Iphone Mail Problems

+*Why cant i send email from my iphone? Everytime i do it, it says "The connection to the outgoing server faild."*+

tpav3,
What email provider are you using? It may be that your email provider does not allow you to send mail from outside of their network.
As a workaround, you can use your provider's outgoing mail server as shown in the section titled "Configuring iPhone mail for EDGE":

Fixing iPhone mail problems in IOS 7

This is a re-posting of my original discussion regarding mail problems with IOS 7 so I could correct the tags associated with the discussion:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23199621?ac_cid=op123456#23199621
I am certain my mailbox names match those on my AOL server, that AOL preferences are set so all mail is saved on the server and my iPhone (4) settings are to retrieve mail from the server, not my iPhone. I have matched the settings on my problem iPhone with my second iPhone that, after upgrading to IOS 7, works perfectly using the same AOL mail account. I have deleted the mail account on the problematic iPhone and set it back up. I have restored the iPhone to factory settings, updated it with my setting from a backup and re-synced my personal data. I do not sync with iCloud because mail syncs well through WiFi or through iTunes. Anyone with similiar mail problems who can suggest fixes that work would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Additional information: i decided to delete both of my iPhone mail accounts and re-enter them using the automated setup in Settings . . . neither account would load because of an error message that the outgoing IMAP server was incorrect. I went to AOL and got the IMAP server "in" and "out" settings but when I tried to enter the correct number, I discovered you can't change it (grayed out). Catch 22 - When setting up the account, iPhone assigns an AOL primary outgoing server number after you identify the @aol.com address, and you can't change it. It is not the one AOL said to use. (Is this the IOS 7 software error that might be causing the problem???) I set up the phones manually again, with the phone automatically entering the outgoing server number, but got a a different error message that I may not be able to send or receive mail. I was able to enter the correct outgoing server number ONLY when I added an additional outgoing server. It lets you enter the server number. Seems when there is a primary outgoing server (the iPhone assigned number) and a backup (one I entered with the correct number) both phones work! I know, complicated! Finallly, I suspected this is all about mailbox behavior on OS X and ISO devices and the problem is likely specific to just AOL accounts so I mapped where mail goes after being sent on all devices . . . interesting. As I suspect, sent mail goes to different mailboxes on OS X devices and ISO devices, so you have to go look for them. They are there, but in different locations. I may have to live with that. Anyone else dealing with this?

Iphone mail problems in iOS 8.2

I found problems in iOS update 8.2
my iPhone mails have many problems like:
having 2 unread emails, it shows no unread emails.
it also shows: no items selected.
Do you find similar problem? pls help!!!

Hi missionarymac,
It sounds as if you are having an issue with your iPhone charging slowly, is that correct? I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

IPad & IPhone Mail problem

For ages now, I have used my Ipad and iPhone to access my emails on their Mail app.
Yesterday and still today I can't access my BT emails on my Ipad or Iphone accept for through Safari. I keep on getting server and password errors. It seems to be a common problem recently with other users having the same problem. I have googled it and done everything I have found but it still doesn't work. I have changed my password, restarted the Ipad, deleted the email account re entered the account. But the only way I can access my emails is by setting it up on my Ipad as an " other" email account. The problem with this is I have various folders I use in my BT account which this method doesn't give me access to like it use to when set up as a yahoo type email account.
Is there a solution out there that will allow me to get my emails and folders as I use to ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sorry I will try but can't see that helping, because I get the same errors when I switch off WiFi on my IPhone and try over 3G.
What happens in full is.
I go in to the mail on my ipad. It refreshes and pulls off my me.com (apple) emails it then goes for my BT emails.
1st Message is B.T. password missing so I type in my BT password
2nd message is a domain 1032 error and asks for password again.
3rd Message is server unavailable try later
I checked and double checked my password was in my settings, I also read some advice saying to reset password, which I've done and still the same error.
I have tried deleting and setting up again and I have tried numerous restarts and even a restore all resulting in the same error.
Like I said I have also tried setting it up as "other" which works but with limited ability as it doesn't show my folders in my BT account. I can access my BT email via Safari without any problem. I just like the mail app and function which brings a couple of email address together.
From what I have read its a Apple fault and doesn't appear to be a BT one.

Dear Fellows. Is there a problem with iPhones mail in general retrieved mail ?

Is there a problem with iPhones mail in general retrieved mail ?

