HT1430 why do emails stay in the outbox?

trying to send email and messages stay in outbox and won't go, using my ipad. even hitting "try again" won't send. my desktop Mac is fine
what can I do to fix this? I have restarted numerous times

My guess is you have a port number not set correctly in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > [your email account]
Here's the iPad Mail Setup Assistant:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/mail/
Go through it. It may well help. At worst, delete your email account and use the Mail Setup Assistant to set it up again.

How can I increase the time deleted emails stay in the trash folder?

Sometimes I find that I need to refer back to an email that was deleted. Right now the emails are dumped from the trash folder very quickly. I would like to let the deleted emails stay in the trash folder for a much longer period of time.

Is this on Comcast email? Another email site?
Usually this is set in the options for the site, and not in Firefox itself.

Outgoing mail stays in the outbox.

I am unable to send mail on my Macbook Pro (OSX, version 10.9.5). It appears to send, but when I check the outbox, it is still there. This happens with and without attachments. The problem doesn't appear to be with my gmail account.

Emails stuck in the outbox

Very often emails stuck in my outbox, sometimes it can go 1 or 2 and leve the otheres in the box. Big problem for me help

Try to force close the mail app. Double tap the home button. You'll see the app icons and previews line up on the screen. Scroll sideways if needed to get to the mail preview. Flick that preview up and off the screen then single tap the home button to exit that mode. See if your mail will send.

Why does my Yahoo email stay in the horizontal position on my new iPad 2?

How do I get my email to turn vertically as well as horizontally? It used to, how do I get the iPad 2 out of this mode? Or is there something wrong? Just bought this Ipad2 a week ago!

If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, double tap the home button and swipe to the right and look for the lock icon all the way to the left.
If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate ..... Try this ..... reboot the iPad.
Reboot 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.

Why are emails getting stuck in outbox and picture msgs not sending??

I just traded my iphone 4s and got an iphone5.
I have my work email (exchange) and my gmail account set up on my phone. As soon as I updated to IOS 6, I started to have these problems:
When I send emails out, they get stuck in my outbox.
When sending picture msgs, they just stay in sending status.
A problem with Internet links not opening on safari.
I did everything that you can think of, restarted the phone, reset network settings, restored to factory settings and setup as NEW iphone, checked all email and exchange settings (all are correct) and they way they worked on my 4S, deleted my exchange profile on the work server.
I did all that you can think of and nothing was a permanent fix.
Apple Geniuses, please help us get this resolved. Other co-works are having the same problems.

Are you still using iOS 7.0.3 as stated in your profile? if so, update to 7.1. If already on 7.1:
1. Reset phone (no data loss): Press both the home and power buttons, releasing when the Apple logo appears.
2. Delete and re-enter your iCloud account.

Why does email appear in the draft folder after email is sent

could someone tell me why emails I am sending appear in the draft folder even after the email has been sent and is in the sent folder?

Do you get draft emails every time your write an email, or do you just have a pesky email in drafts? There's a big difference.
If it happens every time, it could be that your email isn't being sent to your recipient. If it happened only once, it's just an incomplete email you haven't sent or deleted yet.
Which is your situation?

Why is email stuck in my outbox?

I keep getting this error message and can't send emails. Please help!!
Connections to the server “smtp.me.com” on the default ports timed out.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent.

Switch iCloud Mail off (in System Preferences, then switch it back on)
smtp.me.com is an incorrect address, forcing iCloud to set Mail up again may fix it.
Just noticed your profile says Snow Leopard, is this what you have or did you upgrade?

Why are emails missing in the to: line?

In the iOS mail app I have noticed that some mass emails are missing addressees are missing in the to: line. They are not in the cc: or bcc: line either. However I know they are there when I view the email online or on my computer. This is happening with multiple accounts too. Any suggestions?

Am I missing something here?
Yes, apps sold in the iTunes App Store are for iOS devices; iPhones, iPads and iPods Touch.
Apps sold in the Mac App Store are for Macs.
iOS apps don't run on Macs and Mac apps don't run on Macs. If a developer has developed an app for both operating systems, they are sold separately in their respective app store.

Why are emails downloaded with the subject and from address different from what is actually in the email?

The subject and from address listed in the message pane are totally different from what is in the actual email, viewed either in the preview pane or when the email is opened. The emails are correct when viewed online. For example:
Email subject A from Sender A - email A
Email subject B from Sender B - email B
Email subject C from Sender C - email C
After downloading to Thunderbird:
Email subject A from Sender A - email A
Email subject B from Sender B - email B
Email subject C from Sender C - email A *** Subject and Sender for C but is actually email A
This started happening within the past month and appears to be random. Sometimes everything is correct. But more often there are a few that exhibit the above behavior. I have multiple email address downloading from the same domain but this problem seems to occur ostly with my main email account.

Try to rebuild the index file of the troubled folder.
Right-click the folder - Properties - Repair Folder

Why does iphoto stay in the background off screen when I open it and won't stay on screen?

Since yesterday every time I try to open iphoto it stays out of sight. I can bring nto view using mission control but I cannot work with it.
I have downloaded mountain lion and iphoto but I still have the problem

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
