Mail only sends messages when connected to WiFi? Hmmmm.

Hi. I've got a POP3 email account that I have to set up manually. For some reason, emails can only be sent when connected to WiFi but not over a cellular data network. Anyone got any ideas? I can receive mail fine through either WiFi or Cellular Data Network.
Many thanks,
Max

Do you have a wireless network at home and Is the email account provided by your internet service provider associated with your wireless network?
Most, if not all internet service providers block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP being used for your internet connection at the time unless the SMTP server is authenticated. The same applies when connected to the internet via the cellular network. Recieving is not a problem regardless the ISP being used for your internet connection at the time.
If the email account is provided by your ISP, most ISPs do not have an authenticated SMTP sever for the email account they provide.
Both my email accounts have an authenticated SMTP server and I've never had a problem sending with either account regardless the ISP associated with a wi-fi network I'm connected to at the time or when connected to AT&T's cellular network - for 2+ years aporoaching 3 years this July.

  • Since the last update for my Iphone 4s i dont get text messages when connected to wifi. my wife is getting them. Imessage is switched off on both phones.

    since the 6. version update. of my Iphone 4s My wife was getting my text messages. I found the problem was caused by Imessage when connected to Wifi. I deactivated Imessage on both phones to solve the problem. I now have updated my Iphone to 6.1.1 and i dont get text messages anymore. I have Imessage deactivated on my phone but my wife is getting my text messages again. my wifes phone was not updated to 6.1.1 because the last update lost all her contacts from her phone and we had to but them back in one by one from the outlook list. Her contact are listed in outlook on a seperate list to mine but we can only get my contacts download to her phone. We use the same laptop to sysc phones.
    My Iphone does not download photos to My Pictures anymore. I have to copy them across to a folder. I cant find where it backs them up to.
    I have lost all confidence in Apple now as i was forced to update to 6.1.1 because of 3G reception issues and not reciving calls and now back to spending several hours trying to fix my phone to recieve a basic text message.

    Are you and your wife sharing apple id?
    If you are that is the reason why she is seeing your imessage.
    On both phone go to settings - message - send&receive - make sure the cell is the default.
    You will have to uncheck or remove the apple id.

  • HT3529 Can i set my phone to use imessage only when connected to wifi?

    I just got a new iPhone and i like how i can use imessage to text my friends because i don't get much service at my house but i have wifi. However, when i'm out i'd like to send normal texts without imessage so it doesn't use my data. Is there a way to set my phone to only use imessage when connected to wifi? I know i can manually turn off imessage but i would rather not have to turn it off every time whenever i am out.

    No.
    Text only uses very little data - miniscule, and MMS with the iPhone uses cellular data.

  • Mail sends via Hotspot connection but not when connected to wifi

    Hi guys and girls,
    Really hope you can help. I have the new iPad 3 wifi only. When connected to wifi at work, home or a friends I can recieve mail absolutely fine however if I reply or try to send an email it will not send and I recieve an error message.
    However, if I disconnect from the router at work home or at a friends and turn my iPhone into a hotspot using 3G network and connect my iPad to this then mail sends perfectly??
    Any suggestions would be great!
    Regards
    Mark

    What is the error message?
    Who is the email account provider for this email account and does the email account provider have an authenticated SMTP server?

  • I have the Droid Razr Maxx HD and I cannot send multimedia messages while connected to WiFi.

    I have a mobile data "signal," but need to disconnect from WiFi whenever I want to send a multimedia message, including a group message. I can receive multimedia messages while connected to WiFi, sending them is the only issue. Is this a common issue? And is there a fix for it?
    It's very inconvenient as my phone is almost always connected to WiFi and I often use group messages for work.

    Don't believe someone who tells you that you have to turn off WiFi - I FINALLY got someone who knew what they were doing at VZW - and she had me do the following - and VOILA - it worked!  This is a known issue and level 2 support has access to many similar cases
    Call VZW Tech support and tell them you want them to do the following:
    1. You turn off your phone
    2. They "Refresh the network on the voice and text side"
    3. They "Sync network with billing"
    4. You turn your phone back on
    This solved my problem......

    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.

