Cannot send email from AOL account on iPhone

Went through this back in January  after the operating sustem upgrade and Tiger's fix solved the problem, but is on longer working.  I've also tried entering the information manually rather than through the AOL button on the add accounts page.  Help!

razmee209 (and others in this community)... HELP!
I have the same issue - I can receive email on my iPhone, but cannot send messages.   Keep getting error message:  (Cannot Send Mail - The user name or password for "SMTP:[email protected]" is incorrect
This issue occurred when I changed my AOL password.   I also updated my password on my iPhone.   After exploring this issue more deeply, it appears that my iPhone did not update my password for outgoing mail (as that are more "dots" in the password field for my outgoing server account, than for the incoming server passward that was just updated.
I am unable to change ANY of the information or settings in any of the outgoing mail server accounts - except only to toggle each account ON or OFF.   All other information is "greyed" out, and unavailable and inaccessible.
I know that if I could just change (or somehow sync) the outgoing password to match the new incoming password.
PLEASE HELP!!

  • Cannot send email from yahoo account on iPhone 5

    I just got an iPhone5 and I couldn't set up my Yahoo email as "yahoo"--it would not allow me to complete the process despot multiple attempts. I had to set it up as an "other" account. I can receive and read emails on my phone, but when I reply those messages will not send. They go to the outbox and an error message pops up that says" the email account has been rejected by the server" Does anyone have advice on either issue: setting up yahoo properly and/or sending email from phone?

    outgoing mail server
    SMTP - Yahoo! SMTP Server
    primary server
    Yahoo! SMTP server - ON
    server port 465
    That's what I have for my yahoo account.

    You can try deleting the account on your iphone and setting it up again.

  • I cannot send emails from my IPad and IPhone

    I cannot send emails from my iPad or iPhone, but can receive them.  I can send from my iMac using the same settings and network...  Ideas?

    What is your iOS version? Try deleting the account in Mail and setting it up again. Repeat in second device if successful/necessary.

  • Cannot send email from pop account when in 3G, will send in WIFI

    I cannot send email from pop account when in 3G, will send in WIFI.
    I thought it was the SMTP server first.. but when i config my WIFI, suddenly the emails that i tried to send, left my outbox and sent.
    Any idea's

    The SMTP server you are using with Wi-Fi would be the outgoing server of your internet service provider... this is likely why that's working.
    SMTP servers specific to a ISP would not work on the 3G network. You would probably need another SMTP server. One from your cell provider?

  • I cannot send email from my account.

    I cannot send email from my account.  Connections Doctor reports that I am signed in and connected.  I I have updated all of my keychain information and my passwords are current. 

    Hi there,
    It sounds like you have already done a few of the steps, but I would still recommend reviewing the troubleshooting process found in the article below.

  • Failure sending email from MobileMe account on iPhone

    I cannot send emails from my mobileme account on my iPhone, the following error appears: connection to the outgoing mail server 'smtp.me.com' failed.
    I have my gmail account set up and this works fine, any ideas?
    Thanks

    One thing that might help out.
    Try a reset by holding down the home button and power button at the same time until you see an apple logo.
    If the reset does not work, one more thing to try.
    Remove the account from the iphone by going to settings > mail, contacts calendars > your MobileMe account.
    Scroll to the bottom and tap the delete account button.
    Reset the iphone by using the 2 buttons again.
    Now set the MobileMe account back up on the iphone.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I fix Mail in Snow Leopard where I cannot send emails from my account to another account I've set up in Mail, but the reverse works fine?

    I have a problem with Mail in Snow Leopard in that I cannot set up two email accounts for myself and my wife with the same ISP and have them operate properly.  I've set up the accounts in strict accordance with my ISP's instructions for setting up email accounts on Mac Mail but I cannot send an email from my account to my wife's without a drop-down message appearing that Mail 'cannot send the email from this server.  Please edit the server list'.  No amount of tweaking appears to work.  Applecare consultants have so far been unable to get it to work and a recent visit to the local Genius Bar in the Apple Store was fruitless also.  My ISP's help line was unable to solve the problem even with a supervisor level consultant.  The ISP concluded it was some kind of 'bug' in Mail.
    I could send emails from my wife's account to mine, but not vice versa; I could send emails to other addresees without any problem and I can send emails from my account to my wife's using the ISP's webmail.
    Does anyone please have a solution to my problem?  At the moment we're operating one account (mine) on my Macbook and my wife's is set up on her iPad2.  As we prefer to use the Macbook for storage and (using Time Machine) for back-up of our data, the two accounts on separate machines is a nuisance.
    Another factor is that I prefer to control when I download emails and set my preferences accordingly.  One of the so-called 'fixes' that were tried wound up downloading emails regardless of settings, even after removing my wife's account; the matter was remedied only after I had removed all accounts form Mail and started afresh from scratch.

    You'll have to pardon my ignorance of some  computer terminology; I'm a retired manager and not a computer technician, hence my muddling up of client and server terminology.
    Re your comment about Port 339: I did qualify this with (?).  As I wrote, it all happened at lightining speed and the guy at the Genius Bar didn't bother explaining what he was doing.  Port designation contained 3s and 9s to the best of my recollection.
    That said, you seem to be spot on re setting up a 'dummy' client in Mail.  I set it up as you suggested and I can send to and receive from this client without a problem.  You appear to have identified the solution, notwithstanding the claims of the ISP's 'experts'.
    The next problem I have now is sorting out my wife's mailbox that is so troublesome whenever I set it up on Mail.
    All the other set-up advice to date yielded a similar result; inability to send from my account to her inbox.  Perhaps deleting her details from the account altogether and setting them up again from scratch may be the solution and I shall try that in due course.  The impediment that I have with this at the moment is that my ISP admits that it has 'a technical problem with its email servers' and some of its related web pages that prevent my doing this myself.  I will have to go through the telephone 'help' line and ask the technician to set it up at their end on my instructions.  This has some disadvantages in that I have to divulge the password to the account to the operator rather than keeping it anonymous by doing it on-line.   You may have solved the problem, but until I can successfully sort out a working mailbox for my wife i cannot definitively say so.
    Many thanks for your perseverance.  You've made more sense than anyone else so far and that deserves some points, surely?

