IOS Mail: outgoing email in limbo

I setup an IMAP email account on my iphone a few month back and I have been sending and recieving email without any problems until a few days ago... When, I replied to an email and it now sits in my outbox trying to send over and over again. It doesn't let me delete it and I can't stop it from trying to send. It still lets me send email, just this one keeps trying to send.
Please HELP!

Hi Sweta.
For sending outbound e-mails from SAP, the SAP system only supports integration with Outlook or Lotus Notes.
Kind Regards

Mail outgoing email issues

Yosemite outgoing Mail issues have been all over Internet since last Fall. I still have not seen Apple address the issue! Some suggestions from OS X Daily, etc. involve pref changes. However, I find that the pref changes disappear after they are made. I realize they must be selected to "save" but that option does not always present itself. Outgoing mail going as "reply" or forward" hangs up and creates an "outbox" which continues to try to send but has no success. This emails appear to be corrupted once they go there and must be trashed.
The only way I can get a "reply" or "forward" message out is to add a pdf doc at the end of the text in which I simply type "Intentionally Left Blank" so the receiver will not wonder why it is there. From now on, I think I will add "Page will remain blank until Apple wakes up and fixes this essential Mail app"! Perhaps we could add a live "clock" (like the national debt clock) that could continue to show the hours, days, weeks and months in which Apple failed to respond.
Can any Mac users help?

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore is not, in itself, a solution.
First, empty the Trash, if possible.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 $ 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

Mail: Outgoing emails have 'Possible Spam' in subject line.

When I send emails using Mail they are received with 'Possible Spam' added to the subject line. Of course they are not received at all by some providers like Yahoo, gmail and hotmail, also some others. I think it is a Mail problem because it does not happen when I use my provider's webmail rather than Mail. Help?

Who is your email provider? If your email is received by some people with the words "Possible Spam" in the Subject line, that's done by their email provider; it has nothing to do with Mail or Mac OS X. And if your email is being blocked by Yahoo! Mail, Gmail and Hotmail, that's something they are controlling. For some reason they may have blacklisted the domain of your provider for being a known sender of spam in the past.
The only way to cure that problem is to have your email provider contact the other email providers and try to get them to take you off their list of blocked or questionable domains.

TS3899 When sending email from the Mail App or through other Apps, my default From: address will change when I enter a To: address. This sometimes leads me to send the email from the wrong outgoing email account. It is frustrating and poor design.

When sending email from the Mail App or through other Apps on my iPad, my default From: address will change when I enter a To: address. This sometimes leads me to send the email from the wrong outgoing email account. It is frustrating and poor design, especially since I had already checked the From: address.
iPad 4 running iOS 8.1.3

3rd party email addresses have to be deleted on every synmced mac product, although I have 1and1.co.uk and my imac updatetes the mails in that account from mac mail.
Yahoo etc is a 2 step deleting process but good to get your emails pushed when on the go.

Outgoing email issue IOS 8.1

IPhone 6+ IOS 8.1
Since upgrading to 8.1 outgoing emails (smtp) require a network reset every day or so to work correctly.

Hello Clockworkmice,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you are having trouble sending mail on iOS. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

Why is iOS Mail adding recipients to a group email?

This is really for a friend of mine. I am well aware that iOS Mail cannot send group email. I have used/recommended 3rd party apps that successfully handle group email. Friend of mine I provide support for, just recently upgraded to iPhone 5 (not the S). He was able to upgrade free through Verizon. All his contact(s) info has remainder the same pre and post upgrade. However, when he now sends a group email, there are others that are receiving the email, that are NOT in the group list. They have contacted my friend, asking whey they are receiving the email. My friend has double-checked his contact and group list in iOS (Contacts App); and his email list on computer (Outlook). They both match, and do not contain the "added" names. I know I need to provide more info (what version of iOS, etc ...), but I don't have that info right now. But I can get it. Also, the server being used for email (outgoing and incoming) is Comcast. My friend uses a Comcast email address to send his email from/and to. Any suggestions? I would appreciate all!!
Would it have anything to do with whether he uses iCloud or iTunes to sync? Or both? I don't know why it would be a Comcast issue, because it worked just fine prior to upgrading to the iPhone 5. Thanks for all the help or point me in the right direction.

