Email virus on iPhone 5?

I received a suspect email on my iPhone 5 yesterday, which contained only a web link. I deleted it without accessing the link but despite this my phone sent out mails to everyone in my contacts this morning. I have had two returned as not delivered as they were picked up by the antivirus but assume all the others have reached their destination. Do I have a virus or has my mail been hacked? What can I do to check? Help!

Out of interest, is it likely that the hacking was enabled by the suspect email which I received? The guy who sent it mailed to say he had a virus.

Email Virus iPhone 5s

I tried to open an email on my iPhone 5s and it said that it could not open the attachment. It turns out that it is a virus. Does that mean that I now have a virus on my iPhone since I opened the email and tried to open the attachment?

There is no known virus that can affect an iPhone. However if you were to download the email to a computer that could be affected by it its possible ti will.
If you deleted the email from the iPhone then that is it your are done.
Otherwise just delete the email.

How do I remove virus from iphone 5?

I've just received a message that my iPhone is infected with rogue virus. Not sure if real or a hoax? First time in many years that I get virus on iPhone?

It's a hoax. There are no known viruses for iOS systems. Delete the email/message, and DO NOT click on any links.
Cheers,

Cannot send email from an iPhone to a Outlook group.

Hi,
My question is simple and I'd like an exactly same answer : Can iPhone users send emails from their iPhone's to one or more groups created in Outlook?
This is my situation: our organization is using iPhone to provide email, calendar, contact, task etc. to some of their employees. We are using Airwatch MDM Agent on user's iPhone because we have an Airwatch server in place. I have an user and she has an iPhone 5 and she has created some groups in Outlook but these groups are not reflected in her Contacts in the iPhone. I have update her phone with the latest update, although I was almost sure that this was not the issue, then I've found some interesting posts on internet saying that this was a known problem for the users with the previous iOS but I thought this might has been corrected with the iOS, apparently not.
Also I've tried ''the trick'' that is posted on several forums with the iCloud but neither so it's working. I am looking for a straight answer, if this works or not on iPhone's?
Thanks,
Sebastian.

There indeed ARE apps in the app store that will do what you want. Just search and find the one that best fits your needs.

Cannot send email from my iPhone or iPad. The server rejects a recepient for no apparent reason. The recipient is not new. This issue happens on reply or reply to all or froward; not a new email. What is happening?

I talked with a tech today and he said I cloud is having problems which should be resolved shortly.
In the mean time I used the .me smtp server settings which allowed me to send mail.

Having problems sending email from my iphone and ipad. Im getting a SMTP is incorrect error. Has anyone had this problem?

What is the error message provided if any?
If the email account is provided by your ISP, does your ISP have an authenticated SMTP server?
Are you unable to send email with the account using your iPhone or iPad when connected to the same wi-fi network or internet connection as your Mac with your ISP?

Cannot send email from my iPhone after upgrade to iOS7?

Since I did the first upgrade I receive my incoming email on my iPhone but for outgoing email it gives me a message that the username or password is wrong for SMTP.live.com

Try removing the account, and add it again..
If it still persist, contact the server provider of the email, and ask for the proper info to set it up.
Regards.

I cannot send email from my iPhone.

When I try to send email from my iPhone I get an error message telling me that the email address was rejected by the server. I can receive email with no problem. I must have something wrong in Settings, but all looks OK to me.

try deleting the account and reinputting it.

Can not send email from Mac, iPhone, or iPad using mail using iCloud.

I can send email from the icloud web page but I get error messages that the icloud outgoing server is not recongized when I send email from my iphone, ipad and Mac mail. I can receive icloud email okay on all devices. I have manully setup a icloud server per instructions on icloud support page for mail's outgoing server name. It still is not recongized.

