Can only send email over wifi?...

Anybody have any clues why this would happen? I get a message that the server is not responding if I try to send an email on the 3g network (Orange, France) but it works fine once hooked up to wifi. Sending an identical email at the same time with the computer over wifi goes through so it's not a timing issue.

Could be that you using your ISPs SMTP

Can't send email over wifi

I can receive email over wi-fi, but not send. It works fine over 3G. It's a pop account. Any help is appreciated.

Who is the email account provider for this email account and does the account have an authenticated SMTP server - authenticated with a user name and password as is required to check for any receive email?

There is a huge difference between sending email and sending messages.
Yes, I believe you when you say you can only send messages to other Apple products. The iPad is not a telephone, and therefore, it cannot text message. It can only iMessage, which means it can send and receive messages to/from other Apple products if they are on WiFi or an iMessage capable cellular network.
Email, however, is a whole different category. I don't really think you can only exchange email with other Apple products only. Make sure you have correctly identified the symptoms.

Can't get email over wifi at home, but can at work.

Okay, I think this is a problem with settings on my time capsule, but I can't figure out what. On my iPhone 5 and wife's iPad I can get email over the cellular network and over wifi at work. I can't get email over wifi at home, get a can't connect to server error. Also had a friend, who uses the same ISP, try with his android phone - same error, but works over wifi at his house. Since I can get email over cellular and wifi at work, I'm fairly confident that I have the server settings correct. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Was facing a similar issue with my friend's iPad (Latest one). Forcing the DNS Server to 8.8.8.8 (I think Google's DNS servers) fixes this issue. I had faced something similar on my iMac a long time back. Something a little strange about how Apple products do a DNS lookup? Not sure if it is an issue with the response time of the DNS servers as well..
In any case, the good news was changing it to 8.8.8.8 worked.. Luckily the iPad's network configuration tool allows you to navigate to the pane where you can see the DHCP supplied IP addresses and just go to the DNS field, delete what was present there and force it to this address.
The difficulty in coming to this conclusion was the fact that the browser works fine for all the sites we had tried. It is mostly the apps that had trouble, and the App store also was inconsistent in reporting details..

Can't send email using wifi. Spent 30 min troubleshooting with my email service provider who finally told me to contact Apple

Can't send email using wifi. Spent 30 min troubleshooting with my email service provider who finally told me to contact Apple.
It doesn't work when I can't get 3G, whether at home or overseas. Receives no problem, and 3G works fine when it's available.

Maybe it is a 3GS. Anyway, I get the error that the network is not responding, and to check my settings. My ISP is Uniserve (Canada) but I am trying to use Telus (at home, where there is no 3G in my neighbourhood) or whatever is available as I travel eg. US or Europe for outgoing mail when 3G is not available. My husband has no problem with his iphone 4 when he sends email the same way usinf wifi.

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.

Can't send email over wi fi

I am not able to send email over the wi fi connection. I recieve it but can't respond or send an email that I compose. Also, I do not get the option to send from the general message folder even though it allows me to compose or reply from that location. I tried to get into the setup menu to check my email settings but it won't let me in there without connection to a mobil network, and I live in a dead spot, so the wi fi is critical. Do I have to go find a mobil connection to access these settings?

I'm glad you got it sorted. There may have been another option, though...see this page:

If your carrier makes their BIS available via a website, then you could have logged into it via PC/Browser and done the configuration. The downside of that is that you must create credentials for your BIS account to use that pathway -- and then also use them on the BB BIS interface...but it has a "remember me" box so you'd only have to enter them once. Plus, it is also possible that you'd still have to use your BB BIS interface to create the BIS credentials...hard to say for sure.
Now that you have it resolved, you should check out if your carrier presents BIS via a website...then you could do things with it when you are at home and out of their OTA signal area.
Good luck!

Can't send email over EDGE from hosted gmail domain. Works fine over WIFI

I'm trying to send email from my google apps hosted doman over EDGE network.
I'm using port 587, SSL, authentication: password.
Works fine over WIFI but edge network rejects it every time.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ben

I'm running into the exact same issue. However, I am running my own mail server and not going through Gmail. On wi-fi, everything works fine. On Edge, I receive the error message indicating that the server is not responding, unable to connect to server, etc. I spoke to Apple support and they just walked me through the settings and said that they did not know what was wrong and suspected there is something wrong with the phone and wanted me to take it to the retail store to have them look at it and possibly send it in for repair. When I spoke to ATT they said that they are not experiencing any disruptions in the Edge network and that they also suspect it is the phone. I personally do not believe it is a defective phone. I upgraded my phone a couple of days ago the 1.1.2 firmware and within 24 hours later I started having this problem. I also tried setting up a connection to my .mac account and experienced the exact same thing there, so I know it is not isolated to my mail server. Funny thing is, I can access the internet over the Edge network just fine, so this has something to do with either the mail ports being blocked somehow within the Edge network or has to do something with the Mail Application on the iPhone which is not recognizing or not able to connect through the establised Edge connection. Maybe there is some sort of firewall on the iPhone that is blocking those ports? If anyone from Apple or ATT is listening, please investigate! I do not want to mail my phone in for repair when it is a perfectly good phone and may be able to be fixed with another firmware update.