Scott,
Where did you implement this trigger? I would like to do the same thing. If I can get it to work as Portal30 I'd be happy. However, getting it to work for other users would be good to. I'll let you know if I figure it out for other users. Thanks.

How to use Apple Mail to send outgoing emails only?

Hello,
I haven't been able to find exactly what I'm looking for elsewhere on the interwebs.
I want to be able to set up the Apple Mail app on my Mac to send outgoing emails only from my Gmail account. I use the Gmail website and my iPhone for sending/receiving emails and I don't want or have a need for all of my Gmail emails to be downloaded into the Apple Mail app or for new emails to appear in the Mail app as they come in.
I just want to be able to send outgoing emails from the app so that I can send photos directly from iPhoto using the Email button. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Great news, thanks!

Is there a way to show only flagged email on iOS Mail?

I use Exchange 2007 at work with Outlook 2010. I also use my iPad to connect to my company Outlook Web Access. On the iPad I am able to mark a message as flagged. I use the flag on a message to indicate that there's some action that I need to take on the email. After I skim my inbox and flag all the emails with actionable items in them I go to my smart folder in Outlook which shows only my flagged messages so I can focus on those with actionable items. I noticed on IOS Mail there does not seem to be such smart folders and there seems to be no way to view only messages which are flagged.
Can someone please explain how to do this on the iPad. It is very important to me. In fact, it's so important, that I would switch to Windows Phone platform just to have this one feature.
Thanks!

I too would love to filter my inbox down to just flagged emails - I'm on iPad 3 with latest iOS, though it seems latest OS is not the problem, but rather a simple oversight in usability, and more important productivity.
On the note of productivity, why does it take SO MANY clicks to flag an email on iPad mail? Have to hit Edit > mark the email > Mark > Flag. I count three superfluous taps there. There should be a swipe action on the left (much like the swipe and Delete on the right hand side of the email heading) for flagging. And a simple little flag symbol at the top to hit when I want to see only flagged mails. Productivity should be the name of the game.
I also realise that venting in this forum probably isn't the best place for it...

E-mail looses all images if mail server doesn't accept outgoing email...

I open some web page in Safari, press Command+i, new email message is created and all web page content is inserted in the email message, including all images. Nice! I enter email address and send email.
If for some reason outgling mailserver doesn't accept my outgoing email, the same email is shown again to let me choose another outgoing mail server.
BUT - at this time all images in the email body are gone! Instead of the images I see blue rectangles with the white question marks on them. And if I proceed and send such email via another email server, recipients get email from me without pictures embedded in the email.
Can Apple fix this bug? It's really annoying, because quite often outgoing mail server of my ISP is not accepting my outgoing emails and I cannot resend email through another mail server, because images are already lost - I have to delete email, switch back to Safari, again Command+i, again enter email address and then change email account and then try to send again...

Posting this here is a good idea if you’re looking for possible solutions/workarounds, but if all you want is to let Apple know so that it’s fixed, you’d better do it in one of the following places:

On launch Mail's first outgoing email takes 3 minutes to send.

Every time I launch Mail in Snow Leopard, the very first outgoing email takes FAR too long to get out. All the following emails seem to go out normally. This happens to all Mac's on my network that have upgraded to Snow Leopard. A friend running Tiger was able to send out his first email after launch immediately. Seems to be a Snow Leopard issue. All emails are going through the same SMTP server.
Anyone else have this issue and/or suggestions?

Hi Vertical Interactive & welcome to discussions...
Two things you can try...
1.) Use the Mailbox menu to rebuild your inbox
2.) Find the /Library/Preferences folder in your user/Home folder and then locate and delete this file:
com.apple.mail.plist
*Caution* - deleting the plist may clear your account settings so be sure to note those first in the event you are required to reconfigure, etc.

Mail - outgoing message repeating within the email

My outgoing email messages are repeating themselves within the message - ie the receiver receives my message, then the same message is repeated again below it. This is a recent change, so I must have changed a setting somehow. Can you help me fix this?

