Cannot send mail only after switching on/of airplane signal

Hi, have my Clasic for two weeks now. I am not able to send out mail. It works only after I switch off and then on again the airplane mode ( looks like BB is looking for radio signal). Any idea how to solve this?.

Hi,
this sounds very odd.
Have you tried to check the mobile network settings (automatic provider search etc...)?
Can you test the BB with another SIM card e.g. from your family or frinds?

Cannot send mail. only receive, at home. fine at work

I have 2 email addresses and both receive mail fine no matter which server I am using. However I cannot send outgoing mail from either address when I am at home. I CAN send mail at work or school, however, using their servers.
It gets worse though, because none of my roommates are having any problems with their mail! (But none of them have macs). So they can all send mail at home, but I cannot.
Any ideas?

Most, if not all ISPs used for connecting to the internet block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network on Port 25. Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only that is outside of their network on Port 25 but some block its use regardless. Each ISP has different restrictions. These restrictions are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
If an ISP is blocking the use SMTP servers that are outside of their network, it makes no difference if you are using an email client on a Windows PC or on a Mac.
Are you using the same or a different SMTP server for each account and if you are using a different SMTP server for each account, is one or both authenticated?
Who is your ISP used for connecting to the internet when at Home and do you have access to an email account and SMTP server that is provided by your ISP at Home?
Something to try first.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for the account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below. Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
Do this for each SMTP server if you use a different SMTP server for each account.
If this does not resolve the problem, you need to contact your ISP used for connecting to the internet when at Home to determine what is required to send messages with an SMTP server that is outside of their network or that isn't provided by the ISP.
If you have access to an email account and SMTP server provided by your ISP at Home, try adding the ISP's SMTP server to the Mail.app and select this SMTP server for each account which is invisible to all recipients.
When returning to work or school, you might be able to use this SMTP server for both accounts and if not, you must select the previous SMTP server or servers for each account.

I cannot send emails, only receive, after upgrade to Yosemite today, Apple should resolve this issue. Any help more than welcome. Thanks

BTW. I have seen posts suggesting age of Mac has an affect. Mine is MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012)
The mail I am having problems send is Exchange and google mail. The google client I re-installed and this had no affect.

in response to Pita Fito
I have contacted three more people that made the upgrade and they have the same problem. My advise is not to upgrade until Apple solves the serious issue, I would hate to have to re-install Outlook...

I can send e-mails just fine with apple mail on yosemite...
Might not be a generic problem but rather a personal problem..
You should try find a fix rather than waiting on apple.
Hopefully somebody can help you out.
More than happy to help with your settings/preference pain... And compare mine with yours...
If you send some screenshots... I can send you my equivalent... So maybe you can figure it out.
Is it a gmail or icloud email acount? Can be of more help if it is.

Cannot send mail & Connection error after 2.0

Hey guys,
I'm running 2.0 on an 8GB 2G iPhone. After updating to 2.0 in the mail app im getting two errors. The first one is "Connection to outgoing server "smtp.comcast.net" failed" and the second (when I'm trying to send mail) is "Cannot send mail. The sender address was invalid".
For the first error, I remember this being a problem when I first got the phone in January, but I cannot for the life of me remember what I changed in the settings so that it would work.
The second error is new with 2.0.
Any info or suggestions are greatly appreciated
Cheers

I am having the exact same problem. Can't send any emails. Get the message "Can't send mail. Recipient address invalid" or something like that. I have reviewed all the troubleshooting information. This did not happen until I upgraded to 2.0. I am using Edge with a pop account on an original iphone. Any help would be appreciated!!

Cannot send mail after 3.1.3

I bought a 3gs 16 giga on november and everything was ok (mail, battery, etc.) After upgrade to 3.1.3 I cannot send mail anymore and battery keeps overheating even when it sleeps. I just restored as a new phone with iTunes. No way. Someone can help (or suggests me how to come back to previous firmware)?
thanks

Cannot send mail after upgrading to Lion

Can anyone help.
I upgraded to OS X Lion, and since then I cannot send mail from any of my accounts.
Nothing wrong with them. I can access, receive and send with othe Mail programs, as well as from my iPhone and iPad.
I have deleted, and reconfigured my accounts, and no luck.

I am having the exact same problem as Steve Kennedy a few posts back.
"When I press send I watch the fan for a couple of minutes before seeing the error message that invites me to select another server or try later. The outgoing mail server that shows up as being unusable is MobileMe (MobileMe). When I select smtp.me.com, I can send. Sometimes I can even send a couple of messages before the problem returns.
I'm using Lion and Mail 5.0 (1244.2/1244.3) on my iMac (mid-2010) and Verizon FIOS. Never had this problem with Snow Leopard or earlier. Don't have it with my MacPro running Snow Leopard on the home wireless network. Don't have it when using MobileMe mail on the Web, but that's a slow alternative."
I am getting REAL tired of the Lion quirks. <y desktop rearranges itself when it feels like it. Nothing consistent or repeatable. The folders just all appear on the right side and disregard how I have them organized on the desktop. I have set all of the recommended settings to no avail. A mind of it's own.
Help us Apple. Mail is almost unusable.

