IPhone 2.0 can't send email

None of my four mail accounts will send from my iPhone (first gen/ 2.0) ("connection with smtp server.... failed"), after syncing with iTunes/mobileme. I have a roadrunner account and all works from my mac laptop, and I receive email on iPhone just fine. I checked the configuration of each mail account on my iPhone and they appear to be identical to those on the laptop. I've reset everything, turned everything off and on... Anyone else experiencing this issue?

I am having a very similar problem. When I try to send or reply to any email I get 'the recipient is invalid' error message every time. I also have an intermittent issue where the iphone just won't fetch email unless I reboot it. This just started happening when I applied the 2.0 upgrade to first gen IPhone.

My SMTP setting is gone from my iPhone and I can't send emails. How do I fix it?

Hi,
My SMTP setting is gone from my iPhone and I can't send emails. How do I fix it? Under my email settings the whole server part is missing and I don't know why it's gone or how that happened.
How do I fix it?
Thanks

Delete the account and re-add it.
Standard troubleshooting steps from the manual are restart, reset, restore as new. Which ones have you tried???

Iphone 3G, Mobileme can't send email

Hi all
I can't seem to send email with my iphone 3g and mobileme. I have had mobileme for 1 year and iphone for nearly 2 years and I'm still depending on gmail to send email with my iphone. I have tried several times to delete account and set it up again. I have tried to set up mail on my iphone with the settings on my mac that actually works.- It doesn't work

Consolidated says it is a phone issue and that I should contact apple for support or AT&T. Of course for $15 additional each month, 12 month minimum, they can look into it further for me. What a rip off with Consolidated.
Does anyone else have any suggestions?

I can't send emails from iPhone until I connect to my wifi! I am with bigpond and have a bigpond email address. Can anyone help me?

I can't send emails from iPhone until I connect to my wifi at home. I am with bigpond and have a bigpond email address. Can anyone help me?

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

TS3899 I still can not send email from my ipad but iPhone works on those accounts

I still can not send email from my .mac account or a .comcast.net from my ipad. I how 2 people so far that has brought to my attention. We have exchange accounts setup on the ipads for work. I compare the settings from iPad to iPhone from my view it appears identical. I am looking at an iPad 2 and a Mini.
I turned on and off the ipads and nothing really changed. The emails come into those accounts.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

When you say you can't send...as in they never get the email? Does the email appear to send? Error message? When?
It may be more than one iPad that has a problem....

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.

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.

IPhone 5 no longer receive emails, but can still send emails with yahoo email account. Any ideas to fix?

iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1.2 stopped receiving mail yesterday. Have yahoo email account. Can still send emails. Have turned device off/on. Have done the dual off/on thing using top button and menu button. Issue seems to be only with main inbox, as sub folders are receiving mail. Other Apple device is not having issues like this, just on iPhone.

Your issue is with the Yahoo email account which is notoriously bad.
you can try deleting and reinstalling the email account.
If that doesn't fix it try the yahoo email app.

Iphone 4s in settings can't access Notes or Mail. Also can't access mail from home screen. Can't send email. All else is good.

I need help. I have reset my iphone. I have turned it off then on. Still can't launch my built in mail app from home screen. When I try it goes to blank page then right back to home screen view.
In settings for the iphone 4s I can not access Notes or Mail, Contacts,Calendars. When I tap either of the two they highlight in blue and then go right back to Home Screen view. I seem to be able to access everything else in settings with no trouble.
From home screen I have no trouble I can launch the built in utility Notes with no problem. I also can launch Calendars from Home Screen view. My Contacts are still reachable by tapping Phone from H/S view then clicking on contacts.
I can not launch mail. nor can I send email. Also the built in mail app is not showing it is recieving mail either. All else seems fine.
I can log in to my email from Safari on iphone and from my laptop with no problem.
Anyone have any suggestions? My iphone is out of warranty. Apples only suggestions are To pay for support.
Thanks in advance

Just had a thought....was trying to rememberif anything changed last night. I think I installed a mac OS X Security update. That's about the time the trouble started. Any ideas? Thanks.

Can't send emails with pictures bigger than 8mb on iphone 4s

Hi , I can not send email with pictures attached (3 or 4 pictures) higher than 8MB. I have an Iphone 4S

Pictures usually size is 2 or 2.2MB each, when i try to send 4 at the same time the phone takes about 10 minutes or more to send it and finally a message in the sent folder shows "Can not send email" and thats it, if I reduce the size of the pictures sending again to ~5MB the email goes ok.
