Cannot send email from yahoo account on iPhone 5

I just got an iPhone5 and I couldn't set up my Yahoo email as "yahoo"--it would not allow me to complete the process despot multiple attempts. I had to set it up as an "other" account. I can receive and read emails on my phone, but when I reply those messages will not send. They go to the outbox and an error message pops up that says" the email account has been rejected by the server" Does anyone have advice on either issue: setting up yahoo properly and/or sending email from phone?

outgoing mail server
SMTP - Yahoo! SMTP Server
primary server
Yahoo! SMTP server - ON
server port 465
That's what I have for my yahoo account.

Cannot send email from AOL account on iPhone

Went through this back in January after the operating sustem upgrade and Tiger's fix solved the problem, but is on longer working. I've also tried entering the information manually rather than through the AOL button on the add accounts page. Help!

razmee209 (and others in this community)... HELP!
I have the same issue - I can receive email on my iPhone, but cannot send messages.   Keep getting error message: (Cannot Send Mail - The user name or password for "SMTP:[email protected]" is incorrect
This issue occurred when I changed my AOL password.   I also updated my password on my iPhone.   After exploring this issue more deeply, it appears that my iPhone did not update my password for outgoing mail (as that are more "dots" in the password field for my outgoing server account, than for the incoming server passward that was just updated.
I am unable to change ANY of the information or settings in any of the outgoing mail server accounts - except only to toggle each account ON or OFF.   All other information is "greyed" out, and unavailable and inaccessible.
I know that if I could just change (or somehow sync) the outgoing password to match the new incoming password.
PLEASE HELP!!

Can't send email from .mac account on iPhone

I can no longer send from my .mac account. I get the error message on the phone "The connection to the outgoing server "smtp.mac.com" failed"".
This occurs both on edge and on WiFi. I have looked through other suggested fixes and have tried deleting the account on the phone and setting it up directly on the phone. I've also tried toggling the "sync mail account" setting in iTunes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Assuming you are using the Mail.app on your Mac, what are you using as the server port for .Mac's SMTP server?
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, enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting and if you are transferring your .Mac account settings from your Mac to the iPhone via the iTunes sync preferences for your iPhone, re-sync to transfer this change to the iPhone.
If the account was manually entered on the iPhone and you aren't syncing the account settings from your Mac, in the SMTP server field for your .Mac account preferences on the iPhone, add 587 to the server separated by a colon.
smtp.mac.com:587
This should take care of it.
My .Mac account is my primary account and I haven't had any problems sending messages with my .Mac account on any WiFi network or EDGE with this setting.

Cannot send email from icloud account from mac

cannot send email from icloud account from mac running 10.8.2

The SMTP server you are using with Wi-Fi would be the outgoing server of your internet service provider... this is likely why that's working.
SMTP servers specific to a ISP would not work on the 3G network. You would probably need another SMTP server. One from your cell provider?

I cannot send emails from my IPad and IPhone

I cannot send emails from my iPad or iPhone, but can receive them. I can send from my iMac using the same settings and network... Ideas?

What is your iOS version? Try deleting the account in Mail and setting it up again. Repeat in second device if successful/necessary.

Hi there,
It sounds like you have already done a few of the steps, but I would still recommend reviewing the troubleshooting process found in the article below.

I cannot send email from Mac

I cannot send email from my Mac Mail account the last few days. I called Cablevision and they stated that it's a problem with the latest Apple update. The SMTP connection fails. Any advice?

Mail: Troubleshooting sending & receiving email messages

How do I fix Mail in Snow Leopard where I cannot send emails from my account to another account I've set up in Mail, but the reverse works fine?

I have a problem with Mail in Snow Leopard in that I cannot set up two email accounts for myself and my wife with the same ISP and have them operate properly. I've set up the accounts in strict accordance with my ISP's instructions for setting up email accounts on Mac Mail but I cannot send an email from my account to my wife's without a drop-down message appearing that Mail 'cannot send the email from this server. Please edit the server list'. No amount of tweaking appears to work. Applecare consultants have so far been unable to get it to work and a recent visit to the local Genius Bar in the Apple Store was fruitless also. My ISP's help line was unable to solve the problem even with a supervisor level consultant. The ISP concluded it was some kind of 'bug' in Mail.
I could send emails from my wife's account to mine, but not vice versa; I could send emails to other addresees without any problem and I can send emails from my account to my wife's using the ISP's webmail.
Does anyone please have a solution to my problem? At the moment we're operating one account (mine) on my Macbook and my wife's is set up on her iPad2. As we prefer to use the Macbook for storage and (using Time Machine) for back-up of our data, the two accounts on separate machines is a nuisance.
Another factor is that I prefer to control when I download emails and set my preferences accordingly. One of the so-called 'fixes' that were tried wound up downloading emails regardless of settings, even after removing my wife's account; the matter was remedied only after I had removed all accounts form Mail and started afresh from scratch.