I found a work around that works. Got to Settings...Icloud....account......advanced....outgoing mail server.....
Add an "other" server.
Host Name p01-smtp.mail.me.com
Put in your me.com email address as username and your Apple ID password
SSL is on
Authentication is password
Server port 587
This worked for me.....I will use this until the bug is fixed. Don't make this server your primary. Leave it in "on" status in the other category.
Good luck

Cannot send emails from my Iphone or Ipad

Hi
can anybody offer any suggestions please? Since the switch to BT mail, I have been unable to send emails from my Iphone or Ipad, I get a message saying that my password is not recognised. I have followed all the instructions on how to reinstall it on my devices including:
If you're able to receive email but get an error message when trying to send a mail (username and password not recognised) please check the correct settings have been automatically set for the outbound server. To do this:
Go to Settings
Tap Mail, Contacts and Calendars
Tap on your Account - ‘[email protected]’
Again, tap on your account - ‘[email protected]’
Scroll down and tap on SMTP
Tap on Primary Server
Check mail server address is set to 'mail.btinternet.com'
Check Port number is set to '465'
Check SSL encryption is set to 'ON'
However, I am still getting nowhere. Any advice would be great please.

I have the same problem. Tried calling BT, they were absolutely no help

I can't access email from my iPhone 3gs since changing email password

Hi all,
iPhone 3s 16GB
iOS version: 6.1.3
ISP Bigpond Cable
I can't access my email from my iPhone 3GS.
This is an iPhone problem, not an ISP problem.
I know this because I can access my email from both my laptop and webmail.
This is occurring here at home via my WiFi network and also a few kilometres away via 3G.
This morning I had to change the password on my Bigpond Cable internet email account.
Whenever I try to access email from my phone I receive the following error:
"Cannot Get Mail"
"The user name or password for "**** *****" is incorrect."
There are two buttons, one captioned Settings the other OK.
Both the user name and password are correct. This happened perhaps 4 or 5 times in the 6+ years I was with Internode and has happened a couple of times in the 20 months that I've been on Bigpond Cable.
I have re-entered my email account and connection details multiple times to no avail.
I have tried deleting the account, then rebooting my phone and creating a new account, but that didn't work.
I tried deleting the account, turning the phone completely off, waiting one minute and then after turning it back on, creating a new account but that didn't work.
I know I am entering the correct settings because before I deleted the account the first time, I took a series of screen captures from the Settings App and I also have the settings from MS Outlook to refer to.
Its as though somewhere in the phone, the old email password is being stored and being used instead of the new one, but I don't know where that could be except in the Settings app, "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" and that is where I am entering the new password.
The only solutions to this problem I found by searching are those that I have already tried and haven't worked for me.
Reverting to the old password is not an option. My account was compromised by Malware, hence the password change and a complete scan of my laptop.
Any ideas?

The problem was resolved by erasing the entire contents of my phone and then restoring it, setting it up as a new phone.

Can't send email from my iPhone...

I am having problems sending email from my iPhone via my ISP and the ISP at work. I can send email through my personal domain from these places using my Mac laptop but not via the iPhone.
Settings for the ISP should be SSL Off for both directions [incoming/outgoing] Authentication: Password and a strange config. for username:
username+mydomain.com not just username and with the + symbol and not the @ I have entered the address correctly and I get Cannot Send Mail
Sending contents of the message to the server failed.
I have also tried:
mail.mydomain.com:567 and :2525 and :465 and all return similar errors
I should mention that I'm able to send mail to the phone and retrieve it successfully but not send from it.
I've tried changing the Uses SSL for Outgoing and still no love. I have verified with my ISP that everything is correct and yet I am still unable to send email from the iPhone.
Any suggestions or troubleshooting tips are greatly appreciated. My ISP is Site5 as well.

Yeah, I read the Apple Tech Doc where it described how to add the port number so I tried 587, 465 and 2525 at the request of my hosting company's Forum userbase. All suggestions were attempted including converting the account on Site5 to IMAP and all tests resulted in no mail being sent and a cryptic error message with no useful details as to why the mail was not able to be delivered [like an error code or something useful]. I too am hoping that Apple says or does something about this in the near future.
Usernames for my ISP must be formatted like so:
username+domain.com
I'm not sure if that's part of the problem but I've been successful at creating accounts for multiple mail clients including GyazMail for Mac, Thunderbird and several other mail clients but for the life of me, I can't get the iPhone to send a single bit of information via SMTP.
Any assistance or news on this front would be greatly appreciated.
