Can't send email - iPhone 3G doesn't recognize sender email address

I have had problems with this from day one (July 11).
The problem comes and goes, but now it seems to be staying.
When I try to send email, an error message pops up:
"Cannot Send Mail - the sender address was invalid"
I've rebooted several times, installed 2.0.2, but nothing helps!

jmf3001,
This is actually a message from your outgoing mail server, not the iPhone.
The address can be invalid for a couple of reasons.
First, your outgoing mail server requires authentication. If you are using a mail server for a network you are not connected to this is the most common reason if they support relaying off their network. What this means is when you are at home using your cable, dial-up or DSL connection, the network you are connected to knows who you are and doesn't require a username or password.
Second, this can happen if they don't support relaying off their network. Spammers will look for mail servers to relay messages through. Some networks take security one step further than authentication, and will not accept email from off their network.
Third, it could be because you made a typo entering your email address when setting up the account.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

  • I'm unable to add the email address for iMessage, that I was using before iOS 7 to my iPhone, because it says that it is "in use by another device," but I have no other devices.  How do I resolve this so I can add this email address to my iPhone?

    Sync your iPhone to iTunes, and see if that does the trick.  Also you could try a Soft Reset with no Risk to Data.  Holding down both the Sleep button and the Home button until the Apple logo appears and then waiting for the Reset to bring you iPhone back to the lock screen.    Are you trying to add the email at Settings>Messages>Send and Receive from (2 Addresses) your iPhone number and your email address?

    Pages 5 now uses the system-level auto-correction in System Preferences > Keyboard > Text. Unfortunately, a lot of the options available in previous versions of Pages no longer exist.

  • Can't verify email address for receiving messages in Messages and FaceTime

    In the Preferences for Messages you can set additional email addresses that others can use when sending Messages and FaceTime messages. Apple sends a verification email to the email addresses you add. I have been able to complete this process for three out of four email addresses. Two of those I added today.
    The address I use the most, my long-time email address with my ISP Verizon, repeadedly fails in the process. First, the Preferences panel says 'Email sent'. Then it says 'Waiting to verify' with a link to Details. Apple's verification message never arrives in my Verizon mailbox.
    At one time (pre-Mavericks?) this email worked with Messages and FaceTime, it is the address I use for iTunes purchases. I have checked the Verizon email site for Spam or blocked email addresses. Nothing there.
    Any magic you can suggest?

    Hi,
    It does seem strange that the email works in one place and not another.
    Having said that I have had an email as an Apple ID in the past then the security requirements have changed and whilst it works in some places it often needs you to verify for use in a new place.
    Whilst any login to any Apple Service does check the ID and password with a central database each service is run on it's own servers.
    this leads to some almost two step issues where an ID already in use is not asked to up it's security but a new app can be almost blocked.
    If you go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and use the Manage option to login to that ID is it showing Verified there ?
    AS an Apple ID was there a a recovery email that was linked to it ?
    Do you still have access to that ?  It might be where the email was sent.

  • I changed my gmail password after suspicious activity was detected.  It works fine on my computer but my iphone 5 doesn't recognize my new password ("cannot get mail" message).  I've tried changing my phone settings to the new password, but no good.

    Hello there dinadinadina,
    It sounds like you have modified the password settings for your Gmail account after changing the password. Thats where I would have started too. Next I would restart the device and test it one more time, and then remove and add the account again in Settings:
    Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
    Restart your iOS device.
    Delete the affected email account from your device.
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Tap the affected email account.
    Tap Delete Account.
    Add your account again.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • How can I export email addresses from apple mail?

    How can I export email addresses from Apple Mail?
    Just to be CRISTAL CLEAR please don't reply with export instructions from the address book.....not interested in this.
    I have customers that fill-out a request form online, then the data is sent to our database on our server, and another copy is sent to my email account. The server database got corrupted and is now lost. The only data left are in my email app called APPLE MAIL. I have created Filtered Folders so the data is just in one Folder, not mixed with all other emails. Is there a way to export the email names & addresses from APPLE  MAIL to a CVS file or Excel file?
    Again this is not a question related to Apple Address Book. This is ONLY for Apple MAIL exporting!
    Thanks

    There is a collection of AppleScripts called Mail Scripts you can download at this link.
    http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
    The script to use from the collection of scripts is Add Addresses (Mail) which adds addresses found in the selected messages (in the header fields "From", "To", "Cc", and "Bcc") to the Address Book. This is much more flexible than the "Add Sender to Address Book" available in Mail and provides a convenient way for creating mailing lists.

