Sending emails from ipod touch

I've never been able to send emails from the touch using the normal smtp server. Quick rundown. I have Time Warner. I use smtp-server.twcny.rr.com on my computer in the account settings, and have no problems sending emails. I use the same info on the touch, and I get the following error when I try to setup an acct:
The SMTP server "smtp-server.twcny.rr.com" does not support authentication. Please check your settings and try again. When I go into the settings on the touch, it shows "password" for authentication. theres got to be a way for me to be able to send emails via my IPT.

Hi,
Some ISPs will only allow a device to send emails from their server when its connecting to the Internet over their network.
If the iPod touch is connecting to the Internet over the cellular network, you will most likely have to enable an alternate outgoing mail server(one that can only send over the cellular network). This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1426 provides more details about enabling alternate SMTP servers.
You can avoid ISP related send mail issues by switching to another email provider, like MobileMe, Yahoo!, or Gmail.

  • Trouble sending email from iPod Touch

    I have My own Local ISP, I'm not having a problem from their end. I am having trouble sending my email from the outgoing mail server from my iPod Touch, I have it set up correctly.
    What I wanted and tried to do is sync my composed and sent emails from my iPod Touch to my computer email Program (Apple). What I did was I plugged in my iPod Touch to my computer, clicked on "Devices" in iTunes, clicked on the Info. Tab and scrolled down to "Mail Accounts" and chose the "Sync Selected mail accounts": check box, Then I chose my ISP Pop account email check box, then chose the "Advance" section and checked all the check boxes: Contacts, Calendars, mail accounts, and Bookmarks, then I clicked on the Sync Button at the bottom. After I did this I tried sending an email from my iPod Touch, the email went to the out box and not to the sent section of my iPod Touch, my iPod suddenly stopped sending email and had little trouble getting email from my computer while my iPod Touch was "checking" its "email" with its little blue wheel spinning at the bottom of the mail iPod Touch screen, My computer email program (apple) would get the little Triangle next to the inbox. I had went Back to my iTunes, iPod Touch "Devices", Info Tab, and undid what I did and re hit the Sync Button again, I then had noticed that in the "Advance section" the "Mail Accounts" check box was un high lighted, I am not able to check it if I wanted to. Now sometimes I am able to get my email from my computer, I am able to send email from my computer email program (Apple).
    Does any one have a solution and that can help solve this sticky problem? and help me refix this?
    Thanks,
    Trisha Foster.

    Without having the stuff to hand - this is what I did. You need to make sure that your password and username are left blank in the settings for out going mail on your touch. this will be changed back if you let itunes sync email addresses on your computer. I had the same problem until I read somewhere that you needed these setting left blank.

  • Cannot send email from ipod

  • All of a sudden cannot send email from my Touch

    When I try to send an email from my touch a popup appears, "Cannot Send Mail The sender address was invalid". I have not changed any settings, all was working fine earlier today.
    I do still receive email ok.
    I have an all Mac system, everything worked fine earlier. I can still send/receive email on my Mac.
    Any recommendations on what could cause this? Thanks.

    I fixed it. I read this link and it helped. It told me the settings for my Touch mail had to be the same as for my iMac mail. For some reason the SSL setting was different, which I changed and now it works again. If you have issues like this please try this link. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1426?viewlocale=en_US

  • Cannot send email from my Touch (connection to smtp server fails)

    Hello,
    I have a new iPod Touch with 1.1.4 and the January apps. I am having a problem setting the Mail application.
    I am trying to connect to the IMAP/SMTP servers at my university. I am using the exact same settings and passwords I use on my laptop, which works fine. I can receive email fine on my Touch, but every time I try to send one it fails tellings me "the connection to the outgoing server smtp.myuniversity.edu failed".
    If I on purpose write a wrong password for the outgoing mail, the error message I get is different ("check the account settings for the outgoing server smtp.myuniversity.edu").
    The university IT people confirmed my settings, and told me that there is nothing blocking any handheld device from using the server.
    Does anyone know why this would happen?
    Thanks,
    Marcelo

    Thank you very much for your responses
    1) the link to mail setup is (sorry, it's quite long)
    http://www.knowledgepak.com/kpaksonline/kpol.asp?PiAlias=kpolpi17&k2dockey=04096 3251575739@kpol17&ViewLink=true&SkipHeader=false&printformat=true
    2) I am indeed using SSL, as instructed by IT
    3) I do use port 587 instead of 25 (25 does not work either)
    Any ideas? Thanks again.

