Can't send email when not at home

Hi there!
I can send and receive email fine when I am at home, but now I am away from my home I can download my email but not send anything. My settings all appear to be correct (no changes made since I left home) so I am wondering why this is.

As Andrew says, your ISP may be blocking the SMTP to prevent spam. However, you may be able to send Mail using another port. My ISP blocks SMTP on the default port (port 25 I think is default) but if you set the port to 587 it works.
So, check you ISP's help. You may be able to set SMTP to use a different port and get your mail to send

Can't send email when not on my home wifi

I use roadrunner as my email. I also have my own domain that I forward my email to my roadrunner email address. I have configured my email using the settings at http://help.rr.com/hmsfaqs/e_rrmail_emailSettings_iphone.aspx. I have double check it. When setting up my email I use my domain email address. I have configured the pop-server to point to my roadrunner email address and I point the outgoing server to also use my roadrunner account. This work perfectly fine when I am at home. I am able to send emails. The problem is that when I am on AT&T wifi network or some other wifi network I get an error that I my domain email address was rejected by the server.The only way to get it to send is to turn off wifi and use 3G. It then sends properly. This use to work for the past 2 years, but has stopped working. There were no changes on my end except the upgrades to new 4.3.x iOS upgrades. I didn't notice when this stopped working and whether it was due to an iOS upgrade or a change on by roadrunner on their servers.
If I change the return email address from my domain email address to my roadrunner email address, it send fine both at my home wifi and at AT&T wifi network. I have contacted roadrunner help support. They were less than helpfull. After 5 emails and 5 response from them, they said it was an Apple issue and that I should contact apple. Has anyone else noticed this issue?

I am able to send on and off roadrunner's network, if have have my roadrunner email addres as the reply to by using the following http://help.rr.com/hmsfaqs/e_rrmail_emailSettings_iphone.aspx. My problem is when the reply to is not my roadrunner address but my own domain (which is forward to roadrunner) I can't send off network. I have not been able to solve that issue.

Can't send emails when away from home

I can send emails from my iphone when I'm at home, but not once I have left the house. I get the 'sending' bar at the bottom, but nothing ever happens. Any ideas?

When at home connected to your wireless network?
If so, is the email account provided by your internet service provider at home?
If yes, most internet service providers don't have an authenticated SMTP server with the email account they provide which is the problem.
Most, if not all ISPs block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP unless the SMTP server is authenticated, and AT&T is no different in this regard when connected to the internet via their cellular network when sending email.
AT&T's SMTP server is included as an available SMTP server to select/use for an email account when connected to the internet via their cellular network if an email account does not have an authenticated SMTP server. This should work when connected to AT&T's cellular network but may not work when connected to your wi-fi network at home with your internet service provider being used for your internet connection.
I access two email accounts with the iPhone's Mail client. Both accounts have an authenticated SMTP server and I've never had any problems sending with either account regardless the internet service provider being used for my internet connection at the time.

Problem using iPad to receive and send emails when not at home

I am unable to send or receive emails from any outside wifi location like Tesco / ikea but once home there is not a problem. Messages reads "Server unable to respond" I was wondering if it is a security issue ?

Greetings
I suspect that the issue is the SMTP server settings. On your home network you are using your providers SMTP server and all is fine (If you check your email account configs you will find that the SMTP server is set to your providers?).
When you use a different network (provider) mail will not be sent unless you use that networks (providers) SMTP server (this is a security issue to address ways of "spamming").
So if youre 3G/4G provider is the same as you home provider all will work well via your home WiFi. If you turn off WiFi and just use your 3G/4G connection to send mail (iPhone/iPad etc) all will work well (when you are out and about and using anothers WiFi network).
If you are connected to, say a MacDonalds WiFi, mail will probably not be sent. (It will be received though).
Using WEB mail interface (via your WEB browser) removes this problem as well.
(A SMTP server is what is used to send email. So to successfully use anothers (not a networks the same as your providers) WiFi network and send email via it, you must know the SMTP servers name and reconfigure your email account/s to use that server to send mail.)

