Can't send email from my iPhone...

I am having problems sending email from my iPhone via my ISP and the ISP at work. I can send email through my personal domain from these places using my Mac laptop but not via the iPhone.
Settings for the ISP should be SSL Off for both directions [incoming/outgoing] Authentication: Password and a strange config. for username:
username+mydomain.com not just username and with the + symbol and not the @ I have entered the address correctly and I get Cannot Send Mail
Sending contents of the message to the server failed.
I have also tried:
mail.mydomain.com:567 and :2525 and :465 and all return similar errors
I should mention that I'm able to send mail to the phone and retrieve it successfully but not send from it.
I've tried changing the Uses SSL for Outgoing and still no love. I have verified with my ISP that everything is correct and yet I am still unable to send email from the iPhone.
Any suggestions or troubleshooting tips are greatly appreciated. My ISP is Site5 as well.

Yeah, I read the Apple Tech Doc where it described how to add the port number so I tried 587, 465 and 2525 at the request of my hosting company's Forum userbase. All suggestions were attempted including converting the account on Site5 to IMAP and all tests resulted in no mail being sent and a cryptic error message with no useful details as to why the mail was not able to be delivered [like an error code or something useful]. I too am hoping that Apple says or does something about this in the near future.
Usernames for my ISP must be formatted like so:
username+domain.com
I'm not sure if that's part of the problem but I've been successful at creating accounts for multiple mail clients including GyazMail for Mac, Thunderbird and several other mail clients but for the life of me, I can't get the iPhone to send a single bit of information via SMTP.
Any assistance or news on this front would be greatly appreciated.

Can not send email from Mac, iPhone, or iPad using mail using iCloud.

I can send email from the icloud web page but I get error messages that the icloud outgoing server is not recongized when I send email from my iphone, ipad and Mac mail. I can receive icloud email okay on all devices. I have manully setup a icloud server per instructions on icloud support page for mail's outgoing server name. It still is not recongized.

I found a work around that works. Got to Settings...Icloud....account......advanced....outgoing mail server.....
Add an "other" server.
Host Name p01-smtp.mail.me.com
Put in your me.com email address as username and your Apple ID password
SSL is on
Authentication is password
Server port 587
This worked for me.....I will use this until the bug is fixed. Don't make this server your primary. Leave it in "on" status in the other category.
Good luck

I can not send email from my iPhone or iPad its goes out from the iMac ok. I get SMTP is incorrect. any suggestions?

Having problems sending email from my iphone and ipad. Im getting a SMTP is incorrect error. Has anyone had this problem?
Spent 3 hours with internet carrier still not resolved. Everything is fine on the imac.

What is the error message provided if any?
If the email account is provided by your ISP, does your ISP have an authenticated SMTP server?
Are you unable to send email with the account using your iPhone or iPad when connected to the same wi-fi network or internet connection as your Mac with your ISP?

I can't send email from my iphone 4

I can receive e-mail, but when I try to send I get the message "smtp.pitmanassociates.com" failed. Any help/suggestions would be gratefully received.

Contact your email provider and confirm the settings for their outgoing SMTP server (host name, whether or not it requires SSL to be set to On, server port, etc.).

Hi there, suddenly I can't send email from my iphone. I use mac mail, have deleted it, restored it, done a sync to my mac book, read endless help paged and still get the message *unable to connect to smtp.me.mail . Some one please help!!!

Does anyone know why my mac/me mail would suddenly stop sending mail? Happend a few weeks back since the software update and now won't send a thing. LIke I said I deleted the acount, set it up again, did a sync to my mac book, checked settings again and still it wont send mail. Received fine.
I've looked through the threads but cant find one for me/mac mail on the iphone with same problem

I spoke with Apple Support this morning and they believe anything MobileMe related is due to the conversion over to iCloud that's taking place.
As for other email clients, check with your host to see if settings have changed on their end. I use inmotionhosting.com and over the weekend the updated their outgoing requirements so that a password authentication is now needed.
Hope that helps get some on the right path to resolving their issues!

I can not send email from my iPhone 3g using me dot com. Can someone help?