Wendy,
Welcome to the Discussions.
What you are reporting, is an indication that you are using Rich Text Format, and either mixing fonts, or including a Signature or attachment. Mail 2.0 and 2.1 will convert RTF to HTML and the result, for the some recipients will be as you report. Test using Plain Text to Compose, and see if it is resolved.

Windows Live Mail 2012 - Outgoing Email Times Out due to Lost Server Connection

Using Windows Live Mail 2012 on WIN7 64-bit.
Been receiving emails seemingly without issues, but...
Haven't been able to POST any outgoing emails now since September 16th for any of my main/sub accounts.
Indicator is a Norton Internet Security popup stating:
"Email Error. Your email message was unable to be sent because the connection to your email server was interrupted. Please open your email client and resend the message from the Sent Messages folder." Then it lists the from/to/subj.
I recompose and try to resend; same results.
I've rolled WIN7 back to September 6th, but results are the same.
I thought perhaps NIS was blocking the SMTP port, but same results when I turn off NIS and Antivirus. I don't see anything of significance in NIS's logs.
Of course, Verizon's mini-app that sniffs out and corrects email problems does not know or care about Live Mail. Just Outlook and OE.
Ideas? Things to try? Thanks.

I noticed my email account server settings don't match what is defined on the FiOS email setup page on verizon.com.
The server setting I have for my POP3 is "incoming.verizon.net" (not pop.verizon.net) and my SMTP server setting is "outgoing.verizon.net" (not smtp.verizon.net).
Why don't these match?
Also, my port settings don't seem to match what's posted online.
My outbound port is 25 (not 465) and my inbound port is 110 (not 995).
Doesn't seem right to me, and I'm wondering what changed in the past week?
The changes to pop/smtp from incoming/outgoing have been in the works for a while. Maybe Verizon finally go around to disabling the old servers?
Either way, you should update to the latest settings.
For the sake of example, we are going to pretend that we are setting up fictional account "[email protected]" and the password for logging into that account in webmail is "fakepassword" - Again, this is a fictitious account for the sake of an example.
The settings for using Verizon's servers would be:
Incoming Server: pop.verizon.net
Server Requires Authentication: Yes
Username: fakeacct
Password: fakepassword
Requires a Secure Connection (SSL): Yes
Port: 995
Outgoing Server: smtp.verizon.net
Server Requires Authentication: Yes (You can set it to use the same settings as incoming, or manually enter the username and password.)
Requires a Secure Connection (SSL): Yes
Port: 465
If you are given the option anywhere for Secure Password Authentication (SPA), set it to No or Normal

IOS Mail Retaining All Email, Can't Selectively Delete Old Messages

Thought I missed something in setup for my POP3 accounts, but apparently not. Got almost a years worth of email on the device with thousands of messages, many with large attached files, and no apparent way to trim it down. Unlike every other mobile PDA device I’ve ever owned, there is no way to set a limit to how many days/months/years of email messages that an iPhone will retain. There is also no way to selectively choose email messages for deletion based on how many days/months/years old they are. Am I missing something fairly obvious here?

Webmail on a server has no effect on POP3 clients, like the iPhone's IOS mail. Once they're picked up by the email client, only the client, itself, can access them.
Email clients for more than 30 years have had this basic function. Absolutely amazing that Apple deliberately left it out of this one.

Outgoing Email: Fine on iPhone - Broken in Mail.app (Same IP)

Hi All,
Within the last 48 hours I've been unable to send outgoing email from Mail.app. It works fine from my iPhone - same IP, same network. What gives?
Thanks!

Now it's working? I'll keep the post going for a little bit, but I (hope) it's solved itself.

How do flagged emails in iOS Mail app sync with Gmail Starred emails?

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how the "Flagged" mailbox on iOS mail interacts with Gmail's "starred" messages. It seems that messages that I star on Gmail and then archive do not show up in the Flagged mailbox on iOS, and that only starred messages that are still in my inbox show up. Is that correct? DOes anyone know a workaround to get starred and archived messages to show up?
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply, but the Gmail app is not the solution. I have three different accounts, and I want to have just one folder where all my flagged/starred emails are collated. I don't want to be jumping between different accounts.
