Email won't send over wifi

i can send email fine over wifi, but when i send an email i have to turn wifi off before it will send. i dont get an error message or anything, it just says sending at the bottom of the screen with the little circle. the same thing is happening with my ipad. any ideas? ive done everything ive found on the internet but nothing has worked. it is my college's wifi and it worked fine in the spring if that's any help.

I'm having the same problem. However, the original post was not concise. Here's what I think they meant--
When using WiFi, receiving email works fine; however sending email does not. The outgoing item seems to hang in the Outbox and never goes. It's happened consistently to me on my new phone (5s). I can cause it to send by disabling WiFi for a moment. This is getting tedious.
I went into my mail configuration and checked my settings. They appear fine. The free version of Yahoo! doesn't not include the use of standard POP3 protocol and they've wired some sort of back door into the iPhone's mail client. You'd have to pay Yahoo! to get an SMTP server address and use normal POP3 protocols. I'm OK with this as it's obviously Yahoo's attempt to lure iPhone customers.
Meanwhile, I've deleted my Yahoo account configuration on my phone and set it up from scratch. That didn't work and I still have the same problem.
As a prediction, I'm thinking this is some sort of problem with the mail program's proprietary access to Yahoo's promotional mail service and not a configuration problem. This is not the user's fault, it's something else IMHO. I'm finding it odd that turning off my WiFi allows the mail to finally get sent. This last time, I had to turn off and turn back on Airport mode also.
Very weird.

Emails won't send from Hotmail account on iphone as message says password is incorrect

I recently had a problem with my hotmail account which meant it was blocked and I had to go through a securitiy process to unblock my account and change my password. I can now use my hotmail account again and changed the password on my phone settings to be able to use this account on my phone again. However, when I try to send emails from my iphone from my hotmail account, it says my password is incorrect and the emails won't send. I am also not convinced that I am receiving all emails, although some came through when I initially re-added the account. I have tried to delete the account and add it again, as well as restart my iphone, but I am still having the same problem. The password I have for the account is correct! I would be so grateful if anyone could help.
Thanks.

For anyone else having this problem I have found a solution! You need to change the outgoing server settings as well as the incoming server password which appears on the main settings page. Go into the account in settings and select the box under outgoing mail server. Click on the box under primary server. This will take you to the settings, including the password which you can change.

My email won't send as when it was set up an extra letter was accidentally inserted in the address. I need to know how to remove the entire email address and start a fresh.

Launch Mail.app, select Mail > Preferences... > Accounts and select the account you need to edit in the left column.
The receiving information will be displayed for the selected Account, with a pop-up selector for the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) toward the bottom. That selector shows which mail server will be used with this account; to send mail.
Click and hold on that selector, and scroll down (holding the mouse or trackpad clicked) to Edit Mail Server List... and you'll get a sheet dropping down with the mail servers listed.
Select the problematic mail server, and edit it using the Account Information and Advanced items on that sheet.

Emails won't send from any account

Hi all,
Had a problem for an unknown period of time now where emails won't send from Mail on the iPad. I had a couple of people ask me why I hadn't responded and after saying I had, they told me they hadn't received anything. I checked my sent box and the emails hadn't been sent.
I thought it was just with iCloud.
I have just tested it with another iCloud account and also my Gmail account and none of them will send an email. All work perfectly on my iMac - and Gmail works perfectly on my phone.
The strange thing is that I get the sent noise as soon as I hit sent, which is why there's been confusion. It doesn't sit in drafts or fail to send. There's no error. As far as you can tell it does sent - but it's never in the sent items/outbox and never received the other end.
Any ideas? Such a frustrating problem that I've never, ever had before.
Thanks for any help,
Ste.

Oddly, the test email sent from my Gmail account on my iPad has just appeared (after a five minute or so delay).
The email however, is still not inside the sent folder - there's still no record of it having been sent.
Problem persists in full for iCloud - nothing sending from iPad and being received by the recipient.

I just downloaded the ios 6 on my iTouch 4th gen, and my email won't work, my wifi won't connect, my iPod is more sluggish, and honestly I'm really frustrated. Is there anything I can do?

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

@me emails won't send

Just like the thread title states.
I'm using my @me email address on my iPhone 4 with iOS 7.1.2, Outlook 2013 on a windows PC and in Mail on a Mac with Mavericks 10.9.3. All three of these won't send emails. They will receive fine, but sending is impossible unless I type my message on the iCloud webmail app. My focus is on Outlook for the moment, since that's what is on my main PC and also what I use for my academic Exchange account. Originally I let Outlook find the server settings, then tried to enter them manually, with no luck, and finally have resorted to using the iCloud control panel, which has also been fruitless. This has been the case for well over two years, and since I just used the webmail app, was never of much concern to me. However I'd like to get it fixed if possible.
If anyone has any suggestions as to what may be the problem they'd be greatly welcomed.

