Cannot send or receive e-mails

My boss has a Blackberry Bold.  He is in Chile on business (from SOuth Africa) and we cannot communicate with him via e-mail.  When he sends an e-mail from his blackberry the message goes into the outbox with a little red box sign next to it. 
Sometimes he can phone and not sent e-mails and sometimes he cannot phone and cannot send e-mails.  Is this a network problem or do we need to change some settings?  He is very frustrated as this is the only of communicating between him and the office.
thank you
Ronelle

It's likely a network issue.
Does he see GPRS, EDGE or 3G? -- This is important and is case sensitive. If he's not getting capital letters, it means he's not getting a data connection. Without a data connection, email will not work.

    cannot send or receive yahoo mail or gmail from iPhone . installed ios 6 recently. tried rebooting the phone and deleting the email account and adding again but nothing works ! can someone suggest a solution?

    Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
    Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password.  On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
    See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
    Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.

  • Cannot send or receive e-mail?

    Hi,  I have a new Pearl 8130, Sprint provider.   I've had it for 2 weeks now.  Everything has been fine up until today.  I'm suddenly not able to receive or send e-mail. Everything else is fine.   Any suggestions on where to start?
    Thanks so much!
    Denise

    A simple battery pull reset is a good start to remedy that...
    With the device powered ON, remove the battery, hold a few seconds, and replace it to reboot.

  • I cannot send or receive on Mail or Thunderbird

    I have an ATT DSL wireless account and I followed all the steps in setting up my email with both Mail 3.5 and Thunderbird 2.0.0.16. I keep getting messages that the SMTP has timed out or in the case of Thunderbird it doesn't recognize the STMP. I use port 995 for incoming and port 465 for outgoing.
    I would think that if I can't get setup on Mail then I should be able to get setup with Thunderbird.
    What am I doing wrong? When I called ATT for help they told me to call Apple. You think I need to talk directly with Apple for merely setting up email?

    I reset the preference on both Mail and Thunderbird per your suggestion. I got this message on Mail when I hit 'Get Mail' :
    Alert
    There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account “Fast Access DSL” or try again.
    The server error encountered was: The connection to the server “fpostoffice.isp.att.net” on port 995 timed out.
    This is the message I kept getting on Mail when I set it up and began resetting the account
    Thunderbird just flagged a message saying that connection to fpostoffice.isp.att.net has timed out. That is also the message I've been getting all along.
    Anything else I need to check? I appreciate your help, thank you.

  • I bought my iPhone in December and it has worked until today (3/15/15).  Now it will not send or receive e-mail, access Yahoo Weather, or go online through Safari.  I suspect that it is a Verizon problem.  Any help?

    Did you reboot the phone by holding the home and sleep/wake buttons together at same time for 10 seconds?

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

    Hello Sue,
    I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
    I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
    It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

  • Cannot send or receive mail after installing iOS6 on iPhone4

    Cannot send or receive mail after installing iOS6 on iPhone4.
    All email accounts are still fine and not lost but ever since I installed iOS6 I cannot send any new email and I am not receiving either. That includes my Exchange, Yahoo  and Hotmail. I didn't loose any old email in my Inboxes.
    Can someone help please. thanks.

    I am having a similar problem.  I have iPhone 4 with the updated iOS6 and a Hotmail account.  Mail had been working after the update, but I noticed that wasn't really pushing my mail like it used to before the update.  I wouldn't get notifications after the update and when I open the Mail app, it would take much longer to download emails.  I decided to remove my Hotmail account and then re-add the account to the phone to see if that would fix the problem.  No such luck.  Now I have zero emails in my inbox on my phone when there is new email sitting in my Hotmail inbox on my laptop.  I've tried to delete and add the account multiple times now while rebooting the device and nothing changes...I've looked into other fixes mentioned here that say to change the settings on cellular date, airplane mode, push vs fetch, etc. and nothing is working.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • I cannot not send and receive e-mails

    Translated with the help of Google Translate.
    Mail: Version 7.3 (1878.6)
    Two-step verification set
    Since a number of weeks I cannot not send and receive e-mails.
    And I cannot find an answer in the support community.
    I suppose the cause can be found in the two-step verification or in the TLS certificate ... but in this I am a layman.
    The connection wizard explanes:
    iCloud IMAP Failed to log on this iCloud IMAP account. Make sure the username and password are correct
    SMTP Failed to log on this SMTP account. Make sure the username and password are correct.
    I'm 99.999% sure that the username and password are correct. Those missing 0.001% can be found in another problem somewhere else. Who advises me?
    My settings are as follows:
    [Account Information]
    iCloud IMAP
    E-mail: [email address] @ me.com
    Incoming mail server: imap.mail.me.com
    username: [email address] @ me.com
    password: my iCloud account {four digits, a hyphen, five Uppercase, 1 lowercase}
    server name outgoing e-mail: smtp.mail.me.com
    TLS certificate
    [Outgoing mail server / Edit SMTP Server List / account information]
    Server Name: smtp.mail.me.com
    TLS certificate
    [Outgoing mail server / Edit SMTP Server List / advanced]
    custom port: 587
    Use SSL: yes
    Authentication: Password
    username: [email address] @ me.com
    password: that of my iCloud account
    [Advanced]
    IMAP path prefix: left blank
    Port: 993
    Use SSL: yes
    Authentication: Password
    Use IDLE command: checked.
    I hope I get soon an answer.

    Mail box frozen. Cannot send or receive. Network connections all working. Help?

    Ernie,
    Thanx a lot. It seems my domain name ran out, and I didn't get a 'renew soon' email cuz the auxiliary address they had had changed over the years.
    That said, even tho I renewed I'm still not getting service. Pair mentioned it'll take up to an entire day to get reconnected; so I'll wait until tonight.
    Thanx for chiming in.

  • Cannot send or receive mail but connected to the Internet

    I am in a public place using their community wi-fi but cannot send or receive email even though I am connected to the Internet.  I tried using the "Connection Doctor", but that did not help.  Thank you!

    Some Wi-Fi hotspots, especially free ones, block all ports except those used for web browsing. If that's the case, you should be able to check your mail in a web browser, if the account has a web interface.

  • Since upgrade from 4S to OS7 and Macmail cannot send or receive mail

    2 weeks ago I upgraded to OS7 as suggested by the community. After upgrade, my Outlook Express had changed to MacMail.  Since then I cannot send or receive.

    Yes, you can't send or receive email without port 25 being open.  You could try a service like this to get around that:
