3GS cannot send mail

Just in the last couple of days I find that I cannot send mail. I compose and when I hit send it just disappears. No attempt at sending is made. It does not save a draft or try to connect. It does not end up in my Outbox either. The BCC copies never arrive. I have checked and my software is up to date. I have tried to delete all of the accounts and readd them one at a time. No luck. The last I can see that I have sent messages would be from a few days ago. The mail is downloading but seems sluggish all around.
Any clues?
thanks
Terri

I had to reset my Network connections in the General Preferences and it fixed the problem. I have no idea how it messed up in the first place, but the reset worked.

  • 3GS 3.0.1 - Cannot send mail, You did not specify any recipient

    Whenever I send a message from iPhone with MobileMe account and then resync the account with server (Push is off), the very same message, already sent with success, appears in Outgoing folder and error pops up saying:
    *Cannot send mail, You did not specify any recipient*
    See the picture below:
    http://gitarzysta.com/iphone/error1.jpg
    It cannot be deleted, either - error message pops up saying: *Unable to move message*
    http://gitarzysta.com/iphone/error2.jpg
    Important: it was sent and received successfully. It is just either iPhone, MobileMe or both that have problems to sync correctly.
    On my Mac that I sync with this MobileMe account all is fine.
    What can be wrong? There was an old topic here, from 2008, where several users of 3G had exactly the same issue, but no root cause or solution was provided.
    Thanks!

    Try deleting and manually recreating the account on your iPhone.
    If you transferred the account settings from your Mac via the iTunes sync process - selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, deselect this for your iPhone sync preferences followed by selecting Apply before doing so.

  • Since upgrade to iOS 7 Email error on over 100KB emails "Cannot Send Mail  The message was rejected by the server because it is too large." Connecting to Exchange via Activesync

    Hi,
    Following the upgrade to iOS 7.0.3 on all our iPhone and iPad devices, it has been identified that when sending emails around 100KB in size and over an error message appears on the device stating “Cannot Send Mail  The message was rejected by the server because it is too large.” See error message below. The send/receive limit is over 10MB so this is not the issue.
    We are in an Exchange Environment using Microsoft Activesync. This issue is not evident in iOS 6. This has been tested on an iPhone 3GS running version iOS 6.1.3. We have been unable to repeat the issues seen on iOS 7 on the older OS. It is not possible to roll back to the older operating system as Apple are no longer signing the software.
    We use Microsoft Active Sync to connect to our Exchange servers through a TMG. The issue is very inconsistent, some identical emails go through, some fail. This is not an issue with the send/receive limit as this is over 10MB. The error message when it fails on the TMG is Status: 413 Request Entity Too Large, which we believe is from IIS on the CAS server.
    Does anyone have any suggest course of actions to take?
    Many Thanks

    This resolution have to attend at the server not with the ios device. My employer's mail administrator reject me to correct it from the server. As his concern is, if ither ios devices works why don't mine? So I am helpless than changing my iphone. It works fine for early versions of ios and with androids. And also one of my friends iphone4 with ios 7 (similar as mine) works too. So I guess it's something wrong with my iPhones settings. But basic question I cannot understand is it works in my phone before this ios7 upgrading. And currently working with my yahoo account too. Favourable reply expected.

  • "Cannot Send Mail" App has the smtp address wrong.

    "Cannot Send Mail" - No password provided for [email protected]
    The account is setup properly in settings as "SMTP.Comcast.net"

    Any help?

    Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>your account>Outgoing mail Server SMTP>Primary Server then turn Server ON and fill in both User Name +Password under Outgoing Mail Server.

  • Cannot send mail after 3.1.3

    I bought a 3gs 16 giga on november and everything was ok (mail, battery, etc.) After upgrade to 3.1.3 I cannot send mail anymore and battery keeps overheating even when it sleeps. I just restored as a new phone with iTunes. No way. Someone can help (or suggests me how to come back to previous firmware)?
    thanks

  • Cannot Send Mail

    I just tried sending a email from my iphone this morning and I get the message "Cannot Send Mail, the sender address was invalid"
    For the past 3 months everything has been fine and mail has been working perfectly. I haven't changed any of the settings at all. However, I did notice this morning that when I logged into my Gmail account online that they've changed they're layout. Seems like quite the coincidence that Google changed their layout and all of a sudden I can't send mail on the phone.
    If anybody else is having this problem, or knows of how to resolve it, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

    The user in this thread is having the same issue. I am not having any problems sending mail from my gmail account after the update.

  • We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is: Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

    About ~20 hours later, this ended up solving itself.

  • TS3276 Cannot send mail from my iPad...."user name and or password is incorrect"......mail can be sent from my iPhone

    Why do I get the message   "Cannot send mail, the user name and or password for my email outgoing server is incorrect"?  I use the same account, etc. on my iPhone and haven't any trouble sending mail.

    If your email requires a password for the SMTP server you can set it up in the settings in the General mail setup. Some i.e Gmail require a password for SMTP.
    Otherwise you will probably get better answers in the iPad forum.

  • Cannot Send Mail from my iPhone 4s

    I am no longer able to send out replies or new emails from my phone, this is very recent and I have tried everything I know of.. But I am not THAT tech-savvy.
    So, anyways, when I go to send an email or reply to one, I get a pop-up box that says "Cannot Send Mail - The username or password for "said"-hotmail account is incorrect." So then I go to the settings enter my correct password for my hotmail account, it accepts it, and try again. Same pop-box appears, even though my password and username are both correct.  I know that they are correct because I am able to receive email with no problems at all.
    Is this a fixable problem or should I call Apple or take my phone in directly to them and have one of the techs look at it ?
    Thanks;
    Odyssy

    Problems with sending mail is rooted in the settings for the SMTP server. There are places in this that say the username and password are optional, but normally are required by many email providers. Go back into the SMTP server settings and check all of the areas. I also agree with Doctor9fan to check your SSL settings. If you cannot get it to work like this, then remove the account from the device and add it back. As you complete the creation, make sure the account verifies. You can also check the Microsoft site to make sure settings are correct for Hotmail.

  • Cannot send mail from my ipad

    I cannot send mails from my ipad, I have checked settings with my mail server and they tell me that everything is OK, they don't know what may be causing the problem, any ideas?

    TBS2.
    There is no way for anyone to know if your problem is identical to the problem reported by maria_diaz. She didn't mention anything about getting the "relaying" message. I suggest you start a new question that gives a good title to a specific problem. Then in the body of the thread describe the problem in detail, tell us what steps you have tried so far to correct the problem, what happened, and what error messages you received.

  • Cannot send mail from any mail account

    I have a Mac Mini, late 2014 model, running OS X Yosemite version 10.10.2.   I have constant difficulty sending mail from any of my mail accounts; these are iCloud, Googlemail, Yahoo and a personal one which uses 123-reg.co.uk.  I am currently located in Greece, but have been having trouble for ages, even in the UK.  I can receive mail, but I don't seem able to send it.  Error message is usually simply cannot send mail using this server, select a different server.  However, when connection doctor is run, all servers appear to be connected and I am logged in.  Any ideas please?
