IPad suddenly won't send mail

My iPad has suddenly stopped sending emails after sending them with no problem for 6 months. I've tried re-entering my smtp address, but all that seems to do is cause the settings screen to freeze so that I have to re-start the iPad. Any ideas? My outgoing email server is smtp.orangehome.co.uk

make sure if over wifi the wifi router don't block the ports required by the smtp
if over 3g contact the carrier
test if it's the case for both devices
verify not just the stmp server is correct also encryption, ssl authentication and ports and all other stmp settings are as the mail provides guide they could have changed it

IPad 2 won't send mail

Actually this is a query about my parents ipad 2. They cant send email, but can receive it. We can be connected to same wi fi and my ipad email will send, but theirs won't. We have tried restarting it, with no results. Could it be because their apple ID passwords are the same as their hotmail address and password? Please bear in mind I am not a techno bod

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.

Outbox won't send mail

Had a problem earlier with my email account (Yahoo) being hacked, After resetting password all seemed to be well, but now my iPad won't send mail, it goes into OUTBOX but won't send. Receiving mail is no problem.
I am new to iPad and need a bit of help.
Thanks
John

Brilliant! Thanks Jaimi E.
My iPad did resume 'normal service' after an overnight rest. I did not know that there was an imposed 24hr quarantine, but I do know that all's well now.
I found The BT staff in their technical help desk were good at fixing the original hacking problem on my laptop, but totally helpless at sorting the iPad issues out.
I had to talk to Apple help desk in UK who in turn put me through to the USA. Their consultant was great, but he undoubtedly didn't seem to aware of the quarantine imposed by Yahoo. I will try to get this information through to him for future information
Thanks to all for your assistance.
My message to anyone who reads this topic and has been hacked on Yahoo (or btinternet) is
1 update security passwords on laptop. New password required. Delete all traces of hacked messages (inc failed delivery notices and real people's responses)
2 uninstall your mail settings on iPad and reinstall with new mail password on iPad.
3 the iPad mail system should then receive, but not send mail (goes into Outbox)
4 wait 24 hours then everything will be back to normal.
As a brand new user and about to go on a long holiday, it was a nightmare, but ended up fine!
Now in Singapore at 6am local time, can't sleep so catching up on my machine which functions perfectly!

I'm using ipad2 with ios5. My outbox won't send mail. I guess i need an outgoing server and can't find it anywhere.

I'm using ipad2 with ios5. My outbox won't send mail. I guess i need an outgoing server and can't find it anywhere. Any suggestions on how to get it to send. I have tried everything, rebooting, ensuring passwords are correct, etc.

My problem is i don't have an outgoing server spot on my menu. These are my selections. After getting to the menu that where i enter my password for hotmail, i have the following menu choices: Email, then server (bay-m.hotmail.com, then domain (empty), then username, then password, thendescription, then Use SSL, then S/MIME
I don't see or can find an outgoing server choice. My daughter has an ipad2 using Ios4 and she has all the choices that are illustrated on. All the help sites. I only have the ones listed above.

All of a sudden I cannot send mail but I still receive it. Help?

All of a sudden I cannot send mail although I still receive. Anyone have an answer to this?

Do you get an error message?
You can go back into the mail account settings and scroll to the outgoing mail server and see if you can enter a password, same one as your incoming mail server.

Try restarting the iPad by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.

MBP won't send mail

I have both a MBP & MBA. For some reason the MBP has stopped sending mail from the mail app. The out going server is the same with both; smtp.me.com:user name. However, the MBP won't send mail.
I thought it was a MobileMe problem. Then this morning I picked up the MBA and as soon as MobileMe did a sync there was the out going mail that was in my out box on the MPB. MobileMe did a sync and immediately sent the mail. I'd already tried MobileMe Express Lane this morning, but the site isn't working ... come back later.
I'm stumped as to why the MobileMe mail works on the MBA and not the MBP where the mail originated.
Any ideas?

Double check with your ISP for the correct Outgoing Mail Server format.

After years of use, AOL mail now won't send mail using firefox

I have used AOL with FIREFOX for years. However, now it won't send mail, the send button, and the reply button are dead, inoperative.
I have updated FIREFOX, it didn't help.
I can't think of anything that has changed, although something no doubt has

Outgoing mail suddenly won't send

For years I've had a POP account, using Mac Mail to send and rec ATT/Yahoo mail. In the past week or so, my account has decided it won't send anything and says the server can't be accessed. However, incoming mail works fine, and my wife's POP account on another log-in with ATT/Yahoo mail also works fine sending and receiving. I tried deleting my account and starting over, which allowed me to send one email successfully. Next time I logged in, though, it was back to balking. Any ideas?

