Outgoing Email: Fine on iPhone - Broken in Mail.app (Same IP)

Hi All,
Within the last 48 hours I've been unable to send outgoing email from Mail.app. It works fine from my iPhone - same IP, same network. What gives?
Thanks!
Jon

Now it's working? I'll keep the post going for a little bit, but I (hope) it's solved itself.

    I have a  macbook, an ipad, and an iphone with the Mail app on all three synced through icloud, but when I read and delete emails on my phone, the inbox on my ipad is not update, so I have to go through and mark as read or delete messages again. How can I sync my iphone and ipad? (it seems like each is synced only to my laptop, so don't synchronize until I go home and use my laptop.

    POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
    Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
    If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically  Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.

  • My phone doesn't tell me that I have an email unless I open up the mail app first.

    How do I get my iphone to update me that I have an email without having to open the mail app?

    Did you try "Fetch new Data" in Settings/Mail, Contacts,Calendars?
    Fetch New Data
    This setting lets you turn Push on or off for MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, Yahoo!, and any other push accounts on iPhone. Push accounts deliver new information to iPhone whenever new information appears on the server (some delays may occur). You might want to turn Push off to suspend delivery of email and other information, or to conserve battery life.
    When Push is off, and with accounts that don’t support push, data can still be fetched—that is, iPhone can check with the server and see if new information is available. Use the Fetch New Data setting to determine how often data is requested. For optimal battery life, don’t fetch too often.
    Turn Push on: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” > Fetch New Data, then tap to turn Push on.
    Set the interval to fetch data: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” > Fetch New Data, then choose how often you want to fetch data for all accounts.
    To conserve battery life, fetch less frequently.

  • Is my Gmail app on my iphone preventing my mail app from connecting to my gmail account?

    Is my Gmail app on my iphone preventing my mail app from connecting to my gmail account?
    Whenever I try to type in my information to my Mail app it will not verify my gmail account- it says my username/password is incorrect when it isn't.
    Please help!

    it may be a two part security verification.  contact the email provider and see if you need a special password.
    some users find simply changing the password resloves the issue.

  • Draft emails not deleting after sending via Mail.app

    When I compose an email a copy of that get auto saved in the Draft folder and should delete itself once I press send but that is not the case.  After I press send I can see a copy in my Sent folder AND in the Draft folder.  It only seems to happen with some emails that have attachments even with very small file sizes.
    Has anyone else had this problem and is there a fix? 
    Email is my business and I can't have unpredictable behaviour like this.  When I see the same message in my Draft and Sent folders its impossible to tell if it has actually been sent.  I have to follow up with a phone call to verify receipt.  Ridiculous!
    Here are my relevant specs:
    IMAP email service
    OSX 10.6.8
    Mail.app
    If you have a fix, thanks in advance.

  • Changing outgoing email address from iphone

    I currently have my MobileMe account set up on my iphone, and it is using my MobileMe ID as my email address <Edited by Host>. However I would like to set it up with my alias<Edited by Host>. Is there a way to change this setting on the phone? I know I can change the outgoing email address from mail on my computer, but I don't see that function on my iphone.
    Thanks

    You can set up MobileMe to use any email address as a 'push' email on the iPhone. The first thing you need to do is set your non-MobileMe (.Mac) email address for auto-forward to your MobileMe (.Mac) account.
    When you create the email account, make sure you set it up as Other (not as a .Mac or MobileMe account.) Then select IMAP as the type of account. Enter the name and auto-forwarded email address. (This is the email address that will show as the "From" email, even though you're using your MobileMe account.)
    For your mail server settings, use your MobileMe settings:
    * Incoming settings:
    o Host Name: mail.mac.com
    o User Name: MobileMe user name
    o Password: MobileMe password
    * Outgoing Settings:
    o Host Name: smtp.mac.com
    o User Name: MobileMe user name
    o Password: MobileMe password
    * Advanced:
    o Use SSL - On
    o Authentication - Password
    o Server Port - 587
    Now you're able to receive 'push' email from your non-MobileMe account, and reply without using the @me.com address. (You can use those same settings in the Mail App as well.)

  • Iphone email dont update unless i open mail app

    My iphone 4s has always worked fine, but until recently ive noticed i dont get my emails unless i open the mail app.  Non of my settings have changed for like pushing and fetching mail.  This is for my hotmail account.
    Any ideas would be great.
    Brian K

    try going to settings >mail, contacts, callendars >fetch new data > push> turn on. then scroll down go to advanded and go to each email on that list and make sure theyre set to 'push'. then your emails should come straight through as you get them! no more manual loading!

