Hotmail and Gmail accounts won't send mail.

Have added and deleted and re-added two Hotmail accounts(as IMAP) and 3 Gmail accounts and all will receive emails but none of them will send?
No idea what I'm doing wrong! Any help would be great.
Thanks!

John Burnes,
Port 25 may not work on some WiFi hotspots or the EDGE network, or may only send to some recipients but not others. Many email providers will also set up their SMTP servers to listen for authenticated connections on either port 465 or 587.
For example, .Mac does this because many consumer internet providers filter or block port 25 traffic:

  • Hotmail/Comcast/Gmail accounts won't send any emails.

    I have the iPhone 4. I get the error that I have no password entered, but I do (have checked 'settings' multiple times to be sure it's there, and re-typed it multiple time). What do I do now? Not sure when I last updated phone, so that might be partly to blame. But if and when I do updated, what are my next steps?

    It is not recomended for OS 10 to remove the battery to correct issues.
    Try a reset: when powered on hold down the power button for 10 seconds.
    You can also remove your email account, power off, power on  then reinstall it.
    You can reset your phone to factory settings if you wish to see if it corrects your issue. Resetting to factory settings will wipe out all your data so you should save it first. To save all your stuff download and install BlackBerry Link on your computer from the link below. Resetting will not back-up the OS on your phone. Once you have downloaded and installed BlackBerry Link connect your phone to your computer and save your stuff. Once saved disconnect your phone from the computer.
    To reset your phone: tap the Settings App, scroll down and tap Security and Privacy, tap Security Wipe, tap the blank box and enter blackberry.
    Once Wiped reconnect your phone to your computer and install your stuff.

  • General Mail settings won't open and Exchange account won't recieve mails

    Here is a strange problem:
    The Exchange mail account stopped working on my iPad after several month os working beutifully.
    The issues:
    New mails won't arrive, it looks like the exchange account is looping forever when trying to get new mails. (The network indicator is spinning.)
    I can no longer open the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" setings, when clicked it marks the settings row but does not open any settings. After some minutes the Setting application ends and the iPad returns to the home screen.
    I've tried:
    Restarting the iPad - no help,
    "hard" restart (hold down home+power for 10sec) - no help,
    Upgrading from 3.2.1 to iOS 3.2.2 - no help,
    restoring from an old backup (Edit: to be clear: I reset to factory settins and then restored to an old backup) - no help.
    The last thing I tried was restoring the iPad to factory settings and register it in iTunes as a new iPad (thus completely reverting all changes) - this removed the Exchange account and when I re-added it, everything worked as it should.
    However... I want my things I have in the backup... Anyone has an idea of either how to fix this issue without deleting everything on the iPad or how to restore a backup without getting the Exchange account setup?
    Is there a "back-door" to removing an email account (or all accounts, or even all settings)?
    Or perhaps a backup setting where you can choose what parts of a backup to restore? (So I can skip the exchange mail account settings.)

    (My Apple account got messed up??!)
    I decided to take the not so very nice road forward.
    I reset my iPad to factory settings and restored it as a new iPad.
    Then manually re-added all content I managed to backup (photos using a image transfer tool, the rest "pen and paper" style).
    This way, the exchange account was recreated (exactly the same as before) and now it works again, just as it did before the hickup.
    I still have a lot of info lost from the backup (game saves etc), so if anyone knows how to extract such things from the iPad backup that would be great!
    Hope you get your issue solved eventually! The "hard way" worked for me but the whole situation has made me lower the iPad score, I don't love it as much as I did before this happend....

  • Having problem with gmail smtp server.  Since going to google 2-step, and entering 16-digit code in gmail account, I can receive mail on my iMac, but cannot send.  What do I do?

    Having problem with gmail smtp outgoing server.  Since going to google 2-step, and entering 16-digit code in gmail account, I can receive mail on my iMac, but cannot send.  I keep getting an error message that Mail "Cannot send message using Gmail (my assigned name) server."  What do I do?