Hey, I found a fix for Mac who use ATT / UVerse / Yahoo!!
The directions that are given by ATT are only good for setting up an ATT e-mail account on a Mac. If for some reason you need to use another provider (gasp!) their settings will NOT work. The workaround is to have an agent open up port 25 so that you can use another outgoing smtp server. In my case, my provider is fatcow.com (really!). So once port 25 was opened up I could add smtp.fatcow.com as an outgoing mail server. In that case, they do require password authentication. Your case may be simpler and you may not need authentication at all (Inisight, WOW, RoadRunner etc.)
So it is possble, despite the dearth of information on ATT's UVerse web site. : P
Cheers,

E-mail suddenly won't send. I've been using this account on this iMac for years.

When I try to send, I get an error message that it can't send mail on this server. I've checked all my settings and rebuilt the mailbox. The settings are the same as on my iPhone, and the phone has no problem sending. I can also send using my account directly on the ISP web site, so my mail account is working and the passwords are correct. When I use the Connection Doctor, it says it has no problem making connections (all green lights.) Any ideas?

YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER! I reinstalled the program and everything. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! MY HERO!!!

Only one Mac won't send mail

I have 4 macs in the house, and suddenly one won't send email. all the others will. No changes, upgrades nothing. I have tried all the suggestions in the discussion for this problem. Also it is intermittent. Works sometimes, other times nothing. I have both a cox and .mac account

you posted this in the BATTERY AND POWER section of the MBA forum - you might get a better response by posting in the OSX or MAIL forums....

Previously working email account now won't send mail

I have several email accounts on both my iPad and iPhone. One of them on the iPad has stopped sending mail from one fo the accounts, but continues to receive mail. I haven't changed anything - and before I began to fault find, the settings on both devices were the same (with the spole exception of the Outgoing Server Port which was 110 on the iPad and 995 on the iPhone.
I have deleted the account on the iPad and recreated it - I changed the Server Port of 110 to both 995 and later to 25 (having seen on a forum somewhere else, being told that 'this will solve the problem').
Nothing changed. Can still receive mail into the account, but replies to messages and new mail messages don't leave - the error message is that the mail has been 'rejected by server.
On my iPhone, laptop the account works fine.
Anyone able to help - I've Googled but dont' seem to find any reason why a perfectly good, working account should suddenly stop working when nothing has been changed to cause it to stop, or any other advice other than changing the Outgoing Server Port. - Which I've done to both 995 and 25 (from the original 110)
TIA
Greg

John Burnes,
Port 25 may not work on some WiFi hotspots or the EDGE network, or may only send to some recipients but not others. Many email providers will also set up their SMTP servers to listen for authenticated connections on either port 465 or 587.
For example, .Mac does this because many consumer internet providers filter or block port 25 traffic:

My macbook pro suddenly won't send emails.

They sit in my outbox. Please can you help.
This suddenly happened this morning when I tried to send a video. I cancelled that message bit it froze the whole thing although one message seems to have got through.

My Macbook Pro suddenly won't read my 750GB WD Elements Hard drive.
If I'm not mistaken, this drive is bus-powered. MBPs seem to have frequent problems with bus-powered drives, probably because they don't provide enough power on the USB bus.
In disk utility though it says it is a 2.2TB hard drive
It is possible that the drive or USB interface are damaged. However, it is too early to decide. You need to connect the drive to a desktop machine (Mac or PC), or provide more power to the drive (with a power supply, if the drive accepts it, or a USB Y-cable and a USB power supply, rated 1A or more).

All of a sudden I cannot send mail

Reboot your iPad:
To reboot your iPad, hold down the sleep/wake button and the home button simultaneously until the screen goes black and the Apple logo appears. If, during this process, a slider appears on the screen to power it off, ignore it and keep holding the buttons down.
Rebooting your iPad can solve a lot of problems. If this doesn't fix it, report back.

Mail won't send mail when in wireless mode but works fine when wired

Ok, this happens all the time. I have several pop email accounts, all of which work fine when I am hooked in to an ethernet cable, but Apple Mail won't send any of my outgoing mail form any of my accounts when i'm am working wirelessly.
I always get a message like:
Cannot send message using server smtp.name.net
I try to switch servers and I cycle through all of them, getting them same message, followed by things like:
The server response was: 5.1.2 Bad or missing RCPT domain k39sm5757680wah
Any advice.

Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same), uncheck (disable) the rest of network port configurations and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
You may use “network locations” to more easily switch between network settings if necessary, as described here:
