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

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

    After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

    My gmail, which is correctly configured for Mail with gmail SMTP and Google IMAP, works for awhile on Mail, which I leave open while working on other applications. But several times a day I get msg from Google: "We recently blocked a sign-in attempt to your Google Account" . . . and requiring me to verify my account details, re-enter passwords, confirm security settings (or change them from "disable" to "enable less secure methods" and so on). In Mail I also have tried "taking all accounts online", and re-entering my gmail password inside Mail account settings. These steps successfully re-set comms between gmail and Mail ... for awhile, then it happens again. Enough occurrences over a work day that I just quit Mail and revert to accessing gmail directly. Apple Care advisor and an Apple knowledge base article say that Apple can't deal with this, as gmail is third-party app, and they refer me to gmail, and so far I've found nothing helpful there.
    From today I also have several instances of a window saying "Mail has unexpectedly closed" and asking me to Re-open it.
    I also use Yahoo mail, which stops working with Mac Mail at the same time as gmail, but I do not receive notices to re-verify from Yahoo.
    I recently upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite. The Mail problem happened occasionally with Mavericks but is far more frequent with Yosemite.

  • HT201363 Hi I have forgotten my id questions and the recovery email will not send despite my several attempts and checks. I am now currently locked from my Apple ID account could someone help me reset my id questions thank you

    HHow do I reset my id questions if the recovery email will not send ??????

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • I set up my verizon email account on my iPhone 5, but I can only receive emails and not send them.

    I set up my Verizon email account on my iPhone 5,but now my phone is only letting me recieve emails and not send any.

    You could go to icloud.com on your computer, then download your iCloud calendar as an .ics file as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4910 (under Calendar...icloud.com Calendar), then import this to a supported program on your computer such as Outlook or Mac iCal (if you have one) and sync it to your phone using iTunes; or if you don't have a supported program, import it to an external service such as Google Calendar (see http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/30834/add-an-ical-or-.ics-calendar-to-google-cale ndar/) and sync it to your phone using a gmail exchange account (as explained here: http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740).

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    i assume the email account is your iCloud email account. have you tried turning off settings > iCloud > mail, restarting the phone and then re-enabling mail again.

  • I can receive emails, but not send

    I'm in Lion 10.7, and can receive emails, but not send.

    Check in Mail Prefs>Accounts - check that the outgoing server is correct.

    My emails will not send from my outbox in my apple email.  How do I fix this issue?

    What message do you have?
    Do your outgoing SMTP servers are online or offline (Mail > Preferences > Accounts > select account and check under Outgoing Mail Server)

  • Is there any final answer to why emails will not send when away from home IP?  Have san diego road runner.  emails send fine from home, but do not send when using another IP.

    Is there a final answer to why emails do not send from iphones when away from home IP?

    This is a common anti-spam technique for ISPs to prevent mail from being sent from anywhere other than your service location. Ask Road Runner if there are any specific settings you can use to circumvent this.

  • TS2755 My emails will not send on my iphone 5C?  Any suggestions

    My emails will not send on my iphone 5C?  Anyone have a correction for that?

    Hey pamela9801,
    I would first try out these troubleshooting steps:
    Try these basic troubleshooting steps first
    Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage (try any webpage). If you can load a webpage, then your device has Internet access. If you are unable to load a webpage, follow these troubleshooting steps.Try to use an alternate Internet connection if available:
    Try a different Wi-Fi connection
    If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
    If the affected email account is provided by your Internet provider, see if your issue is resolved while connected to your home Wi-Fi network.*
    Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Delete the affected email account from your device.
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Choose the affected email account, then tap Delete Account.
    Add your account again.
    Then, if that doesn't work, I would continue along with the rest of the suggestions in the following article:
