    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. 

  • TS3276 I can receive emails but I cannot send them. I have recently renewed my password. What do I do to send emails please?

    Help! I can receive emails but I cannot send them. I have recently changed my password. What am I doing wrong?

    You need to open Mail>Preferences>Accounts>"Account Information" tab>and there input the required information for your Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP).  Your Internet Service Provider will have the required information to give you to input here.  Make sure that you also click at the end of the line "Outgoing Mail Server" on the arrows to get the dropdown list, and there click on "Edit SMTP Server List" and fill in the data in that resulting window also.

    Hi Tnolen15,
    If you are having issues sending or receiving messages from a specific contact (in this case, your wife), you may find this portion of the following article helpful (ignore the numbering):
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.

  • I can't receive emails but I can receive them. Why?

    From m today I can't receive emails on my iPad but I can make them.

    Of you mean you can't receive mails but can send them
    Then 1 of two things are the cause
    1 your pop3, imap, or exchange settings are set wrong
    2 you carrier or router block the required ports

  • Why can I receive iMessages but not send them?

    I'm signed into Apple ID for iMessages and have both wifi and cellular data available but I can't send iMessages! I'm receiving them but can only respond by text. FaceTime is also working!

    Macrumors posted a solution for this.  I used it and it seems to have worked for me.
    Here's what they said:
    1. Turn off iMessage in Settings > Messages
    2. Reset networking settings in Settings > General > Reset
    3. Reenable iMessage in Settings > Messages

  • Why can't i receive iMessages but I can send them

    I am able to send iMessages but then when the people go to send me a message back they are unable to and it is sent to me as a text message

    This has happened to me before.
    If iMessage is currently unavailable(i.e., bad reception), it will send(and receive) the messages as SMS. This is due I believe to the fact that iMessage is more of an instant messaging service.

  • I am receiving Imessages but I am sending text messages I have Imessage turned on?

    My fiance is sending me Imessages but whenever I message her back I send text messages and it only happens with her

    Take the device to Apple for evaluation.

  • IPhone 5 receives emails but won't send them

    -- now sorted thanks to Judian35's reply (Jan '13) to a previous query. Worked a treat, but the email sending should've worked first time surely? Seemed a strange sort of fix to me. Diesels and hydraulics more my bag....

    You will need to go to your email settings  - SMTP outgoing mail server and make sure the password is correct.

  • HT5085 I can receive emails  but I cannot send them

    I can recieve emails but cannot send them

    Go to Mail>Preferences. Select the account that you cannot send e-mails. What does the line item, "Outgoing Mail Server" say? If none is selected, select one that best associated with the account.

  • I'm in a group message with 12 people. All are iPhone users, except for the token Galaxy user. I can receive messages, but I cannot send them. How can I fix this?

    Title says it all

    Hey kenth93939!
    Here is an article for you about group messages that has some helpful information and troubleshooting tips for this issue:
    iOS: Understanding group messaging
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760
    The Group Messaging setting applies only to MMS messages.
    Your wireless carrier may restrict the maximum number of recipients allowed in a group message with MMS.
    Disabling Group Messaging has no effect on iMessage behavior. Responses to group iMessages are always sent to all recipients.
    Group messaging with MMS requires an appropriate plan from your carrier for use on iPhone.
    Carrier messaging rates may apply when using group messaging with MMS.
    Additional Information
    It is not possible to remove yourself from a group message.
    To add or remove recipients, you must create a new group message conversation.
    If you experience an issue with iMessage, SMS, or MMS messaging, try the steps outlined in this article.
    To learn more about SMS, MMS, and iMessage see iOS: Using Messages.
    Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,

  • TS3899 My iPhone 4s will receive emails but refuses to send them saying my server does not recognise the account... Help!

    I cannot send emails regardless of wifi connection but an read them no problem I don't understand the problem

    Check your iPhone's Email settings in Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calenders then selec the account. Make sure the Outgoing Mail Server is properly set. It may or may not be the same as the Incoming server. Contact your email provider for the proper address. If the address is properly set try trunning "Use SSL" off as well as ensuring the proper username and passord is enter here as well.

  • I can receive iMessage but cannot send

    I can receive iMessages, but am unable to send.... Help!

    Back again.
    Apologies for the delay – it's taken this much time to get a new micro-sim! You were correct that a new sim solved the texting problem - I can now send texts. BUT, the original problem still stands: I go to Settings / FaceTime / Use Apple ID for FaceTime / Enter Apple ID...  I enter my correct password and get:  "FaceTime Activation. The user name or password for (...my email) was incorrect. Try again".
    The user name, by default, is my email and my password is the same one used to access this forum, iStore etc. so I know both are correct.
    I live in the UAE where FaceTime is banned, but my iPhone 4s is UK specs and has the FaceTime app. I use the same app on my MacBook Pro over broadband and iPad over wifi with no problems. Advice appreciated.