  • Outgoing mail isn't sent when connected to some wifi networks

    Although my outgoing mail goes out just fine on cellular networks, and on my home wifi, outgoing mail isn't sent when connected to some wifi networks.
    I use the apple outgoing mail server.
    What is unusual however is that my outgoing mail address is not from a standard domain.   I have my own.
    Could it involve an spr record?

  • HT4914 why do some songs grayed out and only available when connected on wifi when trying to stream on iphone?

    why do some songs grayed out and only available when connected on wifi when trying to stream on iphone?

    I had this problem too - of grayed out music I could only play when in WIFI.  I noticed when looking in iTunes, these grayed song were not chosen by me to sync on to my iPhone. They were stored in iCloud.  I went to Settings > Music and then turned off "Show All Music" so only music that has been dowloaded to my iPhone will be shown. 
    I don't have iTunes Match, so you may have a different issue than what I had.

  • I have a lot on books on my Kindle account. I have downloaded the app onto my IPAD but can only access my books when connected to WIFI, i would like to read them offline. Have I missed a download step. Thanks for any help you can give.

    I have a lot of books on my Kindle/Amazon account. I have downloaded the Kindle app onto my IPAD mini by can only access my books when connected to WIFI, how can I read them off-line?

    Yes, you've missed the download step.
    Open the Kindle app and navigate to your Library. There is a tab at the bottom that says Cloud | Device. Tap the Cloud tab and tap the books you want to download to the device. You will see a progress indicator during the download. Once it's done, read away!

    That means you didn't do it properly. Use that article, make sure you do see those tracks in itunes and they do not have clouds next to them before you sync.

  • Yahoo Mail - "Cannot Send Message"

    Hello,
    I am having issues with Yahoo mail and sending messages. It seems to happen specifically while trying to send emails with attachments. I receive an error that says "Error sending message" and alludes to a connection problem but I don't see any detailed error information with it.
    The MacBook connects either directly to a Ethernet cable or wireless to a NetGear WGR602.
    I don't know much about Safari but are there are settings I can modify to see if the issue can be resolved? The user says that she does not have this problem at home but only when she is on this network.
    Has anyone encountered this and have any tips I can try to resolve it? When I get some time to sit and work on the laptop I will check to see what versions all of the software is at. Right now I have only had a few minutes to sit at the MacBook and observe the errors.
    Thanks in advance!

    Short of installing Firefox or moving directly to Mac Mail, is there anything I can look to do either with Safari or the Yahoo interface itself?
    Not really. If the user has a free Yahoo! Mail account, they can't use Mail to send/receive anyway; they'd have to pay $20 a year for a Yahoo! Mail Plus account for that privilege.
    Yahoo! has never made any real effort to be standards-compliant, much less compatibile with Macintosh, which is why some features work only when using Firefox on a Mac (because Firefox is the second-most popular browser for Windoze). The only other thing the user could do is use the Yahoo! Help pages for Yahoo! Mail and send them an email using their web form about their problem and see if they can address the issue on their end, since it is their problem. He/She should make it crystal-clear that they are using Safari for Mac OS X, and if they get a boilerplate reply about IE, reply to that and ask for a supervisor.
    They could also try using the Develop menu in Safari to select a different User Agent in the hope that spoofing an IE browser will make it work, but there's no guarantee with that. They could just resign themselves to using Firefox when using Yahoo! Mail, or they could also try switching to the "Classic" Yahoo! Mail interface, which will have some limitations in features, but it may also avoid this problem when sending some email.

  • Outlook: "Send Immediately when connected" not working for Word 2010

    When i disable the option in Outlook "Send Immediately when connected" the messages are placed in the Outbox until i send them manually.
    But when i want to send a Word 2010 document from within Word 2010 by E-Mail the message is send immediately.
    Is it possible to place the message/document in the Outbox just like with Outlook?
    Thnx in advance.

    Hi,
    I cannot reproduce this problem in my environment. When I send a Word document by clicking File > Save & Send > Send as Attachment, it just go to the Outbox like the common message.
    Does this issue happen to all Word documents at any time?
    What's the send/receive interval you set in your Outlook? It could still occur that your message will be sent near instantly when you send a message right before the automatic send/receive interval takes place.
