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.

TS3899 I'm trying to reply to an email on my iPhone, but I get a message "the recipient was rejected by the server" What have I not set properly?

Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Your Account > Account Name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and enter your email account and password. Make sure things are filled in properly.

Getting error message "the requested item could not be found" when trying to install Firefox on my android.

I had to uninstall Firefox for Android because I was having problems logging in to sync. I got a support e-mail to uninstall and reinstall because the sync issue had been fixed. I uninstalled the Firefox app and then when I tried to reinstall it I get the error message on my phone "the requested item could not be found." HELP!

Some supported phones are not displaying Firefox in the Market for some reason. We're still investigating this. You can check if your phone is supported here:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
and then download the app directly from here:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/4.0b3/android-r7/multi/
(Note: If your phone is from AT&T, you will have to search for instructions on "sideloading" the APK file, since AT&T disables the option to install from non-Market sources.)

I have just been having this problem and it has been driving me mad. The error message doesn't tell you which file is causing the problem so you can't fix it and it leaves your libray in a state of limbo with some files copied into the new location and some in the old location. After many hours I found a surprisingly quick and simple solution.
1) in iTune create a smart play list that includes everything that was added before tomorrows date. This will include everything.
2) Right click this playlist and export it as a text file to produce a tab delimited file.
3) Import this into a spread sheet, or just view it in a text editor with line wrap turned off. What you are interested in is the last column (or end of the line in a text editor). This gives you the path of the file associated with each entry in the library.
The path of the files that have already been copied successfully will start with the new location for your media files you specified. Scroll thru the rows until you get a blank path. If you start getting paths starting with the old Media file location then you went to far and start scrolling back.
The row with the blank path was the file that failed. Move back to the start of the row to find out more about it. In my case it was a podcast with a very long name. I just deleted that podcast from iTunes.
4) Restart the consolidation by choosing File, Library as you did before and the process starts again where it left off.
5) If it fails again on another file just repeat the process

I keep getting "Rejected by Server" when trying to send an email?

Ok this doesnt happen all the time, but often enough to make it frustrating.
Why am I getting this error message? I have not changed any details.

"the recipient was rejected by the server" means the mail server doesn't like the recipient. This might mean that the server doesn't relay messages, or that you didn't authenticate with the server.

Or google for 550 553 relay prohibited
(it has nothing to do with your iPhone)

"Your email account" means to tap on the name of your email account. Whatever it is listed as in the settings.
In my mail settings, one of my email accounts is a Comcast account. I tap on the Comcast name and it brings up this window.
Then I tap on the arrow under the Outgoing mail server smtp setting to get to the next window.
In the resulting window, I then tap on the arrow next to the smtp server under the Primary Server setting.
That brings up this window in which I check to make sure that my user name and password have been entered correctly. If those items are missing, enter them in the appropriate fields and then tap done.

HT204150 Getting error message ("The set of folders cannot be opened") when clicking on "iCloud' folder in Outlook 2007. Lost contacts and calendar in outlook 2007 while installing icloud.

Vista + Outlook 2007 + Icloud : Lost all contacts and calendar in outlook when installing/Synchronizing iCloud. Both still available on iphone and iCloud.
How to get them back in Outlook? Understand iCloud erased them and transferred them in an other outlook account. In Outlook 2007, I can see a folder called "iCloud" but get an error message ("The set of folders cannot be opened...") when clicking on it. I suspect all is there, but no access possible. I assume some Outlook settings are uncorrect, but wonder which settings...?

Well. Working just fine now, since uninstalling and re-installing icloud and syncing.

When sending mail on my iphone I get the message 'The recipient was rejected by the server'

Hello - Does anyone know how I change this to stop this from happening?

Forgive the comment if it offends any poster but - this problem persists in dozens (if not more) threads and Forums and is clearly an iPhone problem. My Nokia (using a non Nokia email) and my BlackBerry (ditto) has never had this problem. Sadly, in my case, it appears to be a random rejection of emails sent via the iPhone - which is intensely frustrating as one can never be sure the email has gone - until the error message pops up again. And yes, I have done all that the threads on this Forum suggest, and yet the problem remains. I feel that Apple should get the grips with this and offer a proper fix (and set of instructions) so that it can indeed be fixed! Ho hum...
