A send-only e-mail account on iPhone. Is that possible?

I have two accounts on my iPhone: Gmail and work (via VPN).
The Gmail account is managed via 3rd party app (Gmail app).
But the system won't let me send e-mails such as photos from the Camera Roll via this 3rd app automatically, so I have it on the Mail app also.
So every time that I have to check or reply my work's e-mails I enable VPN, launch Mail app, wait for the system to timeout checking the Gmail account (because the VPN won't let it reach the Gmail server), and then it checks the work account successfully. And that takes a long time (and uses cell data).
Can I prevent the Mail app to check every account that I have added to it? Or putting in another words, can I have a send-only e-mail account on the Mail app on iPhone?
Sorry, English is not my native language.
Thank you,
Rafael

I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong, but I would try setting up an e-mail account without an Incoming Mail Server set.
As long as you have your outgoing mail server details it will send e-mail.
If it doesn't allow you, maybe set up a dummy e-mail address that you don't use and enter the Incoming Mail server details for that one instead
So the two options are:
Outgoing Server (Gmail)
Incoming Server (blank)
or
Outgoing server (Gmail)
Incoming server (Gmail 2)

    i canot send or receive mail on my iPhone on gmail and roadrunner accounts what should i do??

    The only thing I can think of is that Verizon asked you to change your settings to the new servers without actually having set up your account there first.
    I would go back to them for resolution.   It's def not a phone issue.   Like I said, those settings work for me, but I've only been a VZ customer for about 6 months.    If you are a legacy client of theirs you might have been on an older email system that they are trying to retire.

  • Deleting a mail account on iPhone completely

    Deleting an IMAP mail account on iPhone doesn't actually delete it nor its messages, just hides them. In other words, if I delete te account and then re-enter all the same login details, the messages are right there without need to download. How can I truly delete the account so that I can start from scratch and download the messages from the server? Is there a way?

    I know but instead of showing the 1000 most recent e-mails it skips whole weeks, going back to 2011. It's really a mystery how this happened without any of my doing. Just to reiterate: on the computer there are all the messages perfectly showing up. On the iPhone only with big gaps. If I could completely delete the account with no trace, I could re-add that account with the same login details and it would force to download the 1000 most recent messages, just like when I first set up the phone.

  • My wife and I each have an Ipad and only one mail account. Both of us receive the same e-mails but when one of us deleates an e-mail it also deleates on the other Ipad. How can I stop this? I might delete an e-mail she wants to read. Thanks

    My wife and I each have an Ipad and use only one mail account. Both Ipads therefore get the same mail and when either one of us deleates an email it also deleates on the other Ipad and this can be a problem if one of us doesn't want that e-mail deleted. Obviously our Ipads are synced and I don't know how to correct this. Any advice ?

    If you both have the same email account, there's no setting on iPad you can use.  When a message is deleted, it's deleted from the mail account server, which will happen on both devices.

    Select a message, hold the move button, deselect the message while still holding the move button.
    A new window appears allowing you to move all messages to the trash.
    Bingo!

  • How do I add a new mailbox to a mail account on iphone?

    How do I add a new mailbox to a mail account on iphone?

    One thing that might help out.
    To add a folder or a mailbox to your existing account, you need to add it on your computer.
    Now, this will work and reflect to the iphone if you are using an imap or exchange account.
    If you are using a pop account, you will not be able to add a folder to an account on the iphone.
    Hope this helps.

  • I need a multiple message voice mail app for Iphone 4S that also provides an auto-attendant, e.g the caller can dial 1 for one of business's or 2 for the other. Each of these options will need to have a different voice mail greeting. Help please?

    There are no alternative voicemail apps - the core functionality of the phone can not be replaced.
    You'll have to look for an external service, that can then forward calls for each caller onto the correct phone.
    At our business we use Voipfone.co.uk which allows multiple phone lines to come into one VOIP account.

  • After upgrading to IOS 7, I can only transfer songs to my iPhone 5 that I bought on iTunes. Cannot xfer songs I burned from CD.

    After upgrading to IOS 7, I can only transfer songs to my iPhone 5 that I bought on iTunes. I cannot transfer songs I burned from CD. When I drag them to my phone in iTunes, my phone appears to be updating, but the songs don't show up there.
    I'm using IOS 7.1.2 and iTunes 11.3.0.54. WIndows 7.
    Thanks.

    This has worked for many folks according to the feedback I have gotten:
    Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

  • Why POP Mail Account on Iphone not synching for incoming mails

    I just setup my iphone mail account as a POP client to synch up with my corporate Outlook Mail.
    For the outgoing mail server I used cwmx.com and for incoming I used the hostname provided by IT support person , with username and password as I would use on my outlook client.
    No SSL used in our case.
    The setting went fine as I did not see any errors,
    but when I try to synch for new mails, it says checking and than says updated, but I don't see any mails coming in.
    The send mail works fine from this account.
    Can anyone help.

    I think what you mean is that you cannot have an email POP account on a laptop and on iphone look for the same messages on the incoming server.
    I mean exactly what I provided. A POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only. When a POP account is accessed with more than email client, the setting for removing messages from the server when downloaded needs to be off with both email clients used to access the account.
    And if accessed with more than one email client, you cannot have both email clients actively accessing the incoming mail server for new messages at or near the same time. If one email client checks the incoming mail server for new messages followed by another email client doing the same at or near the same time, the incoming mail server will lock the account's Inbox mailbox preventing the 2nd email client from accessing the account's Inbox mailbox and downloading new messages if any are available. This is a temporary lock and is due to a POP account being designed to be accessed with a single email client only.
    The same does not apply to an IMAP account which is designed to be accessed with more than one email client with multiple email clients being able to access server stored mailboxes at the same time.
    Please answer my question which was copied from my previous post and was provided first.
    *Since this is a POP account, what is your account setting with Outlook for removing messages from the server when downloaded?*