Double check your contacts email, and if its incorrect, go to their contact and change it and save it or you can delete the email you put in, and manually type it in.

How would that help the original poster?

Yahoo Mail problems on IPhone

Was working then two days ago all of a sudden stopped working. I did not change my password. I have since used Yahoo's web based account (regular not plus). My password consists of only letters and numbers. I have tried deleting and recreating. I get messages saying wrong password or username. I have typed in 5 times and yes I have logged of on Web based mail and logged in typing in the same exact words and it works. I have also gotten a error message of something talking about imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com. ANY IDEAS??

Well, I've also been dealing with this strange problem of being unable to make Yahoo Mail work on my iphone. I've never had any problems until last Friday 3-27-09. I changed my password, I've attempted setting up Yahoo Mail on another iphone. Symptom does not change. At first, my account would authenticate, but then when I would go in to check in Mail, message would appear saying my password was incorrect. One thing I've also noticed, and I'm wondering if these problems correlate in some way, is that my Yahoo Messenger application on my desktop computer is also exhibiting the same sign-on problem. I really think this may be a Yahoo issue. But I've been in contact with one of their support bot's. They stated on a previous email that this is a known issue with Messenger. For my Iphone problem, they just redirect me to some general mobile Yahoo website that is pretty much useless to me. I've troubleshooted this issue enough to be confident that it is more complex and that it's not me entering in the wrong password and that it is not an Iphone settings problem. I opened a new Yahoo email ID, and was able to set it up successfully on the Iphone. It seems to me that some accounts may be affect and may not be a global "Yahoo Server" problem. Any other tips or advice would help here....

Hello,
Are they just regular size eMails?
Do you have more than one eMail account setup?
Next time it happens, get...
Find Any File...
http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
Hold Option or alt key when selecting Find to Find All.
Use it to Find All, for Name ends in...

Many syncing and e-mail problems.

Hi folks, lots of syncing and e-mail problems here:
Syncing: My phone won't sync iCal (it tells me my phone is disconnected), my safari bookmarks or my email accounts. I've been through the threads here, tried resetting iSync, tried deleting calendars and resetting to 10 days instead of 30 -- still no luck. For e-mail, initially iTunes saw the e-mail accounts but did not sync theml. I tried the one-time advance settings and now it's not even seeing the accounts and still not syncing them. and for Safari, no luck with the bookmarks at all even thought the check-box is checked.
Also, the iPhone won't receive e-mail from any of my POP accounts, even the one I set by hand (because none of the settings synced.) I used the same settings that I have on my desktop, but no luck. I use RoadRunner, so I know I can't send off it. But I went to the genius bar today and they told me to just leave the SMTP server field blank and I should be able to receive, but all I get on wi-fi and edge is a message that says, "Cannot Get Mail, the connection to the server "pop-xxxxxx etc" failed." even on my home netowrk, with five bars, it can't seem to connect. (btw, it does seem to be working properly on my .Mac account, but I don't use that account for most of my correspondence.)
As far as the sync problems, the genius bar told me to reinstall iTunes, which I did with the new update that just came out this evening. Still no luck.
any thoughts? bum phone? some setting I'm not catching? any help would be appreciated.

You will find the iPhone will freak out over any kind of perceived data corruption. Calendars seem to the worst for this (windows or mac)
Test in a new user and try sending info in each direction. If it works - then your phone works fine.
Other users have reported having to basically copy the contents of their calendars into a sticky or text edit window. delete the calendars and create brand new ones. they then just transfer the data back.

IPhone Mail App not showing all messages

I have set my iphone mail settings to show 500 recent messages, but it only shows 10 messages - how do i get past this problem?

What Kind of email account is it.
If the account is Gmail or Yahoo, those are IMAP accounts which all messages can be retrieved from the server over and over again if you remove the account and re-add it.
Now if you are using like a SBC-Global, ATT.net, Bellsouth, Anything that is a POP3 Account it will only download new message and not past ones.

IPhone Mail.app does not sort mails by date

I've just copied about 3000 old mails from a POP3 account to my Gmail account (IMAP). This was done through OS X mail.app, which just works perfect both in the OS X Mail.app and in the Gmail web interface.
The problem is that the Mail.app on my iPhone seems to sort the mails by some kind of mail ID so all the copied mails appears first in the Mail.app. I can't find any way to sort the mails by their date, which I guess will solve the problem.
If there is missing importing information about the problem please let me know so I can supply with more information.

