Ipad mail app won't send hotmail emails

I'm having trouble sending emails from my hotmail account. Every time I try it comes up with "cannot send mail - an error occurred while delivering this message"
I have try closing and reopening the app, rebooting the ipad, removing and adding the hotmail account....all did not work
Any other ideas?

I had this issue and this was what worked for me, I was using the "hotmail" option.
1. go to settings
2. go to mail, contacts, calendars
3.delete your email from device
4. click "add account"
5. there should be different account options, chose "other"
6. chose "add mail account" and do so
You should be able to send now, but you might want to check how it updates. Certain email options used "push" which lets you know you have a new email the moment you get it, much like a text message. "Other" only allows you to have "fetch" which updates every selected amount of mintues, and "Manual" which does exactly what it says.
7. It should return you to the mail, contacts, calendars page. Press "Fetch New Data"
8. there will be a list of when it will update your email. The less it updates, the easier it is on battery life. There is a manually option.
9. If you want to use the actually "Manual" Update schedule then press "Advance" then your account.
10. There you can chose "Fetch" (which I suggest if you use email a lot and there is a manual option there anyways) or "Manual"
I really hoped this helped! If it did then well....awesome.

Ipad mail app won't send Virgin emails

I can receive emails on my Virgin account but when I try to send, I get the following message -
A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The sender address <my [email protected]> was rejected by the server.
Please can any one help? Thanks

IPad Mail app won't auto rotate

The iPad mail app does not auto rotate on my iPad. All the other apps rotate fine. The rotation isn't locked. And yes, I am aware that if I reset or shut down the iPad, rotation will restore. However, eventually, it always ends up locked. This is a bug of some type in the operating system. Does anyone know if Apple knows about this and intends to fix it? It is extremely annoying.

I have seen other users have the same issue, but not as a recurring problem. In light of that, I don't think that Apple would consider it a bug that needs to be fixed. Perhaps, restoring your iPad from a backup, resetting all settings, or restoring to factory settings and starting all over again would help.
But if you think that it is something that needs to be fixed.....

Ipad mail.app won't display unread msgs in subfolders on IMAP server

Mail.app on my MBP (Snow Lion) reads all the unread messages (using a smart mailbox) in the sub-folders on the IMAP server I use (shared hosting).
Mail.app on my iPad 3 (and Sparrow too for that matter) will not display All Unread Messages (my caps, as an example). If I tunnel down into a sub-folder it displays them correctly with the Unread flag but there appears to be no equivalent of the Smart Mailbox Unread Mail in mail.app SL on the iPad.
Have I missed something or does this capacity not exist in iPad's Mail.app?

Mail app won't send mail, but it will receive mail

The mail app on my macbook pro and iphone will not send mail, but they can recieve mail. I deleted both accounts and reloaded them and they still won't work. After that I ran repair permissions and it found nothing wrong. Has anyone experienced this problem and how can I fix this?

I had same problem with my MBA and Mac Desktop (don't have iPhone)...could receive but not send emails after Lion upgrade. I only experienced it at home versus at work (inconsistently on both on my macbook air and my desktop mac).
For me the solution was when you compose an email there are two dropdown listboxes next to From: ...in the second one select smtp.me.com:yourusername Until Apple makes a change you might need to do that each time you send or reply to a message.
I think it has something to do with if you don't do that then port 25 might get used which can be blocked by a lot of ISPs.
Apple support helped me solve this problem and said it was a known issue they are working on.
Hope this helps with your issue!

Mail app won't send messages out

I am logged into gmail on my iPhone 4 mail app. I tried to reply to a message yesterday and it wouldn't work. The message sat in my outbox saying "unsent" because I needed to go to my mail account settings and enter a password. Well I went to settings, mail, account, and my password was stored there. I re-typed it anyway to see what would happen. I went back to the mail app, and the message still has not sent. But now I don't have an Outbox folder on the main page either! The only way I know it's still unsent is because when the app refreshes, it says 1 Unsent Message on the bottom of the screen.
So my question is, what is going on, where did my outbox go, why did it tell me to enter a password, and most importantly, why won't my message send?!
I was connected to wifi, if that makes a difference. And does it make a difference if it was a reply versus a new message? I just tried a test email, connected through 3G, and it says it sent.