Enter the account manually. use these settings
SMTP information for the outgoing mail server
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS or STARTTLS instead.
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, [email protected], not emilyparker)
Password: Your iCloud password
IMAP information for the incoming mail server
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
Port: 993
Username: The name part of your iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not [email protected])
Password: Your iCloud password
Note that the logon for the IMAP server is different than it is for the SMTP server

Verizon Messenger will not send over wifi

I am using Verizon Message + on my S5 and for some reason it won't send text's over wifi. The service in my house is poor so text over wifi is important to me. I had a Droid Maxx prior to the S5 and it had no issues. Is this something with the S5 or is there a setting I am missing? This does work properly on my Samsung Tablet.

Hmm, that's strange eljeffe17! You should be able to send texts over WiFi with Verizon messages. Has this ever worked correctly for you on the S5? When did you upgrade your device? What is the exact error message you are getting?
Thank you,

Emails won't send via 3G if primary server is on

I have a natty problem, I have 6 email accounts set up on iPhone 5S & iPad Air. No issues sending or receiving emails on either device via wifi but cannot send via 3G/4G unless I first go into settings and turn off Primary Outgoing Mail Server - relay.plus.net (and sometimes subsequent servers) only when I've switched it off will it send normally using smtp.o2.co.uk. The iPhone as stated at bottom of outgoing server list says "If Mail is unsuccessful using primary server, it will try the other SMTP servers in succession" unfortunately I have the primary (relay.plus.net) followed by a further 7 relay.plus.net, then 2 x smtp.gmail.com, then smtp.talktalk.net, mail.btinternet.com then lastly smtp.o2.co.uk. No idea why I have so many plus.net servers nor 2 gmail servers. Don't want to set O2 as primary server incase it then fails to send using wifi.
Any assistance would be of great help please.

Hi Modular747 thanks for reply but that's not the case, after I've turned off the primary server, any mail gets sent fine on either account via 3G/4G but sits as unable to send in outgoing box if primary server is switched on.

IOS devices and Exchange won't connect over Wifi

Neither my ipad nor my iphone 5 will connect with my exchange server over my wifi network. The problem is limited to IOS devices on wifi and Exchange. The phone will connect with exchange over the cellular network. My windows laptop works fine over wifi with exchange and everything else. The ipad and iphone will connect to wifi and have no problems with web browsing, gmail, etc. I've used both devices successfully for months and the problem started yesterday. I did not do any IOS updates yesterday.
iPad and iPhone are both on IOS 7.0.4
The message on the screen: Cannot Get Mail. Server error. Contact your server administrator.
It also says: Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed.
What I've tried:
Resetting network settings (only tried on iPad, since it didn't work)
Powering off each device then turning back on
Powered down the wireless router and powered back up
Confirmed with the exhange hosting company (GoDaddy) that they've made no changes

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

ICloud email won't send (it tries to send and then freezes, send button grayed out)

I can recieve email just fine. I can draft an email just fine. But it won't send. When I hit the send button, the email window goes away and a message box appears and disappears so fast I can't read it. The email window reapears with the "send" button grayed out. Once this happens, I can't close the email window. I have to quit mail. When I open mail back up, the email will still be there and I can close it. The send button is no longer grayed out, but if I hit send, the same thing happens (i.e., screen flashes and the send button is grayed out).
I've tried deleting the acouunt and reforming it. Didn't help. I checked to see that my outgoing server is "iCloud" and that it send on port 993 and the SSL check box is checked.
Any ideas?

I'm having the exact same problem on one of my Macs but no the other.
Did you ever get this resolved?

IOS 7.1 emails won't send

I use IMAP and have tried all the fixes so far; deleted accounts and reentered etc.
When I enter my password in the outgoing server (optional) - it won't stay entered....it disappears each time I save the info.....and mail still won't send.
I can't get the password to stay in the field - or there is really another issue!
HELP!! I run business that requires I be able to send emails on the fly and I can't!

Rudegar
I probably phrased my question wrong.....I just meant I use imap verses pop.
When I go into SMTP settings, it has "optional" password, which is supposed to solve the issue
with not being able to send emails, but no matter how many times I enter it and save the settings, it's gone when I go back in (because the emails still won't send).
And other ideas?
