Replying to an email from iPhone - "cannot send as address is invalid"

This seems to have started happening only recently. When an email comes in on my iPhone and I need to respond, I hit reply, type my text and when I hit send, the warning comes up "Cannot send because email address is invalid." Has anyone else had this problem or has a solution? Really thwarts the email aspect of the iPhone.
Much thanks in advance for anyone's help.

this is happening only with my gmail account...i hope it's a gmail problem.still waiting for the fix.
cheers

TS3276 I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails. This just started happening. I have an iPhone and I can send emails from my phone fine. It's just not working on my Macbook. Every time I try to send an email it goes straight to my outbox. Can anyone

I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails. This just started happening. I have an iPhone and I can send emails from my phone fine. It's just not working on my Macbook. Every time I try to send an email it goes straight to my outbox. Can anyone help?

Thank you for heading me in the right direction. I reset my Mail account for Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net:(customer ID)@att.net (instead of smtp.att.yahoo.com, per Apple's online troubleshooting information). I'm not sure what "(Offline)" means when it appears at the end of my Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)?? In the Advanced box I clicked on "Use custom port: 465" and checked "Use Secure Sockets Layer." Authentication: Password; I have correct User Name and Password put in. After doing all this, when I try to send emails again today, they go directly to the Outbox and sit there.
What's curious is that my first sent email this morning did go out using the Outgoing Mail Server, smtp.att.yahoo.com: (customer ID)@att.net(Offline) but subsequent emails I tried to send with this server were rejected with the message: "Cannot send message using the server smtp.att.yahoo.com (etc.). The SMTP server doesn't support TLS(SSL) on port 587. Verify your account settings and try again." That's when I tried resetting my Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net (etc.), as mentioned above, and was unsuccessful in sending out any further emails. I guess my next step is to contact my email service provider, AT&T, and see if they can help me. Thanks, again, for taking the time to respond and for giving me your input! Much appreciated!

HT1430 Cannot send email from iPhone 4S ..it keeps saying smpt password is incorrect but it is correct and I receive email no problem

Cannot send email from iPhone...keeps saying smpt password is incorrect but it is correct.. I recieve email no problem

On my own, I discovered the following, which worked (one responder got the solution part correct for Google): For Yahoo, where I just use a standard login with no extra verification, I had to go into Yahoo and change my password. Once I did this, the new iPhone had no problem registering accepting my Yahoo account. I WAS, however, using the correct password and user name all along, for those who did not think that was the case. The problem is on the iPhone software side. For Google, I use a two step verification, and for that, one must go to Google Mail and obtain a specific, unique password, that is designed to work only on iPhones. Hope this helps anyone else with this dilemma.

TS3899 Cannot send email from iPhone. Outgoing settings are correct. Checked against iPad setting which are OK and can send mail OK.

Cannot send email from iPhone. Outgoing settings are correct. Checked them against iPad settings which are OK and can send mail. What can I do?

For IOS7.02
The user name and password are in two places. Make sure they are correct in both locations.
Settings>>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>>your email>>
First spot is here under INCOMING MAIL SERVER
Below this is OUTGOING MAIL SERVER
Select: SMTP smtp.comcast.net>> PRIMARY SERVER :smtp.comcast.net>>second location of user name and password
Here is the second place that the user name and password must be checked.
I had changed my password in the first spot, but not the second spot. I had been receiving the same error message. This fixed my problem.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

When I send email from iphone, mail on my mac crashes every time.

The latest in a string of issues I've had with Mountain Lion, and even more with Lion. This is the latest and most frustrating.
Eveytime I send an email from iphone or ipad, mail on my macbook pro crashes. This happens everytime!
Also, Safari is unusable as keeps crashing and hardly ever loads properly so moved to Chrome which works perfectly.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

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.

I cannot send email from my ipad. Getting address is rejected from server message.

I cannot send email from my ipad. Getting address is rejected from server message.

Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

Well yes, you probably will have problems with your phone because a 'contract free' phone is NOT the same as a fully unlocked iPhone.
This is a user forum, so nobody here can really help you. As Sprint is your carrier in the US, then you need to contact them first. They are the only ones who can help you.

Mail app crashes when receiving email from a particular sender

HI All,
Here is a problem I'm facing, Mail App crashes while receiving email from a particular sender. I'm testing our new Email Hosting solution "Rackspace" and it works fine with all other Email clients or on deveices (Android, Windows Phone & Blackbarry) but on Iphone 4s (IOS 6.1.4, i guess) it crashes the Mail App.
The email I'm using is sending over to an email at ttv-asia.com domain. The user of ttv-asia.com is based in China and just to see if the problem is with the Iphone, I've tested the Iphone's Mail App in Hong Kong and it works normal.
So now... Im confused and have no Idea on how ro fix this.

Sorted, it seems that livemail configured for exchange and having Google premier for exchange, results in the mail app on the iPhone crashing, when selecting an email in the Google exchange mail box, then calling up the folders , it crashes. switched off livemail mail, worked fine.
Weird.

When I forward or reply to the email from Mail, the receiver gets it as multiple attachments with no content in the mail., When I forward or reply to the email from Mail, the receiver gets it as multiple attachments with no content in the mail.

