I phone to send email from PC?

I want to compose e mail on my PC and use the I phone to send the mail ( due to location and lack of wifi signal) Any way to do this?

No. You can not use the iPhone as a "modem" or "bridge" to the internet.

I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails. This just started happening. I have an iPhone and I can send emails from my phone fine. It's just not working on my Macbook. Every time I try to send an email it goes straight to my outbox. Can anyone help?

Thank you for heading me in the right direction. I reset my Mail account for Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net:(customer ID)@att.net (instead of smtp.att.yahoo.com, per Apple's online troubleshooting information). I'm not sure what "(Offline)" means when it appears at the end of my Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)?? In the Advanced box I clicked on "Use custom port: 465" and checked "Use Secure Sockets Layer." Authentication: Password; I have correct User Name and Password put in. After doing all this, when I try to send emails again today, they go directly to the Outbox and sit there.
What's curious is that my first sent email this morning did go out using the Outgoing Mail Server, smtp.att.yahoo.com: (customer ID)@att.net(Offline) but subsequent emails I tried to send with this server were rejected with the message: "Cannot send message using the server smtp.att.yahoo.com (etc.). The SMTP server doesn't support TLS(SSL) on port 587. Verify your account settings and try again." That's when I tried resetting my Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net (etc.), as mentioned above, and was unsuccessful in sending out any further emails. I guess my next step is to contact my email service provider, AT&T, and see if they can help me. Thanks, again, for taking the time to respond and for giving me your input! Much appreciated!

Sending Email From Mobile Phone

So I have Postfix working great and I've always used webmail if I needed to send email from PC's outside of $mynetworks. So fast forward to today where I got my 1st Android powered mobile phone and I can configure the Android mail client to send/receive IMAP email but my question is do I need to become an open relay to allow my random wireless providers dynamic range of IP's to send mail via Postfix? Seems extremely vulnerable and scary to think I would have to allow my providers IP range to relay mail via my MTA. I started reading a bit and I think I need SASL authentication (correct me please if I'm wrong) and since both Postfix 2.8.1 & Dovecot 2.0.11 are configured / using TLS, is there anything else I would need beyond SASL or that you recommend for sending email from my Android powered mobile?

I'm in the same boat, except that I don't have a smartphone yet - but I'm already outlining the changes to my soho-network.
I guess you have to secure the mailserver (using SSL + TLS looks ok to me) and also secure the server as a whole: configure iptables to lock it down completely, except for as little ports as necessary: IMAPS and SMTPS, maybe even on an other-than-default port...
Maybe you are also interested in syncing your calendar: I will be doing that with davical on my server (running for 2 years now) and acal on my Android smartphone: no syncing, but native caldav between server and smartphone...
The other option would be to install openvpn on your server and always work via your VPN.

When I try to send email from phone I get message net sign in failed and the messages won't send

Why do I get the message net sign in failed when I try to send email from my phone? This just started about a week ago and I am unable to send email.

Hello yinz!
Let's get those emails sending! When you get the message, does the device prompt you to sign in to your email? If so, does it give you a different error message? The same? What type of email is it? Are you able to send/receive if using the PC? One option is to uninstall, then reinstall the email account from your device. Please give that a try and keep me posted on the results.
Thanks so much,

try to log into your email from another mobile or device and see if you can, or log out of your email on your phone and log back in see if it works

In the wee hours of the night I had an idea and downloaded OSX again and that seems to have fixed my problem. I wish I'd thought of that last week!

Cannot send email from yahoo account on iPhone 5

I just got an iPhone5 and I couldn't set up my Yahoo email as "yahoo"--it would not allow me to complete the process despot multiple attempts. I had to set it up as an "other" account. I can receive and read emails on my phone, but when I reply those messages will not send. They go to the outbox and an error message pops up that says" the email account has been rejected by the server" Does anyone have advice on either issue: setting up yahoo properly and/or sending email from phone?

outgoing mail server
SMTP - Yahoo! SMTP Server
primary server
Yahoo! SMTP server - ON
server port 465
That's what I have for my yahoo account.