    Confirm you did this: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1173270?hl=en
    You might also try removing all gmail passwords from your keychain in Keychain Access. Then connect again and enter the password code given by Google.

  • HT1277 I can not configure my major mail account at Mac Mфail - other accounts such as Hotmail and Gmail are working great. Also, I am using that major account at iPhone and iPad with no problem

    hello. I can not configure my major mail account at Mac Mфail - other accounts such as Hotmail and Gmail are working great. Also, I am using that major account at iPhone and iPad with no problem. I had contacted mail provider - we had followed step by step all the settings,, they are correct, and I was suggested to use another mail program. Why, for God's sake I should use different programs for different mail accounts? Anyone, had the same problem?

    it says - IMAP - Trying to log into this IMAP account is failed - Verify that username and password are correct
    same for SMTP

  • I recently updated to Mavericks and now all my e-mail accounts won't send

    I recently updated to Mavericks and now all my e-mail accounts won't send. They all receive ok but when I send I get a message "sender address rejected by server" and " Authentification required" The passwords are still intact

    Check the Mail settings for your account, especially the SMTP (outgoing) address, type of authentication, and entry of the proper email username and password. You can do this when you select the account then under the outgoing mail server use the dropdown menu to select the Edit option. Select your outgoing configuration in the list. Check the settings below, then click on the Advanced tab and check those settings.
    If all is OK, then I suggest your reinstall Mavericks:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it isthree times faster than wireless.

  • When using 3G on my ipad2, gmail won't send mail.  The 2 emails i'm trying to send have 3 pictures attached and are stuck in the Outbox-checkd server under settings

    Been trying to send 2 emails from Ipad2 with pictures attached from gmail.  Both emails have been stuck in my Outbox and gmail continually tries to send but i keep getting a nessage that the gmail server can't be found.  Went under settings, checked server and it seems fine.  I don't have Wifi @home or else i'd try switching.  Any ideas of what could be happenin'?

        daviddavidff, we want you to be able to send and receive! If Earthlink has confirmed the outgoing server settings and you can access the email and send without issue from a labtop I would lean away from it being an issue with the account. If you can receive email then we know the device is communicating with the network.
    I would try deleting the any email in the outbox folder http://bit.ly/1g1labk and then attempt to send a new email. Send the email to your own email address so we can verify success. Let us know if you can then send email.

  • My iMac won't Accept My AOL Account and Gmail Account

    For some reason my iMac won't accept new emails from my AOL and Gmail accounts which was weird since it was able to yesterday. I read from one of the post on the Apple community threads that I could delete the accounts on the Account section in Preferences and just reenter them which I tried to do but I can't reenter the AOL account because it's saying it can't "verify" the account/password (And I know that I didn't put down the wrong password) and it'll accept the Google account but it won't accept the Gmail part.
    Now I have a Mail app on my iMac that won't accept my AOL or Gmail accounts and I don't know what to do. So far my iPhone doesn't have a problem with reading emails and I can still look at the emails through the websites but I want to be able to use the Mail app)

    Hi sierra42,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iMac. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact verification message you are receiving. If it is regarding verification of the outgoing mail server, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following article helpful:
    Mail (Yosemite): Verify an account’s outgoing mail server
    On the other hand, if it is regarding your email account user name or password, then this article may be more useful:

    If you continue to have issues with your Mail accounts, you may also find these articles of use:

  • TS3276 Why is the Mail app mixing up my Yahoo and Gmail accounts? I am receiving mail in each account that appears to have "crossed over" from the other account.

    I have Mail set up with 2 different accounts (1 Yahoo and 1 Gmail). I am missing messages in my Yahoo account that all of a sudden appear in my Gmail account. I thought Mail was suppose to keep these accounts separate. There is nothing to connect the 2 accounts. (I am not accidentaly sending out e-mails using the wrong account) Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thank you!

    Have you done this: Mail  >>  Preferences  >>  Accounts  >>  Accountinformation  >>  uncheck gmail Account 2.
    Or remove gmail Account 2 at all from the MacBook by clicking on the minus sign.