When I forward or reply to the email from Mail, the receiver gets it as multiple attachments with no content in the mail., When I forward or reply to the email from Mail, the receiver gets it as multiple attachments with no content in the mail.

That's probably because the message is in HTML format. Send the reply as plain text.

Some emails from a particular sender causing Outlook 2010 to hang, task manager shows memory use spikes

Posting this to the Exchange forum because I'm hoping there's a server-side solution.
SOME emails received from an external sender (gmail.com address, not sure the mail client) are causing Outlook 2010 to hang when trying to open the email. Outlook becomes non-responsive when viewing the email through the preview pane or by double-clicking
the email. If I open Task Manager I see that the outlook.exe process memory use starts increasing very quickly. As far as I know the only resolution is to end the task and re-open Outlook (and avoid that email).
I've found several excellent threads on these same symptoms, but there seems to be a variety of causes. I've tried a bunch of things so far:
- Tried opening from another system on our network running Outlook 2010, same issue.
- Tried opening from OWA, opens fine.
- Tried exporting the email to a PST, then opening from a completely different system outside of our network, but still running Outlook 2010, same issue.
- Tried exporting the email to a PST then opening from a completely different system outside of our network, running Outlook 2013, email opens fine.
- Tried setting Outlook to open all emails as PLAIN TEXT, opens fine.
Systems are running the latest Outlook 2010 SP and patches, and running a variety of OS's. Only common denominator seems to be Outlook 2010.
I was hoping to find a way to convert incoming emails from this sender to open as Plain Text using a Hub Transport rule, but cannot find a way to do it.
Unfortunately I have no control over the sender, so don't know what could be triggering the problem.
Can anyone advise on a possible solution? Any way to someone convert emails from a particular sender to Plain Text automatically?

Either you inform the sender to configure in sender's outlook to send only to you in plain text please check this
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/outlook-help/change-the-message-format-to-html-rich-text-or-plain-text-HA101992313.aspx
Or
Call a macro in your outlook example below. Please check
this for details
Dim msg As MailItem
For Each msg In myNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items
If msg.Unread = True And _
msg.SenderName = "Linda Cooper" Then
Item.BodyFormat = olFormatPlain
Else
' Message doesn't meet criteria.
End If
Thanks,
MAS

Why am I not getting email from one particular sender? .

Hi all,
Hope you can help because I am stumped. A few days after installing Mountain Lion (not that I think that necessarily has anything to do with it), I stopped receiving email from a particular sender. The email from this person is very important, so I've been trying to figure out what's going on. He is in my Contact list. I have received email from his successfully for months. We did some testing yesterday. I think the email is coming in, then being deleted immediately. I hear a little ding in the background when he sends me something, but it doesn't make it into any of my inboxes.
I have temporarily disabled junk mail filtering. I also can't find a setting that indicates to delete anything automatically. I am at a loss.
Any ideas?
Thanks so much!
Sharon

Go to Mail Preferences, and click the "Rules" icon. Make sure there are no rules that move these messages to another folder (you can just uncheck the rules to deactivate them).
Also try searching for the sender's email address to see if it turns up - be sure to click "All" in the mailbox row after typing his address in the search box.
And depending on what email service you use, you may want to check to make sure there are no "rules" or "filters" in the web site - for instance if you use gmail, you can set up filters in gmail that "archive" a message before Apple mail ever sees it - the mail is still there, you just wouldn't see it in your inbox. The only way to fix it is to log in through the gmail web site.
Another possibility is that you accidentally turned on "threaded" mail view, which is extremely confusing if you don't expect it. Instead of grouping by date, the messages will be grouped by subject line - and if the person sending this message is replying to an old message of yours, it will continually group those new messages together with the old ones. Click the "View" menu, and check to see if the "Organize by conversations" option is turned on or off. Or maybe it's even simpler - maybe your mail is no longer sorted by date - what does it say at the top of the list of messages?
Of course there's alwys the possibility that he has the wrong email address in his contacts, so keeps sending to the wrong address over and over again. He should try manually typing your full email address, and not accepting the "autofilled" suggestion.

When I reply to an email it changes the 'sender'

When I REPLY to an email, my reply is being sent from my default sender address instead of the account the message is being sent to.
I have several email address which I use daily and this has never happened until the last week. I have checked all my identity settings and they each correctly detail the individual emails.
I am able to change the sending address before hitting send but this is besides the point. I have spent a week sending from the wrong email address before I realised the problem was occurring.
This is an urgent problem for me as I have different businesses run on the same Thunderbird account.
Thank you.

It's likely that the message isn't really sent twice, but appears in your Sent folder twice because you have instructed Thunderbird to place a copy in your Sent folder and the same setting also exist in the configuration of your email provider, e.g Hotmail, Outlook, etc.
In Thunderbird check Tools > Account Settings > Copies & Folders > Place a copy in:
It's likely that setting is turned on. You can try switching it off and then send a test message to yourself and see if it shows up in the sent folder anyway, if so it's because your email provider is keeping copies of your sent messages for you.
It's up to you which setting you want to keep turned on, the one in Thunderbird or the one for your email provider.
