My email on Optonline will not send- says password/username incorrect

I just got the Iphone 6plus and set it up (I have used iPhones successfully for years). I can receive emails on my optonline/cablevision account- no problem. But when trying to send I get the message "user name or password for SMPT: [email protected] is incorrect". I deleted and reset the account several times but it still won't send. I have 2 other email accounts on my iPhone and they work fine... iCloud and a school account. NO problems at all.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi William Huisking1,
Depending on how you connect, the outgoing mail server may need to be different.
iOS: Configuring additional outgoing mail servers
 Depending on your ISP, you may not be able to use the default outgoing SMTP server when using certain Wi-Fi or cellular networks. This article outlines how to setup additional outgoing SMTP servers.
Please check with optonline and insure the server is the one you need for your connection.
Best regards,
Nubz

  • Cannot use Live email in Firefox; will not send and the Attachment icon dissapears

    When I open Live Sign In in Firefox on this computer, it will not let me send email and the Attachment, Photo, etc icons disappear. You cannot attach anything or send email. The Live email works fine in Chrome on this computer. Any suggestions?

    This issue can be caused by malware.

  • For about 2 weeks I have been unable to leave feedback on ebay. Firefox brings up login page but will not accept password. I am having the same problem with my yahoo email. It will not accept my passwords, so I have to use IE to login to these accounts.

    On yahoo email, it accepted my login id, but not password. This started on one account about two weeks ago. Today when I tried to login to another yahoo email, which worked yesterday, but it would not accept my password on this account.
    I bought some items on ebay and wanted to leave feedback. When I clicked on the leave feedback button a sign in window appeared, this should not have happened, when I tried to sign in, it would not accept my password. I called ebay and was told they have had many complaints from customers using firefox when trying to leave feedback. The help desk suggested I try with Internet Explorer, I did, and it worked perfectly.
    I have been using firefox for a long time and really do not want to go back to IE, but when I cannot sign into my accounts, I can't, so I will have to use IE.
    As far as I know, no new programs have been installed on this computer.

  • Mypostoffice email recieves but will not send

    Hi all,
    Does anyone with the new iPhone 3g have thier broadband with The Post Office? I have sync'd my phone with itunes, as you do. It copied over the settings for my email, which works perfectly fine on my PC, on my iPhone I can recieve my emails without a glitch but I am unable to reply to emails as I keep getting the error message ' Cannot send Mail' 'The connection to the outgoing server "smtp.mypostoffice.co.uk" failed.'
    I've checked the settings and everything seems as it should.
    Anyone have any ideas or overcome this problem ???
    Cheers.

    Many ISP's don't allow sending of email if not on their network. When you are using the Cell you are attempting to hit their mail servers via your cell carrier and many don't allow it because allowing it also means they open their mail servers as relays for spammers.
    I know here in the US AT&T has it's cpmx.att.net mail server you can opt to use instead of your outbound mail server.

  • TS3899 I am receiving emails but my phone will not send messages.  It says my password is incorrect but it doesn't allow me to enter it.  Any ideas?

    My phone will receive emails but it will not send messages.  It says my password is incorrect but doesn't allow me an opportunity to enter it again.  Any thoughts?

    Under settings>mail, contacts and calendars if you click on the account... then the account name again on the next page.... then click outgoing mail server... then click under the words primary server... here is where you can enter your password... it's most likely missing or incorrect.
    good luck

  • When I attempt to reply or forward email, it says my server does not allow relaying and will not send.

    When I attempt to forward or reply emails. I get the error message that my server does not allow relaying and will not send.

    Some ISPs don't really handle you mail, they pass it off to another pipeline.  That is called relaying.  Some receiving servers will not accept relayed messages, as they are frequently associated with spammers.
    In some cases, I understand aol relays within thier own system, confusing the issue a little.
    Who is you mail provider?  If it is a big name, this should not be an issue.   As a test, if you have an alternate e mail account, like gmail, try to send a message from that account and see if it goes through.

  • HT1430 my iPhone will not send emails.  I have checked the settings and reset the phone, it still does not work. Any suggestions?  Thanks

    If anyone can help I would appreciate it.  Mail on my iphone will not send any messages.  I have followed the Apple instructions and still it won't work, even after resetting my iphone.  My email provider is BT.

    To Avoid Relaying:
    If you are sending an email from, say, [email protected], but the return address is [email protected], that is relaying (you are using y.com's servers to send an email where the email "originates" from b.com).  Many servers don't allow relaying to prevent spamming.
    To make this work go into the email account settings, tap the account "button" that has your email address, go to the Advanced section in "Mail" if there is one, then go to  "Outgoing Mail Server",  tap it, and then tap "Primary Server", and in the Outgoing Mail Server enter your user name and password.  It may say optional, but you need this.
    Not all services provide this and the sequence of buttons I describe above may not be exactly the same for each address (look around if different).  If you can't set the user name and password, then that email service does not provide a way to get around relaying.

    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.

  • Iphone will not send email

    All of a sudden, my iphone will not send email to AOL. It says user name [email protected] is incorrect. I have rebooted, reinstalled and changed password that works fine on aol, still receives mail but will not send.

    It looks like your SMTP server setting for AOL is wrong. I think it should be smtp.aol.com.
