Messages not being sent/recieved from a specific person

I have a Samsung Reality phone and my boyfriend has a Sprint... something. I'm not sure. We text eachother all the time, have been forever, but all of a sudden since Saturday night he's not recieving my messages and I'm not recieving his. Sometimes picture messages work, but text messages don't. I recieved two of his yesterday that he had sent about 12 hours beforehand. He's gotten nothing from me.
What should we do? It's strange... we've been texting each other from the same phones, same numbers for well over a year. Why is there a problem now?

That's strange that it would stop all of a sudden. Did either of you add an app or change anything?
I would try deleting each other as a contact, then one of you try to send a message to the other using the full 10-digit number. If that is successful, add the contact back from the received message, and then REPLY to that message so the other can add from the received message.
Something may have happened to corrupt one or both contacts so things are messed up. By deleting (then reboot the phone) and adding back in it may solve the issue.
it may not, but it's worth a try.

Cc messages not being sent

I have just realized that mail messages I have been copying to people in the 'cc' header section of mail (version 2.1) are not being sent out. I use .Mac account.
Any thoughts?

Does not being sent out mean these messages remain in the Outbox?
If a message cannot be successfully sent, it will remain in the Outbox mailbox.
A successfully sent message will be placed in the account's Sent mailbox and a successfully sent message is either accepted or rejected by the recipient's incoming mail server.
If rejected by the recipient's incoming mail server for whatever reason, you will received a return email error message from the recipient's incoming mail server indicating why the message was not accepted.
If no such error message is received, this indicates the message was accepted by the recipient's incoming mail server and what happens to the message after that is beyond our control.

Nokia 3110 Classic Messages not being sent

sent messages are being 'saved for sending' in outbox and not being sent. Message details give me a 'failed delivery' report. Any ideas?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Check if you have the right message centre number.
Messages sent by your phone are routed through your service provider's message center. Normally, this number is saved to your phone by your service provider. To save the number manually, do the following:
At the Start screen, press Menu 01-6 (Messages - Message settings).
"Text messages" is highlighted. Press Select.
"Sending profile" is highlighted. Press Select.
"Default profile" is highlighted. Press Select.
Scroll to "Message centre number" and press Select.
If the box in the display is empty, enter the number given by your service provider and press OK.
OR
If the box in the display is full, edit the number only if you are sure the number is incorrect, or you want to change the number, and press OK.
A message appears in the display that confirms your number is saved.

Saving sent mail from an specific person

i have a smart mailbox which saves all my received messages from an specific person but is there a way to make a folder with the emails i have sent to that specific person?
Thank you

you can create a smart mailbox for that in the same way you've created the other smart mailbox. when you are creating a smart mailbox, in the parameters select "any recipient" instead of "from" and check the box "include sent messages".

International Texting - Messages not being sent.

I maintain regular contact with somebody overseas, and we have used internatonal texting often on a daily basis for the past few years. Recently, most of my messages have stopped coming through. Yesterday afternoon, I sent five consecutive text messages. The reciever did not get anything until this morning, and it was only one of the five messages I sent. The rest seem to have been lost (I'm ommitting the fact that the message that WAS recieved, was missing the last two characters a minor gripe).
Knowing this, I re-sent one of the five messages that was lost but 45 minutes later, it still did not come through. I then dialed *228 and updated my roaming capabilities, as it was recommended here. I sent another, fresh, short text message but this one was not received either.
I am texting somebody in Poland. This has worked (as far as I know) without a hitch for a long time, and I still receive every message that is sent to me.
1) I would like to know how to fix this.
2) I would like to know if I'm being charged for every text message that Verizon fails to send?

That's strange that it would stop all of a sudden. Did either of you add an app or change anything?

Email messages not being sent

For the past several weeks I can not sent outgoing messages via my [email protected] email account. I get incoming messages but when I send something it appears in my sent folder but people don't receive my message at all? I have a Macbook pro retina, relatively new bought in Dec 2013. I use the Mac Mail program (8.2 (2070.6) and have the latest MAC OSX installed (OSX Yosemite 10.10.2). I have checked and there are no newer updates. I have tried deleting my email account and reinstalling it on the MACBOOK PRO, but that doesn't help on either my wife’s or my cox.net email. My address is of the type [email protected] provided thru my TV Cable/internet provider. The instructions from Cox say to set the incoming server to imap.cox.net and Port 993 with SSL checked. It is. When I reinstall the email account under "MAIL/Add Account/Add other email account, the installer does it automatically and wont let me set the outgoing mail server so I can’t see what port it is set to and I can’t find any way to see what the outgoing server is set to? My Cox provider says the outgoing port should be set to Port 465 or 587 with SSL set to yes.
Under Accounts/Advanced the only information provided says it is using a IMAP Hostname of: imap.cox.net, Port 993 and Use SSL is checked. As said earlier this part is OK.
I have a gmail account that appears to work fine on the same laptop. What can I do to resolve this serious situation?
PLEASE Help In the past with similar problems when I talk to someone at Apple they say it is a Cox problem and when I talk to Cox they say it is an Apple/Mac problem

Let be expand on what I have tried.
I have 4 email accounts. From my Mail account on the Mac I send emails to myself (1) and wife emails (2) at our cox account, gmail account (3) and iCloud account (4). All are received fine and show up in my sent folders and inbox
I go to the Cox external website (webmail.west.cox.net) where I can log in as if I am on an external computer and send my self test messages from my cox account. I also get these
I ask people to send me emails to all 4 accounts. I get these
However when we send from the MAC Mail from either of our cox accounts, these do not get to their intended recipients even though they show up as being sent and as I copy myself they also get delivered to my inbox on the Mac. But that is as far as they go. The intended recipient does get them. Unfortunately, Mac Mail doesn't allow you to request a read receipt. so I have no way of knowing if they get them other than to ask them to respond each time.