  • Can't send email on iPod Touch

    Everything works well on my new iPod except that I cannot send emails. The message is that the server won't take the address. I have resynced to no avail.

    I have now sorted this problem.
    The iPod contained email info of ISP receiving and outgoing servers that had been synced from my orig PC. When I introduced a new PC I did not tell the iPod to sync email details with the new PC and all worked OK. However it appears that in changing to update version 4 something caused this old info to become corrupted and problems arose with sending mail but there were no problems in receiving.
    I have now told my iTunes software to sync all details of email info with the new PC's details and today I have been able to send and recive emails via the 2 addresses my wife and I use.
    It seems it was a bit like the problem with photos and the need to delete the old photo cache.

  • Send email on iPod touch 4th

    Hi there!!
    Since I've updated my iPod touch to run on iOS 6 and iOS 6.0.1 thereafter, the mail app started to do problems when I am trying to send mail.
    Sometimes, it doesn't send my email at all and sometimes, it take it several minutes in order to send it. Has anyone here encountered this problem too? What should I do in order to solve this trouble?
    Thanks in advance!!
    Atar.

    I found the solution today. This worked for me, easy, peasy. Here it is for anyone with the same problem.
    On a computer (or on the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch that is used to access the
    Gmail via IMAP server), launch a web browser.
    Visit the following URL:
    https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
    Follow the simple directions.

  • Tried to send iMessage from iPod touch (5th generation) but continuously says "contact not registered with iMessage". The contact IS registered with iMessage, but won't send any messages to anyone.

    I have an iPod touch 5th generation (7.1.2) that has not been sending iMessages to other iMessage users. At first my iPod would not let me sign in to use iMessage, but I searched on different discussion boards that helped me log in. Now the trouble is not being able to send messages at all. I tried to delete the contact I was trying to message and restart the conversation board, but that didn't help at all. The contact continues to say 'xxxxxx not registered with iMessage" when, in fact, they are. I need help to resolve this issue.
    Thanks

  • Name misspelled when I send email from iPod

    New iPad user and set up my gmail act on iPad. When I send an email it misspells my forst name on the from line.  Does not happen on ,y PC.  What setting did I mess up?

    Go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then select the account on the right-hand side. If it's an IMAP account then select the Account and check your name; if it's a POP account then you'll go straight into the account's details. Touch 'Done' when you've finished doing any corrections. You may need to properly exit the Mail app in order for the change(s) to take effect.

  • Hotmail Plus why can't I send email from my Touch

    Hi all hope someone can help I have searched but don't seem to be able to find the answer so apologies in advance if this is going over old ground.
    I have a paid for Hotmail account I have set it up using the correct settings confirmed by posts here and by the Hotmail help team.
    I can receive emails no problem but I cannot send, the Hotmail team claim it is an Apple problem. Can anyone help or advise who/where it is I need to contact.
    Cheers

    If you want to be able check your hotmail without using the safari browser you can use the free web app called mail coaster www.mailcoaster.com or you can sign up for izymail which allows you to check your hotmail through a pop serveer. Izymail is free for one month and then about $20/year. I believe you will have fewer problems with izymail than your hotmail plus account.

  • I cannot send emails from my btconnect email address on my ipod touch but I can receive them?

    I cannto send emails from my btconnect email account on my ipod touch but I can receive them?!

    For IPod Touch, using WiFi, the answer is:
    BTConnect SMTP server doesn't accept password authentication.
    So, outgoing server just needs to be setup as follows:
    Host Name: smtp.btconnect.com
    User Name:
    Password:
    Use SSL: Off
    Authentication:
    Server Port: 25
    Leave username, password & authentication blank.
