Can't send messages using 4s with iOS8

Wasn't able to send any messages right after I downloaded iOS 8 so I restored network settings and it fixed the problem. However I am having the same issue now and I do not want to have to go through this every couple of days. Any one else have this issue and find a resolution?
Applies to both wifi and over 3g.

Error Message: "Can't Send Message using the Server UCPB GEN"

Frequently i can't send emails from "UCPBGEN" "Gmail", "MSN" and "Yahoo". There are times i can, without changing any setting. The error message i am get is "Can't Send Message using the server..."
When i check connection doctor, they are all green.

What OS are you using?
Double-checking all settings is good. Along the way, one thing to try:
Have a look at your SMTP server settings to see if the port is set to "default" or "custom". If it is "default" try switching to custom using one of the numbers listed under "default". That fixed it for me on one of my accounts.

Can't send messages using pop account

Hello,
I can’t send mail with some of my pop accounts using mail app. I have a .mac and a Yahoo account both work perfect. The other POP accounts don’t send. I get an error that says, “Cannot send message using the Server xxxxxxx” I check the setting and they are fine. It stop working a couple of days ago. I didn’t make any changes on the accounts settings.

I had the same problem until I called Earthlink support – it's your ISP's problem not yours. They will help you open a new POP account and set a new port (in the advanced option in preferences) to authorize your ability to send mail. I have no idea whether Yahoo is as helpful as Earthlink. They may not be because they're free.

Can't send messages using third-party keyboards

Hello all - I'm using Skype for iPad on iOS 8.1.. I've decided to install Swiftkey keyboard and since I've done that, I've noticed that I can't send messages. After writing them down, "send" button doesn't show up, until I switch back to default iOS keyboard.
Have you seen this issue?
Thanks,
Daniel.

I have the same problem with SwiftKey and skype on ipad. I'm able to send messages doing a trick but it's a bit annoying. You can tap on the text field so the keyboard comes out, flip the ipad between vertical and horizontal, tap anywhere so the keyboard disappears and then tap again on the text field. The send button will show up.
Not ideal at all but at least you'll be able to send messages until the issue is resolved

Can't Send messages using mail on Bell South DSL

My parents are using Bell South DSL and a Net Gear Wireless Router. I have a Linksys Wireless Router living in GA and everything works fine. Any ideas what is going on here?
I receive all my email, I just can't send messages.

Ernie,
Greetings! I found this thread after trying in vain to set up my mom's email, which also stopped working with Bellsouth after the upgrade to 10.5 (now on 10.5.1). Email conversion was fine, and she, like others here, could receive mail but not send it.
I have followed the directions here to the letter. Still no such luck. To clarify, mail.bellsouth.net, port 25, no authentication is the only entry in her outgoing mail server list (and it's selected). Moreover, when she checks Connection Doctor, it passes with flying colors - even connecting for outgoing email.
Still pondering this one. I'm about "this close" to getting her a Gmail account (which I tested using my account - and it works fine, even IMAP). Of course if she can keep her existing account I think she'd prefer that, but I say go with whatever works ... !
Other troubleshooting thoughts welcome!

Why can't send message to friends with imessage?

I tried to send messages to my friends with my touch, but after i typed in my friend's Apple ID (email address), it said this user has not registered. I have tried several other friends, but it did not work either. However, friend succeeeded in sending me a message. What is the problem? What is wrong?

Hello,
if you didnt find a solution yet, i'd like to ask if you enabled iMessage on your device? to enable it, you must first disable it, then enable again, just once, then you can use it, you friend should also do it...
i had this problem at first too, then searched on the web, and saw that we had to do this first...

How can I send messages using iPad

I recently added my iPad onto my cellphone account. ATT gave it a SIM card and phone number. Seems like the only devices that I can send messages to are other Apple products. Is it possible to send to none Apple cellphones? I even tried sending a message to a relative on my service and it did not go through.
Any advice or help would be a blessing!

Messages is an Apple app that only works with other iOS devices. You cannot send a text from the iPad to a non iOS device or any other cell phone or smartphone.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (step 1 should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive
2) Reboot
Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. IF this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
Good luck!

I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account. Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my account every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail. I cannot edit the outgoing server; how can I send emails?

I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account (3 email addresses). Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my accounts every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail (the message says that the outgoing server was rejected. I cannot edit the outgoing server, and the keychain will not save my passwords (the ports are valid). How can I change the outgoing server to send emails, and how can I avoid having Mail request my passwords every 2 minutes? Verizon, as usual, will not provide support to iMacs.

Is there an email saved in your drafts or outbox folder? I suspect that Mail is continually trying to send it, and each time Google is rejecting the email message.
You can open the message and then delete it from your Outbox folder. Then try removing all @gmail email addresses from it and seeing whether you can send to the other folks. I suspect that will work.
With email, if an SMTP server *can* verify email addresses, sometimes it will and it will refuse to send messages. If a message has to be relayed across servers, no verification is done, and you'll get a bounce if an email address is bad.

I tried to send a mail message to too many addees. when the rejection came back "cannot send message using the server..." the window is too long to be able to see the choices at the bottom of it. how can i see the choices at the bottom of that window?

I tried to send it through gmail and the acct is a POP acct
I'm not concerned about sending to the long address list. I just can't get the email and window that says "cannot send emai using the server..." to go away. The default must be "retry", because although I cannot see the choices at the bottom of the window if I hit return it trys again... and then of course comes back with the very long pop up window that I cannot see the bottom of so I can tell it to quit trying...

I can't send messages with mail 6.0 of mountain lion, because I can't desactivate the option SSL (Secure sockets Layers); it is locked

Hi, i am having the same problem. this is what i have noticed.
I have 2 x imac's and 2 x macbook air's
i upgraded the 2 macbook air's and 1 of the imac's to Mountain Lion, all these have problems acessing sites that require you to login .
the one remaining imac is still running lion and works perfect.
i am using a dlink router with DD-WRT firmware, i tested teathering from my iphone and i can log into websites fine using the newly upgraded mac's.
It's not a wireless issue as my imac is using an ethernet connection.
is there a compatibility issue with some routers.