  • Cannot download blueyonder emails to both iPhone and Mac Mail

    Up until very recently I was receiving blueyonder emails on both my Mac Mail app on my MacBook and on my iPhone.
    Now the emails will only download to the device it hits first. So, if I receive emails on my iPhone overnight, they wont be received on my MacBook/Mac Mail app when I switch it on and vice versa.
    It's a blueyonder (virgin media) email account using POP3.
    Macbook is running Mac OS X 10.5.8
    Iphone 3G running 3.1.2
    Any ideas what to do to receive the emails on both devices?

    Hi I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago. They have posted a solution on their website it's just hard to find!
    All you have to do is in your phone mail settings you have to add "recent:" before your username (I've put it before address and description as well just incase)
    so for example:
    recent:[email protected]
    here is the info from the website
    How do I download mail to multiple POP email programs?
    Important information for customers who download Virgin Media Mail using several email programs or on different computers or devices
    To access your messages with multiple POP email programs, use recent mode in every client to make sure that all messages are made available, rather than only to the first client to access new mail. Recent mode fetches the last 30 days of mail, regardless of whether it's been sent to another POP client already.
    To enable Recent mode, replace '[email protected]' in the Username field of your POP client settings with 'recent:[email protected]' and ensure that the Leave messages on server option in your POP client is enabled.
    POP Download settings - keeping copies in your webmail inbox when you download messages to Outlook or other programs
    By default, when messages are downloaded by Outlook Express or other email programs, Virgin Media Mail is set to keep Virgin Media Mail's copy in the Inbox. This means that we keep a copy in your webmail inbox so it can be accessed online via webmail, or by other email programs on different computers or mobile devices.
    If you want to change this, you can go to Forwarding & POP/IMAP within Settings, and next to When messages are accessed with POP select one of these options in the drop-list:
    - archive Virgin Media Mail's copy
    - delete Virgin Media Mail's copy
    If you chose to keep or archive Virgin Media Mail's copy, these messages will eventually fill up your mail quota, but remember that with Virgin Media Mail you do have lots of space.
    Please note that some email programs may be set to delete your messages when they are downloaded, but the setting within Virgin Media Mail will override the options set in your email program.

  • Downloading of emails via webmail, iPhone and Mac Mail

    I currently access emails from my ISP via three avenues. I use webmail when I'm in the office, iPhone on the go and Mac Mail at home. However, I will end up seeing the same emails three times. Even after deleting unwanted emails from my webmail, they will still appear in iPhone and Mac Mail when I access emails and vice versa. Has this anything to do with the POP or IMAP settings? I have set my ISP email on iPhone and Mac Mail under POP. I have ever tried to change the POP to IMAP with same results.
    Any advice? Thanks.

    I am having the same issue.

  • New mail shows up on iphone but NOT mail.app

    Not sure if this belongs here, sorry if its the wrong place.
    I have a mobile me email, and iphone, and an imac. when new mail comes in it shows up fine on iphone and when i FIRST launce mail.app. However, if a second email comes in, mail.app will not 'see it'. iphone will.
    how is this possible? and how do i fix it?
    thanks

    On my set up, with the mobile me sync panel set to automatic and mail accounts ticked, I recieve incoming mail instantly. (on phone and mac)
    Mail Accounts under the Sync tab for your MobileMe account settings is for syncing email account settings with the Mail.app between multiple Macs only. This has nothing to do with Fetching messages or new messages being pushed to the Mail.app or to the iPhone.
    The iPhone includes a Push setting, which can be turned on or off. Are you saying if you turn Push access off on your iPhone and leave Mail Accounts selected under the Sync tab for your MobileMe account settings on your Mac, new messages will be pushed to your iPhone with your MobileMe account even though Push access is turned off on your iPhone?
    +There is no setting at System Preferences > MobileMe under the Sync tab that has anything to do with the Mail.app.+
    +The Fetch setting for the Mail.app is at Mail > Preferences under the General tab.+
    +The Mail.app setting that allows for Push access with an IMAP account is available under the Advanced tab for the account preferences - use IDLE command if the server supports it.+
    The iPhone includes a Fetch setting, which is used if Push access is turned off. The iPhone includes a global push setting - on or off, and you can enable or disable push access separately for received messages, contacts and calendars with a MobileMe account. I don't have push access enabled for received messages with my MobileMe account on my iPhone, but I do have push access enabled for contacts and calendar events.
    The MobileMe sync settings under the Sync tab for your MobileMe account preferences has nothing to do with the Mail.app and checking for new messages or syncing server stored mailboxes with the Mail.app or with the iPhone's Mail client.

