Can no longer send emails from my 4s

Hi there, I suddenly became unable to send emails from my 4s and though I still receive emails I cannot get into my accounts in settings as they are all greyed out. Is this a problem with the phone and if so what should I do? I have already reset and updated the ios to no avail.
i messaging is also blanking me out.
I have a second question: I tend to send rather long texts for more immediate response than an email and would like to know if there is a counter that keeps track of the character count while texting and if so how to access it.
I'd be most grateful for any help.
Thank you.
Walwal

Please read and begin using Can receive email, but not send email. I had a similar issue with Comcast mail (could receive by not send) and found my answer in this letter. For me it took resetting the outgoing mail and telling the system to use a password when sending outgoing mail. If you need help with that please advise and I'll tell you where to look.

  • Can no longer send email from my accounts but can receive

    I have 5 email accounts set up on my imac. 3 are mine 2 are my partners. I can no longer send emails from my accounts but my partner still can. They all still receive mail but when I attempt to send mail I get:-
    Cannot Send Message Using Server
    Then i'm asked to select a different server from a list. I have tried all but to no avail.
    I first of all deleted my partners sky.com account because it appeared to me that this was maybe overiding all other accounts and it was no longer needed on imac.
    I then deleted one of my accounts - hotmail, to see if i added it again maybe it would work but now I cant even re add the mail account as everytime i go to mail, preferences account to set it up again the initial screen comes up with my partners details including the sky.com username and when i overwrite these and try to install hotmail acount I get told that logging in failed check user name and password is correct. Which they are.
    All used to work fine but now I have these problems, they appeared to have started when my partner set up an icloud account and is synching with this - could this be the cause?
    I can send email from my accounts from iphone still but no longer from imac.

    First,
    I'd run all availiable software updates. After that, I would try removing all of the accounts from "Mail", and then re-adding them. Be aware that if your folders and such are located on your mac, and not on the mail servers, you may risk lose some information (always have a back-up).
    Sometimes, when you have a number of e-mail account there can be server issues abound. I would go into the server lists and make sure that they are set properly. If you see the "use only this server" box, check it for each of them.

  • I can no longer send emails from my mac yahoo business account, but can send them directly from yahoo. just not from mac mail. I've been able to send emails perfectly fine until today. Help!

    I can no longer send emails from my mac yahoo business account, but can send them directly from yahoo. just not from mac mail. I've been able to send emails perfectly fine until today. I've been on the phone with yahoo mail and they've verified that my account settings are correct and I can send email from yahoo. I can receive emails via Mac mail, but just can't send them. An error message appears that says:
    "Sending the message content to the server failed." I can't send emails from my Mac desktop, iphone or ipad. Any suggestions! Help! I'm a Mac rookie and so frustrated! Thanks.

  • I can no longer send email from my iPad, any suggestions?

    I Can no longer send email from my iPad, error message said 'outgoing mail name or password incorrect', does anyone know a fix for this problem?

    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.

  • Can no longer send emails from Mail on iMac but CAN on MBP

    Initially, when Mobile Me ended, my email was changed to work with iCloud and it worked fine for about seven months or so.  Then, it started giving me an error message (on my iMac, my Macbook Pro, and my iPhone) that said it rejected my password. After a long phone call with Apple, they said that the iCloud server was having problems with certain accounts.  They seemed to have fixed it and the mail started working again. 
    Then it stopped sending email BUT ONLY on my iMac (message says that stmp rejects my password).  I have the exact same settings (and password) on my Macbook Pro and the iCloud/Mac/Me mail is received and sent without trouble.  I have Snow Leopard on both computers and the same version of Mail on both computers. My Thunderbird email client receives and sends my iCloud/Mac/Me email on my iMac without a problem.  Apple Mail receives and sends my other email addresses (gmail, hover) without a problem.  Gmail is set to POP and Hover is set to IMAP.
    What I have tried:
    1) I have deleted the iCloud mail account and re-created it using instructions from Apple Support online as well as Mac users on the forums.  (I am not an IT expert, but I can follow instructions.)
    2) I have removed all saved iCloud/Mobile Me passwords from my keychain (both incoming and outgoing) in case there was an old one stored there.
    3) I have created a new IMAP account.  I have created a new Mobile Me IMAP account. I am not given the option in Snow Leopard of creating a new iCloud account -- but as I said the iCloud account (called Mobile Me IMAP) is WORKING on my Macbook Pro.  
    If I were having the problem with the Macbook Pro rather than the iMac, I'd just go to the Genius Bar and let them handle it.  But, if I can do it without packing up and carrying my desktop, that would be preferable. 
    Any suggestions?

    Hi Lanny,
    Thank you for this.  I followed it "to the letter".  In fact, I tried it twice to make sure I didn't miss any steps. Both times, everything went as described until STMP.  When I got to the STMP page and hit "create", it once again told me that the STMP server name and/or password were "incorrect".  My iCloud mail arrives fine, but nothing can go out because the outgoing mail does not recognize my password (or at least that seems to be what is happening.) I tried to give up and set Thunderbird up as my default mail client, but iPhoto doesn't recognize it and when I want to email a photo, it opens Apple Mail. I just do not understand why it works on my MBP and not on my iMac. Nothing was changed on either computer.  It simply stopped sending outgoing mail on the iMac and continues to send out on the MBP. 
    It's a mystery.

