My iphone 4s is randomly not sending emails. The message appears in the sent box, but the receipient is not geeting the message. Suggestions?

I have attempted the recommended fixes; power off the phone and I have deleted the email account and readded the account. I also signed into the email account. The problem is not witth my email account. This is a very disturbing problem. I purchased the iphone to reliably communicate. I have no idea which emails are sent since they are all appearing in my sent folder, but the receipient is not getting the email message. I regret upgrading to IOS7. This was not a problem under the older opperating systems. I tested this with my first generation iPad. I sent a message successfully to the receipient using my ipad 1. Does anyone have any other fixes to try?
The biggest concern is that the phone just randomly decides that certain emails are not sent! I am becoming very disillusioned with apple products - great way to destroy a good thing! The android market is looking more appealing everyday.

I had that problem and seemed to have solved it by deleting my email accounts and then reinstalling. I think there was a HARD reset involved also, but since it was just after I got my new 4S (6 weeks ago), I'm not sure about the reset.

TS3899 I still can not send email from my ipad but iPhone works on those accounts

I still can not send email from my .mac account or a .comcast.net from my ipad. I how 2 people so far that has brought to my attention. We have exchange accounts setup on the ipads for work. I compare the settings from iPad to iPhone from my view it appears identical. I am looking at an iPad 2 and a Mini.
I turned on and off the ipads and nothing really changed. The emails come into those accounts.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

When you say you can't send...as in they never get the email? Does the email appear to send? Error message? When?
It may be more than one iPad that has a problem....

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.

My iPhone will not send emails when away from my home wifi

Hey craggee,
Thanks for the question. This is usually do to a limitation by your ISP/email provider:
If you are only able to use your email account while connected to your home network, this may be a limitation put in place by your email service provider. For further support, please contact your email service provider directly.

You have the wrong outgoing (SMTP) server settings. Contact your email provider for the correct settings.

You need to check with the email account provider for the email account to determine what the settings should be.

TS3899 my Iphone allows me to receive but not send emails. How do I get it to send emails?

My iphone will not send email messages, only receive them. It is linked with my Mac. Wondering if the issue has something to do with Itunes being registered with my husband's account? Maybe I'm grasping at straws...

Thank you! I am so tech deficient that I just don't know what to do when I have a problem and this fixed it right away and was so easy for me to follow your directions. Really appreciate your help!!

I have a 1st gen iPhone that I just updated the software to 2.0.2
Now whenever I press the mail icon it goes to the mail app for about 4 seconds, does nothing, no loading of folders, old messages, nothing.
Then it reverts back to the home screen. Tried restarting, haven't tried restoring, thought I'd look here first.
Anyone???

TS1398 iPad 2 not sending email

I have tried everything, reboots, reinstall email account, it seams / feels like a corrupt & stuck email. All email account setting are correct and confirmed, but it still says "sender address was rejected by the server". Is it possible to be a send problem, it sort half sends then rejects the email, I have 3 email address in my iPad and it does it with all three, my iPhone send & received to all address with no problems, 4 days and 20 later I still can't fix it. I am getting ready to factory reset ! Anyone please help.

Sending and receiving are two different things.
Even if the Connection Doctor gives all green ticks, it is no proof that you do not have a problem.
And since the iPhone ais much "loosely" on sending emails than the Mac, it does not prove that it always has to be a issue caused by Mac. It can be ofcourse but doesn't have to.
According to my friends CapeTown area is not free of server "problems".
As an example: I am in Switzerland (where everything is "perfect") and I have a Swisscom email address and also a Cablecom email address . Receiving is perfect. Being on the Cablecom internet connection, no way that I can send a Swisscom smtp email. Where ever I am in Europe I can send Swisscom emails easliy. Only not here when connected to Cablecom internet. I get a lot of help (Apple, Swisscom, Cablecom, other experts), but already about half a year it is still impossible.

I can receive but not send emails with my skynet account - what am I doing wrong ?

I can receive but not send emails with my skynet account - what am I doing wrong ?
I have no problems with my Yahoo account but I can not send emails with my skynet account.
Actually in iPhone :
Outgoing Mail Server > SMTP "relay.skynet.be"
Primary server > Not Configured > Off
Thank you ...

When you set them up, did you set up both the incoming and outgoing email servers separately, and did you enter the correct SMTP server name, and enter your userid and password even though it says "optional"?
Something else to try, if you haven't, is delete the accounts, connect the iPhone to iTunes, on the Info tab check the box to sync mail server settings, then sync. This should duplicate the settings from your computer to your iPhone.

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.

Follow these steps if your phone number and Apple ID do not activate after waiting 24 hours.
1. Back up your iPhone in iTunes.
2. Disconnect the iPhone from iTunes.
3. Turn FaceTime and iMessage off:
          - Settings > FaceTime
          - Settings > Messages
4. Navigate to Settings > General > Reset and select "Erase all content and settings".
5. In the iOS setup assistant, select "Set Up as New iPhone".

          - Settings > FaceTime and tap "Use your Apple ID for FaceTime"
          - Settings > Messages and tap "Use your Apple ID with iMessage"

Coldfusion 8 Not sending email

Coldfusion is not sending emails and is showing a java error
in the coldfusion administrator if the "verify mail server" box is
checked when submitting the mail settings.
The mail settings are right (they work on our production
server), and I can send mail from the command line on the machine
so there are no problems with the MTA or with a firewall.
I am running coldfusion 8 on SuSE 10 enterprise server.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I also have a send problem. I have been sending and receiving emails from several accounts on my new iPad2 for several weeks. Last night I accidentally left my computer on and the battery ran down-dead as a doornail. I plugged it in right away this morning. I use my iPad2 frequently from the couch. I wrote 9 emails and they didn't send. I checked everything I knew to check-passwords, account settings, turn wi-fi on an off. I've been reading the tech sheets and Apple Help but I cannot resolve the problem. I took Apple's advice and added the account manually with password and correct settings. It is still not sending. It is a pop3 account. I've reset my router and powered the computer, router, and iPad up and down numerous times. The computer sends and receives email just fine. I turn off Outlook so as to not have two devices trying to access the server at once. I don't think it is an embarqmail (provider) problem if I can send and receive on the computer. Originally I got an error about the same IP being used by another device. I have checked the IP addresses and they are not the same. I got a new computer Windows 7 and after 2 weeks I got everything set up. I have an iCloud account but do not put my email through it. I can't see taking the iPad to an Apple store when the iPad is the only device not working. I can send email from my iPhone 3G. This does not seem to be a computer problem. What am I missing? Thanks for any help anyone can give me.