This is a known issue with gmail. I found this in their FAQ:
"Messages uploaded or copied into Gmail using IMAP may display the wrong date in your inbox or other labels."
See http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=82365&topic=12922
Apparently "The correct dates should appear in conversation view." applies only to web browsers and not the iPhone Mail app.

IPhone Mail App cannot connect with gmail iMap server

So my gmail address list or contacts seems to have been hacked and all my contacts who are still talking to me have told me so.
So I changed my gmail password.
No more complaints, and probably no more friends as contacts.
But seriously, I have been able to get gmail (web) working with my new double authentication password(s). Also, my outlook for MAC is working using the special "generated App Password". (because Outlook cannot do the double authentication thingie)
Ditto for the gmail app from google on my iPhone. (it works too)
BUT
I cannot get the iPhone Mail App to connect to Gmail.
I have deleted (i thought) my existing gmail setup from my iPhone. When I try to re establish the gmail settings, using either the password generated by the MAC / iCloud keychain generator or the App password, I get the message "My Name" is already added.
It looks to me that there is something in the iPhone that matches my gmail address, even though I deleted the account.
Any suggestions before I call Apple for help?
Thanks
Barry

I think so.
Actually I think I need to get the App Password for Mail on my phone. It generates the app password and I enter it into the password in the gmail setup for mail.
The problem is that when I hit next on that page, I get the message:
"my name" is already added" and I cannot proceed.
Before doing this setup I deleted my gmail account by tapping the email address and hitting delete in the Mail, Contact and Calendars setup..
but, there is something hiding in my iPhone that remembers my old gmail password (I guess) and doesn't let me proceed.
If I enter my gmail iChain password I get the same thing.
If i do this in airplane mode (no connection to google) i also get the same.
I talked to an apple care person who had me reset all my settings... still the same thing.
I am trying to avoid a gull reset of the iPhone, but that may be in the cards.
Going to go to the apple store and ask there, but i am not hopeful.

Iphone mail app regularly requires restart to get mail flowing???

Anyone seeing this issue? Advice re how to fix?
My iphone mail app regularly requires restart to get mail flowing. That is it is running (doesn't crash) but will at time just stop getting email updates. I then have to force close the mail app (i.e. kill it) and then restart it. After restarting it the mail flows again.
Notes:
a) I do connect to Gmail for my mail - I'm using the IMAP facility for gmail currently (i.e. not the "Exchange" method)
b) I do also have the Google "Gmail" app running on my device too
c) on iPhone 3GS, latest version of IOS

I have this same problem too. I have both a hotmail and work Microsoft Exchange account setup on my iPhone and have intermitent issues with both. Sometimes the hotmail push works, but my work email doesn't push, other times it's backwards, and sometimes neither work. I can't figure it out. Usually restarting the app (closing out of the multitasking bar), and/or going into settings and disabling the affected mail account works. And to top it, I have an iPad, I'll hear the mail chime go off on my iPad, expecting it to go off on my phone....and it never does, not until I manually fetch it.
Very frustrating.

Thanks.

Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

I m trying to send a email and sms alert using php and it works fine on all systems except on Iphone,the problem is swedish charcters doesn't show on iphones used by people in sweden but works absolutely fine on iphones in india. plz help

I m trying to send a email and sms alert to people and it works fine on all systems expect on Iphone,the problem is swedish charcters doesn't show on iphones used by people in sweden but works absolutely fine on iphones in india.
the code i m using is right below,plz have a look and not into the problem as problem is a bit strange.
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" ;
            $headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"UTF-8\"\n";
            $headers .= "X-Priority: 1 (Highest)\n";
            $headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\n";
            $headers .= "Importance: High\n";
            // Additional headers
            $headers .= 'From: Rakesh <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
            foreach($disemail as $email)
                $to = $email;
                $subject = $succMessage['email_subject'];
                $message = $smsText;
                mail($to,'=?UTF-8?B?'.base64_encode($subject).'?=',$message,$header);
        if (stripos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'MSIE') !== FALSE) {
        $smsText = utf8_encode($smsText);

i have tried this new charset combination specifically for iphone and i m waiting for response from sweden alliance.....i hope this works fine as iso works great for 8-bit characters.
would like to have your thoughts though.
$headers .= "Content-Type:text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable";
