Outgoing Mail OK But Always 2 Messages Fail To Send.
I can sync my iPhone OK and the Mail works fine, except for an annoying little problem: when I open up mail it searches for new mail, but at the same time it tries to send the same two emails EVERY TIME!!! It results in the dialog box 'Cannot Send Mail. The connection to the outgoing server "smtp.mac.com" failed.' The outgoing server is fine and I can send and receive emails, but this is getting on my nerves. I have looked in all the mail folders for rogue outgoing emails, and have re-synced the mail account, but to no avail.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any help greatly appreciated.
Re-syncing the email account has no affect on this since this transfers the account settings only from your computer to the iPhone which is in one direction only from your computer to the iPhone. This does not transfer or sync messages or anything else.
If you are accessing your .Mac account as a .Mac type account or IMAP account with the Mail application on your Mac, I suggest deleting the account on the iPhone and re-syncing the account settings and if this doesn't work, delete the account and manually recreate the account on the iPhone without transferring the account settings to your iPhone via the sync process.

I have an iPad and iPhone. Both devices have been set with the same outgoing mail server. All of a sudden the ipad stopped sending emails but the iPhone still sends emails. I have tried everything but the iPad will not send.
Try this out:
You delete your Mailaccount on your iPad and then add the same new...

i have added my company e-mail add into my MacBook , i recive e-mails but i cant send e-mails , anyone knows why ? i have tried all options in outgoing mail settings but it wont work !!
Hello,
The receiving email ports are:
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995
Outgoing ports are...
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users. -
"Message Failed To Send," but it actually sends it 6 times!
This started happening this morning. Whenever I try to send a text, whether it be a regular text or iMessage, I keep getting a message saying "Message Failed To Send," and then it has a red exclamation point by the message and it says "Not Delivered." If that's not annoying enough, the recipients are actually receiving the message 6 times! Is anyone else having this issue? I'm using a [brand new] iPhone 5S on AT&T service, if that matters. I'm about to throw this iPhone at the wall... HELP!
Throwing it at the wall will certainly stop it from sending the message six times, along with everything else. First thing to do is reset the phone, following the procedure outlined below.
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss) -
Messages fail to send constantly..
I always have 3/4 bars of 4G. if I send a text message more and more often it comes up message failed to send, I've tried putting my phone on aeroplane mode and send the message again but it doesn't work.. any ideas?
Are phone calls ok? There seems to be a lot of issues with signal around at the mo?
First of give it the good old fashion turn off and on again, is it all messages that fail?
If it isn't, go to message, tap details in top right corner, then the i next to the contacts name, this will show you the contact card for that person, the number/email address it is trying to send to will be highlighted blue.
Normal text messages (green text bubble in message app) will only go to numbers not email addresses, and iMessage will only go to other iOS devices via number or email (blue text bubble) -
cant receive or send messages on my iPad. Keep getting "message failed to send" and it is green instead of blue. This happened after I turned on iCloud on my iPhone. Would that have anything to do with this problem? It's like its not sincing to my phone but I can send & receive emails ok.
iOS 7.1.2, huh? It MAY be having some trouble with the iOS 8.x devices and latest iCloud features. Although it meets the minimum system requirements, it does not meet the recommended ones - System requirements for iCloud - Apple Support
You should try Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support - this is generally the first step in troubleshooting, all devices - for all time
Message Colors
Blue is iMessage (Apple service)
Green is SMS (Carrier service)
What happens when you use your iPad similarly? (what iPad model & iOS version)
As a last resort*, Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support - *this document tells that all your data will be lost but provides steps to back-up (Before section) then restore your data (Restore section #4) -
Message failed to send but has arrived
I am having the same problem. It only seems to occur when I'm including a photo in the message. It says "Message failed to send," but it usually goes through.
-
Periodically, text messages seem to hang for a long period of time in the "sending" status. Then I get an error message that says the message failed to send. When I check with the recipient, they usually say they did receive the message. Sometimes they say they received the same message three times.
I cannot see a pattern for when these failures occur. It has happened when I have one bar and when I have 4 bars. It has happened when I'm connected to 3G or 4G, and when I'm connected to wifi.We want to see those picture messages flying again! Does the wireless signal appear strong when attempting the message? What Messaging app are you using myustbedumb? Are you also using a Network Extender?
Thank you,

Whenever i try and send an imessage to someone that has an iphone it gets stuck at times and won't go through. I then have to send it as a basic text and then it will respond message failed to send what should i do when it does this i need help
The use of iMessage depends on both the sender and the receiver having an active data connection. If either of the two connections are interrupted, the message can fail. The sending of an iMessage differs from the sending of an SMS, and if you are having SMS failures, that would be a carrier concern.

