Email displayed as not sent out (sticks in outbox) but delivered over and over

Dear people of planet apple.
When sending an email from my iPad I sometimes experience that the mail in shown as not being delivered (it stays in the Outbox) and the Pad tries to deliver it over and over which indeed works because the receipient is flodded with my email every minute until I realize this and manually delete the mail from the outbox.
I had the feeling that this happens only whis mails that are frequently replied and grow longer and longer but just today I had the same issue with a relatively show mail.
Any hints?
Ideas (not verified, but possible):
- Happens when sending while I do not have a good 3G internet connection
- Happens only with a specific receipient

I'd like to add that the idea of a bad internet connection causing may not be valid as yesterday I wrote a mail that got stuck but I realized this only two hours later. In the meantime I went home and was in my wlan (and it continued to spam the receipient).
Somehow the Pad does not realize that the mail is sent .. maybe the feedback from one of the mailproviders is missing?

  • Out of Office Messages are Not Sent Out

    Hi there,
    I have an issue with Outlook's Out of Office feature. The Out of Office messages are not sent out (to both internal and external contacts) although it has been already turned on. Only one user is having this particular issue. 
    I've attempted these steps but the issue still persists.
    a) Turning on OOO via OWA
    b) Deleting the current profile and creating a new profile
    Could anybody help me in this?

    Hi Vinod,
    You issue might be related to this:
    "By default, the out-of-office reply to Internet recipients (external senders) is turned off. Many administrators do not allow out-of-office replies to be sent outside the Exchange Server organization, so that unauthorized people do not
    know when users are out of the office. "
    You might want to follow the steps in below KB article to turn on out-of-office replies to the Internet or contact your administrator to check so:

    It's recommended to download and install
    Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

  • Mail delivery failure messages for email I have not sent to contacts I do not know.

    I am receiving Mail delivery failure messages for emails I have not sent; they are addressed to contacts I've never heard of, many different. Apparently, this is some kind of spam but I don't know what to do about it.

    There is nothing you can do about it. It will stop at some point.

  • Emails will not stop coming into Inbox. Even when deleted duplicates reappear over and over.

    I am trying to find out how to stop this. It happens with all of my mail accounts, not just one.
    I have tried deleting the accounts and setting them up again, but I have the same problem.
    All of my new mail will load, over and over, this never stops unless i 'take all accounts offline'. I have been unable to check my emails due to the volume of emails coming into my inbox.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    What kind of account? IMAP, POP, Gmail?

    Susan,
    Quit Calendar, click on your card in Contacts, and select Contacts>Card>"Make This My Card."
    If that is not successful, delete, and recreate your card. Then once again make sure to designate it "Make This My Card."

  • How do you get Firefox to remember the response sent to remember password for a site and then not ask the same question over and over?

    How do you get Firefox to remember the response sent to remember password for a web site and not ask over and over? The desktop version has a dialog box that you can check that says "Don't ask me this again". The mobile version doesn't. A real pain!
    Thankx

    You can switch off or uncheck the remember password in your settings :-)

  • TS3899 Why do I keep getting emails downloaded over and over again. It seems that iCloud does not recognize when the emails have already been downloaded to my iPad.

    Why do I keep getting mails from iCloud over and over again? It seems that iCloud does not recognize that the emails were previously downloaded.

    Does the iPhone NOT tell iTunes if you've played a track or not?
    Yes, but the entire track must be listened to - until the track ends.
    A song is not marked as played until the song has completed and the iPod starts playing the next song. The song must be played until the very end, and the same with a podcast.

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • Voice memos keeps emailing the same memo over and over.

    I used voice memos just once two days ago. I created a short (30 secs) memo and emailed it to my yahoo account. The file keeps getting sent to my inbox. 20 times so far! I've deleted it from voice memo but it keeps getting sent. HOW DO I STOP IT! Anyone else had this problem? I'm with virgin mobile in Australia.

    I have had this exact same problem. Over the past few days I've been e-mailed the same voice memo at least 50 times. I also have a yahoo account, maybe this has something to do with it. I even deleted the voice memo from my iPhone but it continues to be e-mailed over and over.
    I don't have a solution, just wanted you to know it's happened to me too.

    Error 1 indicates a serious hardware failure.  Take the device to Apple for evaluation.

  • I touch music shuffle not working. Same song plays over and over. How do I fix?

    The shuffle for my iTouch is not working.  It ontinues to play the asme song over and over.  I have powered on and off many times as well as re-syncing the unit.  I would try to take the battery out to reset but do not know how.  What next?

    Sounds like the Repeat option has been enabled.  To disable it, tap the artwork of the currently playing track to bring up the additional controls.  Under the scrubber bar on the left hand side is the repeat setting.  Tap it until it turns white meaning that it is off.

  • After installing Mavericks I started to receive my email over and over again.

    (Mail on Mac) I am experiencing a disturbing problem I can't find a previous mention of. Hopefully there's someone who has already been able to solve this.
    My email is, on my wish, (Webmail UPC) not removed from my providers server after download, this for security reasons. I suppose after installing Mavericks the following event repeats itself again and again. What happens is that the email messages received are first seen in their correct alias(account) under/in the Incoming box. Next the same messages (after a period of time or/and after one or more times restarting Mail, this is unclear) are received again within an alias of that account, however the re-received message can be delivered in another alias(account) for example, an emailaccounts given alias, lets say, alias 1a receives a message again... while the original message was addressed to that emailaccounts alias 1b or 1c etc. But alias 1a also gets the message sooner or later. Thus I keep receiving the same messages over and over again in time. Does anyone recognize this problem and even better is there a solution. Thanks.

    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    Or...
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
