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.

TS3899 iPhone 4s IO6; Emails won't send from any account when they have images attached..

Since upgrading to IO6, my phone has been struggling to send emails.. The problem is at its worst when I attach images. I have three accounts (aol, gmail and ME) on the phone and the issue affects all of them. I have rebooted the phone / deleted and re-installed the accounts and the problem persits..
After much presistance most emails will go through, but it can take hours to get them to send..
The issue was not present with the previous software..
Any help would be much appreciated as I need to send photos on a daily basis !!

You may want to delete the email account and try setting it up again. Once you have deleted it, re-start your phone.
Set it up manually and do not use the wizard.
It is best to go through settings >mail contacts, calendars > add account… > don’t choose the BT or BTYahoo option, tap the ‘other’ option from the bottom of the list > Add Mail Account and enter the following details:
Name – it can be anything you want, but usually your real name is preferable
Address – your full BT Internet email address
Password – your email account password
Description – this can be used if you have more than one email account on the device but put something like ‘work’ or ‘BT Internet
Press “Next” and allow the verification (this may take a few minutes)
On the next screen it will want you to input incoming and outgoing mail server details:
Tap ‘IMAP’ at the top,
Incoming mail server settings:
Host name: mail.btinternet.com
Username: your full BT Internet email address
Password: your email account password
Outgoing mail server settings:
Host name: mail.btinternet.com
Username: your full BT Internet email address
Password: your email account password
Press ‘next’
Slide the notes and mail to be ‘on’ and press ‘save’ in the top-right
Check your email on the device and see if it is working. Try sending yourself a message and see if it arrives. If messages are not able to send do the following:
Additional setting changes
Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > tap your BT email account > a window will appear, tap on your email address > scroll down to the bottom of the window and tap where it says ‘SMTP’ > tap the primary server (which should be mail.btinternet.com) >make sure the following is on or enabled:
‘Use SSL’ should be ‘ON’
Authentication should be ‘password’
Server port should be ‘465’
Press ‘done’ in the top-right
Now do back to your emails and see if you can send

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.

Mail won't send (on any account)...

Hey,
I've been using Mail alright. Everything worked just fine and now it stopped working. I can still receive mails on all accounts but it won't send on any of my five accounts. All the settings are okay (including port). Nonetheless does mail say "Can't send mail via server XY" (freely translated from german).
Please help me.
Julian

I am having this same problem. I have checked the settings, the ports, the passwords, etc. a million times. I receive mail, but can't send it. I finally got smart and checked my settings, etc. and set up my email accounts using Entourage instead of Mail. Guess what? It all worked perfectly fine. There is something messed up with Apple's Mail program in its latest iteration, I think. Does anyone know anything about this?

P.S. Mine is a .Mac email account. My ISP is att. It's been this way for five years. Now, with a new computer, it all has gone to the dogs. Grumble.

Outlook 2010 - Multiple Exchange Accounts - Won't send from second account

I've setup multiple exchange accounts in Outlook 2010. I receive fine for both accounts, but cannot send from second account. Sent email goes to the Outbox and stays there.
I've tried going back to a second profile, and it works fine. Mail in Outbox from efforts above stay in Outbox. If I pull them up, I can resend with no issue.
I need to be able to send with multiple accounts in same profile to do other projects I'm currently working on. Any ideas???
Thanks,
Mike

I was able to fix this with Outlook 2010 Service Pack 1.
Another area that I had to change was the inbox for that other account I created a rule to put in the primary inbox folder (email 2).
After that the email was only checking one to send and recieve based on the highlighted account, so to resolved that I went to Send/Reveive Groups > Define Groups > Edit Account Properties and made sure they refresh every 1 minute(s).

Emails won't send from phone

Just found out that people are not receiving any emails that i send from my phone. Not sure why and have no idea how long it has been going on. Could be as long as I have had the phone. How do I fix this?

First contact your isp or email provider to get the correct pop3 and smtp server settings. Write them down. The under setting up email in your owners manual follow the instructions on setting up email. after the correct settings are entered and you put in your email login and password you should be good to send and receive email.
Good Luck

Can't send emails on my S5. Sends fine from gmail, but won't send from verizon account. Keep getting "Sending Failed" message.

My S5 won't send emails from my verizon email account, which is the default email for my phone. It will send fine from gmail, but when I try to reply to messages in the verizon account, I get a "Sending Failed" message and an eternal loop from my outbox trying over and over to send the message. Does anyone know how to fix this? I took it to the Verizon store for help, and they were completely useless.

The tech help is useless. You have to load it manually but you must know the ports to use for both sending and receiving. You must get them from your Verizon fios account. This worked for me.

