Cannot send email on iPhone4 via 3G

Since updating my iPhone4 to iOS 6.0.1 I find that I cannot send e-mail on my phone via 3G, although I continue to be able to receive e-mail and data, and can send and receive text messages on 3G.   I receive this message on my phone:
“Cannot Send Mail  The connection to the outgoing server “smtp.suddenlink.net” failed.  Additional Outgoing Mail Servers can be configured in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.”
All mail functionality works fine when I am on a wireless network.   I’ve tried 3G in different parts of town, ensuring that I had four bars, but it doesn’t make a difference.
This problem occurs with all three of my mail accounts (Suddenlink, Gmail, Embarqmail) from multiple providers – all of which have worked just fine for the last 2 years, until now.  I have tried the following fixes:
I have turned the phone on and off.
I have verified and re-entered all of the account info.
I have deleted and re-installed the accounts multiple times.
I have now completely wiped my phone and started from scratch.
...but to no avail.
It appears from entries on the Support Community site that others may be having this problem as well?  Any suggestions?

From the Mail menu bar, select

  • Cannot Send Emails If Not Via Home Network

    If I am at home I can send emails via my wifi network without problem but I cannot send emails outwith my home wifi range. This is because my ISP (Orange) insist that I send outgoing emails via mail.orangehome.co.uk so I have configured my email settings accordingly.
    That outgoing setting does not allow me to send emails using the 3 Network or other wifi networks when I am away from the house
    Anybody else having this problem? It is a real PITA and reduces the effectiveness of the phone significantly.
    (A side effect of trying to send emails whilst away from my wifi network is that it screws things and any attempt to synchronise the mailbox thereafter results in an error 80072f30 until such time as I delete the message or messages in the outbox which failed to send.)

    Hello Hans
    The problem I have can be explained with what has happened to me just today!
    I was sitting in the back garden and wrote two emails. (Normally my EE Brightbox router will allow me to use wifi in the garden so I thought it safe to send them.)
    Wrong!
    Because I had no wifi signal for whatever reason, the emails were sent via my network (3) and not via the EE wifi network.
    3 then attempted to send them via smtp.orangehome.co.uk (specified in my mailbox setup on my phone since EE insists I use that outgoing server) and I assume that EE then refused to accept them since they did not originate from an EE user. The phone (Lumia 920) at that point froze with the 'Sycnhronising' message static on the screen. When I went to 'email setup' I got a message to tell me that there was a problem with my email setup. Whether the main problem or not, my email password had been lost and even when re-entered, I had to switch the phone off and on to stop the  'Sycnhronising' message and get access to email.
    This was slightly different from previous situations - normally I get the numeric error message mentioned earlier. Even now that I have deleted the two emails from the outbox I still cannot use email until I delete and recreate my email account.
    I have my own email server which I would prefer to use for outgoing mail as opposed to EE and the Lumia does not offer any facility to alter outgoing ports (as far as I an see).
    Sorry if the reply is a bit wordy but I do feel that this situation deserves wider exposure as had I known earlier I would have chosen a broadband supplier who did not dictate the setting for outgoing mail server.

  • Suddenly Cannot Send Emails with iPhone via Hotmail?

    I have had my iPhone for 6 months and used it just fine to send and receive Hotmail and all of a sudden as of yesterday, I can no longer send messages but can still receive them. I get a message that says that a "Copy has been stored in my outbox. Sending message to server failed". I have been on the Internet for 3 hours and tried everything and nothing works. I know it is a Hotmail problem as I can send fine from my Gmail and Yahoo accounts via iPhone.
    Any ideas?

    Solved thank you! It was in IIS. THe UploadReadAheadSize parameter was limiting to 50k the size of attachments. The fix, for us, to increase attachments size to 20meg is here:
    C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts>cscript adsutil.vbs get w3svc/UploadReadAheadSize
    Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6
    Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1996-2001. All rights reserved.
    The parameter "UploadReadAheadSize" is not set at this node.
    C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts>cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/UploadReadAheadSize "200000
    00"
    Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6
    Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1996-2001. All rights reserved.
    UploadReadAheadSize : (INTEGER) 20000000
    C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts>
    No need to reboot.

  • After update, cannot send email via any accounts! Please help!

    First of all, thank you for reading my thread.
    After updating few days ago, I cannot send any email via any acounts. I have .mac email and yahoo email. But I still can receive emails. I have checked message borad, it said "Some members experienced difficulty sending .Mac Mail via computer email applications from 3:30 am to 6 am Pacific Time. Normal service has been restored." But mine hasn't!!! It has been almost a week!!
    The erro message says "cannot send email using this mail server, please choose one of the following server and retry again"
    My english is not very good, I hope you understand my question and any help would be appreciated, thank you again.

    Thank you very much for your reply!
    This is what I got:
    PING smtp.mac.com (17.250.248.45): 56 data bytes
    --- smtp.mac.com ping statistics ---
    10 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
    PING mail.mac.com (17.250.248.152): 56 data bytes
    --- mail.mac.com ping statistics ---
    10 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
    It seems the problem is the server, but it has been many days, I don't think apple haven't had notice this.
    What should I do next?

