IPHONE: PROBLEM SENDING EMAILS IN/OUT OF HOME ISP'S NETWORK

THE PROBLEM:
Some Home ISPs won't allow their users to use the same SMTP port when they are inside or outisde their Network to send an email of their ISP's domain
([email protected]).
This prevents the iPhone user from being able to send emails flawlessly when switching from/to his home ISP's Network (WiFi) and his Cellular Network.
THE RESOLUTION:
Create a secondary SMTP server with a different port.
→ Goto: Settings
→ Mail Contacts Calendars
→ Select the account
→ Click the SMTP field
→ Click Add Server
→ Put the same info as the primary one, but change the port #.
For instance, common SMTP ports include 25, 110, 465, 583, 587...
This information should be gained from your specific ISP.
In my case, SMTP port has to be 583 at home, connected to my WiFi, while it has to be 25 if I'm on my cell Network. If not, I can't send emails, user is rejected.
As the iPhone will first try the primary server, than the secondary if the first dosen't work, I had this idea to create this twin server, except for the port number.
Works great for me, hope it'll help a lot of people.
eYe

Tried that, but didn't work.
Called Applecare, couldn't figure it out.
Had this idea soon after going to bed.
This idea just works...
So, just thought I'd share...

  • Problems sending emails with iPhone 3G and outlook exchange

    I have a problem sending email with exchange. Receiving and answering mail works fine and calender updates work fine. However when I initiate an email from the phone it syncs and ends up in the sent folder in the computer but never reaches the recipient. I have tried this many times with different recipients and phones. It only happens from my iphone and ipad. Any suggestions?
    Any help much appreciated

    The iPhone you returned is still syncing against your server and locking out your account. Someone possibly has access to your mail data. I'd recommend having your Exchange Administrator install the Microsoft Exchange Server ActiveSync Web Administration Tool (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=E6851D23-D145-4DBF-A2CC -E0B4C6301453&displaylang=en) and attempt to wipe/delete/block that other iPhone.

  • I have had an iphone 4s for over a year and have had no problems sending emails in hotmail but now I cannot send them. What do I need to do!

    I am having problems sending emails in Hotmail on my 4s. It has worked fine for a year but now I can't send them.

    It will be your SMTP settings see this doc to troubleshoot

  • Problem sending emails out...

    Problem sending emails when saved first as a draft. When I go to send the final draft, it disappears, including the draft. Very upsetting, happened many times but not consistently...
    Help please, any ideas?

    I can’t edit emails saved in drafts for both email accounts that I have. Double tapping on the email in the left hand list does nothing. Doubling tapping on the email gives me options to copy or define. Tried resetting the by holding the home and power keys down until the apple appears but nothing. Without this function the ipad is pretty pointless. Is my device faulty? Any help appreciated.

  • Annoying problem sending email

    We have 2 MacBooks. We have separate email accounts (several each). We both frequently get problems SENDING email. The account can vary.
    The problem is that it says the server needs us to enter the password. This seems to be a bug, we've learned. If we hit "cancel" and go in the outbox, and open the email, and send it again, it always goes through immediately.
    How can we stop from having to take all these additional steps to send email?

    I too have had the exact same problem. I contacted godaddy and of course they said they don't resolve problems with third party clients. I have entered all the settings above, and as they show on the godaddy site, and as the 'helpful' support person sent me. None have worked. I have a hard time believing I have the only computer that doesn't connect to godaddy servers.
    My pc works just fine, even a touch on the fast side with my godaddy mail, but Apple mail is only able to receive and not send. As for Mark's comment my mail takes almost 3 minutes before it times out. According to the connection doctor I connect to the server, password is accepted, but then it just seems to lollygag around doing nothing. If I have 'details' selected it shows me lots of 'PASS' and 'OK'.
    Any help appreciated.