Something stuck in the cache? Try a reset. To reset the iPhone, press and hold the home and sleep/wake buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the slide to power off prompt).

Mail app won't send mail to my .me or .mac account

My ISP is roadrunner in Rochester, NY. On my iMac, running Tiger, my wife, in her account, can send and recieve email just fine using her roadrunner mail account with the mail app. The problem is that wen she sends email to my .mac or .me account, it doesn't reach me. There are no error messages and the mail successfully shows up in her sent folder. In comparison, I have my roadrunner account set up so that it forwards all my mail to .me. If she sends me mail using my roadrunner address, it reaches me.
Does anyone have any idea why her account is failing at sending mail to .me or .mac but works with everything else?

Most if not all internet service providers (ISPs) now block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP on Port 25 which is the default or standard port for SMTP servers.
Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only (such as the .Mac SMTP server) on Port 25 but some block its use regardless.
These restrictions are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
.Mac's SMTP server and Gmail's SMTP server are what is called Password authenticated. I don't know if the SMTP server for your school's account is authenticated.
Do you not know who your internet service provider is which would be the ISP you use when connected to the internet at your apartment?
If you weren't having any problems before, sounds like all these different networks with different ISPs that you use to connect to the internet don't block the use of an authenticated SMTP server and if you send messages with all three email accounts when connected to the internet with different ISPs, the SMTP server for your school's account must be authenticated also.
Lets check the settings for .Mac's SMTP server. Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below.
The settings should be as follows:
Outgoing Mail Server - or SMTP server: smtp.mac.com
Server Port: 587
Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): Can be selected or not selected.
Authentication (Type): Password
User Name: The portion of your .Mac email address in front of the @ sign only.
Password: The account's password - the same password used to check the account for new messages.

Mail App won't Send Mail on Macbook Air, Outlook works fine

Mail app will no longer send, from my new 2011 Macbook Air with Lion. The MS Outlook app sends fine.

This was the answer:
This happened to me after updating to Lion. This is what I did.
When mail tries sending/receiving you'll see the spinning icon next to the trays on the left hand side. Whilst this is happening click onwindow>Connection Doctor. Find the offending account, red dot, double click on the account and in the window that opens check the details inAccount Information and Advanced are correct; mine weren't and when I corrceted them, all was well. These details semed to be different to those I had set in the Preferences pane of mail.
Good luck,
Andy
what this does is guide you through editing the smtp port list, which is a bit hard to locate on the accounts screen.
mail cycles through the possible smtp ports, which can take a VERY long time. Usually 587 is what you want, but in any case, pick one, see if it works, tell it not to cycle.

Mail app won't send attachments

A few days ago my macbook pro stopped sending email with attached files, and so did my wife's macbook (both running snow leopard at the start of the problem). Regular mail is sent but both sending an receiving is painstakingly slow. Progress bar appears but near the end the transfer rate slows to reach zero and stays there forever.
Webmail access to my account won't let me send attachments either.
Problem happens with yahoo plus, hotmail and workplace mail servers. Also from home (through broadband telephone access connected to an airport extreme base station) or from wifi access at work, at work downloading messages is fast though. Doesn't happen when sending through my ipad2.
I have reset the broadband modem and base station, rebuilt permissions in both computers, changed MTU settings and upraded my macbook pro to lion with no success.
Any ideas?

I don't think so because I used to send 2MB or 3 MB files with no problem and now it won't let me send a 60K word document. It also happened out of the blue, no system updates or preference tweaking whatsoever.