  • How can I change email address on my ICloud account?  It won't let me change old e-mail address.

    How can I change email address on Icloud?  It won't let me delete old email address so I can enter new email address.

    Are you trying to change the email address which forms the login? Or the @icloud.com address you created when you opened the account? You can't change the latter.
    You can change the login address as long as it isn't an @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com address.
    Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
    Create a new email address, for example  at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
    Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
    Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
    Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
    Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
    I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.

  • What is the temperature limit of the finger to work on iPhone touchscreen? I'm asking this, because I've noticed that when my finger gets too warm (about 104oF) the screen of my iPhone 5 doesn't recognize its touch. Thank you.

    What is the temperature limit of the finger to work on iPhone touchscreen? I'm asking this, because I've noticed that when my finger gets too warm (about 104oF) the screen of my iPhone 5 doesn't recognize its touch. Thank you.

    I understood. Emphasizing that this is still a guess, when you touch the screen it compares your fingerprint at that time to the one you originally recorded. The fact that the finger is warmer may have a small effect on the fingerprint making it appear different than the original colder one. Temperature differences cause things to expand and contract and that may be having an effect on the comparison. You could try recording a fingerprint after doing what you are doing and then see if it will be recognized when you do the same thing to log into the phone. I know that prior to iOS 7.1 for a few minutes after I would wash my hands the phone had difficulty recognizing the fingerprint. Don't know if it was temperature or moisture that caused the temporary change induced by the hand washing. That improved with version 7.1 I think.

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

    Sync it to an app on your computer using iTunes, then sync your Samsung to the same app. Or sync your address book to gmail, yahoo or hotmail, then sync your Samsung to the same service.

  • Can we collect email addresses and build a search function?

    We want to build an app using InDesign, DPS and Edge Animate (plus some custom html5 and javascript if necessary/possible).
    We'd like to have a form somewhere in the app where users can enter their email addresses if they want to receive email from us. Is this possible with these tools and some html5 and javascript brought in to InDesign?
    Can we build a search function within the app that searches all the text?
    I understand that by using a Folio Overlay, the app can bring in a web page. So, could we, for example, create a web page that shows latest stock prices, and then bring that into the Folio Overlay, so that the user always sees those latest prices? What happens if the user's iPad is not connected to the internet? Can we set a default image for the overlay? Also, will the app remember the page it downloaded last time if it can't connect at a later date?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    We developed the first example of search within a DPS folio for the Sotheby's app. In addition, MEI  integrated search within the core of our DPS storefront and custom UI solution, MEI Portico. Within a Portico-powered UI, you can search for folios, specific articles and other content and can then navigate directly to the desired content.
    Please feel free to reach out to discuss.

  • How can I change email address RIM sends mail to?

    I have two emails, one that's strictly friends and family, and one for everything else. A while back I changed the "everything else" address to gmail. Although I've never submitted my personal address to RIM (other than setting up that email on my phone), they've begun spamming my personal mail with daily "notifications." I don't mind getting the mail, but 1. I don't want it coming to my personal address, and 2. I find it very disturbing that RIM harvested my personal account info to use at their convenience. I see in the emails I receive I can "unsubscribe," although they'll still send me mail they deem important. I don't want that, I want to give them my new everything address, so they'll stay out of my personal acct. I have thoroughly searched their site, but see no way to submit this new address, or to set up my acct preferences for my interaction with RIM. Please tell me how to change my address with RIM, or to at least contact them, not about my phone, but about their service (there doesn't appear to be any such option among the "Contact Us" selections they offer). Thanks very much!

    Notifications of what?
    I promise you, from all I've seen, you would have had to check a box in something stating you want to receive updates, etc., from BlackBerry. They certainly haven't "harvested" your email address from simply being loaded to your BlackBerry.
    You need to unsuscribe from the current emails you're getting. Even if you don't want to.
    You probably downloaded an OS or file update or Desktop Software somewhere that you clicked to agree to receive updates.
