Cannot send email with Yahoo! on iPhone

Since last evening (3rd May), I've been having intermittent issues sending email through my Yahoo! mail account. Common symptoms include a pop-up window stating:
Cannot Send Mail
The connection to the outgoing server "apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com" failed. Additional Outgoing Mail Servers can be configured in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars
Typically, this is followed by the message being place in the Outbox.
Sometimes, the message actually does go out when the iPhone says that is could not send the message.
At others, after a very long period of time, the "swoosh" sound tells me that a message was sent.
This is a new symptom and I have not changed my mail settings at all. I have tried deleting my mail account and re-adding the same, but no help. I've tried sending email from another iPhone, same issue. I've also verified that this is not isolated to my account, since my wife was complaining about the same symptom on her phone using her Yahoo! email account.
Thanks in advance for any advise/help!

Partially. Apple support recommended that I enable "push" for this account. This fixed the problemvery nicely, but it was a HUGE hog on the device battery! I've since then disabled the "push" option for my account and Yahoo! mail seems to be still OK, although it does seem to take a little longer than expected to send even small emails.

IPhone cannot send email using Yahoo account. iPhone no envia correo Yahoo.

Hi Everyone,
I just got my iPhone from Movistar Venezuela and I've found I'm unable to send email using my Yahoo account. However, I can receive Yahoo email just fine (paid $20 for Mail Plus subscription), my GMail account can send and receive perfectly, and I can go surfin' Safari with no problems too.
The error message I get is "Cannot send mail: an error occurred while delivering this message". I called Movistar Customer Support and they said everything was fine on their end...
In typical Apple fashion, the error message is so simple I have no idea where the problem is. Does anyone know how can I get more information and how to solve this annoying problem? My Yahoo account is actually my primary account...
Thanks in advance!
Saludos a todos,
Acabo de comprarme un iPhone de Movistar en Venezuela y me encuentro sin poder enviar emails con mi cuenta Yahoo. Sin embargo, si puedo recibir correo Yahoo bien (pague $20 por mi suscripcion a Mail Plus), mi cuenta de GMail si puede enviar y recibir email sin problema y puedo navergar con Safari sin ningun problema.
El mensaje de error que recibo es el siguiente": "No se puede enviar correo: se ha producido un error al enviar el mensaje". Llame a Atencion al Cliente de Movistar y me dijeron que no habia ningun problema con mi linea o con su servicio de datos...
Como tipica cosa Apple, el mensaje de error es tan simple que no tengo NI IDEA de cual es el problema. Alguien mas ha sufrido este problema? Sabe alguien como puedo obtener mas informacion de este error y como solucionarlo? Lamentablemente, mi cuenta Yahoo es mi correo principal...
Gracias de antemano!

Creo que resolvi el problema, temporalmente.
1) Borra tu cuenta
2) Vuelvela a crear
3) Ve a Ajustes
4) Ve a Mail Contactos Calendarios
5) Ve a la cuenta problematica
6) Ve a SMTP
7) Anadir nuevo
8)
Nombre servidor: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Nombre de usuario: no dejar vacio
Contrasena: no dejar vacio
Usar SSL: si
Autenticacion: Contrasena

Dime que tal te funciona.
I think I solved the issue, temporarily at least
1) Delete account
2) Create again
3) Go to settings
4) Go to Mail, Contacts, Calendars
5) Open problematic account
6) Go to SMTP
7) Add a new server
8)
Name: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
User name: do not leave blank
Password: do not leave blank
SSL: Yes
Autentication: Password

Cannot send email with new 3G iphone

Hi.
I bought a 3G phone about one week ago. I had owned a first generation iphone before this. On my new phone, everything seems to work, except I am unable to send email. I get either the message "the user name or password for "SMTP:[email protected]" is incorrect.
I entered the same user name and password as on my incoming settings, just 30 minutes ago. (incoming has worked well).
Prior to my entry of this user name and password, (since receiving this phone) I received an error message that the sender address was not recognized.
I have read through several discussions and forums, but still am unable to correct this problem.
Can you help?

Hi PRuth,
Most email accounts issued by Internet Service Providers are only going to be able to send emails when connected to the Internet over their network connection. So, if the iPhone is connected to the Internet over the 3G network or another network connection that is not owned by the ISP, it will not be able to send emails. More detailed information and tips available here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1426
You can try enabling an alternate server, go to Settings> Mail, Contacts, Calendars, tap the account> Tap the outgoing mail server> turn on the alternate AT&T servers, which can be used when connecting to the Internet over 3G or EDGE.

TS3899 Cannot send email with new iPad air. Works fine with old iPad and iPhone.

Cannot send email with new iPad air. Works fine with old iPad and iPhone. I have deleted account and reinstalled.

