be combined using the default email client in iOS, they have to be treated as seperate inboxes etc.
