Cannot Send a Saved Draft Plain Email

10.6.2 - POP email account - I have written emails, saved as drafts (no file attachments - just plain text). When I try to send the saved drafts, the "send" button is grayed out. I cannot do anything with the saved drafts. They're stuck in the drafts folder. Ideas?

I solved the issue myself. It seems like the outgoing SMTP server settings (Cox Communications) was not set up just right. Once I corrected the problem, the send options on each saved draft became available to use. The mail was sent with no more issues. Tricky to figure out but rather simple to fix.

    Edit the outgoing mail server setting to be the same for both.
    Your outgoing mail server is dependent on your internet access provider (the one giving you the juice to the internet). Many block outgoing mail servers that do not belong to them, unless you specify password authentication, and port of the outgoing mail server. The port of many outgoing mail servers is either 2662, or 587, or 2626. Try each and see which one works with password authentication. Note the password you would use is the same for checking mail at that server.

    Assuming that you can send email on the iPad, Maybe something is corrupt in Safari that is causing this. Try clearing Safari and see if the sites will accept your email address.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Please help!!!!!! i filled out a job application using adobe reader but i cannot send the file back via email because the file is protected with a lock. how do i unlock this file to send it?!!!!!!!!!

    please help!!!!!! i filled out a job application using adobe reader but i cannot send the file back via email because the file is protected with a lock. how do i unlock this file to send it?!!!!!!!!!

    Hi kevinv1987,
    It doesn't sound like the PDF was password protected (or Adobe Reader would prompt you for a password). Instead, it sounds like that file may be marked locked by your operating system. Are you on Mac OS or Windows? In either case, here are instructions for removing the lock icon from the file:
    Remove the Lock Icon from a Folder in Windows 7 (check Microsoft's website if you have a different version of Windows)
    On Mac OS, select the file in the Finder, and choose File > Get Info. Then, just deselect the Lock checkbox.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Cannot send Mail from Search shortcut "email [name of contact]" with exchange account

    i have a Q10 with an exchange Account configured. Mail works fine from the hub but when i use the search feature of the q10 by typing "email [name of contact]" the compser opens but i cannot send. the account field is empty and when i press send the button gets greyed out. the email is not sent.
    the problem seems to be that the default-account setting is not recognised when you use the search-shortcut-feature of the q10. when i compose a mail from the hub the account-field is filled right.
    same problem has a friend of mine from another company. he also uses a different excahnge server/account.

  • Cannot send mail with attachments-plain mail its ok. Any ideas?

    Out of the blue I cannot send e-mails with attachments (any kind). Mail without attachments go out without problems.
    Very weird.
    I have an iMac, mac mail 5.2. and Lion.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Perhaps the mail server has a size limit that it allows. Might try a free web service and see if that will work for those attachments.

    I've looked through many support question/answer sessions trying to figure this out.
    Still receiving message "error trying to save message to outbox".
    I don't have Microsoft Outbox or a Live account.
    I do have a gmail.
    Went through the verification procedure and received and sucessfully entered the verification code.
    After clickind "Send", I am still receiving the message "error trying to save message to outbox"
    Why is it trying to save anything to outbox?
    Under Preferences > Sharing > Email Settings > Email Client...  It shows Adobe Email Service
    I haven't used this service for a while. It use to work fine with my AOL account listed in "email settings".
    When it didn't work today, I switched my email address to my gmail email address, went through the verification procedure, etc.

  • Having problems in sending email..always saved in outbox and cannot send mail bcoz of the server failed

    Having problems in sending email..always saved in outbox and cannot send bcoz of server failed

    The email server you are using to send mail through requires the password, if any is required it needs to be set in the location that I pointed out in the earlier post.
    It is usually the same password you use for receiving emails.
    I don't use either Facebook or Twitter so I am not sure how to help with those.
