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.

  • After years of use, AOL mail now won't send mail using firefox

    I have used AOL with FIREFOX for years. However, now it won't send mail, the send button, and the reply button are dead, inoperative.
    I have updated FIREFOX, it didn't help.

  • Mail app won't send mail, but it will receive mail

    The mail app on my macbook pro and iphone will not send mail, but they can recieve mail.  I deleted both accounts and reloaded them and they still won't work.  After that I ran repair permissions and it found nothing wrong.  Has anyone experienced this problem and how can I fix this?

    I had same problem with my MBA and Mac Desktop (don't have iPhone)...could receive but not send emails after Lion upgrade.  I only experienced it at home versus at work (inconsistently on both on my macbook air and my desktop mac).
    For me the solution was when you compose an email there are two dropdown listboxes next to From:  ...in the second one select smtp.me.com:yourusername   Until Apple makes a change you might need to do that each time you send or reply to a message.
    I think it has something to do with if you don't do that then port 25 might get used which can be blocked by a lot of ISPs.
    Apple support helped me solve this problem and said it was a known issue they are working on.
    Hope this helps with your issue!

  • Mail app won't send mail to my .me or .mac account

    My ISP is roadrunner in Rochester, NY.  On my iMac, running Tiger, my wife, in her account, can send and recieve email just fine using her roadrunner mail account with the mail app. The problem is that wen she sends email to my .mac or .me account, it doesn't reach me. There are no error messages and the mail successfully shows up in her sent folder. In comparison, I have my roadrunner account set up so that it forwards all my mail to .me. If she sends me mail using my roadrunner address, it reaches me.
    Does anyone have any idea why her account is failing at sending mail to .me or .mac but works with everything else?

    Most if not all internet service providers (ISPs) now block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP on Port 25 which is the default or standard port for SMTP servers.
    Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only (such as the .Mac SMTP server) on Port 25 but some block its use regardless.
    These restrictions are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
    .Mac's SMTP server and Gmail's SMTP server are what is called Password authenticated. I don't know if the SMTP server for your school's account is authenticated.
    Do you not know who your internet service provider is which would be the ISP you use when connected to the internet at your apartment?
    If you weren't having any problems before, sounds like all these different networks with different ISPs that you use to connect to the internet don't block the use of an authenticated SMTP server and if you send messages with all three email accounts when connected to the internet with different ISPs, the SMTP server for your school's account must be authenticated also.
    Lets check the settings for .Mac's SMTP server. Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below.
    The settings should be as follows:
    Outgoing Mail Server - or SMTP server: smtp.mac.com
    Server Port: 587
    Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): Can be selected or not selected.
    Authentication (Type): Password
    User Name: The portion of your .Mac email address in front of the @ sign only.
    Password: The account's password - the same password used to check the account for new messages.

  • Can't send mail: connection to server timed out

    Every time I go out of the USA I have problems with mail. Sometimes they go away by themselves........this one is not. I am in israel; I receive mail but when I send i get the message "connection to server smtp on port 587 timed out........
    How can I fix this and also not have problems everytime I am abroad??

    I've been having a problem sending and receiving. I'm on a slow shared wi-fi connection. Does speed affect the mail connection? Will it time out if it takes too long to download the messages? And can if so, can I change the "time out" time to a longer duration to allow for the slower speed?

  • Unable to send - connection to server timed out

    I'm lately having problems sending mail with Mail.app. A few days ago I started getting the following error message:
    Cannot send message using the server smtp.mac.com:username
    The connection to the server "smtp.mac.com" on port 993 timed out.
    I didn't deal with it at the time because I was using a hotel wireless connection and just assumed it was a problem with their setup; however, I'm now having the problem at home.
    I haven't changed any settings at all, and it started before installing the latest update. Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this and what to do about it?
    Thanks, Rick

    When I first set up this account, under the advanced tab it had port 993 by default, but it was grayed out. I was unable to change it using mail.app preferences, but tried a test message, and when it wouldn't send used the option to edit the server list. I changed it to port 25 there, and it now works. For some reason, when I look at the advance tab under preferences, it still has port 993 and still grayed out. It now works, but I don't understand why it would still show port 993.
    In any case, thanks for the help.

  • Mail App won't Send Mail on Macbook Air, Outlook works fine

    Mail app will no longer send, from my new 2011 Macbook Air with Lion. The MS Outlook app sends fine.

    This was the answer:
    This happened to me after updating to Lion. This is what I did.
    When mail tries sending/receiving you'll see the spinning icon next to the trays on the left hand side. Whilst this is happening click onwindow>Connection Doctor. Find the offending account, red dot, double click on the account and in the window that opens check the details inAccount Information and Advanced are correct; mine weren't and when I corrceted them, all was well. These details semed to be different to those I had set in the Preferences pane of mail.
    Good luck,
    Andy
    what this does is guide you through editing the smtp port list, which is a bit hard to locate on the accounts screen.
    mail cycles through the possible smtp ports, which can take a VERY long time. Usually 587 is what you want, but in any case, pick one, see if it works, tell it not to cycle.

  • Activesync of mail and calendar fails. Error message says connection with server is successful. Incorrect version accessed. Has anyone encountered this problem and figured out cause or solution?

