Cox WebMail "Cannot Send Mail"

I have set up my cox.net email account on my iPhone. I can receive emails without any problem. When I try to send a message it does not go through, takes awhile and then displays:
Cannot Send Mail
The connection to the outgoing server "smtp.west.cox.net" failed.
Does anyone know how to slove this problem? I called Cox and they have no idea of what I'm talking about. They told me that since I can send emails through my Cox WebMail account online, everything should be fine.
Thanks,
Charlie K

I called Cox and they have no idea of what I'm talking about. They told me that since I can send emails through my Cox WebMail account online, everything should be fine.
This is usually par for the course in regards to cable companies that are also internet service and email account providers but an FYI - sending messages via webmail access does not use an SMTP server. Although not very common, a provider's SMTP server can be down or having problems which wouldn't prevent sending messages via webmail access but even if both are not working at the same time, these are not related and one working or not working has no bearing on the other.

Webmail - cannot send mail

I dont use webmail often but when I did, I got the following error
Message not sent. Server replied:
Command parameter not implemented
504 <tony@getenv>: Sender address rejected: need fully-qualified address
The fix for this was to supply a fully- qualified shortname for the user in WGM ie [email protected]
This I did and all seemed to work OK.
But now since my last lot of Mail component upgrades, this issue has returned. I cannot "send" mail from webmail

Well according to your logs an email message was delivered to the admin account.
hotmail did not get the mail.Log a support case (assuming you have a support contract). There is simply too many possible causes of your problem and the logs you provided contradict everything else you have said.

"This message cannot be sent at this time." I have been getting this pop-up for 3 days when trying to send out mail. I don't know what to do! I cannot send mail from this account on any ISP. Please help!

lots of people seem to be havgin a problem sending email from iCloud webmail.
does your email address have uppercase characters in it?
if so, try creating an alias in lowercase (go to preferences in iCloud webmail and select 'accounts') and see if email sends okay from that

Cannot send mail through Hotmail on iPad

Cannot send mail through Hotmail on iPad, it's ok through bigpond though. I have tried deleting account and shutdowns x 2 but still nothing.
The message which appears is telling me the user name or password "SMTP: @[email protected]" is incorrect.
Thanks, Ron

Yahoo's been having persistently random issues for months. You can try just waiting it out, or delete and readd your yahoo account. When my accounts were affected I just used webmail to access my yahoo accounts until it cleared up.
Chances are it's all on their end and really all you can do is wait it out.

Transaction failed: Cannot send mail due to possible abuse

For the past two days, I have not been able to send mail from one of my Verizon.net sub-accounts using Mozilla Thunderbird. However I can send mail from the Verizon Yahoo webmail website.
I get this error message:
An error occurred while sending mail. Transaction failed: Cannot send mail due to possible abuse; please visit http://postmaster.yahoo.com/abuse_smtp.html for more information.
And when I click on "OK" in the message box, this second error message pops up:
Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net was lost in the middle of the transaction. Try again or contact your network administrator.
When I go to http://postmaster.yahoo.com/abuse_smtp.html, there is just a generic Yahoo help page, with nothing specific about this problem.

The possible abuse is likely a 24 hour hold for accounts suspected of sending Spam. Are you still having issues? Also what ports do you have the incoming/outgoing server set to?

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.

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...

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 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.

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?

I have 5 email accounts. On one account I receive email, however, in responding to the email from this one account I get the following message "Cannot send Mail" A copy has been placed in ur outbox. The recipient was rejected by the server?