Can't send email with wifi

I have the Apple mail set up , but cannot send or receive email. I used to be able to send when I was using my cell phone as a modem, but since I am on wifi, I can't even send email. I also have my Netscape webmail set up to use like it is Pop email. It also works with my cell phone, but not on wifi. Why do I have to use it as web mail on wifi?

Barb Norvell
My guess is that either:
1. Your local wifi network may be blocking the usual mail port numbers for POP receive (110) and SMTP send (25) services. I don't know why this would occur.
The port for Web Mail, HTTP (80) same as for Browsing, is of course allowed, so you can access web mail on any web page.
2. If you are referring to a WIFI internet service provider, you may need to reconfigure your Apple mail preferences to use their mail servers (preferences in Mail, not system preferences) rather than trying to forward mail to/from a previous ISP. Or they may not even provide email service. (I know very little about WIFI internet service providers habits).

Droid maxx won't send email over wifi

My maxx has stopped sending email messages while connected to wifi. Incoming messages work fine.

Marms37,
Oh no! Sorry to hear that your device isn't sending emails. When did this start? Let's get you back up and running. Have you tried to remove the email account and then re-add it? What additional steps have you taken to try to get this working again? Keep us posted!

Can't send email over home wi-fi network

Everything about ihone has been great except for baffling email problem. Prior to this I've never had a problem setting up POP email on various Macs, PDAs, cellphones...
I'm in the UK so on the o2 network. I have correctly filled in all the correct recommended mail settings which others have reported as working.
Here's the problem:
- I can pick up mail fine when I'm connecting via home wi-fi, using my usual POP server
- I can send mail OK over the GPRS/EDGE network using o2's smtp server
- When I try to send an email using o2's server, but connecting via home wi-fi, the email never sends. It seems to lock up the email software which continuously attempts to send but with no progress on the progress bar.
This is driving me nuts as I want to use the o2 server so I don't have to switch between accounts whether home or not or whether on mobile network or wi-fi.
I have tried several times to reset the phone, delete email accounts and enter them again from scratch. I even did a total erase and reset of the iPhone but same problem.
Any advice please?
Thanks

o2's server will only work on their network (i.e., on EDGE and GPRS). If it worked off-network it would be a boon to spammers (an "open relay"). You need to find out if the ISP that provides your home Internet connection has an SMTP server that is available off-network, or you can find a "public" server such as gmail for sending.

Can't access email over wifi with iPhone 5, iPod Touch, or iPad

All was working fine, then suddenly stopped. Get message "Cannot Get Mail The connection to the server failed.", followed by "Cannot Get Mail The mail server "imap.yahoo.com" (or "imap,gmail.com) is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings." message. Email works on cellular connection on iPhone; not an option on iPad or iPod Touch. I've tried verifying settings, resetting all devices, deleted and reinstalled email accounts (yahoo and gmail). No luck. Any suggestions?

I got this error for my Gmail, and Hotmail accounts but not for my Exchange account at work. It seems to be a problem on Apple's side since it affects multiple mail systems.

4S can't send emails unless on home Wifi

I was given an Iphone4S and I'm on Orange/EE provider. When I set up the email account I got a msg "Outgoing mail server setting is provided for 02 customers in the UK. 02 customers should enter their 02 email address in primary outgoing mail server". Orange/EE is my provider. I receive emails ok but when I try to send using my Talktalk server, the msg is "The sender name was rejected by the server". Can anyone help me please?

4S Can only send email if connected to home wifi

Can't send email while traveling

We live in Texas. My dad is traveling in Hawaii. His new iPad 2 worked fine here. He gets there and he can't send email (over hotel wifi - he does not have the 3G turned on). Does he need to turn data roaming on or something? Is there a setting change he needs to make?

As long as he has access to Wifi and is connected, his email should work. No need to change port settings. He might want to reboot his iPad and try his mail application again. To reboot, press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and his iPad will restart. Once it comes back up, he should try his mail application again.
