After upgrading to ios5 cannot send email

We cannot send email after upgrading to iOS 5

I tried deleted and adding and it didn't work, but I found a solution that did work.
There are several threads discussing this issue. I tried many suggested solutions without success until one finally worked and I'm sharing it in every thread.
First, here is my hardware/software situation, if your's is diff, then the fix I found might not work.
iPhone 4 upgraded to iOS 5.  IMAP email wouldn't SEND
Fix:
Go into setting>mail>your account>Outgoing mail Server SMTP>Primary Server then turn Server ON and fill in both User Name + Password under Outgoing Mail Server.
It seems that in previous versions of iOS, you didn't need to enter your username and password in the outgoing mail server settings, but in iOS 5, IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
Thanks to worapoj for being the first (i saw) to post this simple fix.

    BTW. I have seen posts suggesting age of Mac has an affect. Mine is MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012)
    The mail I am having problems send is Exchange and google mail. The google client I re-installed and this had no affect.

  • After I updated my iphone 4 to ios5 I cannot send emails

    I cannot send emails after I updated my iPhone 4 to ios5.  I can get them I just cant send them.  I use comcast account.  HELP!!  Also safari is running REALLY slow.

    I had this issue and this was what worked for me, I was using the "hotmail" option though.
    1. go to settings
    2. go to mail, contacts, calendars
    3.delete your email from device
    4. click "add account"
    5. there should be different account options, chose "other"
    6. chose "add mail account" and do so
    You  should be able to send now, but you might want to check how it updates.  Certain email options used "push"  which lets you know you have a new  email the moment you get it, much like a text message. "Other" only  allows you to have "fetch" which updates every selected amount of  mintues, and "Manual" which does exactly what it says.
    7. It should return you to the mail, contacts, calendars page. Press "Fetch New Data"
    8.  there will be a list of when it will update your email. The less it  updates, the easier it is on battery life. There is a manually option.
    9. If you want to use the actually "Manual" Update schedule then press "Advance" then your account.
    10. There you can chose "Fetch" (which I suggest if you use email a lot and there is a manual option there anyways) or "Manual"
    I really hoped this helped! If it did then well....awesome.

    in response to Pita Fito
    I have contacted three more people that made the upgrade and they have the same problem. My advise is not to upgrade until Apple solves the serious issue, I would hate to have to re-install Outlook...

    I can send e-mails just fine with apple mail on yosemite...
    Might not be a generic problem but rather a personal problem..
    You should try find a fix rather than waiting on apple.
    Hopefully somebody can help you out.
    More than happy to help with your settings/preference pain... And compare mine with yours...
    If you send some screenshots... I can send you my equivalent... So maybe you can figure it out.
    Is it a gmail or icloud email acount? Can be of more help if it is.

  • Since ios5, i cannot send email from my iPod when in my network, only when 3G

    Since ios5, i cannot send email from my ipad when wi-fi but only when 3G

    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?

  • After update, cannot send email via any accounts! Please help!

    First of all, thank you for reading my thread.
    After updating few days ago, I cannot send any email via any acounts. I have .mac email and yahoo email. But I still can receive emails. I have checked message borad, it said "Some members experienced difficulty sending .Mac Mail via computer email applications from 3:30 am to 6 am Pacific Time. Normal service has been restored." But mine hasn't!!! It has been almost a week!!
    The erro message says "cannot send email using this mail server, please choose one of the following server and retry again"
    My english is not very good, I hope you understand my question and any help would be appreciated, thank you again.

    Thank you very much for your reply!
    This is what I got:
    PING smtp.mac.com (17.250.248.45): 56 data bytes
    --- smtp.mac.com ping statistics ---
    10 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
    PING mail.mac.com (17.250.248.152): 56 data bytes
    --- mail.mac.com ping statistics ---
    10 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
    It seems the problem is the server, but it has been many days, I don't think apple haven't had notice this.
    What should I do next?

  • Cannot send email after update on iphone 5

    cannot send email from one account after update,  states my password and/or user name incorrect.  I have it written down,it's not incorrect.

    After the iOS 7 update, in order to send email from my iPhone5 and my daughters (also from our iPads) I had do follow Apples reset instructions. Hold the HOME buttton and the START/AWAKE button until your device restarts and you see the Apple logo when your device restarts. You do not have to swipe the message bar which shows up sometimes as your iPhone is shutting down. Sadly to say, but on my daughters iPhone 5, I had to do this 5 times.
    If you live near an Apple store, make them do it so that someone at Apple will send a fix for other people. I looked for a simple way to contact Apple and there is none. There is a series of prompts and links that are time consuming to be able to reach support about even a simple problem.

    I am getting this error message after upgrading to iOS5: "iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPad "ray's iPad" because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined."
    I wiped it out and restored from backup but I am still getting the same message.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and that fixed it. Here are the specific instructions that I was given.

  • Cannot send email using Gmail after iOS 5

    Since updating to iOS 5, I cannot send email from my Gmail account on my iPhone. I receive email fine, but when trying to send I get the error:
    Cannot Send Mail
    Check the settings for the outgoing servers in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars
    I have erased my Gmail account and re-set it up numerous times, and restarted my phone in between doing so. The wizard works perfectly fine, my password is accepted, and like I mentioned email comes in perfectly. I do not have this problem sending mail from iCloud on the same phone.
    One thing I did do is attempt setting Gmail up as an Exchange account so that I could use push, but it killed my battery so I erased it. This might have been when the problem began but I'm not positive.

    I'm not sure what exactly I did that finally fixed it, but I erased my iCloud and Gmail accounts, restarted the phone, and added Gmail first. But I removed Gmail so many times who knows what actually did it.
