Sending mail from apps leave unsent mail in outbox (iOS4)

Since upgrading to iOS4, sending mail from an application (ie Messages, Album, etc) leaves the mail unsent but in my outbox.
This is silly Apple, if I am creating an email from another app and I click "Send", I intend for the message to be sent.
At least change the button text to read "Move to Outbox" if that is the action that is performed.
I look forward to this annoying bug being removed from the next release of iOS4.

I had this problem and I'm not sure if it was caused by iOS4 or by adding an extra gmail account to sync notes, which support was added for in iOS4. I already had an activesync exchange account to connect to gmail so I could also sync my google calendar, but this didn't support syncing notes, so I added another email account to only sync notes. Once I removed this account, emails seem to send properly.
It appears the solution is to only have one email account.

  • Why my iPhone 4 wont send SMS from apps

    i installed "Faces Visual Photo Dialer" app (tried other apps) and when i am sending txt messages, i still have to go into  the original messages and send it from there.
    why cant it send the SMS directly, as it should.
    thanx

    Then ask them too. It sounds like the Messages app is working fine. I'm not ever sure 3rd party apps should be able to interact with it in the way you expect. If the developer(s) say it should, then contact them.

    Hi selenafromshenzhen,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know it can be frustrating when you cannot download applications from the App Store. There are a couple of different troubleshooting steps I would recommend. I would suggest using the first article attached to ensure the date and time are correct on your device.
    iOS: Troubleshooting issues with date and time - Apple Support
    Once you have verified the date and time are correct, if the issue still continues I suggest resetting your network settings. This will erase your Wi-Fi network preferences and Bluetooth connections. Be sure you know your Wi-Fi password before you reset the network settings because you will need to enter it again to set up Wi-Fi on your device.
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections - Apple Support
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
    previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    recently used Bluetooth accessories
    VPN and APN settings

  • Windows Phone and Windows 8 Mail App not sending email from Reply/Forward

    I have recently upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1. After a successful upgrade I configured the Windows 8 Mail app to also sync with Exchange (2010 in house server). On my Windows Phone (Nokia Lumia 800) I have the same account configured.
    This resulted in the problem that the Mail App and the phone do not want to send any emails that have been created by reply or forward.
    The phone gives the following error:
    "We weren't able to send this message, so we've put it in your Drafts folder. Before you try sending it again, you can check to see if the address is correct and that no attachments are too large."
    The Mail App give the following error:
    "There's a problem with sending messages from [email protected] at the moment. Check with your provider for more info."
    If I create a new email there is no problem.
    I have searched all over the internet for a solution to this problem, but could not find somebody with exactly the same problem.

    I have exactly the same problem, but unfortunately no solution either... I'll be watching this thread, or post a solution if I find one...

  • Cannot send Emails from AOL (Mail App) Only Recieve

    For some time now i cannot seem to send emails from my AOL on the app (Mac Mail). I can receive ok, but not send. It remains in my outbox then a message appears:
    Cannot send message using the server AOL
    This operation couldn't be completed (MCMaiErrorDomain error 1030)
    I then run the Connection Doctor:
    I get a Green light for Incoming mail (AOL IMAP)
    I get a Red light for outgoing (AOL SMTP)
    The message i get is:
    'Trying to log in to this AOL SMTP account failed. Verify that the username and password are correct'
    I have tried all the trouble shooting regarding checking the passwords, changing the passwords. Uninstalled and reinstalled. I can log on via the web ok and send and receive  . I believe it happened when i updated the computer some time back because my Macbook does the same now as well as this iMac.
    In the Outgoing Mail Server SMTP it reads: AOL (Offline)
    In the drop down i goto edit server and this is what is showing:
    Description    Server Name     In Use By Account
    AOL                 smtp.aol.com      AOL
    In the Advanced section i have Port: 587
    Box checked for 'SSL'
    Box checked for 'Automatically detect and maintain account settings'
    Box unchecked for 'Allow insecure authentication'
    Any help would be much appreciated as this is becoming extremely frustrating

  • Can no longer send mail from other apps

    Problem:
    If I go into any app (other than Mail) and try to send a message (via email) and I either get nothing or some apps will say that "Mail needs to be configured in order to do this."  After doing a restore on my iPod touch (4th Gen., running the latest iOS5) I had only configured a few accounts under "Mail, Contacts, Calenddars", and *was* able to send mail from other apps just fine.  Now that I have 13 accounts I cannot; not only is Mail configured and working fine (by itself,) but I now only have one account with "Mail" activated, and it is indeed set as the "default account" in Settings anyhow.  This is frustrating since some apps depend on email to let me export its data but is also a nuisance since it makes it more difficult for me to share content with others.
    Has anyone encountered this bug and/or have a tip?