  • Cannot send Emails from AOL (Mail App) Only Recieve

    For some time now i cannot seem to send emails from my AOL on the app (Mac Mail). I can receive ok, but not send. It remains in my outbox then a message appears:
    Cannot send message using the server AOL
    This operation couldn't be completed (MCMaiErrorDomain error 1030)
    I then run the Connection Doctor:
    I get a Green light for Incoming mail (AOL IMAP)
    I get a Red light for outgoing (AOL SMTP)
    The message i get is:
    'Trying to log in to this AOL SMTP account failed. Verify that the username and password are correct'
    I have tried all the trouble shooting regarding checking the passwords, changing the passwords. Uninstalled and reinstalled. I can log on via the web ok and send and receive  . I believe it happened when i updated the computer some time back because my Macbook does the same now as well as this iMac.
    In the Outgoing Mail Server SMTP it reads: AOL (Offline)
    In the drop down i goto edit server and this is what is showing:
    Description    Server Name     In Use By Account
    AOL                 smtp.aol.com      AOL
    In the Advanced section i have Port: 587
    Box checked for 'SSL'
    Box checked for 'Automatically detect and maintain account settings'
    Box unchecked for 'Allow insecure authentication'
    Any help would be much appreciated as this is becoming extremely frustrating

  • Cannot send emails from mail account.

    Hello everyone,
    I've had this problem a while, that basically when i send an email from my account it says
    Cannot send message using the server xxxxxxxx
    when i try other servers it still doesn't work and i get the same error message. I have other computers on which mail works from the same server, same port same password etc. so why doesn't this work.
    If you can help me i will be eternally greatful as i won't have to keep jumping on someone elses computer to reply to mail.
    Thank you in advance
    Fred

    Hello Fred.
    If you’re sure your settings are exactly the same as on the computers where it works, here a couple of things that you may want to look at.
    Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
    Also, try using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible, or connecting the computer to Internet as directly as possible, i.e. bypassing any routers that might be present, using an ethernet cable instead of wireless, etc., and see whether that makes a difference.
    Mail keeps information about outgoing servers in a separate list, independently of any specific mail account. The account settings just associate one of the available outgoing servers with each account. Orphaned or dangling outgoing server entries (i.e. not associated with any account) sometimes cause weird sending problems.
    Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP), choose Edit Server List from the popup menu, and delete any servers that shouldn’t be there. The Edit Server List panel shows the account each outgoing server is associated with.

  • Cannot send email from MobileMe account

    Apple recently pushed out an update to the MobileMe calendar. Since upgrading my account, I am unable to send emails from Firefox4 (current version) in Windows. The page sits indefinitely at a loading screen. Apple Support won't help because it isn't an issue with Safari. Anyone else have this issue?

    When using the MobileMe account preset to create the account, the SMTP server is created with 587 as the SMTP server port, which can't be changed when using the MM account preset to create the account.

  • Cannot send email from 3 accounts Mac Pro

    My brand new Mac Pro cannot send email using Gmail, Shaw, or iCloud.  At times I can send a simple test message, other times I cannot send.  It seems the more data in the email, it for sure cannot be sent.  The sent messages get stuck in the Out Box.  Full green lights, no red lights in the connection diagnostics window.  Any help in this regard will be much appreciated.

    thank you for your reply, I did this with the same problem.  Turns out that I went to FAQ section and went to the "Sharing" section of "system preferences"  and changed my computer name by removing all spaces and apostrophe where it lists my computer name under Mac Book Pro, and problem solved.

  • Cannot send email from sbcglobal account

    Does anyone from Apple take what's discussed here back to a department that is useful in getting bugs fixed? I hope so. I am making this post although I know that NONE of you have an answer to my question that is satisfactory. I will come back to this thread as often as possible in hopes that the next update my finally fix my issue. For the love of all things, I just want to send email via IMAP like this article says I should:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306074
    To be clear for you all, I've set up my sbcglobal account as detailed above...ie, using yahoo. This worked great for me until I applied the 1.0.1 update. Since then, I cannot send an email to save my life. Though receiving has worked just great.
    I am well aware that I can set up my sbcglobal account using pop3/smtp. This is an annoying work around to me, not a solution. If I set it up using pop3, I loose all kinds of ability I had with IMAP. This is a documented feature that is supposed to work on the iPhone, and it doesn't. I see no reason I should have to go back to an older technology/protocol.
    I've submitted multiple comments on the iphone about this. I just pray that someone at Apple fixes this soon. I'm so frustrated, and of course way past my point of returning the dang phone.

    Here's the response I received from Yahoo following the link you posted. As usual, nothing that moves the problem closer to a solution. First, there is an attempt at deflecting the problem by pointing out all the other great services Yahoo offers. Note the operative word "some". That's the whole reason I am writing the note. I already know that "some" of the services are working. I'm wondering about the one that doesn't so this doesn't help. Next comes pass the buck. Go talk to Apple about it. No comment on that one, it speaks for itself. And finally, if none of that works please give me more information. I'll call that reflection. So now its back to me. I think I'll take the ball and go home. For what its worth the response is below:
    I understand that you are having issues with the Yahoo! Mobile service.
    I understand that your sbcglobal.net accounts are not working with the
