Email randomly not sending, no error message, Email GONE

Hello,
This has happened multiple times, seemingly at random, and it is EXTREMELY frustrating.
I will compose my email, hit send, I get the 'whoosh' sound, little spinning wheel next to the Wifi/LTE logo, etc., and... nothing. The email never arrives, it's not in my sent folder, it's like it never existed. It's just GONE. The only way I can tell if a message has sent or not is to go check my sent folder every time. I had some pretty important emails get eaten like this before I even figured out it was happening, which I'm sure you can imagine did nothing good for my reputation.
It has happened with big emails and small emails, emails sent from several different accounts, and it seems to happen about 30% of the time. I can't figure out any pattern to it. I'm watching the wheel turn now after 15 minutes of waiting for a 2MB message to send (4 photos at "large" compression and 2 medium paragraphs of text), so it seems like it's trying to send, but I don't see a drafts or outbox folder anywhere. My Wifi connection is fine and other apps on my phone are loading data quickly and easily.
I just quit Mail and the email is officially gone. No more spinning wheel, nothing in any of my sent folders (I checked them all).
The fact that it works sometimes and not others seems to suggest my settings are correct. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried removing the mail account and adding it back? Is this the only email account you have on the device?

Database mail not sending no error messages

SQL server 2008 R2
Database mail was up and running until sometime last week. It seemed to quit in the middle of a long list of emails. We had network issues at this same time that might have contributed to the issue.
Everything checks out ok today but I cannot send a test email. I do not see any error messages or 'db mail starting up' messages in the log.
I do see the Email in the sysmail_unsentitems view.
I do not receive any error messages.
I tried setting up a secondary account and that did not make a differnce.
I tried stopping the mail service with EXEC msdb.dbo.sysmail_start_sp and the query never completes. I canceled after > 5 minutes
I deleted many unsent and one retrying message from the queue. I see those actions in the log.
Is there any thing else I can try?

Have you worked through the troubleshooting steps in the following BOL Topic to validate that the external executable is activating, and the queue status is correctly returning RECEIVES_OCCURRING:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187540.aspx
Also have you tried increasing your retry configuration parameters to handle the larger mail queue that you are sending through?

Emails randomly not sending

My iPhone 4, firmware 4.0.2, has issues randomly when sending emails. It doesn't matter if it's from my Gmail account or my Exchange account, either way it sits there with the spinning logo in the status bar, and "sending" on the bottom of the app. It won't go through and I'm forced to quit the app via multitasking menu. When I enter mail again, it loads to a blank email, the email address and subject are intact but the body of the email is gone. There is nothing in Drafts or Outbox. I have tried disconnecting the wifi and reconnecting again to see if it will somehow click and send through, but it doesn't work and I'm forced to quit the app manually.
Any ideas? It's really annoying because if I have a long email drafted up it disappears! Hmmpf.....
And I won't update my firmware till 4.3 is out

Some settings:
In Gmail:
Primary server: smtp.gmail.com, ON
Other smtp server: optus smtp server, OFF
In Exchange:
Server: pod51000.outlook.com
Use SSL: on

E-mails will not send. Error Message is "server does not support SSL messages." Is this a server or internet program problem?

The last 3 times - March 9 and 10 - I attempted to send an e-mail, the above quote was in the error message box as the reason the e-mails could not be sent.

try the 2.0.1 update, I just did and it seemed to help with that issue and a few others with email, wi-fi, and a few other areas have improved too...

Intermittently cannot receive emails but can send. Error message 'invalid username or password' for my pop3 email account.

Sometime when I am away from home, I can be happily sending and receiving emails on my ipad2. Out of the blue I get a message 'Cannot get email. Username or password invalid'. On returning home it works again. Sometimes I delete the account and readd it and this fixes the problem but I'm getting tired of doing that. Can anyone help please?

Check here:
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Verizon > SMTP > smtp.verizon.net > Password
Is your password set there? Is it set correctly?

Can't send email because of 'password authentication' error message.

I am having a problem sending email. I can receive emails but not send. The message I am getting is "The SMTP server "mail.grandecom.net" (my provider's server) doesn't support Password authentication. Please check you account settings..."
I have checked my account settings and tried all of the variables many, many times already. i have called my ISP and confirmed the settings with them. I have 4 different mail clients on my computer and they will all correctly receive and send using the same settings as those on the ipad yet still get them same error message.
I am using the iPad over wi-fi.
Any help would be appreciated.

I would delete the problem email account and re-enter the the account. It is easy to make an error in setting up the account but hard to find the error and that is why deleting and reentering it is often better,

Firefox crashes most often when Yahoo is running or sometimes in midst of navigating a site and will not send an error report to Mozilla, what to do?

Frequently I have the aarp game site open and Yahoo open. At times Mozilla crashes and will not send an error message, simply brings up the restore screen. When asked to restore it never restores if Yahoo is up, Firefox just closes. At other times Yahoo may not be up but if I have two other sites up it may just dump my internet connection. Again, no opportunity to send error message. I really like a lot of the features with Firefox but the crashing is driving me crazy. A friend has had the same problem but is now just using internet explorer. I

EPrint - sending email from my company email to ePrint - still getting error messages

Hi
i just bought a new Officejet AiO 4620 and installed it. Works fine. I also registered it on ePrint. I requested at ePrint that the ePrint will only work for choosed pre-approved emails. Most of them are private ones and work. However I also registered my business email of my employer and if I send emails from my business email, even registered on ePrint, error messages come up. Any idea what the issue can be and how I can resolve it? I would like to prevent to open ePrint for ANYONE, I would prefer the option preapproved emails only. Thx for any guidance. Chris

Sending job error message to admin by email

Hi everyone...
Anyone knows how to send job error message to admin by email? For example, if crawler failed, an email is sent to admin with the error message. I'm thinking of building windows service which run at the background and knows when a job fail and send the error message through email to admin.
Is there a better way?
Cheers,
Jefi Santoso

hi,
>>>Can this be achieved through BPM?
yes you can put your transformation step
and send step in a block and specify an exception
branch and catch all exceptions that will
occur during transformations and the send step
then you can send info from the exception branch to
any other system
you won't be able to catch the error's name
but you will be able to notify any thinrd party
about the error
more on error catching:

Everytime I try to open an attatchment within an email it won't open, asks me to send an error message.

Every time I try to open an attachment within an email it won't let me open it, it gives me the window with the choice of sending and error messg or do not send an error messg.
Also, when I click on the Firefox icon to get online it takes like a minute or so for the internet to come up. Both of these isssues have been going on for about a month.
Please advise me of what I should do to correct this, thanks so much. Edie Wolford

It sounds like you have the wrong printer selected.
When you get the Print window, pick another printer from your printer dropdown. You seem to have a fax printer selected instead of a physical printer.

Not sure if this Term is Relevant towards an iPhone but, my iPhone won't Post unless if it's plugged into a Charger.

Email will not send

Email will not send , but I can receive ?

Are you getting any errors when you try to send? Or does it just get stuck in your outbox sending? Simple thing to do is reset your iPad by holding down the home and power button until you see the silver apple then just let the iPad start normally. If the issues still persist as mentioned above got to Settings>mail, contacts, and calendars and just turn of mail then turn back on. See if you get any errors if not check your mail again and attempt to send the email. If all above fail. Go back to settings and then mail, contacts, and calendars then select the email account that you are having issues with then delete the account. Once deleted select the option to add account and re add your email account back to your iPad. Let me know if this works for you.