  • I can not longer send email from my .me email. in outlook 2010 on my PC. I can still recieve emails fine. I have not changed my settings at all. I have however tried all the settings i can find on the support pages. PLEASE HELP

    I can still receive icloud ( ME email address) emails fine. I have not changed my settings at all. I have however tried all the settings I can find on the support pages. PLEASE HELP. Nothing has changed. This suddenly just started happening around a month ago. To frustrate me apple does not seem to have a support email or any method to contact them with this issue to do with their email product. I have spent ages going through the apple support sites and I keep getting asked for an apple product to mark it against. I have no apple product as I am using a PC but I am accessing and using their email product. Is there even a phone number I can call? Surely there is a support area for their Email server issues. Can anyone help? It is driving me mad and causing me major issues. My outlook is Outlook 2010 on a windows 8 PC. As I have said it worked fine then one day decided to stop sending emails.
    Thanks for your help.

  • I can no longer send emails from my iPad after changing the passwords for my BT Yahoo account on my iMac

    I changed my passwords for my BT Yahho email on my iMac following  my accouts being hacked.  Email works fine on my iMac, and I receive emails OK on my iPad, but cannot send them from the iPad.  Am not sure what to do.  I found the BT help pretty useless.  Any suggestions please?

    Did you go deep enough into the settings? 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.

  • Can no longer send email from my pop accounts or my .mac from iPhone

    My phone won't send any email anymore. In fact, when I compose a message and hit send it just disappears. No record of it anywhere.
    All my mail accounts used to work perfectly! I've checked all my settings and have tried from both wifi and the ATT Edge network. Neither works.
    This is ridiculous.

  • Why can I no longer send email from my Hotmail SMTP account using Mail?

    I can no longer send email from my Hotmail SMTP account using Mail. The connection doctor says it can't connect to the SMTP server. All the settings look to be correct and it was working fine before. I can still email using my iPhone with the same account.

    Other may post it is some type of change with your ISP but the simple fact is this happen with Apple Mac Mail all the time.
    IMHO Mac Mail is one of, if not the, worst mail program ever written.
    Do yourself a big favor and start using some other mail program, any other Mail program.

  • HT204053 The one alias I've had for over 5 years has not fully migrated over to iCloud. My account now shows 3of3 aliases available but I'm still able to receive messages addressed to my old alias. I can no longer send emails using this alias. Help!

    For years I have been using [email protected] for business.
    It is on my business cards, stationary and most of my closest correspondences are maintained off of that email.
    The documentation I've read indicates aliases should be transferred over as part of this iCloud migration but this does not seem to be the case. My account now shows 3of3 aliases available but I'm still able to receive messages addressed to the alias. I can no longer send emails from this alias.
    How do I get this corrected?

  • After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

    After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

    My gmail, which is correctly configured for Mail with gmail SMTP and Google IMAP, works for awhile on Mail, which I leave open while working on other applications. But several times a day I get msg from Google: "We recently blocked a sign-in attempt to your Google Account" . . . and requiring me to verify my account details, re-enter passwords, confirm security settings (or change them from "disable" to "enable less secure methods" and so on). In Mail I also have tried "taking all accounts online", and re-entering my gmail password inside Mail account settings. These steps successfully re-set comms between gmail and Mail ... for awhile, then it happens again. Enough occurrences over a work day that I just quit Mail and revert to accessing gmail directly. Apple Care advisor and an Apple knowledge base article say that Apple can't deal with this, as gmail is third-party app, and they refer me to gmail, and so far I've found nothing helpful there.
    From today I also have several instances of a window saying "Mail has unexpectedly closed" and asking me to Re-open it.
    I also use Yahoo mail, which stops working with Mac Mail at the same time as gmail, but I do not receive notices to re-verify from Yahoo.
    I recently upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite. The Mail problem happened occasionally with Mavericks but is far more frequent with Yosemite.

  • HT4623 I can no longer send photos from my Iphone 4G. Also not receiving any photos sent by family members. I did the reset of the entire phone & restored from Icloud backup still having same issue.

    I can no longer send pictures from my I phone 4Gs, It's been updated & I reset the entire phone & restored. Still having same issues. Also not receiving pictures anymore either.

    Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
    My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
    They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
    However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
    I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
    Anyways I digress.
    So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
    At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
    All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.

  • I can no longer send emails, but can receive them.  Something about smtp?

    Hi,
    I need help.
    I am overseas at my parents house and using their wireless internet and i went to go and send emails from my Mail application (using my .Me account) just like i have done plenty of times in the past and for some reason i can no longer send emails, however i am still receiving them. I get these messages pop up:
    Cannot send the message using the server:
    smtp.mac.com
    Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server. All messages will use this server until you quit Mail or change your network settings.
    Send message using (then there is a pull down menu with smtp.mac.com:yuko as the only selection)
    At the base of this box, there are 3 buttons you can press: "Edit Message", "Use Selected Server", "Try again later".
    So i select "Use Selected Server" and the following Error message appears:
    Message from: Conlan Bryce <[email protected]>
    This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
    The server "smtp.mac.com" refused to allow a connection on port 25
    Can any one help me with this? I did not touch any settings in my Preferences and System Preferences. it just happened one day. I dont remember what my original settings were, so i cant tell what is different.
    Any ideas about how to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Bryce

    Hi Olivier,
    Thanks very much for that. it worked on my powerbook(running Tiger). I went to the link and followed the instructions and it worked. Did i mention that my dad who has a iMac running Leopard now has the same problem. I thought i would just do the same but the Preference in Mail for Leopard is of course different. There is no icon called "Server Settings" under Accounts section like there is on mine. Do you have a link for the same kind of instructions for Leopard?
    Thanks again,
    Bryce