Can't send mail when away from home

10.5.2
I can't get my MacBook Pro to send email when I'm away from home but the connection doctor says it is connected to all of the smtp servers in my mail accounts.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Most, if not all ISPs, block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP being used for your internet connection) on Port 25. Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only that is outside of their network, but some block all available ports that can be used with an SMTP server that is outside of their network.
These restrictions are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
Earthlink has an authenticated SMTP server, as does a .Mac account, so you should be able to send messages with your Earthlink and .Mac accounts when connected to different ISPs. If not and you are using 25 for the SMTP server port for these SMTP servers, try using 587 for the SMTP server port instead for each.
You can only use the .Mac authenticated SMTP server to send messages with a .Mac account, but it should be possible to use Earthlink's authenticated SMTP server to send messages with any account.
If the ISP you are using for your internet connection is very restrictive in this regard, there isn't much you can do except for contacting the ISP being used for their requirement when using an SMTP server that is outside of their network, or send via webmail access for the account using a browser.

TS3899 why can't i send emails when not on wifi eg 3g

When on wifi eamils send fine, as soon as I lose wifi emails won't send.
measage says unable to send email.copy in outbox. its rejected by server.
I phone 5 latest IOS 7

We are experiencing this exact same behavior. Our environment is Exchange 2007 on Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2012 domain controllers, and iOS 7. WiFi works fine but messages get stuck in outbox when sent over cellular broadband (3G/4G). Was able to reproudce problem over both Verizon and AT&T. I called Apple and engineering said that "the problem has been reported by others" and that "the problem will be fixed in a future update". Such joy. Also the problem appears to be related to message size...for sure anything over 100KB will fail over cellular broadband. Not sure of the largest message that will go through...from what I've read somewhere in the 40KB to 100KB range is where it starts to get crabby. Hard to say exactly what the problem is. Only happens with Exchange. But wasn't a problem on iOS6. Weird that an email and/or attachment size matters between WiFi and mobile broadband when going from iOS 7 to Exchange 2007 (in our case).

Cannot Send Emails If Not Via Home Network

If I am at home I can send emails via my wifi network without problem but I cannot send emails outwith my home wifi range. This is because my ISP (Orange) insist that I send outgoing emails via mail.orangehome.co.uk so I have configured my email settings accordingly.
That outgoing setting does not allow me to send emails using the 3 Network or other wifi networks when I am away from the house
Anybody else having this problem? It is a real PITA and reduces the effectiveness of the phone significantly.
(A side effect of trying to send emails whilst away from my wifi network is that it screws things and any attempt to synchronise the mailbox thereafter results in an error 80072f30 until such time as I delete the message or messages in the outbox which failed to send.)

Hello Hans
The problem I have can be explained with what has happened to me just today!
I was sitting in the back garden and wrote two emails. (Normally my EE Brightbox router will allow me to use wifi in the garden so I thought it safe to send them.)
Wrong!
Because I had no wifi signal for whatever reason, the emails were sent via my network (3) and not via the EE wifi network.
3 then attempted to send them via smtp.orangehome.co.uk (specified in my mailbox setup on my phone since EE insists I use that outgoing server) and I assume that EE then refused to accept them since they did not originate from an EE user. The phone (Lumia 920) at that point froze with the 'Sycnhronising' message static on the screen. When I went to 'email setup' I got a message to tell me that there was a problem with my email setup. Whether the main problem or not, my email password had been lost and even when re-entered, I had to switch the phone off and on to stop the 'Sycnhronising' message and get access to email.
This was slightly different from previous situations - normally I get the numeric error message mentioned earlier. Even now that I have deleted the two emails from the outbox I still cannot use email until I delete and recreate my email account.
I have my own email server which I would prefer to use for outgoing mail as opposed to EE and the Lumia does not offer any facility to alter outgoing ports (as far as I an see).
Sorry if the reply is a bit wordy but I do feel that this situation deserves wider exposure as had I known earlier I would have chosen a broadband supplier who did not dictate the setting for outgoing mail server.