Cannot send email from an iPhone to a Outlook group.

Hi,
My question is simple and I'd like an exactly same answer : Can iPhone users send emails from their iPhone's to one or more groups created in Outlook?
This is my situation: our organization is using iPhone to provide email, calendar, contact, task etc. to some of their employees. We are using Airwatch MDM Agent on user's iPhone because we have an Airwatch server in place. I have an user and she has an iPhone 5 and she has created some groups in Outlook but these groups are not reflected in her Contacts in the iPhone. I have update her phone with the latest update, although I was almost sure that this was not the issue, then I've found some interesting posts on internet saying that this was a known problem for the users with the previous iOS but I thought this might has been corrected with the iOS, apparently not.
Also I've tried ''the trick'' that is posted on several forums with the iCloud but neither so it's working. I am looking for a straight answer, if this works or not on iPhone's?
Thanks,
Sebastian.

There indeed ARE apps in the app store that will do what you want. Just search and find the one that best fits your needs.

Cannot send email from my IPad Air

I suddenly cannot send email from my IPad Air. Keep getting message that my email recipient
was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying. Don't understand what this means as I have been able to send email before.

Paula, in most cases this message appears when you are sending email from a ISP server not in the pop settings and SMTP settings in your email program.
In example if I send out email from my iPad I must be on my own isp's server to send. I have roadrunner but if I send email out using say Verizon's email server I will get a reject notice.
You did not say what email program you are using but if it is hotmail or yahoo or your isp's email in two of these email accounts there are stand alone apps which work much better than the stock email program on the phone.
If you are using road runner or another ISP email you must get the proper Pop3 (incoming) server settings and SMTP (send) settings from your ISP
You can then just go into the Settings-Mail, Contacts and Calendar section and click on the email account and change to the proper settings from your ISP.
You could delete as you were told but why bother when only the sending and receiving settings need to be entered.
If the settings are correct, on an iPhone it tests the settings. If correct send an email. If incorrect you will need the proper settings from your ISP.
It is actually very easy to do.

Cannot send email from new iPad 2 or new iPhone 4s

I have a new ipad2 and a new iPhone 4s. I cannot send email from either. I had an iPad and an android before with no email issues. Phone is Sprint and ipad is Verizon. I have tried using my wifi and have tried turning wifi off. Nothing works. Please help.

I agree, unplug and replug your router, then reset your iPad by holding down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red power down slider, and wait til you see the silver apple. let it reboot and then try your connection.
Chances are rebooting the router will help. You may also need to talk to cox. They may need to reset something on their end.

Unable to send emails from any Apple devices

Since BT made the changes to Yahoo mail i have had problems with sending emails from my ipad and iphone (IOS8). The only way that i can successfully send an email is to log onto my laptop and send from a windows platform. I have checked all of the settings which are correct and im stumped. I am continuing to receive mail so why cant i send mail? I have contacted the BT customer support to be told that they are not trained on ios platforms so they cant help! pretty gobsmacked with that reposnse tbh, anyone have any ideas?

You may want to delete the email account and try setting it up again. Once you have deleted it, re-start your phone.
Set it up manually and do not use the wizard.
It is best to go through settings >mail contacts, calendars > add account… > don’t choose the BT or BTYahoo option, tap the ‘other’ option from the bottom of the list > Add Mail Account and enter the following details:
Name – it can be anything you want, but usually your real name is preferable
Address – your full BT Internet email address
Password – your email account password
Description – this can be used if you have more than one email account on the device but put something like ‘work’ or ‘BT Internet
Press “Next” and allow the verification (this may take a few minutes)
On the next screen it will want you to input incoming and outgoing mail server details:
Tap ‘IMAP’ at the top,
Incoming mail server settings:
Host name: mail.btinternet.com
Username: your full BT Internet email address
Password: your email account password
Outgoing mail server settings:
Host name: mail.btinternet.com
Username: your full BT Internet email address
Password: your email account password
Press ‘next’
Slide the notes and mail to be ‘on’ and press ‘save’ in the top-right
Check your email on the device and see if it is working. Try sending yourself a message and see if it arrives. If messages are not able to send do the following:
Additional setting changes
Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > tap your BT email account > a window will appear, tap on your email address > scroll down to the bottom of the window and tap where it says ‘SMTP’ > tap the primary server (which should be mail.btinternet.com) >make sure the following is on or enabled:
‘Use SSL’ should be ‘ON’
Authentication should be ‘password’
Server port should be ‘465’
Press ‘done’ in the top-right

