Cannot Send Mail (gmail)

Hi all, a few days ago my O2 iPhone with gmail set up suddenly stopped being able to send mail, only receive.
It tells me its unable to send and that I should check my outgoing server settings, thing is, is that they are all perfect and I have tried several different "solutions" posted here and on other forums with no luck.
Anyone else having these problems and know a way to solve it??
Thanks

Hey saddact,
Is this only happening on a specific Wi-Fi network?
Try deleting the account from the iPhone, then adding it again.
If that does not work you may want to try a reset and/or restore.

If the restore does not work, the account may have an issue, try unlocking the capthca.

  • Cannot Send Mail

    I just tried sending a email from my iphone this morning and I get the message "Cannot Send Mail, the sender address was invalid"
    For the past 3 months everything has been fine and mail has been working perfectly. I haven't changed any of the settings at all. However, I did notice this morning that when I logged into my Gmail account online that they've changed they're layout. Seems like quite the coincidence that Google changed their layout and all of a sudden I can't send mail on the phone.
    If anybody else is having this problem, or knows of how to resolve it, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

    The user in this thread is having the same issue. I am not having any problems sending mail from my gmail account after the update.

  • TS3276 Cannot send mail from my iPad...."user name and or password is incorrect"......mail can be sent from my iPhone

    Why do I get the message   "Cannot send mail, the user name and or password for my email outgoing server is incorrect"?  I use the same account, etc. on my iPhone and haven't any trouble sending mail.

    If your email requires a password for the SMTP server you can set it up in the settings in the General mail setup. Some i.e Gmail require a password for SMTP.
    Otherwise you will probably get better answers in the iPad forum.

  • Cannot send mail from any mail account

    I have a Mac Mini, late 2014 model, running OS X Yosemite version 10.10.2.   I have constant difficulty sending mail from any of my mail accounts; these are iCloud, Googlemail, Yahoo and a personal one which uses 123-reg.co.uk.  I am currently located in Greece, but have been having trouble for ages, even in the UK.  I can receive mail, but I don't seem able to send it.  Error message is usually simply cannot send mail using this server, select a different server.  However, when connection doctor is run, all servers appear to be connected and I am logged in.  Any ideas please?

    Hi, not sure why that is relevant, but we arrived at the end of January this year.  Here is a screen shot of a recurring problem, although in this case Gmail is not connected to the internet, which it usually is.  Hope this helps.
    Your outgoing Gmail servers not working, everything else seems OK.
    So, what is not working for you (other than Gmail Sending)

  • Cannot Send Mail One of the Recipients Email Addresses is Invalid

    Cannot Send Mail One of the Recipients Email Addresses is Invalid
    This is the error message I keep getting on outgoing mail. Incoming mail works fine. Does anyone have any suggestions to try?

    You mean you can receive and send messages when you are connected to your wi-fi network at home with your internet service provider as the internet connection for your wireless network at home, but you are unable to send messages with this account when connected to AT&T's cellular network?
    If so, this leans toward your email account being provided by your internet service provider.
    Most internet service providers block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of the ISP's network or not provided by the ISP unless the SMTP server is authenticated. Not many ISPs provide an authenticated SMTP server with the email account they provide their customers.
    You can do one of two things. The iPhone includes AT&T's SMTP server to select as the SMTP server to use for this email account when you are connected to AT&T's cellular network, but you probably won't be able to use AT&T's SMTP server to send with the account when connected to your wi-fi network at home.
    Or you can switch to using an email account that provides an authenticated SMTP server. A Gmail account is one, and a MobileMe account is another.

  • IPhone 3G Cannot Send Mail.  The sender address was invalid.

    All of a sudden, I cannot send mail. I get the message "Cannot Send Mail" The sender address was invalid.
    I have reset the phone in hopes of resolving the problem. That did not work.
    The mail that I'm sending to IS a valid address; I'm trying to RESPOND.
    Please help.

    The configuration and use of any outgoing server address (SMTP) may not be supported due to several factors including, but not limited to, the inability for the outgoing server (SMTP) to authenticate users (whether by IP or username/password) that are not directly connected to that Internet Service Providers(ISPs) network.
    This is usually your HOME wi-fi and you are not connected to it because you are on your iPhone away from the house. This is mainly done to prevent unsolicited users from sending SPAM via the ISP's servers.
    An alternative is to use ATT SMTP Server (for US) when you are on the 3G or data network for the carrier and not on your home wi-fi. So enable ATT SMTP server under Other SMTP servers under your Mail's account settings on the iPhone.
    If you are interested you can obtain that information directly from the email provider. This article has a great temple that you can use to ask all necessary information from the provider including "If you use your ISP’s own email service (instead of a third-party such as Gmail), sometimes it may not work if you use another Internet access point, such as a cafe with wireless Internet. Ask your email provider if the settings they give you will work on other networks."

  • My ipad3 gives me this message about once a week: Cannot send mail. The user name or password for "yahoo" is incorrect. Mail will send after I enter password. But it hasn't changed. What gives?

    Cannot send mail

    I have an occasional glitch like that (not using Gmail). If I were you and it is that infrequent, I would NOT try anything to "fix" it.

  • Cannot send mail out

    All of a sudden, I cannot send mails out from MAIL.
    I can still receive mails though.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, etc. I use Gmail, for instance, even though I could get an account through my ISP. The nice thing about web-based accounts is that they travel with you. Most have a website page devoted to configuring your email properly for both incoming and outgoing mail servers. You may have something as simple as a port misconfiguration.
    So who do you have this account with?

  • We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is: Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

    We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is:>> Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

    About ~20 hours later, this ended up solving itself. We can send email using the '.icloud' email from both the iPad and iPhone.  Advise would be 'wait' before you start seeking alteranatives like yahoo, hotmail, etc.  This definitely is a convenient way to keep all your 'cloud' information in a centralized place, including the common email...

  • Cannot Send Mail from my iPhone 4s

    I am no longer able to send out replies or new emails from my phone, this is very recent and I have tried everything I know of.. But I am not THAT tech-savvy.
    So, anyways, when I go to send an email or reply to one, I get a pop-up box that says "Cannot Send Mail - The username or password for "said"-hotmail account is incorrect." So then I go to the settings enter my correct password for my hotmail account, it accepts it, and try again. Same pop-box appears, even though my password and username are both correct.  I know that they are correct because I am able to receive email with no problems at all.
    Is this a fixable problem or should I call Apple or take my phone in directly to them and have one of the techs look at it ?
    Thanks;
    Odyssy

    Problems with sending mail is rooted in the settings for the SMTP server. There are places in this that say the username and password are optional, but normally are required by many email providers. Go back into the SMTP server settings and check all of the areas. I also agree with Doctor9fan to check your SSL settings. If you cannot get it to work like this, then remove the account from the device and add it back. As you complete the creation, make sure the account verifies. You can also check the Microsoft site to make sure settings are correct for Hotmail.

  • Cannot send mail from my ipad

    I cannot send mails from my ipad, I have checked settings with my mail server and they tell me that everything is OK, they don't know what may be causing the problem, any ideas?

    TBS2.
    There is no way for anyone to know if your problem is identical to the problem reported by maria_diaz. She didn't mention anything about getting the "relaying" message. I suggest you start a new question that gives a good title to a specific problem. Then in the body of the thread describe the problem in detail, tell us what steps you have tried so far to correct the problem, what happened, and what error messages you received.

    Hi,
    I had the same issue on my iPhone 5S.  My internet/email provider told me to uncheck (turn off) USE SSL under Mail settings, and it worked perfectly for me.
