Cannot send or receive emails when connected to roaming wifi

Recently I was traveling and stopped in a Starbucks for a coffee and to send some important emails from my MacBook Pro. I signed into the local AT&T WiFi but was unable to send or receive emails through my MobileMe accounts. I checked all the Airport and network settings and cannot figure out why it wouldn't work. Any ideas or solutions?

Yes. I also tried my Cox account with no success. It would seem to me that MobileMe or another internet based account like Yahoo or Gmail would work, but Cox would require changing the POP and SMTP settings. I would think MobileMe would just work given that it is an IMAP account.

After last update cannot send or receive emails - no connection.

Since last update a cannot send or receive emails. It is showing that Mozilla thunderbird is connecting, but it just freezes. When I close the thunderbird window, it closes, but not the program itself, since I can only start it again if I restart the computer. I uninstalled and reinstalled thunderbird, but no luck. The emails work fine through the webbrowser. I am using windows 7 sp 1.
Ypur help would be greatly appreciated.

After reinstall Thunderbird, DId you used the Old Profile or New Profile.
Check with your IMAP/POP3, SMTP and PORT settings.

Make sure your Firewall/Antivirus not blocking the Thunderbird.

I have no problem connecting to the Internet but I cannot send or receive email on my iPod

I can connect to the Internet on my iPod and do all it is supposed to do but cannot send or receive email. This only happened 2 days ago. What might be the problem?

Could be the Apple servers. Try later.

I cannot send nor receive emails. The message I get is that I need to type in my account password which I've done but still unable to send or receive. I get texts fine

My Iphone 4 is new, and I have been able to send and receive texts, but cannot send nor receive emails. I get the message that I need to input my password for my yahoo account which I've done many times. When I type messagefor outgoing it only allows me to save as a draft. Any ideas?

Are you positive you're typing the correct password in? You might want to try and reset your password, and try again. You'll get texts because it isn't connected to your email account.

I cannot send or receive email by 3G

I can send and receive email when I am connected to my wifi at home. However, when I am gone I cannot send or receive email through 3G. Instead I get a message that there is no Internet service, but I CAN connect to the Internet through Safari. Frustrating!!

You're welcome

Galaxy S5 Can't send or receive email when not on wifi

Samsung Galaxy S5. When I am not connected to my home (or other) wifi, I cannot send or receive email. Email provider is Time Warner Cable (Roadrunner). I don't recall this being a problem when I first bought this phone.

Thanks for any help you can provide. - Not sure of date that the issue started. Phone purchased in March of this year, and worked fine for a while.- Default email app.- Not happening with any other email account.- Able to load web pages, send text messages, can even receive email; just can't send.- When I try to send an email message, it goes to the Outbox, and tries to send, but then I get an error message at the top of the screen with the words "Sending Failed" and the message subject. If i go to the Outbox, the message is still there, but with the word "Failed" to the right of it in orange letters.

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.

Hi.
This sounds like one of the fleeting account problems that can happen from time to time, changing the password doesn't do anything and will not help.
Unfortunately it can last for a few days, so best to keep trying every few hours.
There are probaby a few reasons for this, including local anti-virus or other security programs interferring. Sometimes a router power cycle can help, by getting a new IP address in case the one you've curently got has gone stale.
Are you able to login via webmail ? (or was this actually via webmail rather than something like Outlook or Thunderbird ?).
If the servers were down, then it would affect millions of people, and there would be masses of reports.

I am getting the message that my email password and/or username is not correct. It is correct! I am the only one who cannot send or receive emails...I am the only one using a mac.

I am getting the message that my email password and/or username is not correct. They are both correct! I am the only one who cannot send or receive emails...I am the only one using a mac. i use mac mail and it is my companies server. I took my computer and iPhone to the Apple store...4 hours later they said that couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. Any suggestions???? I am also not able to log into the C-Panel...

Same here! Happened yesterday to me on New iPad and iPhone 4S. On iPad I managed to correct it by removing the account and activating it again as an Exchange account...I have mail and calendar OK!
On the iPhone nothing seems to work!
Facts:
1. everything worked perfectly for years!
2. I have the 2-step authentication deactivated on my google account so it cannot be this one.
3. On desktop everything works just fine, on iPad everything is OK with Exchange account added (after Google removed support for Exchange account access I CAN ONLY HAVE ONE DEVICE with Google Exchange account, so doing the same on the iPhone does not work!)
4. Tried to remove and add the account again - no results.
5. Tried to remove and add as Google, as Exchange, as Other account - I get calendar but no mail!!!
6. Tried to reboot between remove/add accounts - no results.
7. Tried to ("reset settings") reset the device - no results.
8. Tried to add as POP account and I it worked - I get mail but I do not need POP as I am using zounds of mail with labels and need to be working on an IMAP account
9. To make things even more complicated...I have another account which works perfectly!!!!!
Anyone out there having a clue?

When I had my old blackberry connected to my computer, all incoming emails were routed to my outlook so I did not get mails on my blackberry. How do I get it so my iphone4 does not receive emails when connected to my computer?

I am getting my iphone inbox bombarded so would like it to not receive emails when connected to my computer. My old blackberry had an app that took care of this which worked really well. Am wondering if I can do the same with my iphone4.

Blackberries were/are able to do that with some types of e-mail accounts because the mail is routed to an intermediary (BlackBerry Service).
There is no equivalent for the iPhone as the phone communicates directly with the mail servers and does not go through a 3rd party.

Cannot send or receive email

Hello,
The other day I changed my password on my comcast.net email account, and everything works fine. Then I entered the new password into my iPhone email address (same email address as Comcast). Since then, I cannot send or receive email on my iPhone. Never had this problem before.
Each time I try to send an email a window pops up and says: "The user name or password for (then it gives my email address) is incorrect"
(iPhone 3G)
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks so much

It's set correctly. I've entered it several times to make sure.
