Cannot send email from messages app

Hey everyone
I am unable to send an email from my iPhone to any email address. This feature was working perfectly a couple weeks ago. Once I noticed the issue, I restored my phone and upgraded it to iOS 6.1. This still did not fix the error unfortunately.
Any advice?

resolved part one: played around with mail preferences of user two to match prefs in user one
still do not know about access to TDM saved addressbook data.

Mail Security certificate issue and cannot send email from mail app on surface 2

well im have the same issue like others and coincidently we all started to have this issue just recently like few days ago. Please help us out as on the surface 2 mail app my Hotmail account ( The main account )
cannot send mails and on the account setting it says there is a problem with the server security certificate. So how to fix it ???

Does this issue only happen with Hotmail account? Have you tested the account in other mail programs or send a email via web mail in a browser? What is the result if we delete the account then recreate the account?

Cannot send emails from Mail App

I cannot seem to send any mail from my desktop mail app for some reason (it USED to work!!).
This is the error command it gives me:
"This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
The server "smtp.mac.com" refused to allow a connection on port 25."
I've had a look at some of the settings and a fiddle round with them but I still suffer from the same thing. It has resulted in me having to log into .Mac everytime I want to reply to mail I recieve in my mailbox!
Anyone have any ideas?
Cheers.

I just received the update last night. Now today I am also unable to send. I called support, Apple said it was my ISP, they said it was Apple. I still can't send. I think it is Apple, but limited support has not helped.

I cannot send email from my ipad. Getting address is rejected from server message.

I cannot send email from my ipad. Getting address is rejected from server message.

Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

Cannot send email from my IPad Air

I suddenly cannot send email from my IPad Air. Keep getting message that my email recipient
was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying. Don't understand what this means as I have been able to send email before.

Paula, in most cases this message appears when you are sending email from a ISP server not in the pop settings and SMTP settings in your email program.
In example if I send out email from my iPad I must be on my own isp's server to send. I have roadrunner but if I send email out using say Verizon's email server I will get a reject notice.
You did not say what email program you are using but if it is hotmail or yahoo or your isp's email in two of these email accounts there are stand alone apps which work much better than the stock email program on the phone.
If you are using road runner or another ISP email you must get the proper Pop3 (incoming) server settings and SMTP (send) settings from your ISP
You can then just go into the Settings-Mail, Contacts and Calendar section and click on the email account and change to the proper settings from your ISP.
You could delete as you were told but why bother when only the sending and receiving settings need to be entered.
If the settings are correct, on an iPhone it tests the settings. If correct send an email. If incorrect you will need the proper settings from your ISP.
It is actually very easy to do.

Still cannot send email from icloud .me address

hi. does anybody knows why i cannot send email from my ipad (ios 5.0.1) icloud me.com account? i can recieve but i cannot send. on my mac (lion) it works perfectly. the message i get is "the sender address .mac.com was rejected by the server". mac.com ?? but i use my me.com address. any ideas pls?
thank you

I have been having the same problems for the last two days now. It won't let me send, but it will let me save it to my drafts folder. I even tried opening the e-mail form my iPhone 5 and it won't let me send it there either. The last two times i ended up copying the contents from my failed e-mail on my phone and pasting that into a new e-mail and that works. I normally use the icloud web app to reply to e-mails when i'm at work (using win 7) and it is very frustrating.

HT1277 I cannot send email from my mac but I can from my iPad and iphone

Hi Guys,
Suddenly I cannot send email from my Mac. I can however receive emails.
I can send emails with the same settings from my iPad and iPhone.
Please help!!

Your settings for the SMTP server — host name, port number, SSL/TLS or not, or login credentials — are likely incorrect. Use the Connection Doctor tool (Mail.app > Window > Connection Doctor) to check what's going on with the connections (and to get some diagnostic messages), then review the diagnostics and the current settings with the requirements established for your particular mail provider.

Cannot send email from ipad?

I can receive, but cannot send emails from my iPad. Always get message that I have wrong user name or password.

Then make sure that the settings are correct in your email account.
Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

"Cannot send email from this device"?

I recently purchased the Easy Release App from the ITunes store and when I try to email the release to my email address it says "Cannot send email from this device". Is it the app that is preventing the sending or is it something to do with the iPod? I've tried sending an email from the iPod to see and it is sent fine from the iPod but the app still won't send from the iPod.
Has this ever happened to someone else? Do I have to change settings on my iPod?
I have the IPod 4th generation if that helps

I had the same problem. You have to go into Settings in your ipod touch, scroll down and find "mail, contacts, calendars." Set up your email in there. It will give you a list I.e. yahoo, hotmail, gmail. After you've dont that you'll be able to sent the model release.

Cannot send email from within iPhoto

Using OX X 10.7.5 cannot send email from within iPhoto. I get this error message: "Your email did not go through because the server did not reply."
If I change the preference to use email, everything goes fine but I lose the formatting feature.

iPhoto Menu ->

Delete and recreate your email settings.
Alternatively, use Apple's Mail for the job. It has Templates too - and more of them. Check out the Stationery...

Cannot send email from iPad & iPhone with Virgin Media

I cannot send emails from my iPad and iPhone. I have a virginmedia.com address and I can receive but just cannot send. A message keeps saying the smpt settings are wrong. However, I have followed the tutorial on Virgin Media web site (this is how I managed to start receiving emails on my devices) but still not sending. I have looked at the settings in my MacBook Pro and all seem to be correct. Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong? I had a similar problem when I loaded Microsoft Office 365 for Mac; I had to end up calling Virgin Media (useless) and then Microsoft (useful). Anyhow I have looked at the settings on the Mac and they all seem to correspond with the ipad and iphone but still cannot send emails. V V Frustrated.
Thanks for reading.

Then make sure that the settings are correct in your email account.
Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

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.
