Can't send email through aol account

Nothing seems to work. I've done everything that anyone has suggested (that a fairly intelligent non-geek can understand...) but no luck...

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.

HT1694 Can't send emails through Hotmail account

This just started. I can receive emails, but can't send emails through Hotmail account. iPhone says I need to check my settings (password). I have correct password in settings. Any help?

Hello reedstrom,
Sorry to hear you are not able to send emails from your Hotmail account. Sending emails is a very important feature of the iPhone, and the fourth section in the following tutorial has steps for checking your Outgoing Mail Server settings.

I hope this helps!

Can't send emails on aol account

Can't send emails from macbook air on aol account

IF you mean you can't send messages from aol.com, you must not be signed in. If you mean from an aol mail account use "MacMail" (the icon on the lower dock), you must not have it configured correctly. I have no trouble sending aol mail from either mail source.

I can't send email through DHCP account

I have a Imac G3 with OS 9 that I can surf and receive email on using Outlook Express but it won't send emails. I get an error saying that I am sending through an unauthenticated server even though I have entered authentication on my outgoing mail server. This is all configured by DHCP. I don't have this problem on my G4 using OS 10.2.

cmranch,
As it works with your G4, I've got to insist that the configuration on the G3 is incorrect. Probably the most important thing to check is the Outgoing Mail Server in the Internet Preferences. Check in either IE or Outlook.

Can't send email through Apple mail

I suddenly am not able to send email through Apple mail on my MacBookPro. ipad and iphone still working. I can also send email through att online. My email is @att.net, and the message says "The server cannot be contacted on port 465". (That is the proper port)

Hi,
Here are some suggestions,
1. Try downloading another free email client to see if it works from there, just to eliminate other possibilities.
2. Try removing the account in mail settings, and adding it again with the correct settings.
Let me know what you find!

HTC One--can't send email through GoDaddy

I was searching for a reason why my husband's HTC One can't send email through GoDaddy's smtp server and came across a locked thread that I can't paste in this post. None of the suggestions worked for me. In checking GoDaddy's site, there was a suggestion to log into the Mobile Mail, which I did. Now I just have a shortcut to that website on the phone. I was never able to get the smtp settings to work on his phone. I just thought someone might like to see what finally worked for us.

TS3899 I can't SEND email from Telus account in Alberta, Canada? Does anyone know how to set up the Outgoing server? Help! And thanks!

Can't SEND email from Telus account in Alberta, Canada, unless I go to web mail. Does anyone know how to set up the Outgoing server? Incoming is fine. Outgoing used to work. We changed it when we went to another location, and can't get it back. Telus support can't fix it. Neither smtp.telus.net NOR mail.telus.net works for Outgoing server to send mail. Please help! Thanks.

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 through my aol mail on my iPad 2 after updating to iOS 7

I had to update m iPad because I was no longer able to work a lot of my apps because they kept telling me that there was an update that I had to do in order to even work my apps! I was very reluctant to do it in the first place fearing that I would loose a lot of my pics, videos and or more! Anyway so the other day I sat down and finally did it. After updating my iPad 2 to the new operating system of iOS 7 now I cannot send emails through my aol mail on my iPad. I tried putzing with the settings for smtp and to no avail nothing, I then decided well maybe downloading the aol app would help but still not good enough because it takes up so much room that I had to delete some apps just to get it. I had since deleted the aol app and am still trying to figure out why I keep getting the message I am getting is incorrect] hen it gives me two options which are option 1) Settings and option 2) Cancel. I am in need of assistance here because I can receive mail but cannot send it. Oh and I am able to send mail through my other email addresses on my iPad mail including my me.com and iCloud.com as well as two others but am not able to send through aol. I am loosing my patience with apple very quickly as one why did I have to update the system and why am I forced to update my apps which I feel is completely ridiculous in the first place. Everything was fine until I had to do that and now I cannot keep my iPad on for more then an hour when the battery drains so quickly now because I guess it takes up so much unneeded space! PLEASE HELP ME!

Hello, PriestessJeanann.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing issues with mail. The usual fix would be to delete the email account in question and add this account via the preset AOL option. I would also recommend checking with your email provider for security procedures such as two-step verification as this could cause this issue.

I had the same problem since last Thursday. I have tried and re-tried all of the settings suggested by the support posts but I can not get email to go out of me Outbox.

I have OS X version 10.9.4 and I am not able to send email to AOL accounts.

It looks as though the emails to AOL accounts are sending...they are in my sent box. But the recipients aren't receiving the emails. Why?

Have you done what the message told you to do?
Go to your applications, find Reader, open it, agee to the EULA.

Can't Send Email through Outlook using blackberry as a modem

I am using my blaclberry 8900 as a modem and cannot send emails through outlook. I have called t-mobile and they say that it cannot be done. However I could do it with my Nokia. Any suggestions?

Outlook folder permissions are Outlook issues, try the Microsoft Outlook Forums.

Loaded Outlook mobile app and now I can't send emails through Mail ("Unable to verify account information" error message). Can't use the Authenticator number, either. Help!

I installed the Outlook mobile app on my iPhone using my Hotmail email address and the authenticator code. It works, but I can no longer send emails from Mail. I have not forgotten the password, so I don't know why I am unable to send messages from my mail email account (linked to Hotmail) in Mail. Should I delete the Outlook mobile app? Please help! Thanks.

Still can't send emails through Mail for my Hotmail Account!!!

Hi,
It's been weeks now without being able to send email from my 'Mail' programme which is linked to my Hotmail account.
All I get is a message coming up saying:
'Cannot send message using the server Hotmail'
'Connections to the server "smtp.live.com" on the default ports timed out'
'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'
Where I have the option to choose an outgoing mail server the only choice I have is 'Hotmail' which displays as 'Offline'
What the **** is going on?????
Is this to do with Hotmail now changing to 'Outlook'???
Help!!

Hey,
I found this worked for me, just check your hotmail settings are as follows
You change your POP to IMAP like this
Outlook.com does support IMAP and SMTP.
Incoming server:
IMAP: imap-mail.outlook.com
Port: 993
Encrypted Connection: SSL
Outgoing server:
SMTP: smtp-mail.outlook.com
Port: 25 or 587
Encrypted Connection: TLS
Username: Your Username
Password: Your Password
This won't work on mac os x mail unless you disable pop in your outlook.com account first. If you have mac os x mail, and you don't disable pop in your outlook.com account first, mail will automatically setup pop and smtp.

Can't send mail through AOL...receive OK..HELP

I set up my AOL account through Mail but I can't seem to send any.....I can receive mail OK but I've tried a lot of different settings on the outgoing but it just does not work.
Anyone have any tricks or special settings for AOL?
Thanks!!

It does make a difference. For me, it did, anyways. When I first established an account with an aim.com email address, and specified smtp.aol.com, AOL rejected my mail because the domains didn't match. Or so said the nastygram splash screen that I got. If either smtp server specification works for you, cool. Didn't for me. So, if Steven is "cross-specifying" server/email address domains, it's worth checking this as a potential fix.
http://about.aol.com/faq/openmailaccess#MacOSX gives the official party line for configuring. It doesn't say, specifically, in (9) that it makes a difference about domain -- but it's kind of inferred because it says so in (5) when they tell you how to configure the imap piece ("... depending on type of account").
I, too, have smtp password authentication checked as well. That piece of info just didn't make it into the post.