Can't send emails anywhere but from home

Just wondering, using my macbook pro I've noticed that depending on where I am I can ALWAYS receive emails, but often can't send them. I never have this problem at home, is it something with my outgoing mail server not working on other places wifi networks?
My outgoing is mail.charter.net
Just not sure why it wouldn't work everywhere. I'm at the third place today working on different wifi networks, I can surf the web fine, receive emails and such but can't send anything.
Thoughts?
thanks!
Jeff

If you are talking about using the smtp.me.com (or smtp.mac.com) as Outgoing Server, then using Port 587 would be more likely to work at other venues.
This is set in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information by clicking on the arrows beside the name of the SMTP, choosing Edit Server list, and then clicking on the Advanced tab there (different Advanced tab, btw, than you cited earlier). Select Use Custom Port, enter 587 and the Username and Password.
If you are not talking about MobileMe servers (there is no accuracy to citing "mac mail" -- it has no specific meaning.

Can't Send Email When On The Road

Hello - My son has a Roadrunner acct. When he's on the road, he can receive mail via hte Mail app; but he can't send it. Does he need to edit his emai settings while on the road? Thank you!

Hello.
It all depends on the policy of whoever is the ISP at each location and the method used by the outgoing (SMTP) server to determine whether you’re a legitimate user. Note that when you’re not at home, the ISP at that location is usually not the same as the ISP when you’re at home.
In an attempt to fight spam, many ISPs restrict the ability to send using an outgoing (SMTP) server not owned by them, usually by blocking port 25 for all traffic outside their own network, which means you cannot send with an SMTP server not owned by them if configured to use that port number. And it may happen the other way around as well, i.e. the outgoing server itself may look at the IP address you’re connecting from and refuse the connection if you’re outside its own network.
Something that often works is changing the outgoing server port to 587 (or whatever alternate port number the outgoing server listens to) instead of 25 and using some form of authentication in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server > Server Settings, but two conditions must be satisfied for this change to work: (1) the ISP must not block that port as well AND (2) the outgoing server in question must listen to that port and accept a form of authentication not based on the IP address you’re connecting from.
Independent mail service providers not tied to a particular ISP, such as .Mac and Gmail, do allow authenticated SMTP access on port 587, which is the reason changing the outgoing server port number solves the problem for them if the ISP doesn’t block that port as well.
The following article, for example, describes several ways to address this issue in the case of .Mac, but can be useful for other mail accounts as well (not just .Mac), and applies to all versions of Mac OS X (not just Mac OS X 10.4.2 and earlier as the article states):

Can't send email when replying on email

I’m now using iPhone and facing a problem of replying email by using my handphone. This problem persists when I stay in HCM, but it seemed to be ok when I travelled to Hanoi last month.
Please advise.
Thanks,

Contact the email provider and get the correct email account settings.
It should not matter what city or country you are in to send email, but there may be other factors which you are not aware are important and have left off.

My iPhone will not send emails when away from my home wifi

my iphone will not send emails when away from home wifi any advice

Hey craggee,
Thanks for the question. This is usually do to a limitation by your ISP/email provider:
If you are only able to use your email account while connected to your home network, this may be a limitation put in place by your email service provider. For further support, please contact your email service provider directly.

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

TS2621 why may I send email when wi-fi is enabled, but not when it is disabled?

iphone 4s with verizon will send email via wi-fi but not 3G. Are there any ideas why?

Depends on the email account. If it is from your Internet provider they may only allow use of their SMTP server for sending emails when on their network. To send emails when not on their network (i.e. when using Cellular data) it would require using a different SMTP server.
