Problem sending mail from iPhone

Hello
I have a problem sending mails from a Horde account in iPhone 5S. I guess the problem is about configuring the outgoing mail server, but I tried several things and nothing seams to work. The message I get is :
"Can't send mail. No password provided for account x
Please go to Mail account settings and enter a password"
Here goes the detailed configuration of the SMTP:
SMTP server: mail.account.pt
User name and Password: xxxxxx
SSL: OFF
Authentication: Password
Server port:587
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for your help!
Best regards,
Pedro

After talking with my e-mail service provider I understood some more configurations, which might help you to help me:
SMTP Settings:
Authentication method: encrypted password
Connection Security: STARTTLS
How can I copy these settings into my iPhone 5S? In Authetication there's only the following options:
Password, MD5 challenge-response, HTTP MD5 Digest and NTLM...
Thank you!
Best regards,
Pedro Santos

Has anyone an Intermittent Problem sending mail from Mac OS X (10.6.8)?

I have a Mac mini operating on Mac OS X(10.6.8) Snow Leopard. In the last couple of weeks I have been having intermittent problems sending mail from Mac MAIL, especially if I hit the reply button. It whirls around for ever and then tells me to 'Try Later' or 'Try Again'. When I shut down my computer and open up mail again, I hear the mail whizzing off. I have just tried it now and it went in the time that it has taken me to compose this email. But sometimes the mail doesn't go at all. Could it me because I have too many messages in my inbox and sent boxes (around 1000 in each)? I read somewhere that you should delete Mail in library/pref/com.apple.mail.plst and reinstal it. But I'm frightened to do this in case I can't re-instal it as I don't know how to.

Any ideas?

Have problems sending mail from a secure wireless connection. but ok from starbucks

I have several clients here at my marina all using different email providers and they all seem to have problems sending out mail from my secure wireless. They can recieve mail no problem. Now here is where it get weird. I added my gmail account to one of the problem iphones and same thing was happening, when i go to send out an email from my account on their phone it gets stuck trying to send mail. I compaired server setting on my phone to his and everything was that same, even turned off his server from fairpoint(the email he uses) and kept my gmail one and still couldnt send mail from his phone but worked fine on mine. Apple set up this individuals iphone/ipad so it make me think they did something when he had the accounts added. Any thoughts?

Exchange Mail Footer and Disclaimer when sending mail from iPhone

Hi All,
We have a corporate mail footer configured in our Exchange server. It is designed in html and including images. It works fine when i send mail from Outlook or OWA but when i send an email from my iOS devices, our corporate mail footer is shown as plain text in recipient's mailbox.
Briefly, i send email from outlook to you and you see my email and footer message normal. But when i send email from iphone to you, you see my footer as plain text so you can't see our images.
I don't know if it has a solution or not but i think i can find anyone encountered this problem before.
Thanks

I, too, was having the same problem of blacking out and returning to home each time I sent an email with Edge. I put the phone to sleep, did a hard reset and re-added my account several times. Each time I came back to mail the message was waiting to be sent again. I finally checked my sent mail and it showed up as being sent 22 times. Apparently you should check the sent folder to make sure if it went through or not before trying again.

Problem sending mail from desktop

Hi
I am currently not able to send mail from my desktop. Works fine via web though. The message I get after a period of Mail trying to send message is the following
"The connection to the server 'smtp.mac.com' on port 25 timed out"
If I then run Connection Doctor, the further information I receive is
"Could not connect to this SMTP server. Check your network connection and and that you entered the correct information in the Account preferences".
Any help most welcome.
Thanks

J - Let me describe the issue I had before describing my work-around:
I started getting the message "Could not connect to this SMTP server" only after the upgrade from Tiger to Leopard, and then only when I was trying to send attachments larger than about 50KB. I'm in a rural area, and only have dial-up. I was able to send text messages, and could receive emails with text and attachments, regardless of size.
I believe that it is a Leopard issue in my case. Perhaps not in yours. Certainly you'll want to verify that something hasn't changed in your outgoing SMTP server settings....maybe contact your ISP to verify that they haven't made any changes.
However, if your problem does seem similar to mine, and if you're about to pull your hair out, like I was, you may wish to try what I've done to address this problem:
I have found two work-arounds...both are cumbersome, and I don't believe either is acceptable, but they do work for me. 1) Send mail from your ISP's webmail facility (or gmail, for example) or, 2) I have made a new partition on my disk on which I (re)installed Tiger. (I didn't have the "Could not connect..." issue with Tiger) I can drag attachments or other info into the Tiger partition from my Leopard disk, then restart in the Tiger disk. From Tiger, I can compose and send email from Tiger's Mail app. Good luck! Bill

Problem sending mail from OUTLOOK

Hi !
I use the following code to send mails from outlook:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"cmd.exe","/c", "start","mailto:[email protected]?body=test"});
and it works, but my problem is that if I add any other attribute like cc,subject only the first one it's done, I mean, If I do:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"cmd.exe","/c", "start","mailto:[email protected]?subject=subject_test&body=test"});
subject will appear properly but body will be empty.
Where is the problem??
Thanks!!

