Can only receive mail, not send while in hotels, OK at home
Something isn't configured right but for the life of me, I can't find it. Mail (Connection Doctor) can see my smtp server and ISP home server, but can't send to it. Mail sits in the outbox.
What you need to ask your ISP, likely, is whether they have an Authenticated SMTP for use when connected remotely. With a good many cable ISP, the SMTP is authenticated using the IP address of the modem they supply you, and not Password Authentication -- is this the case for you?
At the same more, and more providers of connection at hotels, WiFi spots, etc., are blocking Port 25 for third party SMTP, but you will be able to use Port 587 in most cases, and Port 465 in some cases, at those locations. But to use either of those ports, the SMTP must be one that is separately authenticated via Password authentication. Thus if your SMTP is authenticated by reference to the IP of your home modem, it won't work of any Port but Port 25 and from home.
One of the attractions of a Gmail account, or a .mac account, is that they also have an authenticated SMTP which works easily from remote locations.
Who is your ISP, or the provider of your email account and SMTP?

Try this first - 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.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Delete the account. Reset the phone. Re-input the account.

With Yahoo Mail, and anotare account (Inacap Mail), I can only receive mails but I can't send emails. I don't know if this is a problem of the iPad or it is a problem with yahoo mail, because using Gmail and the email of my job I don' have this problem.
Google them to confirm the settings that you need for the outgoing server, then check the setting you entered on the pad. Pay real close attention to the outgoing server name, and port. You may need to change in on the pad.

Why can I receive but not send mail?
With sparse information you give I would venture that you have not set up the correct Outgoing Mail Server settings in Mail>Preferences>Accounts. Contact your ISP for their set up.

Why can I receive but not send emails on my i pad?
Perhaps the outgoing mail server settings are incorrect or incomplete.
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. -
How can I receive mail not addressed to me?
This is a security question. Have any of you been receiving mail not addressed to you?
Lately, after the installation of MacOSX 10.4.10 on her G4 PowerBook, a family member has been receiving letters in Apple Mail not addressed to her. Had they arrived by mail, they should have been moved to her Junk Folder by her junk filter.
At first this alarmed me greatly (well, it still does): I removed her computer from the internet & performed examinations for break-ins; for I believed these letters were not mailed, but inserted into her inbox. Because she doesn't believe in security, I was limited to examining logs, and scanning her computer in firewire target disk mode. Both MacScan and ClamXav revealed nothing.
Puzzle 1: About a month ago, there appeared a finder image (happy blue face) at the bottom of her desktop (which is a unique grey-green designed by me). This disappeared in a day or two, at 5:00p on the dot, suggesting an application was involved. When I checked the logs at the exact date & time of desktop photo switches, there was an hiatus (which could have been natural).
Puzzle 2: Today she again received a letter not addressed to her, but to '[email protected]'. (I sent a letter from a mail alias to this address, but it did not appear in her mailbox.) The letter, by the way, was a phish from Germany, so I reported it immediately to Spam Cop. An addendum to this question contains the header of this letter, with the real person's name replaced by [email protected]. (Nothing here need be removed by a moderator.)
Has anyone an explanation for either of these puzzles? I think they're both important. (Before the internet was released upon the public, Postmasters would read the recipient and subject lines of dead letters, then forward them to whoever they thought it was for. 'Krystal2' has no relation to 'correctname', so that's unlikely.) Also, my wife has allowed me to secure her computer better, and no problems similar to 1 or 2 has ever appeared. Thanks very much for any ideas!
Bruce

Sorry, migraine over the holidays. Thank you: you're right! The reason I don't get any like this is because the SPAM must apparently use RFC822. This protocol appears deprecated. It appears stamped on some mail initially sent by Apple, but not others.
Thank you very much, for these have been concerning me. I'm used to seeing my name stamped by each relaying computer. A test letter I sent from my local ISP with a BCC to myself at a school across the country stamped my name at each step.
Your first sentence is slightly ambiguous. In my opinion, any problem whose only explanation at the moment is a security breach is then a security problem, and should be treated immediately as such. The Finder's image is still one.
Thanks again.

Why can I receive but not send messages through Mail?
I recently installed a wireless router (linksys). I can send mail at the local coffee shop, yet here at home I can't. I know it's something very simple, but I'm giving up...and asking for help in fear of tweaking the settings beyond my knowledge. I get a popup that tells me I can't use the listed server for outgoing mail. I have a couple choices...1) lynksys 2)stmp.mac.com:tugboater.
I wish I could get it set up...Its annoying to have to use mt yahoo address.
Heelllppp!Help! I have read through this string, but not found an answer. I too, can receive emails but not send them. The problem started last week - I've been successfully using my mail account for 2 years and then last week, stuff I send just disappears - no error messages. I didn't change any settings or do any updates. All sent messages show in my "sent" folder, as well. I have tried everything, including restoring my hard drive from a backup copy made before I was having difficulty.
I used suggestions in the online help, including using the "ping" function to see if I was communicating with my outgoing mail server. Trying to ping mail.mac.com I get the error message:
"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
I am using mail and .mac mail through a cable DSL line and Airport wireless connection.
I tried changing my outgoing port to 110 and to 25 without help.
Any thoughts? -
HT1430 Can't send mail ( can only receive mail)
How can I receive Mai ?
Your are asking two different and opposite the questions.
If you can't send mail .... 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. -

Why can i receive but not send mms?
i have the iphone 3g and have upgraded to 3.0
i can receive mms, but not send them. the bar goes to about 90% of the way, then i am left with a red blob, telling me it failed.
any idea why or what to do to resolve it?Who's your provider?
I had the same problem with Optus in Australia.
It turned out to be a problem with my profile at their end. I was set to be a prepaid customer, when really I have an account. They fixed it in a few seconds by recreating my profile. -

Try looking in the contacts app or where you typed the email adress at the top to see if it really is the right email. -
Mail not sending while traveling
When I travel with my powerbook and use mac mail, none of my outgoing servers work. Shouldn't my me.com account work anywhere my mail works? Also, my comcast acct doesn't work, but it's a secondary account, so not as important as my 'me' account.
I've had to resort to logging in to my me.com account on the internet, and sending mail from there. It works, but it's not how I want things to operate.
Is there something I don't know about my outgoing mail servers? Why would they not work from anywhere but home?
Thanks
BruceHi Bruce,
It generally boils down to the fact that ISPs generally won't pass through email sending unless it uses the right Ports & Authentication.
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.