    It is possible the Evil Starbucks empire has blocked SMTP sending as an antispam measure. You would need to log in to your email server using the smtpauth protocol. For example, Earthlink has an smtpauth.earthlink.net server for secure sending, which I was able to use sending from any public AP. Possibly T-Mobile has a similar authorized server.
    But nowadays I just use Gmail, they make it easy and reliable to send from anywhere because they use a custom smtp port. Yeah, Gmail solved a multitude of problems with mobile sending.

    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.

  • Problem assigning an account for sending mail from external mail app

    But there is a (high) possibility that Gmail's server requires authentication (or certification) to connect to it.
    I wonder if they're simply silently dropping emails in certain cases. I forgot earlier that I have a Gmail account. If I send an email from the command line on my home computer, which is on Comcast, the mail log shows that I successfully connect to Gmail, the message is sent and accepted by Gmail, but the email never arrives in my inbox. I've tried several times with the same result.
    However, emails from a web server from work get through to Gmail without a problem. So I'd bet it's a case of them not delivering mail from Comcast IP addresses.
    For grins, I also tried sending to my Yahoo email account from my home computer and their server at least refuses the connection and I get an error message stating that it's because it's a residential IP address.
    In this case you need an SMTP client (=a software which directly sends the mail to the Gmail server) which supports authentication.
    I think this might also be possible with Postfix by editing the configuration files. I know I had to set up authentication to send emails to my work address directly from my home computers, but I haven't been able to get the same thing to work with Gmail yet. If I get a chance, I'll look into it again later tonight.

  • Mail Security certificate issue and cannot send email from mail app on surface 2

    well im have the same issue like others and coincidently we all started to have this issue just recently like few days ago. Please help us out as on the surface 2 mail app my Hotmail account ( The main account )
    cannot send mails and on the account setting it says there is a problem with the server security certificate. So how to fix it ???

    Does this issue only happen with Hotmail account? Have you tested the account in other mail programs or send a email via web mail in a browser? What is the result if we delete the account then recreate the account?

  • Can't send email from any account in Mail app

    Suddenly, a couple of days ago, Mail started refusing to send mail in my .Mac account. I changed nothing in terms of settings and the way I do stuff. Receiving has been unaffected.
    I'm at a loss to think what it could be... any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Sure your ISP provides some POP and/or IMAP accounts with access to an SMTP server as part of the service. Have you tried sending with that?
    In an attempt to fight spam, many ISPs restrict the ability to send using an outgoing (SMTP) server not owned by them, usually by blocking port 25 for all traffic outside their own network, which means you cannot send with an SMTP server not owned by them if configured to use that port number.
    Something that often works is changing the outgoing server port to 587 (or whatever alternate port number the outgoing server listens to) instead of 25 and using some form of authentication in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server > Server Settings, but two conditions must be satisfied for this change to work: (1) the ISP must not block that port as well AND (2) the outgoing server in question must listen to that port and accept a form of authentication not based on the IP address you’re connecting from.
    Independent mail service providers not tied to a particular ISP, such as .Mac and Gmail, do allow authenticated SMTP access on port 587, which is the reason changing the outgoing server port number solves the problem for them if the ISP doesn’t block that port as well:

  • Can not send email from Mac, iPhone, or iPad using mail using iCloud.

    I can send email from the icloud web page but I get error messages that the icloud outgoing server is not recongized when I send email from my iphone, ipad and Mac mail.  I can receive icloud email okay on all devices.  I have manully setup a icloud server per instructions on icloud support page for mail's outgoing server name.  It still is not recongized.

    I found a work around that works.   Got to Settings...Icloud....account......advanced....outgoing mail server.....
    Add an "other" server.
    Host Name p01-smtp.mail.me.com
    Put in your me.com email address as username and your Apple ID password
    SSL is on
    Authentication is password
    Server port 587
    This worked for me.....I will use this until the bug is fixed.     Don't make this server your primary.   Leave it in "on" status in the other category.
    Good luck