Text messages not being sent with Google Now or in Car Mode

When attempting to send a text message by voice using either Google Now or when in Car Mode, the text message gets created correctly to the right person, and the content of the message is correct. When I confirm to send the message, I always get "Message Not Sent". I'm able to send text messages manually using the standard Messages app. Researching this issue, I've seen that there are some others having the same problem but I have not found or heard of a resolution.

I don't have a Verizon Messages app.

Text messages not being sent?

Recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy note 2, 2nd day of owning it and suddenly I cannot send any text messages but I can recieve messages. It will only let me send messages with pictures

Hey Robe_93!
I am very sorry to learn about your messaging problems! I know that this is not the best first impression of the phone that we want for you, so allow me to help!
When you try and send a text, does it give you an error? How are your calls? Are you using the original text messaging application with the device? Any other issues that you can see? Anything to help us diagnose the problem....
Thanks!

Photos not being sent properly from mail.app

I wonder if anyone can help with this issue. I cannot send photos via mail.app using the "email" button from iphoto, or by attaching using the "attach" button in mail.app or by dragging the picture from it's folder into a mail message.
The picture does not import at the right size, and the image itself gets corrupted, with lots of pixelations and jaggies. This never happened before Leopard.
I've looked in preferences and so forth and have found nothing to address this. I've sent photos "windows friendly" and otherwise. It makes no difference.
Anyone have a solution for this?

open iPhoto, select a photo, click e-mail and select actual size and click compose - after mail opens and the new email window appears with the photo in it in the lower right hand corner of the window just to the left of the corner to grab to change the window size there is a "wee" (or small:) ) menu window that will allow you to make the photo small, medium, large or actual size (Same options as you had in iPhoto but now in mail)
This is what TD was referring to
If it is not there I would try deleting the iPhoto preferences and doing it again - and if it is still not there, deleting the mail preferences (I'm not sure if that requires re-entering account information or not so I'd probably move the mail preferences to the desktop rater than trashing them as a test)

Have some kind of virus or trojan horse -- dozens of spam messages are being sent out from my PC. Is there anything I can do?

The messages do not show up in my Sent folder. Many of them are sent to dead email addresses and the only way I know that this is happening is from the "failure to deliver" messages from the Mail Administrator.

Reply messages not being sent

Wonder if anyone else has had this problem. When I hit "reply" to a received e-mail, type in what I want to say and then hit the "send" button, message is not received by other party. Shows under my "Sent" folder. Has happened twice now to 2 different people and e-mail addresses. Curious if this has happened to anyone else? Thanks. Larry

For this you would need to reinstall the whole OS as Messages cannot be done separately any more.

O2 to EE and visa versa messages not being sent or received

Not blocked you by accident?

I've recently been experiencing issues with messages. Myself and a friend both have iphones but he's on EE and I'm on O2. I reguarly send him messages that never get received. I don't know if this is a general messages issue or an iPhone imessages issues. My messages say they have been delivered but this is clearly inaccurate. Has anyone else experienced this issue and if so what can we do to try and fix it?? If I phone O2 they'll probably say it's an EE issue. I do not have this issue with any other of my friends who have iPhones and have checked. It just concerning as I've missed some very important messages. When I turn my phone on and off thinking that might ping them through it doesn't work. All messages are sent with good signal and either connected to 3G or wifi. We have also been know to phone each other when we have signal but despite this it goes through to voicemail straight away. Any help to resolve this extremely frustrating problem gratefully received.

Calls not coming through, text messages not being sent

My Note 2 has been acting up the last several days, and since I use this phone as my primary business line. My text messages are hit & miss when sending/receiving, and when clients calls - i pick up, and NOTHING. and when i try to call back - NOTHING.. just silence, not even a ring. What gives?
Why is my phone doing this? This is frustrating.

There is two things to try.
1) hold down the power button and the large center button until the iPhone resets. ( hard reset) if that corrects the problem all is well. http://m.wikihow.com/Hard-Reset-an-iPhone
2) go into settingshttp://ipod.about.com/od/iphonetroubleshooting/ht/Factory-Reset-Iphone-4.htm which is a total reset of the device. Then it takes you through the set up process again. You will need your apple id and password. You will also have to click on the phone icon, voicemail and follow the set up prompts. Under settings mail ,cntacts and calendars you then enter your email settings again. You will want to turn on imessage in the settings. Your apps can be reloaded either via iTunes on a computer or from the Apps Store on the device, under purchased, not on this iPhone.
All this is on the phones manual under Safari. Or online owners manual.
Good Luck