My emails won't send from my primary email address.

Why can't I send emails from my primary account. I can receive emails. I have checked my settings and that's not the problem.

Hello Noony88,
I understand you are not able to send emails from your primary email account. Is this an iCloud email account? Are you able to send messages from your email account provider's website? Are you able to send email from your computer or another iOS device? Is there a message sitting in the Outbox for your email account that is not able to be delivered for some reason (ie. file size)? These are a few factors to consider.
Here are some troubleshooting steps to try:

If you experience issues sending or receiving mail on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Check the System Status page to find out whether any known issues are affecting iCloud Mail.
Make sure that you're connected to the Internet: try opening a webpage such as apple.com in Safari on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Go to iCloud.com on a Mac or PC to verify that you can receive email for your iCloud account.
Make sure that Mail is turned on in Settings > iCloud.
Make sure that Push is turned on for your device in Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars > Fetch New Data. Then send an email to your account to verify that Push is working correctly.
Make sure that Push is turned on for your iCloud account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars > Fetch New Data. If you're using iOS 6, tap Advanced. Then Tap your iCloud account and make sure that Push is turned on. If you have multiple iCloud Mail accounts set up on your device, Push can be used only with one account at a time. Make sure that Push is turned on for your primary iCloud Mail account.
Turn your device off and back on.
If the issue persists, turn off each of the settings in steps 4, 5, and 6 above, then turn them back on. If that does not help, follow these instructions to delete the iCloud account from your device, then add the account back:
Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars.
Tap your iCloud account.
Tap Delete Account. If you store Contacts, Calendar, or Bookmarks data in iCloud, you will be given the option to keep that data.
On the Mail, Contacts, and Calendars screen, tap Add Account, then tap iCloud to begin setting up your iCloud account again. If data from your device is stored in iCloud, you will be given the option to merge that data with the data on your device.

Sumbit form by email won't "send" from email

The form that I am creating - using both Live Cycle as well as adding a "submit by email" button direct from Acrobat, pulls up the email message window when clicked - correctly showing recipient address and pdf form attached...problem is when I click "send" nothing happens. It's as if my email program (outlook 2003) crashes when trying to email form attachments. Please help & thank you ahead of time. ~Kate

Do you have an anti Viris program running? Sometimes they are setup so that you cannot automate the sending of email.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Mail no longer able to send from any account

Since updating to Mavericks, none of my SMTP accounts will send mail. Messages will 'fly off' the desktop but no 'sent mail' sounds made and no record of sent mail appears in the sent mail or pending box.

Go to Mail > Preferences > General and make sure Default Email Reader is set correctly.

Can no longer send or receive email from any account after Security Update

Hello,
I have a problem with my email in Mail. I let software update install the latest security update (007) a few days ago. I have not been able to send or receive my email since the update. I have several accounts and use Mail as my client for all. This includes my mac.com account, 3 att.net accounts and my website email. All give me the same error which is an SSL thing and has something to do with the certificates. I am able to receive email if I turn SSL off on the ATT accounts but not the mac.com (and if I try to collect my email with SSL off I get an angry message from ATT warning me I am not allowed to do so) and I cannot send any at all from any account.
The error message reads "unable to connect- there may be a problem with the mail server or network.... The server error encountered was: Mail was unable to verify the identity of this server, which has a certificated issued to "mail.mac.com". The error was: An SSL error occured while trying to read data from the server. Verify this server supports SSL and that your account settings are correct". It then states that the certificate could not be verified.
The certificate date on the mac.com account reads May, 29th , 2010.
I also have an iMac and a MacBook Pro which are also running Tiger. I have not and will not run the security update on these machines until I find out why it has messed up my email on the G5. I can still send and receive email with the exact same account settings on the MacBook so I know it is not the settings but something to do with the Security Update.
Has anyone else had trouble with this update? Any advice?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
I don't know if this is a corrupted preference file or not, but it sure can't hurt to try this.
If Mail is open, Quit Mail.
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Drag that .plist file to the Desktop. Launch Mail and see if you can send or receive e-mail. If you can, that .plist file is corrupted. Drag it to the trash, empty the trash and reboot. Your Mac will create a new preference file for you the next time you launch Mail.
Also... run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions. Disk Utility is in your Applications/Utilities folder. Launch DU, select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, click Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.

Triple check the Outgoing Mail server info that you entered in your Mail account. If that area says the info is optional enter the outgoing mail server and your password anyway. Also if you have more than one email account check the server that is selected for the GoDaddy account and make sure it's the correct server for the account.