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.

I try to send emails after I have recieved. They are hotmail accounts. message says"cannot send mail and error occurred delivering this message. I have tried deleting and restarting. I have tried shutting phone down completely and restarting. no help...

I am trying to send emails via a hotmail account on my i phone 5 and get the following message despite recieving e mails. "cannot send mail an error occurred delivering this message"... i have tried to restart phone to no avail. I have tried to delete and re input account to no avail. I need help

Hello lclaunch22
You may need to validate the account with Hotmail. When logged in to the Hotmail account on a computer, there are instructions on how to do this.

CANNOT SEND MAIL MESSAGE

I have two e-mail accounts on my iPhone 4. Occassionally, I get a message that reads "Cannot Send Mail. A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The recipient (address) was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying."
The recipients are always individuals to whom I have sent e-mails in the past with no problem (one was my boss!). After the message sits in the outbox for a while, it's sometime sent with no further problem. Anyone else experiencing something like this? HELP!

I am also in a similar boat.
Recently upgraded my phone (iphone4) to iOS 4.1
Now it only intermittently sends emails over 3G, often just sitting there with the spinny wheel and saying 'Sending' for ages, but is fine over wifi. Including wifi provided by my service provider, Vodafone, in the UK. SMTP settings match those provided by the provider (and I have even reconfigured my account on the phone to check), so there is no obvious reason for it not to work.
Anyone else seen this? It feels like the phone is somehow not quite connecting with the server properly and then timing out.

IPhone 3G cannot send mail - Sender address invalid

I can receive email but cannot send it. The error message is "CANNOT SEND MAIL the sender address was invalid". I have turned off Wi-Fi and as well as SSL. Does anyone know a fix?

Was it working before?
Verify that the ISP you are using is not blocking SMTP port 25. If so, try switching your Outgoing SMTP server to cwmx.com (AT&T SMTP server). This option will only send mail over 3G or EDGE.
Check out this article for some suggestions as well: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1426

IPhone message. "Cannot Send Mail" "The connection to the outgoing server.

It states:
"Cannot Send Mail" "The connection to the outgoing server "(null)" failed."
This is the error I get attempting to send Yahoo mail using EDGE network on at&t.
I would guess that only 2-3 emails out of every 10 go through. The rest get the above error message.
Please help if you can.
Thanks

Well, if your on ATT Yahoo. The settings are as follows, and I've had luck both sending and recieving with these settings.
Incoming Mail Server
Host Name: pop.att.yahoo.com
User Name: *****@sbcglobal.net (or whatever your ATT domain might be)
Password: Required
Outgoing Mail Server
Host Name: smtp.att.yahoo.com
User Name: ****@sbcglobal.net (or whatever your domain happens to be)
Password: Optional (I left mine blank)
Under Advanced
Deleted Messages: Remove After ? (Your Choice)
Incoming Settings
Use SSL : On
Authentication: Password
Delete from Server: Your choice
Server Port: 995
Outgoing Settings
Use SSL: On
Authentication: Password
Server Port: 465
I've taken these setting from my phone. I can't remember all the domain names for the ATT Yahoo, but I know sbcglobal is one, and I believe attglobal is another. Also to change the ports under advanced, though you shouldn't have to, simply click the port area and a keypad will come up below. You can type the port number there.

Aol cannot send mail

I believe my problems started a couple of weeks ago after trying to set up Icloud.
I can no longer send AOL mail - I get:
Cannot Send Mail
The user name or passowrd for "[email protected]@smtp.aol.com" is incorrect
The name & passowrd are correct and it was working fine for 2 years!
I've rebooted, deleted and reinstated accounts. I've also tried setting up an additional server "imap.aol.com" but no success
I get the identical problem on my Ipad2.....Iphone/Ipad2 both stopped sending email on the same day.
I can send if I use me.com but not aol.com
Any ideas gratefully received

The outgoing server password is locked, I assume it takes the Name/Password from the initial set up screen.
I also tried switching the "automatically set Server" (for AOL) off, & adding a new one manually (Other SMTP Servers).
Unfortunately, neither solved my problem - thank you for your help

HT4519 cannot send mail error

i had to setup my email again and i am now getting the following error
The user name or password for "SMTP:[email protected]" is incorrect
any advice
Thanks

I'm trying to troubleshoot the SAME issue now, SAME device (had this for a few months but didn't bother since I can access web mail other ways).
The only difference is this is my hotmail I have set up through apple mail. Does it say: "Cannot Send Mail. The username or password for: "STMP: (emailname) @hotmail.com @stmp.live.com" is incorrect."? Well, in my case it's "hotmail.com" anyway.
I tried removing it, adding it again, then shutting the ipad on & off again. No success.
Did you get it fixed.
P.S.: This issue started happening right after one of the IOS software updates.