    Wireless connection through Versamail using Exchange Active Sync.
    Post relates to: Treo 650 (Sprint)

    I am having the exact same issue. I am running Windows Server 2003 SBS Premium with Exchange 2003 SP1 and the subsequent KB update installed.
    I am currently thinking that this is related to the fact that I have issued my own SSL certificate for the site. I haven't been able to find a way to install a custom Certificate Authority to be trusted.
    http://www.palmone.com/us/products/smartphones/treo650/activesync-faqs.epl says that "Companies that require the use of custom-made or SSL certificates signed by a trusted authority may have trouble using palmOne’s implementation of Exchange ActiveSync." Has anyone who issues their own certs gotten Exchange Activesync to work properly? murph2 - Have you issued your own certificates?

  • I'm using ipad2 with ios5. My outbox won't send mail. I guess i need an outgoing server and can't find it anywhere.

    I'm using ipad2 with ios5. My outbox won't send mail. I guess i need an outgoing server and can't find it anywhere. Any suggestions on how to get it to send. I have tried everything, rebooting, ensuring passwords are correct, etc.

    My problem is i don't have an outgoing server spot on my menu.  These are my selections. After getting to the menu that where i enter my password for hotmail, i have the following menu choices:  Email, then server (bay-m.hotmail.com, then domain (empty), then username, then password, thendescription, then Use SSL, then S/MIME
    I don't see or can find an outgoing server choice. My daughter has an ipad2 using Ios4 and she has all the choices that are illustrated on. All the help sites. I only have the ones listed above.

  • Outbox won't send mail

    Had a problem earlier with my email account (Yahoo) being hacked, After resetting password all seemed to be well, but now my iPad won't send mail, it goes into OUTBOX but won't send. Receiving mail is no problem.
    I am new to iPad and need a bit of help.
    Thanks
    John

    Brilliant! Thanks Jaimi E.
    My iPad did resume 'normal service' after an overnight rest. I did not know that there was an imposed 24hr quarantine, but I do know that all's well now.
    I found The BT staff in their technical help desk were good at fixing the original hacking problem on my laptop, but totally helpless at sorting the iPad issues out.
    I had to talk to Apple help desk in UK who in turn put me through to the USA. Their consultant was great, but he undoubtedly didn't seem to aware of the quarantine imposed by Yahoo. I will try to get this information through to him for future information
    Thanks to all for your assistance.
    My message to anyone who reads this topic and has been hacked on Yahoo (or btinternet) is
    1 update security passwords on laptop. New password required. Delete all traces of hacked messages (inc failed delivery notices and real people's responses)
    2 uninstall your mail settings on iPad and reinstall with new mail password on iPad.
    3 the iPad mail system should then receive, but not send mail (goes into Outbox)
    4 wait 24 hours then everything will be back to normal.
    As a brand new user and about to go on a long holiday, it was a nightmare, but ended up fine!
    Now in Singapore at 6am local time, can't sleep so catching up on my machine which functions perfectly!

  • My new iphone 4 receives mail but won't send it

    my new iphone 4 receves mail but won't send it..

    Depending on what account your using, you may need to enter a password for your outgoing mail server, same password as your incoming mail server - go back into the mail account and check.

  • I recently updated to Mavericks and now all my e-mail accounts won't send

    I recently updated to Mavericks and now all my e-mail accounts won't send. They all receive ok but when I send I get a message "sender address rejected by server" and " Authentification required" The passwords are still intact

    Check the Mail settings for your account, especially the SMTP (outgoing) address, type of authentication, and entry of the proper email username and password. You can do this when you select the account then under the outgoing mail server use the dropdown menu to select the Edit option. Select your outgoing configuration in the list. Check the settings below, then click on the Advanced tab and check those settings.
    If all is OK, then I suggest your reinstall Mavericks:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it isthree times faster than wireless.

  • MBP won't send mail

    I have both a MBP & MBA.  For some reason the MBP has stopped sending mail from the mail app.  The out going server is the same with both; smtp.me.com:user name.  However, the MBP won't send mail. 
    I thought it was a MobileMe problem.  Then this morning I picked up the MBA and as soon as MobileMe did a sync there was the out going mail that was in my out box on the MPB.  MobileMe did a sync and immediately sent the mail.  I'd already tried MobileMe Express Lane this morning, but the site isn't working ... come back later.
    I'm stumped as to why the MobileMe mail works on the MBA and not the MBP where the mail originated.
    Any ideas?

    Double check with your ISP for the correct Outgoing Mail Server format.

  • Outgoing mail suddenly won't send

    For years I've had a POP account, using Mac Mail to send and rec ATT/Yahoo mail. In the past week or so, my account has decided it won't send anything and says the server can't be accessed. However, incoming mail works fine, and my wife's POP account on another log-in with ATT/Yahoo mail also works fine sending and receiving. I tried deleting my account and starting over, which allowed me to send one email successfully. Next time I logged in, though, it was back to balking. Any ideas?

    Hey, I found a fix for Mac who use ATT / UVerse / Yahoo!!
    The directions that are given by ATT are only good for setting up an ATT e-mail account on a Mac. If for some reason you need to use another provider (gasp!) their settings will NOT work. The workaround is to have an agent open up port 25 so that you can use another outgoing smtp server. In my case, my provider is fatcow.com (really!). So once port 25 was opened up I could add smtp.fatcow.com as an outgoing mail server. In that case, they do require password authentication. Your case may be simpler and you may not need authentication at all (Inisight, WOW, RoadRunner etc.)
    So it is possble, despite the dearth of information on ATT's UVerse web site. : P
    Cheers,
    : )
