Cant send Email when using WIFI

My primary internet connection is my G4 and a 24.4K dial up. I bought a Dual USB port iBook with 10.4.11 to take to the local library download large files I am sometimes sent.
The iBook connects normally on the WIFI, I can browse and work web sites. I can also down load and read my mail with no problems. Today was the first time I have tried to send email from the iBook on WIFI. The connection to the SMTP server failed. I got a message that said the Greeting sent by the SMTP server was not proper.
With the same iBook on my 24.4K dial up, I can send and receive email normally. I am also using Firefox and Thunderbird.
Is there something I may have missed in set up for the WIFI outgoing email.
Thank You
Paul

Bounce is when you try to send an email by connecting to their servers when not connected to their network. Many ISPs do not allow you to send unless you are connected to their network directly. That sounds like what is happening here, using the webmail is a good workaround for that.
PS, sorry for the delay on the reply, moving is NO fun! Glad to see you found a way around!

  • Trouble sending email when on Wifi.

    Can't send email when on Wifi, but can send when on 4G or maybe 3G - I forget. Can receive emails fine on both.  To further confuse things I have three email accounts on my phone, two of them have no trouble sending or receiving when on either wifi or 4G.. I've checked and compared settings dozens of time.
    I have a private hosted email account (not sure if that is the right word) But I don't have google, AOL, or something like that..
    Thanks

    "But wouldn't I be using the same outgoing mail server if I was wifi or 4G?"
         Yes it would be the same. Maybe I'm too tired to figure this out.
    The only other thing that comes to mind is that your wifi router's firewall may be blocking that port. But if that were the case, your PC or Mac wouldn't be able to send mail either.

  • It's happening again...trouble sending email when using 3G

    I had this problem in the past...probably over a year ago and it seemed to resolve itself on its own. Cox is my isp so I'm sure that has something to do with it.
    when trying to send email over wifi from home, it's great. But switching to 3G, out of the house, I seem to have problems. I get the message "The sender address is not valid". Now the weird part is if I go into settings and turn on SSL, it MIGHT send after that...but it doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes, I'll turn SSL on...then go back and turn it off again and mail will send. Then sometimes, neither works. Is this a known issue?
    I recently upgraded to 3.0 on a 3G. That's when the problem came back.

    I deleted MobileMe account on my iPhone and after thet add once again.

  • Why cant I send emails, or open folders, from my Outlook email when using ipad. My Outlook is functioning normally when accessed from laptop.

    Why am I unable to send emails or open folders from my Outlook email when using my iPad?  My Outlook is functioning normally when accessed from my laptop.  This problem has been going on for three days now - everything was functioning normally before. I have looked at the standard troubleshooting suggestions provided by Apple, but they do not appear to cover this eventuality.  I should be most grateful for any help.

    Try first to Clear your cache from : Tools > Options > Advanced > Network, Clear Now button.

  • HT4979 why can I not send email when away from my home wifi? Am able to receive messages OK, and outgoing mailserver is correct?

    Why am I unable to send email when away from my home wifi ? I am able to receive mail OK, and have double- checked the outgoing server which is correct. This problem is consistent with my Macbook Pro, iPhone, and iPad2.
    Attempts to send messages results in them sitting in the Outbox and never- ending 'sending message' displayed.
    I am able to send using my   me.com  server.
    Home service provider is Cogeco.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • My iPhone will not send emails when away from my home wifi

    my iphone will not send emails when away from home wifi any advice

    Hey craggee,
    Thanks for the question. This is usually do to a limitation by your ISP/email provider:
    If you are only able to use your email account while connected to your home network, this may be a limitation put in place by your email service provider. For further support, please contact your email service provider directly.

  • The problem is with the new operating system  and sending photo via email when used in my iPad.   From photo I selected 3 photos to send via email. I choose the upload key and choose to send by email. Typing text on the email is very slow.

    The problem is with the new operating system  and sending photo via email when used in my iPad.
    From photo I selected 3 photos to send via email. I choose the upload key and choose to send by email. Typing text on the email is very slow. This is solved by saving the email as a draft and opening the email again from mail.
    Can you amend he system to allow emails to be sent from photo as previously.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

    You don't give enough information to do more than discuss the issue in general terms.  
    You should be able to read your email wherever you can get an internet connection.
    To send email, it depends on the email provider you are using.  Gmail and other web based mail should not have any issues.  However, if you are attempting to use an account that uses your ISP's mail servers, you will probably not be able to send mail.  You may want to check with your ISP in that case, to see if they offer webmail.  
    Hope this may have answered your question.

  • I cant send emails from my contacts

    When I go to my email and click my contacts it says no contact found or something to that effect. I dont have contacts in my contact list. Also I cant send emails to anyone? HELP

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, please '''Tag''' this thread as being for Thunderbird in the right-hand column of this page. This question currently is in the Firefox queue for answers.

  • Cannot send email when clicking lonk on web page

    I cannot send email when clicking link on web page. 
    When I would click the link to send via email I was being directed to hotmail to open new account.
    Today the tech tried to assist me and completely messed up my email capabilities by setting up
    windows live account.
    I am thoroughly disgusted with FIOS internet services..Every time I've called them in the past month problem has been with someone else whose portal services they are using.
    I cannot send emails because all my contact information cannot be moved.
    I'm paying for FIOS internet service that is almost non existent.
    THe VZ in home agent doesn't work nor does the FIOS information site.
    My next move is to get rid of FIOS.
    They create more problems then they solve with me.

    If I understand your problem correctly, you are having trouble when clicking on a MailTo link on any webpage? What loads when you click this type of link is a setting in your browser. If you tell us what browser you are using, we can try to direct you to the setting.

  • Why i cant send itunes gift using my credit card?

    Why i cant send itunes gift using my credit card?

    What happens when you try to send a gift ? If you are getting an error message then what does it say ?
    If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support when trying to send it then to do so (these are user-to-user forums) :
    - go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww
    - click on your country's flag
    - click on the Contact Support at the bottom of the left-hand column
    - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    - then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    If it's a different problem ... ?
