Iphone 3gs emails send but won't receive

I have an iphone 3gs. The tech guy at work gave me the settings to set my email up on a pop server. It sent my test email but it does not receive any emails. The error on my desktop computer email was:
The following recipient(s) could not be reached:
...............com on 1/22/2010 3:55 PM
No route was found for the recipient server. Please contact your system administrator.
The settings are the same for incoming and outgoing mail and I double checked it all. Any ideas?

The likely explanation is that the settings you used for your POP (receiving) server are wrong.

The correct settings for the POP server are often different from the SMTP (sending) server.

  • HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177 Series Fax sends but won't receive faxes

    I can send faxes using HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177 Series Fax but I cannot receive them. I have faxed test pages and the setup is correct. Any suggestions?

    Hello DBrad8,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're unable to receive a fax using the Laserjet MFP M177. I will do my best to assist you! First, I need to find out what type of added features do you have on your fax line? Please post these information on this thread.
    Do you have an answer machine on this line? If so, how many rings to answer is this set to?
    Do you have an Internet Service on this line?
    Please follow this entire HP document on Cannot Send or Receive Faxes. Run a fax test page and let me know if everything passed or if anything failed. I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!

  • Mail sends but won't receive

    My problem started out with one of my mailboxes' passwords not sticking.  I'm still having that problem.  Now my other one will not download any new messages from the server but I did send a link to a friend this morning, so something's connecting.  The error message on the supposed "good" mailbox said "there may be a problem with the mail server or network.  And that "the connection to the server on port 995 timed out."
    I"ve changed nothing in preferences except tried to input the correct password on the "bad" mailbox.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • E72 sends email, but won't receive

    I posted this last week at the end of a year old post, but only received word from the original poster telling that his fix was to get an I-Phone. After many years of dealing with Nokia idiosyncrasies, several months ago, I too gave up and got an I-Phone. It is beautifully reliable. Unfortunately, my daughter's phone died, and a friend gave me a new E72 for her. It looks like I'm back to Nokia reliability. Can anyone help restore my continually fading faith in Nokia? Here's my problem:
    I've set up email manually, through the set up wizard, and I'm attempting to point "Sync Email " to one the of many accounts now in my phone. The email accounts can send, but won't receive. I have gotten into a never ending loop:
    The help screen says to "To start synchronising email messages between your device an the e-mail server, select options>synchronise" However, there is no "synchronise" under options.
    If I go into "messaging">options>settings>email", all the emails accounts that I have created show, but if I go into "messaging">options>settings>sync email", it shows "Mailbox in Use" "None".
    When I click on "none", I get the message "No Mailbox defined. Define now?
    Sure, I'll try it again. I click "yes"
    My old friend the email set up wizard appears. Create another account.
    Goto 1
    I've contacted Nokia. First, I was told to pull the battery and wait 5-10 mins. Same problem. Next, I was told to do a factory reset. Same problem. Finally, I was told that if it wasn't a tested pop3 (gmail, yahoo, etc), Nokia doesn't support it. I doesn't seem to matter that every Nokia I have had in the past work with my email server.
    Has anyone found a Nokia-based solution to this problem?
    Thank you for putting up with my frustration and for offering any possible solutions that you can suggest.

    Hey Jason,
    I have ran into this situation quite a few times in my experiences with fax issues,  it very well could be the digital line itself. My last suggestions for you would be to try a power reset on the printer, and also try a filter on the fax line to see if that could help the line. If you are still having issues with sending faxes, give us a call to our technical support to see if there are any more options for you.
    Press the Power button to turn on the product.
    With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
    If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
    Here is an example of a filter:

  • My iPhone won't send email messages - but it can receive them!

