iOS: Unable to send or receive email

"cannot send email message using the server icloud" on 10.6.8

I use mail from my desktop, not from iCloud on the Internet. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. My mail was working fine until yesterday.
It says "Cannot send message using the server iCloud. connections to the server smtp.me.com on the default ports timed out. Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below.
The list has:
ICloud offline
and Icloud
Neither of them work.
What has Apple changed regarding this in September?
(I know others have posted similar message, but they were on 10.7)

Same problem here.
Recently an @icloud.com version (alias) of my existing @me.com email address appeared on my account. I can still send messages form the OSX build in Mail client as long as I am using the @me.com version of my email, but I do get this message when I try to use the new @icloud.com account.
My account with iCloud states that both @me.com and @icloud.com versions of my email are active.
Would be nice to know if this is a temporary problem of if this is a permanent one.
The settings on the outgoing mail server are default as retrieved from apple when I configured the @me.com email for the first time. I went through the troubleshooting suggestions as provided on Apple website, double checking all the settings, no joy. At the very list I can still use the old @me.com alias with no problem (for now)

How to stop "Cannot send email" message?

Whenever I send a message in Mail under Lion, I get a dialog box that says it cannot send the email because I haven't chosen a preferred server for my account. That's not true. For each account, I've checked the box that says "Use Only This Server." The message composition window doesn't have a place to choose an outgoing server, as previous Mail versions did, so it should just take the one that goes with the email address that's the account sending the thing, but it doesn't. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can stop this from happening? Thanks.

Mail>Preferences>Accounts. Make sure the Outgoing server is as your ISP wants it to be.

I cannot send emails without something in the subject block

I cannot send email messages with nothing typed in the subject block. I may have inadvertently turned off the message asking if I want an email without a subject to be sent as it no longer appears but do not know where to turn it back on. Any help appreciated.

First check to make sure you have data turned on and not just Wi-Fi. From reading your question you seem to be saying e mail is working just not attached photos. What size are the photos as some HD photos can't be sent. Your camera may be set at a very high picture size and you can go to settings and lower the size and that may solve your mailing problem.

I cannot send email - error message as follows : 'The sender address (my email address) was rejected by the server smtp.tiscali.co.uk.' I can send email from other apple devices, and the email settings are identical. Any ideas?

For some reason I cannot send email - all was working fine, but now I get the following error message when I try to send email:
'The sender address (my email address) was rejected by the server smtp.tiscali.co.uk'
I can receive incoming mail ok and I can send email from other Apple devices. The problem seems confined to my Mac Book Pro.
Ant ideas?

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 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 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 ->
Preferences ->
Accounts ->
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 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.

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.
