Can't switch the primary outgoing mail server for Gmail?

I recently got an iPad and went to set up my two Gmail accounts exactly how I have them set up on my iPhone: Gmail Account #1 is my original one, and Gmail Account #2 was linked to it later to utilize its outgoing server (so messages sent from #1 look like they're coming from #2).
On the iPhone, I switched off #1's primary outgoing server and selected #2's. Very simple, very easy.
But on the iPad, when I go to switch off #1's outgoing server, the only option I have available afterwards is to click 'Cancel' - it won't let me turn it off and select another one!
The problem seems exclusive to Gmail, as my Yahoo account doesn't have this issue.
I have a feeling it's an iOS7 glich... I have iOS7 on the iPad, but not on my iPhone. Everything else is set up exactly the same between the two devices. I've tried deleting both accounts and re-activiating, I've tried manually setting them up instead of using Apple's pre-selected system... nothings seems to work.
Anyone?

The issue isn't getting the accounts online - both accounts are added and working. The issue is that Gmail forces me to use the primary outgoing server for their respective accounts - I can't switch it off and select another from that drop-down list like I can with my iPhone.
I am able to switch ON the outgoing server for #2, but the problem is that when I slide the primary server to "off" - the "DONE" button in the top right remains gray and unclickable. Strangely this is not the case for Yahoo - I can select an outgoing server on that account at will.

How to change the primary outgoing mail server in iphone

I am trying to change the primary outgoing mail server from Yahoo to another mail which is my internet provider. I do not know the steps to complete this in my iphone thanks

If you have more than one email account on your phone, you can change the default account under Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>Default Account. Note that this setting does not appear unless you have more than one account on your phone. So, you'll need to add the email account from your ISP under Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Add New Account if you have not already done so.

Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified. Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!

Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified.
Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!
So my options are:
Create a new Apple ID, use that and lose all the apps I've purhcased with it (a fairly substantial amount)
Somehow Migrate these purchases over to a new Apple ID
Apple let me change the primary ID for the account
Anyone else ran into this before?
I've tried accessing the mail through a mail application using the correct server information, and trying both the old 6 character password and the one I had to change it too after they updated the security guidelines - neither work.
Help would be greatly appreciated as I can see more services down the line not working without the address being verified!

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should not need to verify the old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Can I set my iCloud email as the outgoing mail server for my google apps email account in Mac Mail?

I have a google apps email account from an old client, all my work emails have been going to it for years. As I'm no longer affiliated with this client I'd like to make a transition to using my iCloud account for work. I asked people to use my iCloud address but as they've been using my google apps address for years it's what automatically comes up when they type my name.
I figure the easiest way to make a transition is if I reply to all the emails that arrive at my old address from my iCloud address and gradually they will start using my new address without realising it. But I can't find a simple way to do this.
In Mac Mail preferences > accounts > Google IMAP (my old account name) > Account information > Outgoing Mail server (SMTP) I'd like to set my iCloud SMTP server. But although my iCloud account uses its own outgoing mail server for its own account , it is not in the server list when I select my google account. I've tried to add it to the server list as smtp.mail.me.com but it caused my whole iCloud account to give me error messages until I force quit Mail...
Any ideas?

In iCloud/Mail, have you tried going to Preferences (select with gear at lower left)/Composing and setting a Send from address there?

IMAC: What is the SMTP outgoing mail server?

You need to get that information from your internet service provider if you are using an email address provided by them or, if you are only using iCloud, then the info can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
FWIW, in order to set up email, you need both an incoming and outgoing server address (in addition to your email address/user name and password). Those are the servers your email program uses when sending or receiving emails.

Mac mail - SSL option for the SMTP outgoing mail server - Help!

Thanks!

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "41." Please post it in a reply.

If so, this is not needed. Use the MobileMe account preset and the incoming and outgoing mail servers will be set up automatically.

What is the smtp incoming mail server for iCloud?

There is no such thing as an "SMTP incoming mail server." You set up iCloud mail by checking the box marked Mail in the iCloud preference pane. You don't need to know the addresses of the servers.

Setting PRIMARY outgoing Mail Server

i have nine emails from my primary domain, one from a secondary domain, a gmail account and a me.com account.
i am having problems with email (cannot connect to domain name) and i am trying to verify that my outgoing server settings are correct. can someone help me here. it appears that i have to get into an /individual/ email account and at which point i have an option to select SMTP server?! this then pulls up the /first/ image which shows a primary server.
How do i change this primary account?! Do i "simply" enter all new information for each and every email account and change the primary outgoing server for each and every email address?!
How do i /set/ the primary server for an /individual/ account? Do i have to enter a new outgoing primary server for each and every email account/
Do i have to enter a USER NAME that is the same as my email account name each time i enter an outgoing server?
What is the purpose of the ON and OFF buttons for the "Other SMTP Server" accounts listed?
Do i keep the GMAIL outgoing server ON? or "on" only for the GMAIL account?
I am uber confused here and am hoping for some clarification...
THANKS.

Well, first, you only need one copy of each server. cwmx.com is AT&T's SMTP server, and will only work when you are on cellular data; it will not work over WiFi. So start by deleting all cwmx.com servers except the first. cwmx.com should not have a user ID or password.
When you send mail the iPhone first tries to send using the primary SMTP server. If that fails or times out, it tries the secondary servers in the order listed. cwmx.com is a last resort server; most people don't need it at all; it is only needed if your ISP does not relay mail from outside of its network.
For each mail server that you interact with the Primary SMTP server should be the one for that server. The Primary server should never be cwmx.com. So for the universaljointdesign.com account the primary server should be mail.universaljointdesign.com, and you should enter your user ID and password. The secondary should be cwmx.com, and you should turn off all of the other SMTP servers for that account. Further, if mail.universaljointdesign.com does not require that you be within the site firewall when sending you don't even need cwmx.com enabled.
For the gmail account the SMTP server should be smtp.gmail.com, and that's the only one that needs to be on. You will need to enter your full gmail address as ID and your gmail password. If you have 2 factor authentication enabled for gmail you will have to generate a single use password.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Ask the company providing you internet juice to get online. If it is Comcast, it typically is smtp.comcast.net or mail.comcast.net. If it is Verizon, it is outgoing.verizon.net. If it is someone else it is some SMTP server that is assigned by the company that you pay your bills to get online with.