  • IPhone, calender, iCal, mail.app: probem inviting people to meeting

    Hi everyone,
    last night I downloaded the 3.0 Version. Everything runs fine but...
    I tried the new feature to invite people to appointments in calender. On the first sight everything works fine. But then there where Problems.
    My colleague received my invitation on his iPhone but the iPhone could not open the "winmail.dat".
    We then tried it using mail.app, where the "winmail.dat" was visible. The content of the "winmail.dat" could not be opened. Therefore iCal.app could also not handle the invitation.
    This feature is very important to me and surely to many others.
    Could anybody tell me what went wrong?
    kind regards, Uwe

    Ah! after talking to different people we found out that this might be the support for Exchange 2007 from Microsoft.
    What I have to tell is that we are using Zarafa as a replacement for Exchange.
    Probably this will be tha cause for the missing functionality.
    As far as we know the colleagues from Zarafa are working hard to update their Software.
    Still waiting for a solution,
    regards, Uwe

  • Using folders in Mail app on iPhone - Synching iPhone and Mac Mail app

    I have a hotmail account and my iMac is set up to recieve that mail to the Mail app. In the Mail app I have organized all the emails I have recieved into different folders but I would like those same folders to show up on my iPhone so that when an email comes in I can drag it to the appropriate folder and it will be in that folder on my iPhone as well as on my iMac. Also if I delete a email on my iPhone I would like it to delete in my Mail app on my iMac.
    Is this possible? if so, how do I do it?
    Thanks in advance for any help!!!

    New emails should automatically get pushed onto your device; however if you have read your emails on a different computer or device it will still show as unread on your iphone.
    follow the following steps make sure that they are right:
    Settings
    Mail Contacts Calendar
    Fetch new Data
    Ensure that “Push” is on
    Ensure that “Every 15 Minutes” is selected
    Go down to advanced
    Select the accounts outstanding and change them to “Push”

  • How can I have my emails on iPhone4 and and the mail app on Macbook?

    I currently have a Yahoo email address which I had before having my iPhones...and now I have a Macbook Pro. How can I get my emails to be visible on my iPhone mail app and the mail app on the Macbook? Before I attempt it, if I add this mail account to the mail app on the Macbook will my mails then download and not be visible on the iPhone?

    You need to make sure your Yahoo! account is configured as IMAP on all devices/computers you want to access it from:

  • Reading messages on iphone causing Mac Mail App to have blank from, to, etc

    So this is a weird one and I haven't found it covered so I'm at my wits end.
    Not sure exactly when - but somewhere after installing Leopard I get the following behavior:
    If I retrieve mail with mail.app first normally I get proper headers displayed in the message list window.
    If I READ the email on my iPhone let alone respond to it, etc. and then go back to my mail.app all emails I chose to read, reply to, etc. have blank from, to, and subject lines in the message list window. They appear ok in the message window but not the message list window.
    If I choose to reply to (or forward) any message that has these blanks the resulting email message to edit is missing subject line, to line, etc.
    I'm running an IMAP account.

    Yahoo prevents accessing a free Yahoo account with any email client such as the Mail.app on your Mac for U.S. residents.
    Yahoo provides a free Push-IMAP account for iPhone customers which can be accessed with the iPhone's email client but with no others on another computer or device.
    You can get a free AOL account which can be accessed as an IMAP account with the Mail.app on your Mac and with the iPhone's email client.
    There arent too many free IMAP accounts available and you usually get what you pay for.

  • Yahoo! email does not load through ipad Mail app.

    I'm using an iPad mini and for about 1 week now the built-in Mail app does not retrieve my Yahoo! email.  When I click on the Mail icon a blank screen comes up -- no error message, no nothing, just a blank screen.  I have to use the browser to access my Yahoo! email.  I have tried deleting and re-establishing my Yahoo! email account.  I have tried re-establishing my network connection.  I have tried restoring my iPad to factory settings.  I have switched my default email account to G-mail and I receive my email just fine through the built-in app.  But Yahoo! is my primary account and I cannot get my email.  This just started in the last week.  Prior to this I have been receiving Yahoo! email just fine through the built-in app for 3 years.  But now nothing.    Also, the mail app recognizes I have new mail because the little red number pops up when new mail arrives.  But in order to retrieve the mail I have to go to the browser, and once the mail is read, the little red number disappears.
    I contacted Yahoo! support and they suggested I set up an app password if I use two-step verification.  But I don't use two-step verification.  Then they suggested checking my IMAP settings, but IMAP settings aren't accessible (that I know of) through the iPad mini settings.  So I just re-established the network settings to no avail.
    I can't help but think this is a Yahoo! email server issue, but Yahoo! doesn't mention that.
    Someone please help!

    Yahoo mail works on my Mac desktop & laptop, plus my iPad 2.
