One of my email accounts will not send email, and is not linked to data file.

I have three email accounts set up with my Outlook 2010. All are POP3. All three accounts have been working fine, until the last day or so. One of my accounts will no longer allow me to send messages. When I go to my account settings, the two accounts that
are working show the following:
Selected account delivers new messages to the following locations:
Email Address\Inbox
in data file C:\...
The one that doesn't work shows the following:
Selected account delivers new messages to the following locations:
My Name\Inbox
The .ost data file for this email address is still in the same place, right next to the other two data files for the working accounts. For some reason, Outlook no longer has it linked to my account. How can I go about fixing this issue?
Thanks.

Hi Gwidion,
Outlook 2010 and 2013 create PST per POP3 account. In simple, single PST file for single POP3 account. So, don’t be panic. Just change the location of the
PST data file by following the given path in Outlook 2010:
File >> Account Settings >> Emails
In the “Email” tab, choose the particular account which is not able to send emails and make a double click on it or click on
“Change Folder” option. Finally, set the location of Email address.
Hopefully it will help, otherwise simply recreate a new Outlook profile.

POP email account - Will IPhone leave emails on server?

Hi,
I am a former Blackberry user.
If I set iPhone to retrieve messages from my POP email address, do I have the option of leaving those messages on the server so that I can download them later to my Outlook 2007 via the send and receive option?
Does iPhone delete the emails that it receives from the POP email account? I assume that iPhone just "copies" the emails, like Blackberry.
I just want to make sure that it is like Blackberry, where I can access my emails from iPhone and still have my emails download to Outlook.
Thank you!

Dear Allan
My iPhone worked perfectly but yesterday it wouldn't sync with my Mac: it didn't add new entries in my Address Book (I have 1300 and cannot do this by hand!). Eventually I started afresh ... I managed the sync after resetting sync history (all entries on Mac now on iPhone, but new ones on iPhone are now gone)
Furthermore, I set everything re Mail and Safari like it was (I wrote it down the first time I did this and couldn't get it going) but no go: "Could not activate EDGE: You are not subscribed to EDGE". I do not use EDGE [have a POP3 account] - I did set Network to Data Roaming (like the first time) but doesn't work.
Any suggestions?

Thunderbird keeps querying an old email account that has been deleted and is not listed in tools/account settingss

I have even deleted and reloaded <s>firefox</s> <sub>Thunderbird</sub> but it keeps trying to retrieve email from a deleted account. Where is it getting the info to try to access the account? Tools/account settings does not contain the account any longer.
<sub>Question title and first sentence edited by moderator. This question is about Thunderbird, not Firefox. aw</sub>

Let's get this clear - you said "Firefox". I take it you meant Thunderbird?

Ipad not sending email, forced to reboot for changes to apply

Hi all
I was asked to look at a friends two week old iPad today.
It was set up for them last week.
Initially the person setting it up tried to add a Gmail account but found that it would receive but not send emails (using the native email app).
They then decided to open an outlook.com account and use that instead of the gmail account.
This worked fine for two days but then error messages saying that the mail could not be sent started to pop up. It struck me that the speed with which the error message appeared after clicking send suggested that this was an iOS issue rather than the server rejecting anything.
I tried to check the imap/smtp settings in the "control panel" but they were not available (read:visible) so I deleted the account and entered the settings manually.
It still wouldn't send emails but this time it didn't throw up any error messages, instead it decided to just dump them in the outbox without notifying me that there was an issue.
Suspecting that the issue was with the ipad rather than the outlook servers, I decided to use my own smtp server details. Initially I tried using SSL but when this too failed I switched to the unsecure version on port 25.
It still wouldn't send anything so I eventually rebooted by holding down the power button until the power off slider appeared. On rebooting I discovered that I could now send emails.
TBH I have no idea if using the different SMTP server will be an issue if they ever want to check their outlook.com "sent mail" on line or not but i do have some questions
1. Why was the reboot necessary? I had closed all open, unnecessary apps by double tapping the home button Might it have been the case that manually entering the outlook.com settings would have worked (given that the ideal set up would be to use the SSL outlook servers).
2. Is this an unresolved iOS7 problem. Google searches resulted in many owners complaining that the iOS7 upgrade had rendered their email accounts incapable of sending emails. TBH the advice given ranged from perhaps sensible to plain daft.
3. can anyone using outlook.com as their email provider on iOS7 confirm which smtp server, port, etc they use?
4. Are there better email apps that actually give you detailed feedback?
i don't know when I will next get the chance to get my hands on their ipad again but I would rather that they were using the correct outgoing servers with encryption (rather than my unencrypted smtp server).
Thanks in advance