#emailhelp
Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional. -
Mail is demanding "a preferred outgoing mail server", but in MAIL; help, it doesn't exist.
I finally got mail working for the first time in three years, but everytime I log in, it pops up an error window over an old message, and says it couldn't be sent because I don't have "a preferred outgoing mail server". Now how would you find out how to set that and fix this? It doesn't exist in preferences, so I clicked open "Help", and searched the phrase; "preferred outgoing mail server". It doesn't exist. Anybody, want to fill this unapple gap?
Do you have a server specified in Preferenes > Accounts?

I need to change my password for outgoing mail server but it won't let me
I Need to change my password for outgoing mail server on iPad 2 but it won't let me change it. I can't send out mail
I assume that you mean that the setting is grayed out and that is what "it won't let me" means. Have you tried selecting another SMTP server of you have another one available in the settings?

Digital touch message fails to send
My apple watch sport is failing to send digital touch messages. I can receive them but i cannot send them out. I keep getting a message that it fails to send and asks me to retry.
check on your settings to see I message, click on send and receive and see how it's setup, if you see it's setup as your iCloud you may want to change it to your cell number .... Try from there

My Nokia message fails to send after reinstall of ...
Hi there,
I'm posting to ask whether anybody has encountered this issue and whether anyone knows of any fixes to fix this issue. After doing a reinstall of the phone's firmware as mentioned in another post on the forum, the My Nokia message keeps failing to send and keeps getting stuck in my Outbox, I'm able to send other messages in which some contacts are able to receive them whereas some of them can't for some strange reason and don't arrive in which I am trying to resolve this problem. The SIM I currently have in the phone is a Lycamobile micro SIM which is converted into a full sized SIM using a micro to full SIM converter, could this be the culprit of the problem? I've tried this method for many months and have only encountered 1 person not receiving a message for me but this was a one off though and hasn't happened for a couple of months, this was when I was test trialing Vodafone as I currently own many free SIMs and want to try them all out on the various phones I currently own over 2 to 3 years in order to test signal coverage across many places I travel on a regular basis such as Manchester, Carlisle etc. Your continuous help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
RocknRollTimHi EAaspa,
I checked the signal strength on my phone screen and it has full bars displaying, I have even moved to another area to get better reception and still the same happens as before. I've also checked the message centre settings on my phone with my network operator and they are correct. I have also sent a text message to my own phone number and the text was sent and received fine. I do recall Vodafone sending out a text on Tuesday to one of my Vodafone mobile numbers (presume the same applies to all Vodafone numbers) saying "We're upgrading the network in your area. This means there may be around 2-3 days disruption over the next 6 weeks. We're sorry for any inconvenience caused and we'll let you know when the work's complete. For more information on the network in your area, see our coverage checker at http://vdfn.co/pe5ka". I know the person who I have been trying to send texts to is on Vodafone and lives in a rural area where she needs to use a Vodafone Signal box to provide a phone signal for her phone, it could be possibly be this causing problems but the weird thing is though that I am able to send texts from my Lycamobile number to one of my Vodafone mobile numbers and from my Vodafone mobile number to my Lycamobile and both send and receive texts fine whereas if I send her texts from my Lycamobile number to her mobile number she doesn't receive them at all even though the phone says they were sent properly i.e. disappear from Outbox and generate copies in the sent items whereas if she sends texts from her mobile number to my Lycamobile number I receive them fine?
With regards to the My Nokia message problem I think the 84000 number no longer works as Microsoft have been making changes to their servers including the old Nokia servers where they have been turning off SSL 3.0 and enabling TLS 1.0 instead due to a number of security breaches happening on various websites this year in particular as I have noticed this on quite a number of websites and prevented me from logging into Nokia Suite 3.8 on a few of our PCs, I resolved this by using the following link http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Online-services-from-Nokia-Nokia/Can-t-sign-in-to-Nokia-account-via-... I'll confirm whether the 84000 number works for My Nokia messages as soon as I have sometime to test this on my other Nokia 5230 after doing a soft reset, hard reset and reinstall.
Anyway thank you for responding to my forum thread and for suggesting fixes on how to resolve my problem, and I'll keep you informed of how I get on.
Kind regards,
RocknRollTim