Thanks. I got the problem fixed. Spent time with the Apple folks and was kicked up to a senior advisor. It seems the problem was with my internet provider - Tmie Warner. Remember I could use the old ipad and the iphone to send mail. I checked all the specifics between the three units. It seems that TW is changing over from the RR.com to TWC.com. Since the new ipad air was just set up, it fell under the new TWC mail specifics.

Cannot send emails on Yahoo mail. It works okay with Safari. I set default to Yahoo but still cannot send

Use MAC. Cannot send emails through Yahoo mail through Firefox but can send through Safari.
Also issue with Facebook. Using Firefox cannot sign out of account. Can sign out when using Safari.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

I cannot send emails with pics using the stock email app on my new Droid Turbo, it holds them in the Outbox and won't send even if I move to Inbox and resend

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.

Cannot send emails with supplements anymore

all of a sudden I cannot connect supplements to an email

You have mentioned two issues:
# cannot connect supplements to an email
* Open a new Write message
* click in the compose area
* click on 'Attach' > 'File'
* Locate file and click on Open
then what happens? does it show as an attachment in the top right of email?
Can you see 'Attach' in the toolbar or is the toolbar missing?
2. cannot send emails with supplements
Is this because you canot attach the file in the first place?
If you can attach an attachment flle and you select to send, what happens?
do you get an error message? If yes, what does it say word for word.
Is the file too big, what size are you talking about?

Cannot send email with Mail app-..can't connect to AOL server anymore??

Up until today my MAIL app in my iMac let me use an email address that is from the AOL.com group (netscape.net)…I cannot send emails now because I can't get the computer to connect to the server. My iPad will….but not the desktop. I tried using a different server name; smtp.nestcape.net, which is the one I used in the iPad…but the iMac won't let me change it to that one..so back to the old smtp.aol.com……Still my MAIL app is not recognizing this or letting me connect!?!. I tried creating a new password at the wedpage of that email account.. successfully..but it has made no difference. I am stumped and have wasted half the day trying to deal with this. Anyone else have such an experience? HELP…PLEASE!

Thank you Eric for sending the links. Fortunately after I wrote this post…I don't know what happened but I filled in my mail preference settings for the umteenth time with my new email password and voila! It worked. For some reason however…now when I open the Mail App I do still get a prompt asking me if I want to use this server….and it is, of course, the one and only I have listed.!?!?! The thing that irritates me…is…that I had done NOTHING to cause a problem to begin with. I think my email account at aol (nestcape) may have been hacked and my password stolen or compromised in some way??...and perhaps that caused a glitch in my mail app??? I am no techy, but I should have started out with my intuition and changed the password first before going mental….When something like this happens it makes one feel so vulnerable.…I usually feel well secured with my lone iMac and now my new iPad…ANYWAY…thank tyou for addressing my issue and I have bookmarked those links…for future reference which I hope I never need. Hey..is that your kitty??? She is beeeooootiful!
Take care and again, thanx~ D

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.

Cannot send email after update on iphone 5

cannot send email from one account after update, states my password and/or user name incorrect. I have it written down,it's not incorrect.

After the iOS 7 update, in order to send email from my iPhone5 and my daughters (also from our iPads) I had do follow Apples reset instructions. Hold the HOME buttton and the START/AWAKE button until your device restarts and you see the Apple logo when your device restarts. You do not have to swipe the message bar which shows up sometimes as your iPhone is shutting down. Sadly to say, but on my daughters iPhone 5, I had to do this 5 times.
If you live near an Apple store, make them do it so that someone at Apple will send a fix for other people. I looked for a simple way to contact Apple and there is none. There is a series of prompts and links that are time consuming to be able to reach support about even a simple problem.

My Applemail cannot send emails when tethering from Iphone

Hi,
When I tether internet from my Iphone to my laptop, I cannot send emails in applemail.
All other internet connections work fine, It looks to be the iphone perosnal hotspot thats not working.
Has anyone else faced this issue? What is a solution?
Thanks.

Most likely because your carrier is doing this to stop spammers.

Problem sending email with Yahoo ISP

All of a sudden today could not send emails (receive emails OK) on all 3 computers on two different sub accounts using the old flash.net ISP (Yahoo). I'm using Apple Mail 2.1. Called Yahoo and had to change the outgoing mail server from mail.flash.net to smtp.sbcglobal.net and all 3 computers were able to send mail again.
Interestingly tried it on Entourage and didn't work. smtp.flash.yahoo.com worked for send email with Entourage. Didn't know the outgoing mail server was application dependent. Thought maybe this information would save sombody a call to yahoo. Terry
Power Mac G4 1 GHz Dual Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Interesting.
A mail server is a mail server, is a mail server.
Usually, the SMTP server config will either work or it won't.
Interesting that your Mail.app needs one config, and entourage another.
I'll bet entourage will need to have the new config soon, or there was something else borked on your Mail.app config.
