Can't send mail on my iPad

I can read my email on my iPad - but when I construct an email message and hit "send" - it just disappears. It does NOT show up in Sent Mail - and it is not delivered.
I rechecked - and rebuilt my outgoing smtp server - but the sent messages still just go to vapor. MacBook Pro on the same network - with the same SMTP works great.
Anyone know where to start?
Dick

I am using Earthlink and my local phone service.
I reset my iPad (on/off button plus Home button) - and then I reset the iPad via USB to my iMac with iTunes.
And, now, my email is working.
So - it's fixed by resetting everything.

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.

How can i send mail from my ipad to my email address on my computor

how can i send e/mail from ipad to my main computor and recieve mail from my computot to my ipad, i joined iclouds with a e/mail address now nothing works

You'd need to set that up with your mail provider
For example, I use yahoo. Id' need to access yahoo via safari and their web interface and see what kind of forwarding or auto replies I can set up.
The iPad mail app won't do it, it has to be done at the server level through your mail provider.

Why can I receive mail on my iPAD during my visit to the USA but not send mail?

Double check to make sure that your same email addresses are set up on both devices in the Messages settings. Also ensure that you have text messaging forwarding turned off if you do not want to receive them on your iPad.

Can't send mail out of my iPad and iPhone using my office work mail account.

I can't send mails out of my work mail account on IPad or iPhone. I usually get error message that the server does not accept relay messages. I only get this problem on IOS devices only but on other platform I don't . Please can anyone help fix this?

I had an imap account in my iPad and my iPhone 4. They worked just fine till about Christmas. They act like they are checking the mail and it shows there is mail to come in, but it just goes back to saying checking mail. Can't send mail either.

Update to above question:
Hello All,
To anyone with the same problem described above, on THEIR iPad (if it is running iOS 7.0.2):
Go to Settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; DELETE your *******@btinternet.com e-mail account, that you originally set up either using 'Other', or the 'BT' option which I am sure was in the list previous to the iOS 7 update.
Then ADD a NEW account choosing YAHOO from the list of options. DO NOT USE 'OTHER'.
Enter the correct details just as you (almost certainly) had already done in your previous attempts using 'other'.
When you see the 'verifying......' and 'the blue ticks' you should be able to exit settings and open your mail app and then receive all your 'old' e-mails again, AND be able to SEND as well.
All my 'old' e-mails, were NOT found in the 'old e-mail' folder though. THEY are still in my inbox.
So this fix worked for me.
After I deleted my account from 'OTHER' and put it in Yahoo, I like other people also ended up with more folders.
I hope this works for you on YOUR Apple devices.
Bob

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???

TS3899 Can't send an email from iPad it ends up in the outbox and won't send

Can't send emails from my iPad, it gets stuck in the outbox and tells me the server fails
Any ideas..?

amish has it right. there is something wrong with your outgoing mail settings. google you isp and 'e mail settings' and reenter them, real carefully. Pay particular attention to outgoing server name, and server ports. if it asks for your id and password and calls it optional, enter it anyway.
A few isps have actual apps that will configure it for you.

I can't send mails

This is a little confuse because i can send/recive mails on iphone and web, and i can recive mails on my mac but not send... also happens something weird that i see on message sent inbox on mac/web/iphone mail that i send on mac... so i dont know if this happens by sync or there is really something bad with my email account or for recive my mails people. All this happens only with my icloud account... by the way, sometimes i can't send mails too from my iphone but when i delete and add my icloud account this solve, no the same case on mac
Appreciate your help, thanks

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
Reset iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off".

Sending mail from an IPad

I can receive but not send mail from my IPad?

If you are getting the "server rejected ..." message try this.
Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if you can then send emails. Even if the information is listed as optional, enter the username and password anyway.

I can't send email from my iPad. I am from Australia but on holidays in Greece. Does anyone know what is the smtp outserver for Greece that I should use?

As you haven't told us who your email provider is, no.
There isn't an SMTP server for Greece - it is either provided by your email provider, or the Internet provider you are connected through.

Cannot send mail from my ipad

I cannot send mails from my ipad, I have checked settings with my mail server and they tell me that everything is OK, they don't know what may be causing the problem, any ideas?

TBS2.
There is no way for anyone to know if your problem is identical to the problem reported by maria_diaz. She didn't mention anything about getting the "relaying" message. I suggest you start a new question that gives a good title to a specific problem. Then in the body of the thread describe the problem in detail, tell us what steps you have tried so far to correct the problem, what happened, and what error messages you received.

Can't send mail since 10.4.6 update

Since updating my OS to 10.4.6 I can't send mail. I can receive mail and I can browse online. But mail will not go out. I've verified all the Outgoing Mail Server info SEVERAL times and have had no luck. I've enabled Entourage to handle mail instead of MacMail and it won't work either. Totally stumped.
Same thing has happened on my iBook G4 laptop by the way. I'm convinced that the update has something to do with this.

INTERNET CONNECTION LOST
so... since the 10.4.6 update once my computers fall asleep the connection to my wireless router is lost. (mail seems to be working ok, when i have an internet connection...)
I have tried multiple things to fix this. Thus far the only solution seems to be resetting the router to use connect back to the internet. Once this is done the internet connection works fine, until lost or the computers go to sleep. When i wake the computer i have to do it all over again... and on top of it the post link is missing on all the pages!!! so i am replying here.
So this time I have rebooted to my external drive with the previous version (10.4.5) to see if indeed it is the 10.4.6 update that seems to have hosed this connection somehow.
HELP please, this is terrible annoying. Is anyone else experiencing this?
thank you.
PowerBook G4 and PowerPC dual G5 (10.4.6 both) Mac OS X (10.4.6)