Still cannot send email from icloud .me address

hi. does anybody knows why i cannot send email from my ipad (ios 5.0.1) icloud me.com account? i can recieve but i cannot send. on my mac (lion) it works perfectly. the message i get is "the sender address .mac.com was rejected by the server". mac.com ?? but i use my me.com address. any ideas pls?
thank you

I have been having the same problems for the last two days now. It won't let me send, but it will let me save it to my drafts folder. I even tried opening the e-mail form my iPhone 5 and it won't let me send it there either. The last two times i ended up copying the contents from my failed e-mail on my phone and pasting that into a new e-mail and that works. I normally use the icloud web app to reply to e-mails when i'm at work (using win 7) and it is very frustrating.

I cannot change send emails from iOS5

Hi all,
I have an old "mac.com" userID Apple and I made a new "me.com" email address that I use on iCloud.
Everything works fine, except on my iPhone 4. I cannot send email from my me.com address from the phone.
I found out that in "Preferences>iCloud>Account" my email is the mac.com userID and not the me.com email address.
I think the phone tries to send emails using "mac.com" account, therefore the SMTP doesn't match.
I checked on the iCloud Account Informations on my preference pane of my iPhone and the "mac.com" email address in written in light grey, which means that I am not able to change it.
Any suggestions?
Thank you
G.S.

Hello,
Who is your eMail provider, the part after the @ sign?
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.

"Sender Name is Invalid" (can't send email from POP account) iPhone 2.1

I updated from V2.0.2 to V2.1 today. I also swapped out my original iPhone EDGE for a new iPhone EDGE due to unrelated problems with the speaker.
Upon testing things after restoring from backup to the new phone I discovered that I could no longer SEND email from my POP account. I could receive email just fine on that account. Sending and receiving email on my MobilMe account also worked, as did sending and receiving email via the POP account while on the Mac computer I use to sync with this iPhone.
After digging into this with AppleCare we discovered that somehow the Port Address for the Outgoing Mail Server for that POP account had been changed from 25 to 587 on the iPhone.
Changing it back to 25 fixed my problem.
We don't know whether the problem was due to the 2.1 upgrade or due to something in the restore process after swapping the phones.
If you get the error message "Sender Name is Invalid" while trying to send email from a POP account on your iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and select the line for your POP account.
Now scroll down to the Outgoing Mail Server entry which should show "SMTP" and the name of the outgoing mail server for that POP account. Select that line. This will display a list of servers with your POP account server showing at the top as the Primary Server. Select that line.
In the panel that displays, check the Server Port. If it is something odd like 587, that may be your problem. Select the line and you can edit it to something more normal like 25. Touch the "SMTP" button at the top left of the number entry screen to accept that new value.
We discovered that after correcting that value on the iPhone it STAYS corrected even after doing a new Sync with iTunes, or after MobileMe syncs.
--Bob

Sorry you had problems Bob.
Depending on the mail service you are using, Port 25 or Port 587 are usually acceptable for outgoing
SMTP mail. Many cafes will block the customary port 25 to prevent spammers from using their
wireless access.
There is a superb tutorial posted here:
http://www.webmail.us/docs/support/Macintosh-OSX-Mail.pdf
Also be sure for each mail account to turn ON the secondary AT&T server shown at the bottom
of the SMTP server list for each account -- it will make your transition from wireless to Edge
to 3G networks much more reliable.
Thanks for sharing what you've learned. Hope this helps.