You'll have to pardon my ignorance of some computer terminology; I'm a retired manager and not a computer technician, hence my muddling up of client and server terminology.
Re your comment about Port 339: I did qualify this with (?). As I wrote, it all happened at lightining speed and the guy at the Genius Bar didn't bother explaining what he was doing. Port designation contained 3s and 9s to the best of my recollection.
That said, you seem to be spot on re setting up a 'dummy' client in Mail. I set it up as you suggested and I can send to and receive from this client without a problem. You appear to have identified the solution, notwithstanding the claims of the ISP's 'experts'.
The next problem I have now is sorting out my wife's mailbox that is so troublesome whenever I set it up on Mail.
All the other set-up advice to date yielded a similar result; inability to send from my account to her inbox. Perhaps deleting her details from the account altogether and setting them up again from scratch may be the solution and I shall try that in due course. The impediment that I have with this at the moment is that my ISP admits that it has 'a technical problem with its email servers' and some of its related web pages that prevent my doing this myself. I will have to go through the telephone 'help' line and ask the technician to set it up at their end on my instructions. This has some disadvantages in that I have to divulge the password to the account to the operator rather than keeping it anonymous by doing it on-line. You may have solved the problem, but until I can successfully sort out a working mailbox for my wife i cannot definitively say so.
Many thanks for your perseverance. You've made more sense than anyone else so far and that deserves some points, surely?

Failure sending email from MobileMe account on iPhone

I cannot send emails from my mobileme account on my iPhone, the following error appears: connection to the outgoing mail server 'smtp.me.com' failed.
I have my gmail account set up and this works fine, any ideas?
Thanks

One thing that might help out.
Try a reset by holding down the home button and power button at the same time until you see an apple logo.
If the reset does not work, one more thing to try.
Remove the account from the iphone by going to settings > mail, contacts calendars > your MobileMe account.
Scroll to the bottom and tap the delete account button.
Reset the iphone by using the 2 buttons again.
Now set the MobileMe account back up on the iphone.
Hope this helps.

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.

Cannot send email from 3 accounts Mac Pro

My brand new Mac Pro cannot send email using Gmail, Shaw, or iCloud. At times I can send a simple test message, other times I cannot send. It seems the more data in the email, it for sure cannot be sent. The sent messages get stuck in the Out Box. Full green lights, no red lights in the connection diagnostics window. Any help in this regard will be much appreciated.

thank you for your reply, I did this with the same problem. Turns out that I went to FAQ section and went to the "Sharing" section of "system preferences" and changed my computer name by removing all spaces and apostrophe where it lists my computer name under Mac Book Pro, and problem solved.

Cannot send emails from mac email address

Over the past 24hrs I am unable to send emails from my ibook and sporadically from my iphone. Please advice what the settings should be for SMTP and port. I think this might be the problem but I am unsure. I have a mac email address. I can send emails from my icloud account. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Wow, after research I can't believe what a problem BT is!???
This post by vanessa seems to have gelped many that could not send...
Just set up my macmail with the help of the BT guys after a year of struggling! Hopefully this could work for others for whom the emails will receive but NOT send....
Set up your 3rd party domain names via the mail relay system and confirmed via BT. Then try these settings.....
In your @btconnect.com email set its up using these:
incoming mail server: pop3.btconnect.com
username: the bt email
password: the bt email password you supplied
outgoing mail: we'll come to this!
on the drop down box next to Outgong mail server (SMTP) select 'edit SMTP server list'
press '+' button and add these details....
In the Account information tab:
Description: mail.btconnect.com
Server Name: mail.btconnect.com
In the advanced tab:
Select 'Use default ports'
Authentication: Password
username: the bt email
password: the bt email password you supplied
NOW The next bit, the 'second' server....
press '+' fro a new server add these details....
In the Account information tab:
Description: second server (or any name you want)
Server Name: mail.btconnect.com
In the advanced tab:
Select 'Use default ports'
Authentication: NONE!
Now on all your email addresses back in the accounts section, set the SMTP server to 'second server' (or whater you hae called it) NOT mail.btconnect.com and select Use only this server.