  • I'm using ipad2 with ios5. My outbox won't send mail. I guess i need an outgoing server and can't find it anywhere.

    I'm using ipad2 with ios5. My outbox won't send mail. I guess i need an outgoing server and can't find it anywhere. Any suggestions on how to get it to send. I have tried everything, rebooting, ensuring passwords are correct, etc.

    My problem is i don't have an outgoing server spot on my menu.  These are my selections. After getting to the menu that where i enter my password for hotmail, i have the following menu choices:  Email, then server (bay-m.hotmail.com, then domain (empty), then username, then password, thendescription, then Use SSL, then S/MIME
    I don't see or can find an outgoing server choice. My daughter has an ipad2 using Ios4 and she has all the choices that are illustrated on. All the help sites. I only have the ones listed above.

  • When I flag an email with my gmail account using Apple's Mail App how do I flag and set a reminder that at a specific to follow

    When I flag an email with my gmail account using Apple's Mail App how do I flag and set a reminder that at a specific to time to follow up with that email ?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • Hotmail and Gmail as Exchanges

    Hi, I have configured hotmail and gmail as exchange accounts so to sync or use my google contacts on my iPhone 4S (5.1.1).
    Latetly when I try sending emails using gmail they are being sent via hotmail exchange instead of m.google.com. I don't remember until when this was working but was working atleast before 5.1.1.
    Currently I have my hotmail account disabled/inactive (by switching off mail) to make my gmail work as it should be.
    Will appritiate your help in addressing this issue.
    I have deleted both accounts and setup from scratch one after another and issue still remains
    Thank you,
    Ravi.

    Try to remove Hotmail account
    *** Power off iPhone ***
    Power on iPhone
    Add Hotmail account and test.
    I had the same exact problem after updating to iOS 5.1.1. I called into Apple Care (2-3 hrs) and went to the Genius Bar (2hrs). They all claimed it was my fault for forwarding email accounts. One suggested solution was to restore and setup as new, yet the problem still occured after I let them restore the iPhone. Some how I believe in iOS 5.1.1 the active sync is messed up. Everyone instead of taking ownership of the problem all says it's Hotmail's issue or Gmail's issue. Why is it not Apple's issue who wrote the code for iOS 5.1.1? Prior to v5.1.1 they didn't have a Hotmail (Exchange) setup. It was setup via smtp/mapi. The simple reboot inbetween adding/removing accounts works. (IMHO, this sounds like an Apple iOS issue to me.)

  • Outbox won't send mail

    Had a problem earlier with my email account (Yahoo) being hacked, After resetting password all seemed to be well, but now my iPad won't send mail, it goes into OUTBOX but won't send. Receiving mail is no problem.
    I am new to iPad and need a bit of help.
    Thanks
    John

    Brilliant! Thanks Jaimi E.
    My iPad did resume 'normal service' after an overnight rest. I did not know that there was an imposed 24hr quarantine, but I do know that all's well now.
    I found The BT staff in their technical help desk were good at fixing the original hacking problem on my laptop, but totally helpless at sorting the iPad issues out.
    I had to talk to Apple help desk in UK who in turn put me through to the USA. Their consultant was great, but he undoubtedly didn't seem to aware of the quarantine imposed by Yahoo. I will try to get this information through to him for future information
    Thanks to all for your assistance.
    My message to anyone who reads this topic and has been hacked on Yahoo (or btinternet) is
    1 update security passwords on laptop. New password required. Delete all traces of hacked messages (inc failed delivery notices and real people's responses)
    2 uninstall your mail settings on iPad and reinstall with new mail password on iPad.
    3 the iPad mail system should then receive, but not send mail (goes into Outbox)
    4 wait 24 hours then everything will be back to normal.
    As a brand new user and about to go on a long holiday, it was a nightmare, but ended up fine!
    Now in Singapore at 6am local time, can't sleep so catching up on my machine which functions perfectly!
