POP3 Can Receive Email, but Can't Respond

I have a Droid X and my email account is set up. I can receive emails, but I can't respond without receiving an error message. I've spoken with Motorola a number of times and they are not able to fix the problem. I've even tried setting up the account so that it is pushed through Gmail, but it doesn't working. Does anyone else have any suggestions?
I'm very dissappointed in this, having spent money on a phone that is not doing what it is made to do. Please advice.

I'm having the same issue... actually one of our clients is. Once the issue was reported I setup an email address on our server then tried adding that address to my DroidX. I had the same results as our customer reported; can receive messages fine but cannot send, reply or forward.
I have been searching the internet and thought I had the solution... on one of the droid forums a member said the solution was to use the gmail smtp server; smtp.gmail.com. This requires use of your gmail email address & password. Technically - it does allow you to send, etc BUT the recipient sees your gmail address as the sender - not the POP3 address you want them to see!
Does ANYONE have a solution that does not involve downloading another third-party app? I take that back - if you know of a good third-party solution, NOT Yahoo, gmail, etc. let me know. Really hoping we don't have to go to that extreme.
I will voice the same sentiments so many others have expressed: I HAD A BLACKBERRY BEFORE AND THIS WAS NOT A PROBLEM!!!!!!
Thanks,
Fred T.
First - Blackberry have about a 6 year headstart on Android for mobile email..... and they do things differently than everyone else.
Second - Problems with not being able to send, is in the setup and settings....
We need more information before we can try to help.
Do you use Microsoft Exchange or a different email platform?
If you use Exchange, do you have ActiveSync setup for outside the network ie Activesync exposed through OWA? If so, one program that works quite well is Touchdown by NitroDesk. This program is very good/stable/works well with Exchange servers.
If using another email server program/platform, is there a setting somewhere to expose other ports for outside the network? A lot of email server programs (I don't know them all, but the ones that I have a little knowledge on, do not allow connections to ports 110 and 25 outside of the LAN).
Its just a matter of figuring out which settings work.

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.

I can receive email but can't send on my ipad2

I can receive email but can't send on my ipad2. It says 'rejected by the server'.

I would that that your smtp settings are set up wrong
I would verify them 1 by 1 against the setup guide from the mail provider
if they were the same I would suspect that your phone company are blocking the ports
required by smtp in which case I would take contact to them and ask why

Recently I joined bluemail to try fix this problem I can receive emails but can't send them

HI Liszt333,
Please speak with your mail provider about this issue, they can talk to you about blocked ports and site compatibility.

Your outgoing SMTP settings are wrong

I can receive email, but can't reply or compose email. Won't accept applet or HTML. ISP Cox says it's a Safari problem. My software is all up to date.

Can receive emails but can't send any

Can receive messages but can't send any. What setting am I missing?

I had this same problem with my zoho mail account. It started when I changed my email password on the computer....Long story short I have been going crazy for a few days. I could receive mail, but couldn't send anything from that account! (Fortunately I have two other accounts which are a different server - gmail.) I turned my iPad2 off then on again...I did a sync with iTunes...I deleted the account and then added it back...Still it would not send..Just receive!
I did finally get it fixed, but it took about an hour poking around and looking for help here.
There were several problems:
1. Somehow the server port numbers were incorrect. So when I added the account back in, I found that the "incoming server port" was not correct and fixed it. But I didn't see how to check the "outgoing server port." - somehow in the setting up process, that just wasn't exposed.
2. Eventually I found the "outgoing server port" here: - Go to Settings - General - Mail - Account. Then tap on the Account you need to fix. Check the information there to be sure it is correct.
THEN: tap on the white bar just below the word "Outgoing mail Server"
That takes you to "SMTP"
You will see a primary server, and "other SMTP servers"
Somehow I had 3 there that were the same account server name (zoho) ..all with the wrong port number!
But even after fixing each one, I still couldn't send mail. This led to problem number 3:
3. Apparently having 3 of the same account was a problem. After I deleted all three of the accounts, then tapped on "Add Server" and entered the information back in again. Bingo, I could send mail!!
I don't know why, but now my "Primary Server" says "Not configured - off"
And all the "Other" servers say "off" as well.
But it's working so I am going to leave it as it is.
I hope some of this is helpful.

Outgoing mail server.

Exchange Server 2007 OWA users can receive email but can't send

Hi,
I have an Exchange server 2007 in an SBS 2008 environment with POP3 connector configured and working fine , smtp send mail connector configured.
Now users can connect to OWA, receive email but cant not send.
smtp connector works fine from Outlook client. Tried to track the emails from exchange server management console and I get the
SEND DELIVER SUBMIT TRANSFER.
The emails go to the sent items folder, but it never reach the recipients.
Have been troubleshooting for a while without succes. Any help will be most appreciated.
Regards
Faisal

POP3 is a single mailbox client mail retrieval protocol, not a mail transport protocol.
Any attempt to use it as a mail transport protocol is a great big kludge.
Exchange is designed to connect to the Internet using SMTP.
No version of Exchange has a POP3 connector.
I recommend that you post this in the SBS Forum: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/smallbusinessserver/threads

Can receive email, but can't send....getting error message

I can receive email just fine...but when I try to send email I get this error message:
"This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
The connection to the server "smtp.mac.com" on port 25 timed out."
Just started happening a few days ago. Worked fine before then. Any ideas? Reboot / reconnect to isp doesn't help. thanks!

Sounds like your ISP made a recent change regarding the use of an SMTP server that is outside of their network.
Are you also accessing an email account and SMTP server that is provided by your ISP used for connecting to the internet with the Mail.app and if so, are you able to send messages with this account and SMTP server?
If yes to both, try this first.
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 for the .Mac SMTP server.
Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
If this doesn't work and you are accessing an email account and SMTP server provided by your ISP with the Mail.app and if not, add your ISP's SMTP server to the Mail.app as an available SMTP server to choose from and select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send messages with your .Mac account.

TS3899 Can receive emails but can't send them

Hello ~I can receive emails on my phone but am unable to send any out. Any ideas on why this happening? I have contacted our email provider and everything is good on their end. Thank you in advance!

If you think there is something wrong with the phone, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar to get it checked. I'm just telling you what I know about mail and how it works. Does GoDaddy tell you that you have a POP account? Again, the error that you are seeing is that the server is rejecting the settings you have for the outgoing mail SMTP server. Believe me, I would have changed email providers a lot quicker than 2 years if I could not send mail. Something in your SMTP setting is wrong. Did you verify that the username and password are in every section, even where the phone reports optional? That is one of the things mentioned in the support page. The handling of mail is in two pieces. There is the incoming server, which is how you receive mail. That is completely separate from the SMTP server which is how you send mail. The two function separately, and you can receive mail and not be able to send and vice versa. It all has to do with settings.
No matter what you paid for the phone the error isn't coming from the phone, unless you do not have a setting right. I would be frustrated as well, but it has to do with your email provider.They should be able to see how your email client is pinging the email server and tell you where the error is.
I'll ask this question again, do you have another email account on the phone? I'm trying to understand if you have another SMTP server on the device for a different provider.
