Can't send email on public library WIFI

When I log onto a public library WiFi, for some reason Mail (v3.4) won't send. It receives just fine - but I can't sent.
Is there a preference for this?

Depending on the port you have selected to send mail from, they may have it blocked on their network.
The default smtp port is 25.
Webmail is one way around this. Or, you can check with your provider to see if they have an alternate port you can/should use for smtp with authentication.
The link below includes screenshots on where to find these settings in mac mail, but do not change without first ensuring it is supported by your isp.

    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.

  • 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?

  • I can't send emails from iPhone until I connect to my wifi! I am with bigpond and have a bigpond email address. Can anyone help me?

    I can't send emails from iPhone until I connect to my wifi at home. I am with bigpond and have a bigpond email address. Can anyone help me?

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I can not send email from my iPad .  Have been using it for over a year, all of a sudden I can only receive email.  I have a wifi connection in my home and have a A T &T cellular data plan?

    I can not send email from my iPad .  Have been using it for over a year, all of a sudden I can only receive email.  I have a wifi connection in my home and have a A T &T cellular data plan?

    I have a 1st gen iPhone that I just updated the software to 2.0.2
    Now whenever I press the mail icon it goes to the mail app for about 4 seconds, does nothing, no loading of folders, old messages, nothing.
    Then it reverts back to the home screen. Tried restarting, haven't tried restoring, thought I'd look here first.
    Anyone???

  • On 3G we cannot send emails from either our iPhones or iPad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all.  Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Email account.  What is causing this and what do we need to do to resolve it?

    On 3G we cannot send  Business emails from either our iPhones or Ipad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all.  Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Account using both 3G and WiFi.
    We bought the iPhones and Ipad so that we could send emails while we are out of the Office, but we are not able to do this unless we can find a WiFi connection. Incoming emails are fine.  We use IMAP, for Business emails just incase this is relevant and I know that Hotmail is POP3.
    Our technical IT knowledge is not great, so we look forward to your suggestions as to how to resolve this. 

    Contact whomever supports the email account and get the correct Outgoing email server settings from them.

  • 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.

  • Can't send email while connected to friends wifi

    I can retrieve email, but can't send email while connected to friends wifi. I think I get message that says "cannot connect to server" (being comcast, which is my home ISP).

    It is possible that your friend's ISP is blocking outbound traffic on the port your mail service provider is expecting your outbound email. Another possibility is that your ISP does not accept outbound email from locations not on their network. Both of these are due to efforts by Internet service providers to curb spam.
    Contact the ISPs involved (I would suggest your own first) to find out what is happening.
    Best of luck.

  • Can't send email from home

    I have a serious problem. My wife has a Mac Book Pro for work and she can send email at any location except from home. The error she is getting is
    Cannot send message using the server smtp.knology.net:(username)
    The server "smtp.knology.net" refuses to allow a connection on the default ports. Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click try later to leave the message in your outbox until it can be sent.
    I have BellSouth/AT&T DSL with a Westel Versalink 327W modem. The funny thing is our local library also has BellSouth DSL and she can send email from there. Like I said, the only place she can't send email is from our house.
    Thanks

    It is the BS/ATT system you are on. BS/ATT does not allow sending email to another domain from a Residential account. I had the same problem with my work email from home. All sent mail on port 25, I think it is, from a ATT Residential account must go through the ATT servers and or ATT/Yahoo.
    Have your wife check with the mail provider for an alternate sending port. My work mail servers used port 26 for POP and some other port for IMAP.
    EDIT:
    Right the Library has a Business Account. No restrictions on the Business ATT DSL.

  • Why I can't send emails to some address and also i...

    Hello!

    Yahoo has messed with their stuff lately (honestly they've been messing with their servers for months)
    One thing would be if you guys wanted to use the yahoo mail app, or there have been other users posting solutions that they say work for them
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/27906475?ac_cid=tw123456#27906475
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/27894621?ac_cid=tw123456#27894621
    These have applied to people not able to get mail but changing the settings may help you and your wife. (My yahoo is still working so I haven't needed to try any of these)
    I've noticed with my Yahoo that they've changed their login protocols. For example 'stay signed in' is always clicked and the push is for people to merge multiple accounts to access their multiple yahoo from one account/sign in instead of signing out/in to access different accounts. I'm wondering if that change is what's messing with the protocols needed for iOS mail to work. But no one really knows for sure (and neither Apple or Yahoo will comment on the issue)
    About all users can do is find work arounds that work for them.
    If these don't work or if you don't want to use the yahoo mail app, you might try using safari to go to yahoo.com and access your mail that way.

  • Can't send email with v4.5

    I upgraded to version 4.5 of the device software for my 8310 Curve and now I can't send emails (recieves OK). I can't seem to access the email settings. When I go to the Setup Wizard it gets to the date and time page and the next page returns a "404: Not found" error. If I go to my 'Mobile Email Settings' it doesn't recognise my username and password (grrrrrr). Any suggestions that don't involve reinstalling the original software?
    Network: Vodafone UK
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi mjbryan
    4.5 device software for the 8310 has not yet been released for Vodafone UK.  Chances are you have a development copy of the OS and it likely contains bugs - the reason why it is not released publically. 
    What happens when you try to send an email?  If you get a red X, open the message with the red X and it will give you a message status, post that here or type it into the BlackBerry Technical Solution Center

  • I can't send emails but can receive them

    Hi can anyone tell me how to set up iPad to send emails? I can receive them but can't send any except public emails account

    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.