    If, following a password change on you AOL account, you find your iPhone will no longer transmit/send out email messages, but can still receive them, it's a quirk of the system . . . but you can fix it easily.  Here's the why and how:
    Transmit problems after you change password for AOL.  This would be no problem except that the iPad and iPhone allow you to alter only the incoming email password 'manually' (to match up with AOL), but won't allow you to change the password for "SMTP" sending of email, i.e., outgoing messages.  Of course, if you can't update BOTH to your new AOL password, it means you can only receive emails; not send.  Thus, to update both receiving and sending, you have to REINSTALL AOL:   Here's how:
    (a) in Settings, select Mail, Contacts & Calendars,
    (b) under Accounts, select AOL (if you only have AOL on that device, it will automatically be pre-selected)
    (c) With you AOL email address in the "Account" line, select "Delete Account" and confirm,
    (d) once deleted, go ahead and perform a "soft shutdown" of the iPhone:  hold down the "off" button of the iPad/iPhone to shut down the whole system, then turn it back on a minute or so later by holding down the "on/off" button for a couple of seconds until you see the white Apple, giving the system time to restore to a normal desktop, then . . .
    (e) go back to Utilities :: Mail, Contacts, Calendars :: under Accounts select "Add Account" and follow instructions (not hard),
    (f) once that's all done, go back and look at your AOL account and be sure the "SMTP" part is turned "ON" with the green toggle switch.    The new account will be ready to use immediately, with the new password working for sending and receiving emails.
    (g) send yourself a "test message" to confirm that it transmits and is also received with no error messages.

    TThe issue is with your email account charter, especially if the error message states the your outgoing mail server is wrong.  not an issue with your phone, software or Apple.

  • TS3276 I have my email set up, I can send, but I cannot receive mail.  What could be wrong ?

    I have my email set up, I can send, but I cannot receive mail.  What could be wrong ?

    SMTP is the protocol used to send mail, where IMAP and POP are the protocols used to receive mail.  ISPs can have different servers for these protocols. 
    In this case, the specified receiving (IMAP or POP) server, or the receiving user and password credentials, are likely incorrect.
    What does the Connection Doctor diagnostic tool report?
    Mail.app's Window menu > Connection Doctor
    To check or change the settings, select Mail.app's Mail menu > Preferences... > Accounts and select the account you need to edit in the left column.
    The receiving information will be displayed for the selected Account, with either POP or IMAP shown.  Confirm with the ISP that your POP or IMAP mail settings are correct per the ISP's recommendations, as well.   And in general, IMAP is preferable to POP, if you have the option of using either of those with your ISP.

  • My iphone 3gs wont send or recieve calls but sms is working

    My iphone 3gs wont send or recieve calls but sms is working.Signal is good & plenty of credit

    First step is to clean the iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush, also use a bit of Isopropyll Alcohol, and clean especially the pins which are on top of the dock midrib.
    Let it dry for a minute. Then open iTunes on computer, then connect iPhone to computer, then hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone is recognized by iTunes in Recovery Mode. Usually about 20 seconds time of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware.

  • Iphone 3GS Email issue

    I just purchased an Iphone 3GS (previous owner of 3G)
    Had email setup through Push with my works Exchange server with out any problems.
    Now, every so often I try to send an email with an attachment(or forward it)it gets stuck in my out box and won't send.
    I have full signal!
    Error: "Cannot Send Mail" An Error occurred while delivering your this message.
    Ever since I have upgraded to 3GS I have been having issues sending email.
    There are a few other people in the office experiencing the same problem with their 3gs, and all of the people with 3g are still not having any problems.
    None of the settings at my job have changed at all.
    Any help would be nice.

    *Large Email and Attachment Test Results:*

    repeated steps above and it went.
    Patience ultimately pays off here.
    Sent from my iPhone 3GS
    This iPhone 3GS Email was Sent (Put in the Outbox at 3:53 PM.
    To confirm the ability to still send email I sent another email at 4:44 PM, no attachment went through and was confirmed received by the recipient at 4:44 PM. Email continues to send, and receive bypassing the stuck larger email in the Outbox.
    This Photo is 2.25 MB, all the while when asked to Fetch you will receive the Error on your iPhone saying Cannot Send Mail An error occurred while delivering this message. Though this documentation event is regarding a 2.25 MB file this happens as low as 81 KB, and I believe even smaller sizes. There have still been times when sending files up to 200 + KB that have gone through with little or no delay.
    I tested this during an Apple iCare Support session and naturally the email with attachment happened to go through during the Support Phone call.
    Checking the size of the attachments they probably weren't the best examples to test with, 55 KB, and 220 KB.
    Going into Sent Box...Seems to be an accelerator for the Checking Mail...It also seems to have a positive impact on the sending of EMails with Attachments...I just discovered this but hope this will be valid.

    Best solution would be to give or sell it to someone in Mexico who can use it.  You can do othing with it if it is locked o  Mexican cell carrier.
