My emails won't send from my primary email address.

Why can't I send emails from my primary account. I can receive emails. I have checked my settings and that's not the problem.

Hello Noony88,
I understand you are not able to send emails from your primary email account. Is this an iCloud email account? Are you able to send messages from your email account provider's website? Are you able to send email from your computer or another iOS device? Is there a message sitting in the Outbox for your email account that is not able to be delivered for some reason (ie. file size)? These are a few factors to consider.
Here are some troubleshooting steps to try:

If you experience issues sending or receiving mail on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Check the System Status page to find out whether any known issues are affecting iCloud Mail.
Make sure that you're connected to the Internet: try opening a webpage such as apple.com in Safari on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Go to iCloud.com on a Mac or PC to verify that you can receive email for your iCloud account.
Make sure that Mail is turned on in Settings > iCloud.
Make sure that Push is turned on for your device in Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars > Fetch New Data. Then send an email to your account to verify that Push is working correctly.
Make sure that Push is turned on for your iCloud account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars > Fetch New Data. If you're using iOS 6, tap Advanced. Then Tap your iCloud account and make sure that Push is turned on. If you have multiple iCloud Mail accounts set up on your device, Push can be used only with one account at a time. Make sure that Push is turned on for your primary iCloud Mail account.
Turn your device off and back on.
If the issue persists, turn off each of the settings in steps 4, 5, and 6 above, then turn them back on. If that does not help, follow these instructions to delete the iCloud account from your device, then add the account back:
Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars.
Tap your iCloud account.
Tap Delete Account. If you store Contacts, Calendar, or Bookmarks data in iCloud, you will be given the option to keep that data.
On the Mail, Contacts, and Calendars screen, tap Add Account, then tap iCloud to begin setting up your iCloud account again. If data from your device is stored in iCloud, you will be given the option to merge that data with the data on your device.

Emails won't send from any account

Hi all,
Had a problem for an unknown period of time now where emails won't send from Mail on the iPad. I had a couple of people ask me why I hadn't responded and after saying I had, they told me they hadn't received anything. I checked my sent box and the emails hadn't been sent.
I thought it was just with iCloud.
I have just tested it with another iCloud account and also my Gmail account and none of them will send an email. All work perfectly on my iMac - and Gmail works perfectly on my phone.
The strange thing is that I get the sent noise as soon as I hit sent, which is why there's been confusion. It doesn't sit in drafts or fail to send. There's no error. As far as you can tell it does sent - but it's never in the sent items/outbox and never received the other end.
Any ideas? Such a frustrating problem that I've never, ever had before.
Thanks for any help,
Ste.

Oddly, the test email sent from my Gmail account on my iPad has just appeared (after a five minute or so delay).
The email however, is still not inside the sent folder - there's still no record of it having been sent.
Problem persists in full for iCloud - nothing sending from iPad and being received by the recipient.

HT2623 How to make my full name disappear when sending from my primary email address.

I would like to make my full name disappear when sending from my primary email address. so the recipient when receives my email can see only my email address, i.e. email address of the sender. In Preferences, Accounts, my full name is greyed out and I cannot change it. If I try to do Custom, it would let me change it, i.e. delete my name from Full Name box, but then when Mail is closed and reopened, it would lose the previously saved Custom setting and go back to the same. All my other aliases associated with this email account work ok and the receiver sees only the email address.
Does anyone know what is going on?

What if you remove the .mac account from the Accounts panel under mail Preference?
If that doesn't work, sign into the webmail at me.com, click the "sprocket" button and select preference, in preference go the the aliases tab see if you can remove the email address with your name. If not, go to composing tab see if there is anything you can remove from the +Identity: send email as field+. Good luck.

Emails won't send from Hotmail account on iphone as message says password is incorrect

I recently had a problem with my hotmail account which meant it was blocked and I had to go through a securitiy process to unblock my account and change my password. I can now use my hotmail account again and changed the password on my phone settings to be able to use this account on my phone again. However, when I try to send emails from my iphone from my hotmail account, it says my password is incorrect and the emails won't send. I am also not convinced that I am receiving all emails, although some came through when I initially re-added the account. I have tried to delete the account and add it again, as well as restart my iphone, but I am still having the same problem. The password I have for the account is correct! I would be so grateful if anyone could help.
Thanks.

For anyone else having this problem I have found a solution! You need to change the outgoing server settings as well as the incoming server password which appears on the main settings page. Go into the account in settings and select the box under outgoing mail server. Click on the box under primary server. This will take you to the settings, including the password which you can change.

