I cannot send email from iPhone -- my account is with aol

I tried to send an email to myself and I got a message that said "Cannot Send Mail the sender address (my address) was rejected by the server". It says that no matter who I send mail to.
I am not very technically oriented -- so if someone answers me I hope they will give it to me in simple terms
I am receiving email -- although some of it says "not downloaded from server" and some of it says "no message content". Most of the email I receive comes through ok
I have not yet figured how to make the Wi-fy come on so have just been using Edge. I have had the phone for 5 days.
I can live without wi-fy -- but I really would like to be able to send an email. I have a new Mac (my 5th) Hope someone can help.

After I posted my message I found a discussion that said to get my wi-fy to work all I had to do was to:
go to settings
go to general
go to reset
reset network settings
and
for good measure I also
reset all settings
I did this and now my wi-fy works like a charm -- and the emails that I sent went through, even though it said they didn't -- but now I am not receiving any emails -- the little thing just goes around and around like it is searching for emails -- it has been doing that now for a while. I turned off the wi-fy and let it go to edge and itstill can't pick up any emails -- It has transferred no email to my iphone since I reset! I love my iPhone -- but I would sure like to get everything to work at once.
Thank you for your post and help.

    Forget the previous message. I'm going to assume you chose the AOL option...
    I'm suggesting you give the 'Other' option a shot.
    In Settings > Mail - Add Account > Other
    Ensure it is IMAP (not POP) - fill in your name, address, description etc
    Inc. Mail Server
    hostname: imap.aol.com:143
    username: (your aol username)
    password: (your aol password)
    Out. Mail Server
    hostname: smtp.aol.com:587
    username: (your aol username)
    password: (your aol password)
    The outgoing mail server requires authentication - so make sure your username and pass in outgoing section in put in as it is NOT optional.

  • HT1430 Cannot send email from iPhone 4S ..it keeps saying smpt password is incorrect but it is correct and I receive email no problem

    Cannot send email from iPhone...keeps saying smpt password is incorrect but it is correct.. I recieve email no problem

    On my own, I discovered the following, which worked (one responder got the solution part correct for Google): For Yahoo, where I just use a standard login with no extra verification, I had to go into Yahoo and change my password. Once I did this, the new iPhone had no problem registering accepting my Yahoo account. I WAS, however, using the correct password and user name all along, for those who did not think that was the case. The problem is on the iPhone software side. For Google, I use a two step verification, and for that, one must go to Google Mail and obtain a specific, unique password, that is designed to work only on iPhones. Hope this helps anyone else with this dilemma.

  • TS3899 Cannot send email from iPhone. Outgoing settings are correct. Checked against iPad setting which are OK and can send mail OK.

    Cannot send email from iPhone. Outgoing settings are correct. Checked them against iPad settings which are OK and can send mail. What can I do?

    For IOS7.02
    The user name and password are in two places. Make  sure they are correct in both locations.
    Settings>>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>>your email>>
    First spot is here under INCOMING MAIL SERVER
    Below this is OUTGOING MAIL SERVER
    Select: SMTP smtp.comcast.net>> PRIMARY SERVER :smtp.comcast.net>>second location of user name and password
    Here is the second place that the user name and password must be checked.
    I had changed my password in the first spot, but not the second spot. I had been receiving the same error message. This fixed my problem.

  • I cannot send email from Iphone 5c.

    Last queries and responses on my problem were in 2012 and 2013.  I CANNOT SEND EMAIL ON MY REPLACEMENT IPHONE 5C.      I could on 2 previous iphones 5c.  Charter says its an apple problem.  Apple says it's a Charter problem.
    Do I have to download a different email app to use my Iphone for sending email?

    Is Charter your email provider?
    See if they have an IMAP or POP account - a Google search should show this up
    Also see if they need dual factor authentication - if so then you will have to set it up
    Email security may have been tightened between 2013 and now and as such you are having some troubles

  • TS2634 cannot send email from iphone 4

    When trying to send email from my iphone 4.0 I get this message: The recepient was turned down by the server because it does not allow relays. How do I fix this?

    As it happened before and it seems to be solved by itself, there are chances that the problem comes from your provider.

  • Cannot send emails from my corporate account with Smartphone Lenovo K920 (Vibe Z2 Pro)

    Hi All, 
    I bought a Smartphone Lenovo K920 (Vibe Z2 Pro).
    I have configured my hotmail account and everything is working perfectly.
    But for my corporate email account (with IMAP Settings), incoming emails are ok but when I try to send emails, I get the message "email failed to send".
    For information, I have used the same settings on my Android tablet and everyting is fine from this side.
    Does someone has the same issue?
    Thanks.

    How to sync contacts and calendar with CloudMagic?
    ....Security must be blocking CloudMagic from accessing contacts&calendar.You're using contacts from the Gmail account I suppose.
    Go to the Security app>Privacy Guard and set CloudMagic as  ''Trusted'' or grant CloudMagic access to Personal information.
    Then go to Settings>scroll down to Accounts and resync the Google and CloudMagic accounts.
    Let me know how it goes.
    Cheers

  • Cannot send emails from my yahoo account.,but can from internet explorer.Why?

    Hi, I can receive emails on my yahoo account;read them and so on,but cannot reply to them.A message comes which states that they are trying to re-load the original mail ,but fail to.I went into the yahoo help page and was told if it worked on a different browser the fault lay with firefox (my default browser).It worked on Internet explorer ,which I hardly ever use.The problem first occurred yesterday ,no idea why.

    hello, in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/947471 this thread] a user has found out that the problem might be related to the ghostery addon - do you have it installed too?

  • HT1349 I cannot send email from IPhone 4. message server was rejected by server

    This has happened before and all of a sudden the phone allows messages to be sent.  Seems to be no rhyme or reason. I have re-entered my password and shut off phone.  my provider is comcast.
    thanks

  • On 3G we cannot send emails from either our iPhones or iPad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all.  Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Email account.  What is causing this and what do we need to do to resolve it?

    On 3G we cannot send  Business emails from either our iPhones or Ipad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all.  Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Account using both 3G and WiFi.
    We bought the iPhones and Ipad so that we could send emails while we are out of the Office, but we are not able to do this unless we can find a WiFi connection. Incoming emails are fine.  We use IMAP, for Business emails just incase this is relevant and I know that Hotmail is POP3.
    Our technical IT knowledge is not great, so we look forward to your suggestions as to how to resolve this. 

    Contact whomever supports the email account and get the correct Outgoing email server settings from them.

  • Cannot send email from iPad & iPhone with Virgin Media

    I cannot send emails from my iPad and iPhone. I have a virginmedia.com address and I can receive but just cannot send. A message keeps saying the smpt settings are wrong. However, I have followed the tutorial on Virgin Media web site (this is how I managed to start receiving emails on my devices) but still not sending. I have looked at the settings in my MacBook Pro and all seem to be correct. Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong? I had a similar problem when I loaded Microsoft Office 365 for Mac; I had to end up calling Virgin Media (useless) and then Microsoft (useful). Anyhow I have looked at the settings on the Mac and they all seem to correspond with the ipad and iphone but still cannot send emails. V V Frustrated.
    Thanks for reading.

    Then make sure that the settings are correct in your email account.
    Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.
