Can send email but cannot receive on exchange account

My .mac account, gmail account, and yahoo account work flawlessly on my iphone. My work account, however, does not. My employer has his iphone working fine and my settings are the same but for some reason I can't receive email. I have no problem sending email from the account with the iphone, only receiving. Anyone have any ideas?
I have tried setting it up via the "exchange" option (entering mail servers, login, and password) and get the following:
1. Cannot connect using SSL (I proceed without it)
2. Cannot get mail. The user name or password is incorrect. IMAP support must be enabled. (which it is because my employer connects without issue).
3. I save the account despite the warnings and can send email but not receive.

I am having the same problem with both my work and Yahoo accounts. At least to the work account I am positive that the settings are the same as a co-worker using an iTouch to access his email. I have re-entered the settings a minimum of 10 times and the IT department has tried no less than 5 times. The error message remains the same. I could understand incorrectly entering the settings once or twice, but not separate people entering it 15 times. There is something else wrong with the iPhone software.

Can send emails but cannot receive!

I had a blackberry curve 8520 for 9 months with no problems with my emails. My hotmail synced successfully.
Last week I got a new curve 8520 because my original had battery problems and could not be fixed.
I added my email onto the new phone same way as before (same sim etc) but now i can only send emails, i can not recieve them at all. Im not sure what has changed between the two phones that has caused this problem.
Please help!

I can send mail but cannot receive it. What is the problem???

I just purchased an iPad. I can send mail but not receive it. What is the problem????

Are we supposed to guess what the error messages are that you get? We can't help unless you provide some information. We can not see your iPad so can not see the error messages.

Able to send fax, but cannot receive fax... I have a HP Officejet 4500 G510g-m fax

Officejet 4500 G510g-m (fax)... I am able to send faxes out without a hitch, but cannot receive... When someone is trying to send me a fax, the machine rings and I can view the fax number but nothing comes thru ... I also made sure that "my device" had the correct device checked... any suggestions

Hello @Gibbs715,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you are having a problem receiving faxes.
I would like to help.
Double check that the 'Auto Answer' is turned on.
Press the Setup button () on the control panel of the product.
Press the Right Arrow button () to select Fax Settings, and then press OK.
Press the Right Arrow button () to select Answer Options, and then press OK.
Press the Right Arrow button () to select Auto Answer, and then press OK.
Press the Right Arrow button () to select On, and then press OK.
Have you ran a fax diagnostic test?
Load plain white paper into the tray.
Press the Setup button ().
Press the Right Arrow () to select Tools, and then press the OK button.
Press the Right Arrow () to select Run Fax Test, and then press the OK button. The product displays the status of the test and prints a report.
Also, if there is a voicemail service on your phone line, it could be intercepting the fax and preventing the 4500 form receiving the fax.

Can send messages but cannot receive

Hello. I am an Apple newbie as I bought an iMac a few weeks ago. I am getting myself acquainted with iChat 4.0.2. I am able to successfully add buddies a variety of different chats (AIM, .mac, and Jabber). However, I am unable to chat. I can successfully SEND IM's and the recipient can see my messages, however, I cannot see the responses. It is quite odd. I was able to successfully do a Video Chat with a buddy of mine who also has a Mac, so that worked fine. It is the usual, run-of-the-mill, chatting which does not work fine. On my end a dialog box opens up, and when I type and hit return, it appears that everything "goes away"....it doesn't even show up in the dialog box. My messages appear to be going nowhere, but they do indeed show up on the receiving end. Most peculiar....if anyone can help me out, that would be great! Thanks much!

ok,
Delete com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist
You have to navigate to this manually in Users/(your account)/Preferences as Spotlight and Find do not look in this folder.
Restart iChat afterwards.
This should reset your iChat/AIM login and sort the issue.
Also check that the outgoing Font choice in iChat > Preferences > Messages is active in the Font Book.

I can send email but cannot receive it since updating to Mavericks

Since updating to Mavericks on my Imac & MacBook I cannot receive email in Mac’s Mail - I can however send email.
In connection Doctor I am getting the green dot saying my SMTP (outgoing) is working just fine and I am getting a red dot saying my POP (incoming) is not working.
I know the settings are just fine! as Mail works perfectly in my iPhone and I can both send and receive email. I have tried resetting a hundred times to no avail. I am on own VPS server with Names Co (in the UK).
What I do know:
1) My email settings are correct - despite mail saying it cannot connect to the server becuase of number of issues such as timeout or wrong password or wrong settings ( I get various answers in connection doctor and system preferences/accounts)
2) My VPS server and website is just fine.
3) My ISP is up and running fine and does not block any ports.
What I have tried doing:
1) Changed passwords - all work fine in my iphone.
2) Tried activating and deactivating my account.
3) Tried using SSL Port with password on and off - tried the other ports.
Help is greatly appreciated

Hi sturmherr
I am using defualt ports 25, 465, 587 for outgoing
and SMTP 995 for incoming using SSL with password (have tried without)
These are the settings that I used to use and it all worked fine and is still working fine in my iphone.
I have tried all the outgoing ports.
Do you have any other suggestions?

Can send mail but cannot receive mail?

My machine has been operating fine and all of a sudden I cannot receive mail...?
I've called my internet provider and they cannot figure it out. My other Mac's are operating fine. Any suggestions?

Hi Popeye. You're welcome.
Has Mail ever worked on this computer for this
account? It could be that you haven't configured the
account properly, i.e. haven't chosen the right
authentication method in Preferences > Accounts >
Advanced, or something like that.
Hi David,
Yes, my MacMail used to work. At that time, I was on a local ISP, on a dial-up connection. Now I have HughesNet satellite connectivity. Maybe you can verify that my settings are right.
In the Accounts window, all three first boxes are checked (enable this account, include when checking for new mail, remove copy when retrieving from server [after one week]), the next section (prompt me...) is grayed out. I'm taking from port 110, and I have MD5 challenge/response selected.
Does this sound right?
Thanks,
PTP

Can not send mail, but do receive mail at a different location

I am on my way to college now and while staying at a hotel I can connect to the internet using the hotel high speed wired connection at the room. When I try sending mail using my MacBookPro mail application, I can not send any mail, but can however receive email. It keeps giving me error messages regarding the server for outgoing mail.

Mail Help has some articles devoted to sending problems, e.g. I can't send email or I can't send email because the connection to the server on port 25 timed out. You may want to take a look at them in case there is something there that applies to you.

MobilMe issue.... can't send from, but do receive with!?

me and a friend both have the same issue. whats the deal? Seems like it should be a clean working thing since it's the iphone/mac's own product...?? Help! Receive fine, but can't send.

Did you select the "sync email accounts" option?
When I first got my iPhone I had configured it to check my .Mac email. Later when I was reviewing all of the sync settings I checked that box in iTunes. It sync'd the "settings" from my mail account on my computer, which has the SMTP server of my ISP, and as such when I tried to send an email from my iPhone the next day it didn't work. I had to UN-check that box and re-setup the email server on the iPhone.
Could this be part of your problem?