For the past few days I am now having trouble sending my client emails. I get them bounced back with a permanent error of retry time exceeded.
This is getting fustrating now as my client is needing answers that I cant give. She is unable to email her colleague in the USA, and I am now unable to email her on a btinternet.com address.
Do BT engineers monitor these forums?

Hi again Neil.
Your extra info now to me means that it appears to be problem at the client end!
I hope you don't mind me asking a few questions ....
Is she a regular BT Broadband user with a normal BTinternet email address ? Does she use secondary email addresses ?
Do you know if she can happily email other people ? If not - it could be an account problem which may last a few days ....
If you don't wish to provide the complete bounce message you received, could you perhaps email me the detail (emailing me using my shortcuts). Also pehaps you could ask your client to email me via my shortcuts, and see what happens and I'll take a look at replying to see what happens.
The user on shentel.net domain she's been trying to email, did she ever manage to send any emails initially ? It could be the destination user having a problem.
The mods do monitor these forums, but there are a lot of posts to go through of course ......

Mail email account will not send

I have 3 rr mail accounts, all created at the same time and one will not send emails.It will receive them.
I have deketed the account 3 times and started new ewach time.
Sending emails says the outgoing mailserver is incorrect, selectanother and there are none that will work. All my other rr accounts will receive and send emails and they were all created the same way.
WHat am I missing?

Perhaps the port is incorrect. Mail menu: Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Account Information. Click on the Outgoing Mail Server drop down and select Edit SMTP Server List. Then select Advanced. Try using Custom Port 25.

After updating to iOS 5 email accounts will receive but not send

After updating to iOS 5, email accounts will receive but will not send. Have made sure my SMTP is correct and are turned on. Any suggestions?

Actually, I resolved this by going to the list of servers and selected the same server from the 'Other SMTP Server' category (which happened to be the same server as the primary server) and can now email.

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

IPad 2 will not send email from any app except from my actual email app

IPad 2 will not send email from any app (eg camara, pdf edit apps, evernote ect.) except from my actual email app. It will send email from my email account in the mail app or online. Pls help :-/

I had this problem
I hit the power button and the round button at the same time and held it until it rebooted
You get the black screen and the apple logo
When that was done I want to the app and update screen and I was able to update my apps
I suggest when you update stay on that screen until they all update
I find it sometimes get stuck updating when I leave the screen as they are updating and do other things, but I could be wrong. It just seems to me that is when it happens.
The reboot works and don't worry you don't lose anything when u reboot it's like shutting down a computer and powering it back up. Everything you had before will still be there.

Have a new iPad with ios6. Will not send emails. Addresses are valid but get notice each time that recipient was rejected by the server. No help on web site, and Apple's only manual is for previous os version. We miss Steve Jobs.

Have a new IPad with IOS6. Will not send emails. Addresses are valid but get notice each time that "recipient was rejected by the server." Apple has apparently neglected to put out a manual with IOS6 and the previous manual has no indication of what to do. Really miss Steve Jobs.

Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if it then works

My Original iphone will not send email!!!

Who is the email account provider for the email account?
This error message is not accurate. This means the internet service provider being used for your internet connection at the time is blocking the use of the account's SMTP server used to send messages with the account.
Most, if not all internet service providers block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the internet service provider being used for your internet connection at the time unless the SMTP server is authenticated with a user name and password. Being connected to AT&T's cellular network is no exception in this regard.
If this account is provided by your internet service provider used at home, most internet service providers do not have an authenticated SMTP server with the email account they provide, which means you will only be able to send messages with the account's SMTP server when connected to the internet with the internet service provider that provides the account such as when connected to an available wi-fi network with the internet service provider that provides the email account being used as the internet service provider for the wi-fi network you are connected to.

my iphone will not send emails when away from home wifi any advice

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.