I have had my iPhone 3g for 2 weeks now I believe and in this time have received tons of e mails but when I try to reply or send a new e mail I get the message "The connection to the outgoing server "smtp.mac.com" failed."
I don't see why since my wifi is connected and does everything else, like surf the web, download updates to apps and receive e mail.
Can someone help me figure this out? I also just purchased an iPod touch which will be using wifi only so I'm scared that it too will have the same problem

I have a 1st gen iPhone that I just updated the software to 2.0.2
Now whenever I press the mail icon it goes to the mail app for about 4 seconds, does nothing, no loading of folders, old messages, nothing.
Then it reverts back to the home screen. Tried restarting, haven't tried restoring, thought I'd look here first.
Anyone???

I can't send emails from iPhone until I connect to my wifi! I am with bigpond and have a bigpond email address. Can anyone help me?

I can't send emails from iPhone until I connect to my wifi at home. I am with bigpond and have a bigpond email address. Can anyone help me?

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

TS3899 I still can not send email from my ipad but iPhone works on those accounts

I still can not send email from my .mac account or a .comcast.net from my ipad. I how 2 people so far that has brought to my attention. We have exchange accounts setup on the ipads for work. I compare the settings from iPad to iPhone from my view it appears identical. I am looking at an iPad 2 and a Mini.
I turned on and off the ipads and nothing really changed. The emails come into those accounts.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

When you say you can't send...as in they never get the email? Does the email appear to send? Error message? When?
It may be more than one iPad that has a problem....

On 3G we cannot send emails from either our iPhones or iPad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all. Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Email account. What is causing this and what do we need to do to resolve it?

On 3G we cannot send Business emails from either our iPhones or Ipad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all. Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Account using both 3G and WiFi.
We bought the iPhones and Ipad so that we could send emails while we are out of the Office, but we are not able to do this unless we can find a WiFi connection. Incoming emails are fine. We use IMAP, for Business emails just incase this is relevant and I know that Hotmail is POP3.
Our technical IT knowledge is not great, so we look forward to your suggestions as to how to resolve this.

Contact whomever supports the email account and get the correct Outgoing email server settings from them.

Can not send email from .mac account from the iPhone

I'm having problems sending email from my iPhone from my .Mac Account and says the outgoing server timed out. Any Suggestions?

This error message indicates you are not using the correct server port for .Mac's SMTP server.
Did you transfer the account settings from your Mac to the iPhone automatically via the iTunes sync process or did you manually create your .Mac account on the iPhone?
If the former, go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP Server selection, select the Server Settings button below for .Mac's SMTP server.
If 25 is available in the Server Port field, enter 587 in place of 25 and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting and then re-sync your iPhone making sure your .Mac account is selected for account settings to be transferred to the iPhone.

How can I send email from my domain from my iPhone using Gmail

I want to send email from my iPhone using Gmail/Exchange but I want my emails to come from my own domain.
I've tried a few different methods but my email ends up crashing after a couple days.
Is there a simplified process to solve this annoyance?
Thanks in advance

How can i send email from a custom domain connected to gmail on iphone?

Hi there,
I am trying to add a gmail account to my iphone 5S which i have added a custom godaddy email to through pop3 but when i add the gmail account i cant send from the custom domain email.
lets say the account is [email protected] with a [email protected] email attached to it, is there a way of sending emails from my iphone from this address?
I have tried to find other guides but cannot seem to.
thanks in advance

Look in the JavaMail forum on how to create Mime format emails. This allows you to use HTML instead of plain text.

Cannot send email from an iPhone to a Outlook group.

Hi,
My question is simple and I'd like an exactly same answer : Can iPhone users send emails from their iPhone's to one or more groups created in Outlook?
This is my situation: our organization is using iPhone to provide email, calendar, contact, task etc. to some of their employees. We are using Airwatch MDM Agent on user's iPhone because we have an Airwatch server in place. I have an user and she has an iPhone 5 and she has created some groups in Outlook but these groups are not reflected in her Contacts in the iPhone. I have update her phone with the latest update, although I was almost sure that this was not the issue, then I've found some interesting posts on internet saying that this was a known problem for the users with the previous iOS but I thought this might has been corrected with the iOS, apparently not.
Also I've tried ''the trick'' that is posted on several forums with the iCloud but neither so it's working. I am looking for a straight answer, if this works or not on iPhone's?
Thanks,
Sebastian.

There indeed ARE apps in the app store that will do what you want. Just search and find the one that best fits your needs.
