How to fix
If this is an AOL issue, try these: go Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select your AOL.com account > SMTP from the Account Info Page > SMTP from the SMPT Page > make sure that the Server is ON, make sure that the Host Name is smtp.aol.com. Further make sure your username and password are correct and added in the Outgoing Mail server; make sure that Authentication is set to Password and make sure that Server Port is 587
If this is not an AOL email: go Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Accounts >Account Info > SMPT> turn off primary server, turn on other (e.g. AT&T) SMTP server.
Go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Your Account > Outgoing mail Server SMTP > Primary Server then turn Server ON and fill in both User Name and Password under Outgoing Mail Server.

I have an Ipad 2 and are having problems sending out emails in one of my email address. I always get a message reading the email was not sent because the server does not allow relaying. This is an email account POP3. I have no such problem with gmail.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

If I send a BCC email to my address I get ar error message stating the server does not allow relaying.

I set up my eail account so I BCC a copy of the email to my desk top. When I send an email from my IPhone I get a message stating that the recpient was rejected because the server does not allow relaying. I can send the same email, BCC myself from my desktop with no problem.

Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Your Account > Account Name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and enter your email account and password and see if things work.

TS3276 I receive a pop up from ICal saying the server does not recognize me user name and password. This started yesterday. I have no problems with receiving or sending emails through Mail

I receive a pop-up from ICal saying the server does not recognize my user name and password for my me.com email address. This started yesterday and occurs about every 5 minutes or so. There are no problems with receiving or sending email through Mail. I did change me email password several days ago but have no problems sending/receiving since then.

I fixed the problem. I opened Preferences in ICal and entered my new password. No more pop-ups

Email recipient is rejected as server does not allow relaying

Hi there
I wondered if there is someone that can help me. I have an iphone 3g and have my aol email account set up on the phone. It was working fine before I went away on holiday but since I have returned I am unable to send emails as iit keeps saying that the recipient has been rejected as the server does not allow relaying.
I did not use my phone while I was away except for texting so didn't change any settings. I have read through similar questions and have tried all of different things suggested (turning off wifi, although it was never on wifi it was using 3g), making sure that both the primary server and the other SMTP servers are set as on and the details are filled out but still nothing works.
Originally it was only set up with the primary server ticked as on and I never had a problem with it. I've also tried turning the phone off and on again several times and tried the power off and holding down the home key at the same time.
Is there any one who could offer some further advice as it would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Sam

Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>your account>Outgoing mail Server SMTP>Primary Server then turn Server ON and fill in both User Name +Password under Outgoing Mail Server.

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.

TS3899 The email arrives with no problem, but when making a rely, the message pops up stating "The server does not allow relaying" and the reply is not sent.

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.

My iPod won't copy a song because it says the file can not be converted. what do I do to fix this?

I just bought a new song on iTunes, and when I go to sync my iPod, it says it's copying the song, and then a box pops up that says
' iTunes could not copy "Song name" because the file could not be converted.'
What do I do to fix it? Help!

Have the same problem since the last 2 updates of Itunes.
I think it doesn't have anything to do with the Ipod, because Itunes can't "Convert" or "Create ALAC" from the files that are creating the problem.
Also, when you delete every library files and re-import your .ALAC, it's not always the same files that are generating this problem.
Starting to feel like stupid to have re-imported almost all my CDs into .ALAC (a proprietary file type depending on Itunes) instead of importing them to open source FLAC ....
The idea was that Ipod convert anything to 256kbps seemed like a good idea ...

How do I fix the server Error I get saying the server does not recognize the RETR command? I can send but not receive.

I am using the Godaddy email service with a POP account. some of my clients are working but many are showing the RETR error from the server. I have deleted the popstate.dat file and this did not solve the issue.

Item 1. Webmail in no way uses any of the servers, ports or protocols used by a mail client. So any assumption drawn regarding mail clients based on web mail is false.
You could have a dead anti virus program. Nortons in particular spits it and drops conections, fails to download mail and sends wrong passwords periodically, but it is certainly not alone. They are all fairly fragile in dealing with mail. Especially SSL secured connections, Only by using man in the middle hacking techniques can anti virus scan SSL secured mail.
We routinely recommend the following as diagnostics for these sorts of issues.
To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try one of the following:
*Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
*Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
; If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.

HT4519 Why can't I forward some email. It tells me server does not allow relaying

When forwarding mail i often see can't send server doesn't allow relaying

Do you see "More Like This" on the right? The first thread I pulled up contains the solution:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16673009#16673009
This taken from King Penguin, seems to be the solution:
Go into your email account's settings : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , tap on the account on the right-hand side, go into Account, then SMTP (under Outgoing Mail Server) and try filling in your email account name and password (they might show as 'optional' at the moment) and see if that helps