Emails won't send from phone

Just found out that people are not receiving any emails that i send from my phone. Not sure why and have no idea how long it has been going on. Could be as long as I have had the phone. How do I fix this?

First contact your isp or email provider to get the correct pop3 and smtp server settings. Write them down. The under setting up email in your owners manual follow the instructions on setting up email. after the correct settings are entered and you put in your email login and password you should be good to send and receive email.
Good Luck

Sumbit form by email won't "send" from email

The form that I am creating - using both Live Cycle as well as adding a "submit by email" button direct from Acrobat, pulls up the email message window when clicked - correctly showing recipient address and pdf form attached...problem is when I click "send" nothing happens. It's as if my email program (outlook 2003) crashes when trying to email form attachments. Please help & thank you ahead of time. ~Kate

Do you have an anti Viris program running? Sometimes they are setup so that you cannot automate the sending of email.

TS3899 iPhone 4s IO6; Emails won't send from any account when they have images attached..

Since upgrading to IO6, my phone has been struggling to send emails.. The problem is at its worst when I attach images. I have three accounts (aol, gmail and ME) on the phone and the issue affects all of them. I have rebooted the phone / deleted and re-installed the accounts and the problem persits..
After much presistance most emails will go through, but it can take hours to get them to send..
The issue was not present with the previous software..
Any help would be much appreciated as I need to send photos on a daily basis !!

You may want to delete the email account and try setting it up again. Once you have deleted it, re-start your phone.
Set it up manually and do not use the wizard.
It is best to go through settings >mail contacts, calendars > add account… > don’t choose the BT or BTYahoo option, tap the ‘other’ option from the bottom of the list > Add Mail Account and enter the following details:
Name – it can be anything you want, but usually your real name is preferable
Address – your full BT Internet email address
Password – your email account password
Description – this can be used if you have more than one email account on the device but put something like ‘work’ or ‘BT Internet
Press “Next” and allow the verification (this may take a few minutes)
On the next screen it will want you to input incoming and outgoing mail server details:
Tap ‘IMAP’ at the top,
Incoming mail server settings:
Host name: mail.btinternet.com
Username: your full BT Internet email address
Password: your email account password
Outgoing mail server settings:
Host name: mail.btinternet.com
Username: your full BT Internet email address
Password: your email account password
Press ‘next’
Slide the notes and mail to be ‘on’ and press ‘save’ in the top-right
Check your email on the device and see if it is working. Try sending yourself a message and see if it arrives. If messages are not able to send do the following:
Additional setting changes
Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > tap your BT email account > a window will appear, tap on your email address > scroll down to the bottom of the window and tap where it says ‘SMTP’ > tap the primary server (which should be mail.btinternet.com) >make sure the following is on or enabled:
‘Use SSL’ should be ‘ON’
Authentication should be ‘password’
Server port should be ‘465’
Press ‘done’ in the top-right
Now do back to your emails and see if you can send

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.

Icloud email won't send from chrome

Additionally, it won't open in Internet Explorer...

I'm having the exact same problem on one of my Macs but no the other.
Did you ever get this resolved?

After iTunes update, email won't send, only receive. Email setup form won't open all the way.

What can I do to get the add email form to open all the way. It won't scroll down enough to let me enter outgoing mail server information. When I forced it by hitting the enter button and blindly fill in each box, it seemed to work; but when I checked my email, I found that I could receive mail but mail wouldn't send. It kept telling me I have the wrong user name or password, and of course I don't. This only started after the latest iTunes upgrade.
The other problem is that I need to set it up as a pop account and the only way I can get that option instead of iMap is to fool it by typing in one wrong letter on my email which I correct when the page comes up giving me both iMap and Pop options.
Anyone else having this scroll problem. It's only on my iPad 2 and no on my iPhone of iPod touch

Hi, please troubleshoot this from running Outlook in Safe Mode, to determine if it is 3rd-party add-ins related.
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
If there’s no problem in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.
We also suggest you perform a clean boot to troubleshoot this issue:

If your case is a message stuck in outbox issue, please try the following steps and let me konw the results:
1. Work offline, move the stuck mail into another folder. Restart Outlook and Work online to send it again.
2. Temporarily uninstall or disable firewall and antivirus software.
3. Test in Outlook safe mode.
4. Create a new profile and re-setup your account.
