Forwarding an email on the iPhone with an attachment fails

I'm not sure when this problem started but it's been going on for at least a week or two, possibly longer. I am operating at the latest firmware version (2.1).
I do not use Mobile Me.
If I send a pdf, gif, jpg attachment in an email from my work account, for example, to my Yahoo account that works. I go to the Yahoo account email on the iPhone and read the email and view the picture.
If I FORWARD the email to another person and choose to include the attachment, the email does not get sent. I get the error, "Cannot Send Mail - An error occured while delivering this message". The forwarded email sits in the Outbox and the iPhone periodically tries to send it but it never works.
I tried deleting the Yahoo account off the iPhone and then re-adding as was stated in one discussion but this did not work.
Is this an iPhone or Yahoo problem?
Thanks, Matt

I have the same problem with my email address. It started about a week ago. It won't forward attachments but works fine with just text. If I use my wife's Yahoo address which is a sub account of mine it works fine. Exactly the same settings in both cases.
Even tried it on a different iphone and I get the same result.
My email does work fine though through Webmail and through Mail on the Mac or Outlook.
I'm betting it must be Yahoo though.
Yahoo have been'improving' their SMTP spam protection and I don't know if it has caused something on my Yahoo account to block anything with an attachment that comes from the iphone.
I tried calling them about it and after about an hour I convinced the 'technical support guy' (term used loosely) to see if there something different between the settings on the two accounts or to see if there was a message stuck in the system somewhere causing a blockage from the iphone. That's when the call dropped off and losing the will to live, gave up on talking to them.
I did put it in e-mail and may get a response if they pass it on to a real Technical advisor.
Will post again if I have any luck!

  • After installing OS8 my mail items On my iPad in trash often are mixed up with the body of the email in the wrong email. The iPhone with the same mail in trash is fine, as is the GMail trash on my PC.

    I Have IOS 8.1 on my iPad & iPhone And I use gmail. When I review email trash on the iPad, many of the emails in trash have the wrong content. The body of the email appears as the content of another email also in trash. The same emails in trash on the iPhone & in Gmail trash on the PC are all OK. if I file the email back in the inbox it Still has the body of the email with the wrong sender and addressee. Any ideas?

    Greetings,
    Mail doesn't create .txt files from email messages; it sends exactly what you type. If some of your recipients are claiming they receive .txt files, that would most likely be due to their email client, which no doubt is running Windoze. Only they can solve that problem. If the message is okay in your Sent mailbox, that's exactly what you sent, so the problem is on their end.

  • Is it possible to sync the iphone with my company's email server

    Is it possible to sync the iphone with my company's email server (Novell Groupwise)? I have the option of getting a blackberry or iphone. I want the iphone, but I also want to be able to sync it with my work email since I am away from the office a lot. I know I need to contact the IT department, but I thought I would try here to see what experiences people had with this sistuation. Thanks.

    Depends on what protocols they will allow (or can). If they open up POP or better yet IMAP access, then yes, sure. It is all about the protocols available to you (them). Though note, the iPhone checks on an interval where the Blackberry has emails pushed to it. So with iPhone, the min interval time is 15mins.

  • Is it possible to sync my email on my iPhone with the email on my Mac.

    Is it possible to sync my email on my iPhone with the email on my Mac. I have a hotmail account as well as a Uni email account and when I read emails on my phone, I would like it to update my emails on my mac so that Im not deleting or reading the emails twice?

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
    Answering quickly, though, no, iTunes will not natively sync with non-Apple products. There may be workarounds, though. Ask in the iTunes forums.

  • Saving pop3 email to the iphone

    It is my understanding that there is no simple way to save an email on the iphone if you are using POP3 email.
    (1) If you are using IMAP, then you can set up folders on the server and that works. GMAIL and many other accounts are IMAP and so you can forward email to those accounts and then use IMAP. However, Earthlink does *not* support IMAP, only POP3. Forwarding my Earthlink email to GMAIL seems like a silly cludge to me.
    (2) If you really need to save an email, best trick I have heard is to "reply" and then "save as draft" and cancel out. This is also a cludge but should work for the email of your travel documents or other timely information that you need close at hand.
    (3) Another trick is to Copy entire text of email and paste to a note. Again, this is a cludge.
    ANY BETTER IDEAS???
    COMMENT: I will be much happier with iPhone when they pay some serious attention to business folk who need (a) to be able to save email messages locally on the iPhone for quick access; and (b) need to access the "comment" field for long calendar or contact entries (where I often take notes). Both of those features work much better in Android and Blackberry and it is disappointing that Apple does not fix......

