IPhone 5 receives emails but won't send them

-- now sorted thanks to Judian35's reply (Jan '13) to a previous query. Worked a treat, but the email sending should've worked first time surely? Seemed a strange sort of fix to me. Diesels and hydraulics more my bag....

You will need to go to your email settings - SMTP outgoing mail server and make sure the password is correct.

TS3276 I can receive emails but I cannot send them. I have recently renewed my password. What do I do to send emails please?

Help! I can receive emails but I cannot send them. I have recently changed my password. What am I doing wrong?

You need to open Mail>Preferences>Accounts>"Account Information" tab>and there input the required information for your Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP). Your Internet Service Provider will have the required information to give you to input here. Make sure that you also click at the end of the line "Outgoing Mail Server" on the arrows to get the dropdown list, and there click on "Edit SMTP Server List" and fill in the data in that resulting window also.

I can receive emails but can't send them. Auto set up created mail account separate from account migrated from a PC. Migrated account receives but doesn't send; other account didn't work

Phoned internet provider, TPG & talked through resetting passwords then the migrated email temporarily allowed emails to send, then quit again, but still receives emails.
Why will my Mac receive emails but not send them? The mails settings for POP & SMTP are same.
Closed the original mail account on the PC but didn't help - had to reopen it to send this email.
Detail from Mail Connection Doctor on my MacBook Pro, under WROTE says:
VIDL 437,
then later quits.
Is this relevant? Does this mean anything?
I'm a bit technically challenged.Good at Adobe software but not mail, internet or hardware. Has anyone fixed a similar problem?
Theger.

TS3899 My iPhone 4s will receive emails but refuses to send them saying my server does not recognise the account... Help!

I cannot send emails regardless of wifi connection but an read them no problem I don't understand the problem

Check your iPhone's Email settings in Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calenders then selec the account. Make sure the Outgoing Mail Server is properly set. It may or may not be the same as the Incoming server. Contact your email provider for the proper address. If the address is properly set try trunning "Use SSL" off as well as ensuring the proper username and passord is enter here as well.

I can receive emails but can't send them

I can receive emails on my ipad but cant send them. I have checked the settings and they seem ok so what can the problem be?

If you had a password for incoming mail make sure you use it for out going mail too.
or check that it is the correct info atleast.
Just because it recieves only means you got incoming info correct most likely need to correct out going.
If you use outlook on your computer , just look up account and properties, this will list correct info to use except the password will be all *'s.
If not sure ask your ISP, internet service provider, and ask for the info but you will still have to supply your password.

TS3899 Can receive emails but can't send them

Hello ~I can receive emails on my phone but am unable to send any out. Any ideas on why this happening? I have contacted our email provider and everything is good on their end. Thank you in advance!

If you think there is something wrong with the phone, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar to get it checked. I'm just telling you what I know about mail and how it works. Does GoDaddy tell you that you have a POP account? Again, the error that you are seeing is that the server is rejecting the settings you have for the outgoing mail SMTP server. Believe me, I would have changed email providers a lot quicker than 2 years if I could not send mail. Something in your SMTP setting is wrong. Did you verify that the username and password are in every section, even where the phone reports optional? That is one of the things mentioned in the support page. The handling of mail is in two pieces. There is the incoming server, which is how you receive mail. That is completely separate from the SMTP server which is how you send mail. The two function separately, and you can receive mail and not be able to send and vice versa. It all has to do with settings.
No matter what you paid for the phone the error isn't coming from the phone, unless you do not have a setting right. I would be frustrated as well, but it has to do with your email provider.They should be able to see how your email client is pinging the email server and tell you where the error is.
I'll ask this question again, do you have another email account on the phone? I'm trying to understand if you have another SMTP server on the device for a different provider.

Mail receives emails but won't send

I receive emails from my hotmail account, but I am unable to send. Have tried deleting account and reentering it. Have deleted my outbox and the circle is still spinning around next the the 'sent'. This is annoying Apple - sort it out!!!

Hi emibarwell
I am in the UK and eventually found the problem was due to my BT Home Hub Router.
I found this fix below on https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4604180?start=15&tstart=0
It worked for me. If you can't link to the URL, here is the body of the text
There's an issue related to the BT homehub that is providing a hostname that is "syntactically incorrect" for several smtp server.
Here's how you can fix it.
Using your internet browser, go to the address "192.168.1.254
- Follow instructions to reset your password if asked.
- Then go to "Settings", then "Advanced Settings" and "home network"
You will see there all the devices that are connected or that has been connected before. It's gonna be easyer if yout computer is the only one connected.
Your computer should have a name like "unknown-xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ...
Click on this name, chose another name without any special characters, like "macbook" for exemple.
And then click on "apply"
- restart your computer.
That should fix the issue.
Credit goes to vincentfromcork for providing me with the solution.

I can recieve emails but cannot send them

Go to Mail>Preferences. Select the account that you cannot send e-mails. What does the line item, "Outgoing Mail Server" say? If none is selected, select one that best associated with the account.

Palm TX receives email but won't send message

My Palm TX works great receiving messages with both my work and personal email through VersaMail.
It acts like it is letting me respond to the messages, but they are never received.
Can anyone tell me what's going on, and how to fix it?
Thanks. Hank
Post relates to: Palm TX

the reason for that is, your outgoing mail server that you have is block by your internet provider.
try using an alternate outgoing mail server like the outgoing mail server of gmail.
Outgoing Server Settings:
smtp.gmail.com
Port Number: 587
Use Secure Connection (SSL): No
Use authentication (ESMTP): Yes. Requires username for ESMTP.

I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails. This just started happening. I have an iPhone and I can send emails from my phone fine. It's just not working on my Macbook. Every time I try to send an email it goes straight to my outbox. Can anyone help?

Thank you for heading me in the right direction. I reset my Mail account for Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net:(customer ID)@att.net (instead of smtp.att.yahoo.com, per Apple's online troubleshooting information). I'm not sure what "(Offline)" means when it appears at the end of my Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)?? In the Advanced box I clicked on "Use custom port: 465" and checked "Use Secure Sockets Layer." Authentication: Password; I have correct User Name and Password put in. After doing all this, when I try to send emails again today, they go directly to the Outbox and sit there.
What's curious is that my first sent email this morning did go out using the Outgoing Mail Server, smtp.att.yahoo.com: (customer ID)@att.net(Offline) but subsequent emails I tried to send with this server were rejected with the message: "Cannot send message using the server smtp.att.yahoo.com (etc.). The SMTP server doesn't support TLS(SSL) on port 587. Verify your account settings and try again." That's when I tried resetting my Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net (etc.), as mentioned above, and was unsuccessful in sending out any further emails. I guess my next step is to contact my email service provider, AT&T, and see if they can help me. Thanks, again, for taking the time to respond and for giving me your input! Much appreciated!
