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.

IPad2 iOS 6.1 cannot send email - password not saved

I recently upgraded to IOS 6.1 and it must have been around that time that I started receiving errors when trying to send emails. I can recieve fine, but cannot send. The error I get is "A copy has been placed in your Outbox. No password provided. Please go to Mail Account Settings and enter a password."
When I add the password to the outgoing server it verifies. I try to send and get the same message. When I go back to the server settings the password is no longer there. Why won't my password save and how can I fix this? I never used to need a password but for some reason it won't work now without it.
I was able to get it to work once from home with the password but now it won't work anywhere. If i try adding a username as well as the password it just gives me an error that the user name is invalid.
I have checked all my smtp and outgoing server settings, added multiple servers (primary, remote, etc....) and validated ports, changed my webmail password with shaw (to ensure req's for mobile access were met), tried deleting the account and setting it up again, etc... Everything short of actually restoring my ipad, which I don't want to do unless there is no other way.
Also as an FYI - I have 2 mail accounts with Shaw but use one only to send mail (in the process of removing the older one). We also just moved and cannot Shaw service at home so are with Eastlink. The Shaw account is still active and will stay active and I have added both Shaw and Eastlink Server details for outgoing mail. When I'm not home, I rely on my Bell 3G connection for data.
Its very frustrating since I no longer have any other way to email and don't have a cell phone so my main way to contact atm was via email. I am fairly certain that the issue is related to apple software and not my servers, but I'm no expert. I have read that I cannot downgrade my iOS as well.
Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.

Ya i tried that (see above). No such luck :(. Thx tho.

Problem using iPad to receive and send emails when not at home

I am unable to send or receive emails from any outside wifi location like Tesco / ikea but once home there is not a problem. Messages reads "Server unable to respond" I was wondering if it is a security issue ?

Greetings
I suspect that the issue is the SMTP server settings. On your home network you are using your providers SMTP server and all is fine (If you check your email account configs you will find that the SMTP server is set to your providers?).
When you use a different network (provider) mail will not be sent unless you use that networks (providers) SMTP server (this is a security issue to address ways of "spamming").
So if youre 3G/4G provider is the same as you home provider all will work well via your home WiFi. If you turn off WiFi and just use your 3G/4G connection to send mail (iPhone/iPad etc) all will work well (when you are out and about and using anothers WiFi network).
If you are connected to, say a MacDonalds WiFi, mail will probably not be sent. (It will be received though).
Using WEB mail interface (via your WEB browser) removes this problem as well.
(A SMTP server is what is used to send email. So to successfully use anothers (not a networks the same as your providers) WiFi network and send email via it, you must know the SMTP servers name and reconfigure your email account/s to use that server to send mail.)

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
Window ▹ Connection Doctor
Click the Show Detail button. A drawer opens. Click Check Again and post the text that appears. Anonymize any personal information before posting.

Can't send email when not at home

Hi there!
I can send and receive email fine when I am at home, but now I am away from my home I can download my email but not send anything. My settings all appear to be correct (no changes made since I left home) so I am wondering why this is.

As Andrew says, your ISP may be blocking the SMTP to prevent spam. However, you may be able to send Mail using another port. My ISP blocks SMTP on the default port (port 25 I think is default) but if you set the port to 587 it works.
So, check you ISP's help. You may be able to set SMTP to use a different port and get your mail to send

IPad 2: Cannot send email from notes

I have a 2nd generation iPad. I have the newest iOS. I cannot forward notes, flipboard, etc via email; it is greyed out: help.

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.

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.

We had a contaminated email and now we cannot send emails . our service provider thinks problem in 'mail' settings but did not want to get into that area. Can you advise how we look into this

we had a contaminated email and now we cannot send emails. Our service provider advises that 'Mail' settings may be compromised. but were not willing to get into resetting. How can this be fixed ?

Not exactly sure what you mean by contaminated, but there is currently no known e-mail that could impact the Apple Mail application as you have described.
Without knowing who your e-mail provider is and what type of account (IMAP or POP3) we can't advise you as to what those settings might be.
One way to fix it would be to delete the account from Apple Mail Preferences->Accounts and add it back.

When I am not using my home server I cannot send emails?

When I am away from and not using my server I cannot send emails. Is there a work arround if my ISP is blocking this?

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
10-07 08:12:38.714 I/Exchange(31971): Interrupt with reason 1
10-07 08:12:38.714 I/Exchange(31971): Ping task ending with status: -1

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:

Switched wireless network and now cannot send emails

I just switched wireless network and now cannot send emails. i have checked with my email provider and all settings are correct.

Depending on what wireless network you switched to if it is not connected to your ISPs network most all ISPs block sending mail from clients that are NOT part of there network, IE have an account with them.
So if you switched from your home wired/wireless network that uses XYZ ISP to a friends network that uses ABC as there ISP and you try to send mail through YOUR ISPs Mail servers it will fail because YOU do not have an account with them and you are trying to use a different ISPs mail servers. This is to stop Spam emails being sent out from other mail servers that can't be tracked by the ISP you are connected to.

NO LUCK sending email (with Comcast) via the EDGE Network

Cannot Send E-Mail via EDGE Network
My primary email account is with Comcast, and using my iPhone with any Wi-Fi network I am successfully able to send/receive email.
However, using the EDGE network I cannot send email. I found a tip on appending a port number to the outgoing mail setting (smtp.comcast.net), but this didn't work either.
I consistently get one of these two error messages:
"Sender address [email protected] was rejected by the server"
-or-
"The connection to the server 'smtp.comcast.net' failed"
I can receive email with either EDGE or Wi-Fi networks.
Any suggestions? I need to be able to not only receive but also SEND email via the EDGE network.
Any help will be appreciated!
Tim

Your other option is to sign up for a free GMail account, and use their outgoing server. You need to create your account on the iPhone using the "Other" shortcut, which allows you to specify your comcast address, your comcast incoming mail server, but the GMail outgoing server. This will work with both Edge and WiFi.

Since ios5, i cannot send email from my iPod when in my network, only when 3G

Since ios5, i cannot send email from my ipad when wi-fi but only when 3G

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?

Cannot send email using port 465 from a network other than my ISP

I cannot send email from my ISP POP mail account when I am in a different network (e.g. when traveling). This happens with my iPad and my iPhone. However, I can send mail if I turn off wifi and use 3G. The outgoing port is 465.
Using my .mac account I don't have any problems sending mail using wifi or 3G.
I have tried adding smtp.mac.com or smtp.me.com as a secondary server to my POP account but it does not work. The secondary server disappears after I add it.

Contact your isp and ask them what the smtp settings are for when you are traveling. Most isps have different settings for sending email when off their network.