    Forwarding email through Gmail works beautifully. I have an old Earthlink account that I still get some mail on so I have it pulled through to Gmail. Gmail neatly tags it as having come from the other account. I also have Gmail set so, if I replay, the receipient still sees it as having come from Earthlink. It's as fast as when I was getting the Earthlink email directly. It takes a couple of minutes to set up but I would hardly call it a kludge. Try it. You may find it solves your problems.
    Best of luck.

  • IPAD3/IPAD2 :PDF files/ attachments  sent in an email  displayed inline ( embedded within the main email) in the message text on both my Ipad2 and Ipad three, however the same email displayed the PDF File icons/ attachment on both my Iphone and a friend's

    IPAD3/IPAD2 :PDF files/ attachments  sent in an email  displayed inline ( embedded within the main email) in the message text on both my Ipad2 and Ipad three, however the same email displayed the PDF File icons/ attachment on both my Iphone and a friend’s PC. How do i get both my IPAD devices to display the PDF icons/attachments? Bearing in mind if i open the same email over the internet the PDF Icons/attachments display OK!
    Has anyone come across this? Your advice/help would be most appreciated

    This happens to me all the time.
    If is a one page PDF it seems as though it comes over already open and inline in the body of the email. Multiple page PDF files show as the PDF icon.
    I can't find any official documentation of this - other than based on my own experience with PDF attachments in my various email accounts.

    That is not a feature of the Mail app. Check with your email provider to see if it's a service they offer.

  • Can I save an email on the iPhone?

    I downloaded some email onto the iPhone. It also downloads onto my Mac. When I delete it from the Mac, it disappears from the iPhone. Is there some way I can download the email from the server to the iPhone and keep it on the iPhone, even after I delete it from the server?

    You can save it on your iPhone, depending upon what kind of mail you are interfacing with, and the settings you setup to control how it deals with the mail it pulls down.

  • TS3899 I can't access my yahoo emails in the email in the iPhone 5c it was working perfectly fine earlier an now it quit

    I can't access my yahoo emails in the email in the iPhone 5c it was working perfectly fine earlier an now it quit

    I have a similar problem. I was receiving email on my iPhone for months, and then it quit working. When it quit working, I continued to receive emails on my iPad even though the server and port settings were exactly the same between the two devices. I tried deleting and re-adding my email account on the iPhone and restarting my iPhone, but I still couldn't receive email on the device. The only way I could get email to work on my iPhone was to switch to using a POP3 email server (this is the server that my phone auto detected when I re-added my email account) -- the server that was working previously and that is still working on my iPad is an IMAP email server. Since the IMAP server settings continue to work on my iPad, it seems that the problem is with my iPhone and not my email server.

    Below is the section from the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7 which explains how to delete multiple messages in Mail:

    I doubt the phone is locked to GCI in any way
    Well, you're wrong, & in fact not only is it locked, GCI does not offer unlocking for iPhones.
    Fact is your post won't help the OP.
    And you are 100% sure its locked to them? How can you know this? While GCI does not offer unlocking that does not mean the phone is actually locked to it. Get off your high horse.
    Its possible the original owner had an unlocked phone. he was using with GCI. Or that GCI doesn't actually have locked phones. Seeing as they don't even have their own infrastructure but instead use AT&T's I doubt they'd have iPhones specifically locked to them and that would be the reason they do not offer unlocking (because there's nothing for them to unlock). And just to clarify, I'm not saying for a fact its not locked to them. It very well maybe be, but without knowing more about the phone and going by the fact GCI uses AT&T infrastrucure its possible its not locked. But here's no way to say for sure either way.
    Trying a Sim card from AT&T or another carrier might just help the OP if its actually unlocked or locked to AT&T rather than GCI.