  • TS3899 Problems sending email from hotmail addresses in iPad Mail

    Hi
    I am having problems sending email from my hotmail addresses (live.com) in the Mail program on my iPad.  I get a message that says "An error occurred while sending this message".  Tis morning the program worked perfectly.  Now, not so much!
    I have turned my iPad off and on.  I have deleted and reinstalled the mail accounts.  Neither strategy helped.
    I have no problems with my gmail address.  I can send mail if I log on to the hotmail website in Safari.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    23circles:
    I would like to find a way to only have the gmail inbox but still send from any three of her accounts.
    You can do it this way:
    Set up only one account. The one from which you want to receive mail.
    In Mail > Preferences > Accounts > +gmail acct+ > Email Address insert the other email addresses, separating each with a comma and single space.
    Only the GMail account will receive incoming Mail. However, when you want to send from another address, in the From dropdown menu toggle the address from which you wish to send mail.
    You will, of course, delete the other accounts you have created to avoid getting incoming messages.

  • HT4864 Problems sending email via icloud

    I am having problems sending email via my iCloud through Mail or Sparrow, I have checked the mail server settings and they are correct based on what is described on the Apple site.  Anyone else having this problem?

    For some reason, iCloud smtp servers haven't been working well over the last couple weeks. I have experienced this twice, in as many weeks. Very frustrating as I send numerous emails on a daily basis via my iCloud account. If I login through the browser, the sending works fine, but via Mac Mail...no go. Very irritating to say the least. Apple, please fix this fluctuation problem.

  • IPhone 3G is not connecting to my home wi-fi network

    I just got the latest iPhone 3G, able to connect to my home wi-fi network without issues. I just reset the network connections(from iphone settings) by mistake and from then onwards I couldnt able to connect to my home wi-fi. What should I do? Please Dont tell me that I forgot my wi-fi password, I connected my laptop and sending this post.

    Hey RKrishna,
    What happens when the iPhone attempts to join the Wi-Fi network? Does it get an IP address?
    What type of wireless security are you using on the Wi-Fi network?
    How many characters are in the password?
    If you using WEP you'll want to use a 5 character key for 40 bit WEP, or a 13 character key for 128 bit WEP.

  • My iPhone 4 will not connect to my home wi-fi network.

    My iPhone 4 will not connect to my home wi-fi network, and it doesn't take me to the password as it used to do.  Comcast is my internet provider.

    If you can see your home WiFi network inside Settings>WiFi, then press the blue arrow to the right of it, and on the next sreen press "Forget this network".
    Now go back so that you see your network again, then press on it and you should be prompted for the password.

  • TS3276 Cannot send emails in mountain lion from another wireless network, when are apple gong to fix this

    Cannot send emails in mountain lion from another wireless network, when are apple gong to fix this

    You might be able to set up the SMTP server settings in Mail to authenticate with a password. That may get the email through.
    In Mail Preferences, Accounts, select the account.
    Click on the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) popup menu and select Edit SMTP Server List
    Select the Server and then click the Advanced tab at the bottom.
    Select Password authentication and add your details.
    You might also want to set a custom port (even if it is one of the defaults)
    This solution is normally for an email provider that will not let you send outside of your ISP network, which most prevent. They also must support password authentication of the SMTP server.

  • Problem using iPad to receive and send emails when not at home

    I am unable to send or receive emails from any outside wifi location like Tesco / ikea but once home there is not a problem. Messages reads "Server unable to respond" I was wondering if it is a security issue ?

    Greetings
    I suspect that the issue is the SMTP server settings. On your home network you are using your providers SMTP server and all is fine (If you check your email account configs you will find that the SMTP server is set to your providers?).
    When you use a different network (provider) mail will not be sent unless you use that networks (providers) SMTP server (this is a security issue to address ways of "spamming").
    So if youre 3G/4G provider is the same as you home provider all will work well via your home WiFi. If you turn off WiFi and just use your 3G/4G connection to send mail (iPhone/iPad etc) all will work well (when you are out and about and using anothers WiFi network).
    If you are connected to, say a MacDonalds WiFi, mail will probably not be sent. (It will be received though).
    Using WEB mail interface (via your WEB browser) removes this problem as well. 
    (A SMTP server is what is used to send email. So to successfully use anothers (not a networks the same as your providers) WiFi network and send email via it, you must know the SMTP servers name and reconfigure your email account/s to use that server to send mail.)

    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.