IPhone Mail App Closes while sending an email - losing email

I am getting very frustrated with my iPhone closing the Mail application right after I initiate the send command for an email. Usually this occurs after I have typed in a long email --- it is lost and I have to re-type it in! There is no warning as it begins to show the progress bar, closes, and returns to the main screen. Most emails are sent without any issue, though it seems that it is the longer ones (typed and/or larger attachments 200k+). This happened before and after the OS update (1.1.4). This is occuring on a 8GB iPhone, synching with a Thinkpad T60 running XP Pro SP2.
Any thoughts???

BobLoblaw,
You may want to try some basic troubleshooting on your phone:
Try resetting your iPhone. To reset the iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time until you see the Apple logo.
If that doesn't work, then try to reset all settings. To reset settings, Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. Note: This will reset all settings. No data or media will be deleted.
If that still doesn't work, you can try restoring the iPhone using iTunes. To restore, connect the iPhone to your computer. When it appears in the Source list, click on Restore in the Summary tab. Note: This will delete all media and data. All settings will be reset as well. If possible, sync iPhone with iTunes before restoring to back up your most recent settings.
Hope this helps,
Jennifer B.

My Mail app won't let me email anyone?

I just got my iMessage to work after 6 hours! But now my email keeps telling me to go check the settings for the outgoing servers the mail and contacts part in my settings. I looked and nothing seems to mention an outgoing server. Could this problem be due to the Apple server problem? Or is my iPad just messed up?

try: port 587, authentication, username as yr incoming mail u/name, password likewise. Also, SSL may help the authentication process, fooling the server into better authorisation. You may get a warning screen the first time, something like yr server may not be secure etc., just ignore it, say ok and if you get the whoosh sound, the mail's gone.
Also, try a Keychain first aid repair.

Mail app won't send

cannot send messag using the server...
use the pop up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server. all messages will use this server until you quit mail or change your network settings.

tried deleting the outbox folder like suggested to someone else for whatever problems they had and still no luck.
its causing me much anger. any suggestions?

Applescript for mail.app won't send attachment

I have an applescript to send a mail attachment but the mail sends without the attachment? Anyone know why?
set theContent to (current date) as string
set theSubject to "excel file"
set theTarget to "someone @someplace.com"
set theSender to "admin"
set theName to "some name"
set theAttachment to "mcp0_HD:Users:bill:Site:logs:deviceLogs.xls"
tell application "Mail"
set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:theSubject, content:theContent & return & return}
tell newMessage
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {visible:true, name:theName, address:theTarget}
set sender to theSender
tell content
make new attachment with properties {file name:theAttachment} at after the last paragraph
send newMessage
end tell
end tell
end tell

If you are still having problems, then there is something wrong with your file that you are trying to attach, or your declaration of this variable:
set theAttachment to "mcp0_HD:Users:bill:Site:logs:deviceLogs.xls"
Examine that very carefully. It is also a good idea to use the *path to* nomenclature (see the Dictionary for *+Standard Additions+* for more details) to access a file in cases like these. For example, here is the pertinent portion of a script that I have used since the Panther days to do precisely what you are trying to do:
set pay_Path to ((path to documents folder as text) & "Cathouse:Payroll:Paysheets:Today.xls")
tell application "Mail"
set b to make new outgoing message with properties {sender:"[email protected]", subject:("Payroll")}
set content of b to "Hello:
Here is the payroll ending today: " & return & return
tell b's content
make new attachment with properties {file name:pay_Path as alias} at after the last paragraph
end tell
tell b to make new to recipient with properties {address:"[email protected]"}
send b
end tell
I use this every other week to report my payroll to my accountant. It has never failed, and I am using Leopard (10.5.7).
Good luck,

Someone is probably sending spam with your address forged on the To: line. Could be one of your old contacts with a Windows machine has a virus that's doing it. It's also possible your e-mail account has been hacked, though I'd think such a hacker would be a bit more purposeful.