  • 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 email via ActiveSync when user connect from Internet (Exchange 2010 SP3 RU5)

    Hi All. 
    This is the first time I encounter this kind of issue, whenever user connect from the internet they cannot send email from their Phone or Windows Mail App, but they can retrieve email 
    But when they connect from Internal Network they can send email. I already test ActiveSync from internet using www.testexchangeconnectivity.com and it pass all tests. 
    I also check the Firewall and all the necessary ports already opened (we even open all ports) , the default TTL on the firewall 3600 second. 
    From what I read ActiveSync use some kind of HTTP POST or in MS terminology "PING" command, but still have no idea what kind of configuration that should be made to the Firewall so it can pass this "PING" command. Because from what I
    see in Android Logcat the problem always related to this PING command

    Hi ronaldosy,
    How about the work flow of Outlook or OWA on PC internally/externally?
    If only phone has this issue, I suggest ask ActiveSync Forum for help so that you can get more professional suggestions. For your convenience:

  • Cannot Send Email From iMac

    I cannot send email from any of my accounts via any of the asssociated servers, however I can receive mail through any of my accounts and servers. I haven't touched any of the preference setttings for any of the accounts so am really in the dark as to where to start to look for problems. I am using OS X 10.8.3.

  • Cannot send email on Wifi iPad

    Four months of trying, and I still cannot send email, either from home or work.
    Set up new account via iPad; I never sync mail accounts, I only use iPad Mail for outgoing.
    I had four outgoing emails in my Outbox. Today I deleted all SMPTE servers, and changed the Primary SMPTE to my work outgoing email server. Then, one of the four emails was actually sent -- but it won't send the others reporting it cannot connect to the SMPTE server.
    I am using the same outgoing SMPTE server as my iPhone and iMac and both can send via wifi with no problem. It is just the iPad that can't send.
    If it sent one successfully, why can't it send the other three?

    My guess is that your ISP blocks the outgoing servers. You might have to set up a port on your SMPT server, or use the ISP's outgoing server. We'd need more info to help you out.

  • Cannot send email when clicking lonk on web page

    I cannot send email when clicking link on web page. 
    When I would click the link to send via email I was being directed to hotmail to open new account.
    Today the tech tried to assist me and completely messed up my email capabilities by setting up
    windows live account.
    I am thoroughly disgusted with FIOS internet services..Every time I've called them in the past month problem has been with someone else whose portal services they are using.
    I cannot send emails because all my contact information cannot be moved.
    I'm paying for FIOS internet service that is almost non existent.
    THe VZ in home agent doesn't work nor does the FIOS information site.
    My next move is to get rid of FIOS.
    They create more problems then they solve with me.

    If I understand your problem correctly, you are having trouble when clicking on a MailTo link on any webpage? What loads when you click this type of link is a setting in your browser. If you tell us what browser you are using, we can try to direct you to the setting.

  • Cannot send email in mail app. using POP account with Wi-Fi

    I recently moved to an apartment that only has wireless internet access. Since moving I cannot send email using my POP account, although I can receive email. I was also not able to receive email using my .mac account, but I learned through this forum to change server port to 587 in .mac account and now I can send via .mac account in mail app. But I still cannot sent email with mail app. using my POP account. I changed no settings when I moved, and have never had this problem with cable. Any suggestions?

    It all depends on the policy of whoever is the ISP at your new location and the method used by the outgoing (SMTP) server to determine whether you’re a legitimate user.
    In an attempt to fight spam, many ISPs restrict the ability to send using an outgoing (SMTP) server not owned by them, usually by blocking port 25 for all traffic outside their own network, which means you cannot send with an SMTP server not owned by them if configured to use that port number. And it may happen the other way around as well, i.e. the outgoing server itself may look at the IP address you’re connecting from and refuse the connection if you’re outside its own network.
    Something that often works is changing the outgoing server port to 587 (or whatever alternate port number the outgoing server listens to) instead of 25 and using some form of authentication in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server > Server Settings, but two conditions must be satisfied for this change to work: (1) the ISP must not block that port as well AND (2) the outgoing server in question must listen to that port and accept a form of authentication not based on the IP address you’re connecting from.
    Independent mail service providers not tied to a particular ISP, such as .Mac and Gmail, do allow authenticated SMTP access on port 587, which is the reason changing the outgoing server port number solves the problem for them if the ISP doesn’t block that port as well.
    The following article, for example, describes several ways to address this issue in the case of .Mac, but can be useful for other mail accounts as well (not just .Mac), and applies to all versions of Mac OS X (not just Mac OS X 10.4.2 and earlier as the article states):

  • Cannot send email with any of my accounts on Mail 5.2

    I have a Mac Book Pro
    Mac Os X 10.7.4
    Mail 5.2
    I have many diferent email accounts (gmail, hotmail, prodigy.net.mx, etc)
    Some are POP, some are IMAP
    I have another computer, an iMac with older system and older Mail app. and used same setup for all accounts
    I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails on any of the accounts. I have quadruple checked all settings and all seems to be ok.
    All smtp connections appear as not connected, yet different servers, or email suppliers, this makes me suspect something else is wrong.
    Any ideas? Help would be appreciated.

    Just FYI, I've had the same problem for months now. I have been accessing my hotmail via the web, but decided to try the OS X Mail app.  I could get emails into the account with no problem but couldn't send.  I read all the blog and support entries and have tried everything they recommended, like changing my computer name to one word, without success.  Then last night, it just so happened that my broadband provider had to change out my wireless modem.  As soon as he plugged in the new one, some emails that had been in my outbasket for a month went through instantly and all of a sudden my Mail, both incoming and outgoing now work.  So I think people need to look at their router settings for the a solution to the problem.