Okay, I was mistaken, I thought about this thread. Might still be helpful to you, especially the JDIC reference:

Problem sending mail from within C#

Sorry, I am posting this question for the second time !!!!
I have constructed a snippet that sends mail from within C#.In My script, there are will be several receivers of my mail. The script will read from a file, mail addresses and send mail to each individual contained in the file. As test I run the script with
two mail addresses in the file,one my own and the second with outlook mail. However, the result is I get the mail but the second receiver never gets it.
What is the problem ????

Sending mail from iphone 3gs

I have connected gmail & Hotmail account to my phone. But I can only dowload messages. I cannot see any link or Compose button on my accont. Please advice me how to send mails from these accounts.

I have experienced the same problems. I could receive but not send email through a third party email. Our ISP is BT and it would appear even though they wont admit it that they have changed some peoples settings.
I spoke with my email provider 123-reg and they asked me to check my ISP and then check the SPAMHAUS and our ISP has been Blocklisted. I called BT and they wouldnt answer why this had happened.
To cut a long story short I have had to pay BT £30 (not happy) to resolve the problem. They set my SMTP details as mail.btinternet.com and i had to authenticate this by logging into a BT/Yahoo email account that we never use., go to options then mail options then mail accounts and add details for the account your having problems with. You should then receive an email link on your third party email address.
I have actually complained to OFCOM about this as I dont believe that I should have to pay to rectify a problem that I havent caused. All BT would say is that they fixed the problem and I have to pay the £30. they wouldnt answer why I couldnt send emails prior to this fix. I asked why I now have to have the SMTP as mail.btinternet.com and again they couldnt answer this.
I hope this helps

TS3899 Problem with sending mail from iPhone

I have three mail accounts (Exchange, POP, IMAP) on my iPhone 4 with iOS 7.0.4. All works fine for receiving mails, but sending does not work from any of them. I write mail, tap send and it seems to go (with the sound) but never reach the reciever.
I have the exact same account setup on the family iPad and there sending mails works fine.
Any suggestions /solutions ?

Sorry to intrude, but figured I'd ask. I'm having the same issue (emails I reply to and send via my phone disappear entirely -- no evidence on my comp either -- and I'm never sure if the intended recipient ever received them), but in trying to fix this issue, I discovered I'm actually missing the "Sent Mailbox" option entirely. It's not under Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Gmail > Account > Advanced > Mailbox Behaviors" -- only Drafts, Deleted and Archive are. Any idea where it is? How to get it back (assumign it was ever there to begin with)?
I have an iPhone 4S w/ iOS 7.

I am having a similar problem with my email account. I set up the profile and receive emails fine on the iPhone but can't send emails. I get message "cannot send mail" check account settings for server. looks rights
Anyone solve this problem???

Sending Mail from iPhone over SSL-encrypted connection

Hi,
when I synced my mail accounts to the iphone I had to accept the invalid certificate (it is self signed) once and that made imap work.
When I tried to send a mail over an encrypted connection to the smtp server, using the same certificate, it never asked me anything but refuses to send out the mail. It just stays in the outbox.
On server side I see in the logs:
lost connection after STARTTLS from <My Iphones Ip>
Is it possible to send mail using self signed certs with the iPhone these days. Or do I have to wait (or get an signed cert). Is there something like keychain management on the phone?
Thank you in advance.

Hi!
I am suffering from the same problem. Did you found a solution already?

Anyone else having a problem sending mail from their AOL account?

Everytime I try and send an email from my Iphone it says my aol password is wrong. anyone else having this problem?

YES, there are actually several posts about this problem today. It seems that most of use are able to receive mail, and I was able to send mail until about 3 this afternoon. AT&T reset my network settings, but that did not help. I called AOL, but since I use their email for free and am not a paying customer, I couldn not get any help. But I thnk it might be an AOL issue. I am able to log into my AOL email on my desktop,so it's definitly a correct user name and password.

Exchange Mail will not Send mail from Iphone when Desktop computer Shutdown

A client of mine has an Iphone that I have setup to connect to his Microsoft Exchange 2003 Server using Activesync. Everything works fine and dandy until he shutdown his desktop in his office. Than he is no longer able to send any mail from his Iphone but is able to receive it no problem. Anyone have any insight on this problem?

Your problem is with Cox and Cox not having an authenticated SMTP server.
Not many ISPs provide an authenticated SMTP server and I'm not sure why - especially with laptops and devices such as the iPhone so popular.
I'm a Time Warner/RoadRunner customer for cable and internet access and I quit using my RR email account several years ago for this very reason. I switched to using my .Mac account as my primary personal email account which has an authenticated SMTP server. I'm able to send messages with the account regardless the internet service provider used for internet access. My business POP account also has an authenticated SMTP server and no problems sending with this account either - via a number of different Wi-Fi connections and EDGE.
I suggest seriously considering switching to another email account. A Gmail account is free, can be accessed as a POP or IMAP account with the email client on your computer as well as with the iPhone's email client, has a good spam filter at the incoming mail server, and has an authenticated SMTP server.
If you ever move or decide to change your ISP from Cox to a different ISP, your email account and address will not need to change. You can access and send messages with a Gmail account with any ISP - the same with a .Mac account. And you'll have much more server storage space than Cox provides.
