Sometimes I can send Yahoo email, but usually not.

Hi Everyone,
I have 2 Yahoo mail accounts and I receive their emails on my iPhone almost instantly every time.
However....It is rare when I can send a Yahoo mail from either of those accounts. I almost always am using the EDGE network not WiFi.
The error I get reads something like "The connection to the server NULL failed"
Any ideas what that means?
Thanks.

I'm bumping this up as my wife is having the same problem with her Yahoo email account. She says this started after I upgraded the phone to 1.1.3 BUT it may have been doing this prior to the upgrade.
I have deleted and re-added the account to the iPhone yet she is still unable to send messages and as the post above, gets the "null" error when connecting to the send server.

Can send icloud email but not receive

I setup iCloud last night linked to my apple ID. Today I have created a new @me.com address in order to sync mail and notes.
I can send e-mail from this address, but anything that gets sent to it just bounces back, like below from outlook.
The e-mail account does not exist at the organization this message was sent to.
Is there somethign I have missed?

I have the same issue....it only affects my me.com email account that I setup to utilize iCloud. I can receive email OK but get an error when sending,,,,,"The connection to the outgoing server p07-smtp.mail.me.com failed."
I go to settings to check the smtp settings and it won't let me change them.
Any thoughts?

Can send Exchange email but cannot retrieve email iOS 7.1.2

Hi,
I'm using iPhone 5, running on iOS 7.1.2.
After I configured Exchange email server settings on the phone, there was an alert that said "Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed". The server settings are standard for all our company employees; my userID and password were correct. I could not retrieve any email, contacts or calendar items. However, I was ABLE to SEND outgoing emails including attachments.
I tried the following:
1. Reset the phone by selecting 'Erase all data and settings' and re-configured. Same issue.
2. Restored the phone by connecting the phone to computer using iTunes and re-configured. Same issue.
3. Got my service provider to reset my SIM subscriber settings at their backend server and I tried 'Reset Network Settings' on my phone and then re-configured. Same issue.
4. Borrowed my colleague's iPhone 5s and configured my userID and password, ISSUE SOLVED.
5. Borrowed another colleague's iPhone 5 and configured my userID and password, ISSUE SOLVED.
6. Tried configuring my userID and password on my iPhone 5, same issue as before: cannot retrieve mail but can send mail.
From the above steps, I believe we can rule out telco setting issue, exchange email server setting issue and my email profile setting issue. Clearly, my phone is the problem.
Any suggestions for solutions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I feel so stupid. I realized that my Outlook mail box was full and was not allowing me to send emails until I had deleted messages from my account.
It's working fine now!

See:

It appears you have a incorrect entry in the setup. Google for:

where xx is your provider.

I am having trouble downloading the new outlook mail.It returns error message about a sync services agent, database daemon etc. Also, I Can send an email but it returns with message: "message could not be sent." Any suggestions for this Apple novice?

I try and download the new Outlook update and it says I have to close sync services agent and others.I do that,or 'think' I do but it doesn't close.

PS - have found other posts indicating that clips smaller than 2s or sometimes 5s, or "short files" can cause this. Modern style editing often uses short takes ! Good grief I cannot believe Apple. Well I deleted a half a dozen short sections and can export, but now of course the video is a ruined piiece of junk and I need to re-do the whole thing, the sound etc. which is basically taking as much time as the original. And each time I re-do it I risk again this lovely error -50 and again trying to figure out what thing bugs it via trial and error instead of a REASONABLE ERROR MESSAGE POINTING TO THE CLIP IT CAN'T PROCESS. What a mess. I HATE this iMovie application - full of BUGS BUGS BUGS which Apple will not fix obviously, since I had this product for a few years and see just hundreds of hits on Google about this error with disappointed users. Such junk I cannot believe I paid money for it and Apple does not support it with fixes !!!
If anyone knows of a GOOD reasonably priced video editing program NOT from APPLE I am still looking for suggestions. I want to do more video in future, but obviously NOT with iMovie !!!

Can send individual email but can not send to group

I am setting up a new pop account using gmail on the mail program. I am able to send email to an individual or reply to an individual but I am unable to send an email to a group. I get the message that I was unable to send using my smtp.
When I use the connection doctor it says the outgoing server is connecting/working.
Any ideas or solutions?

I figured it out: gmail has a maximum number of people in a group it will send from a pop. the max is 100. if you send from their server it is 500.

I keep getting asked to answer security questions and I can't remember them. Apple says it's sending an email but haven't received one but as soon as I got on community I got an immediate email. It's driving me nuts not being able to get on iTunes.

I'm trying to get on iTunes, I know my password but don't remember the security questions. It says it will send an email but haven't received one, I know email is right I got an immediate one when I got on the community discussion. Any ideas?

Try going to id.apple.com and signing in using Manage Apple ID. Click on the Password and Security section on the left and check the space under your security questions. If you have a rescue email, then a button will be there that can be used to send a reset link to that email. It will usually have the email address blanked out except for the first letter.
The only other way to reset the questions would be to call Apple Support at 1-800- MY-APPLE and have the account security team look at your ID. They will ask you for a temporary support pin and one other piece of secure information from the account, such as your current security questions, the credit card linked to the account, a device serial number, or a verification code that they can send to your devices. The support pin can be gathered using the same id.apple.com page. It is in the bottom-left corner of Password and Security. The support pin cannot be skipped, but the second piece of information for the verification can be whatever of the options they give works best for you.
Once they have the support pin and one other piece of information to confirm your identity, they can reset your security question without needing to send you an email. Just sign out of appleid.apple.com while they send the reset, and when you sign back in the Passwords and Security section will change to ask you for new security questions and your birthdate.
Good luck!

Do you have one, two or more entries in the left colum of Mail.app for your mail server(s)? That is, do you have your Mail.app set up with either a btinternet entry, with a btyahoo entry, or both? Or more?
I'm guessing that you might have one account (btyahoo?) listed for incoming (IMAP server) mail, and with the outbound (SMTP server) mail is configured and named btinternet.
Based on what little I see posted, it looks like BT uses both btinternet and btyahoo, but I'm not exactly clear on how they have their stuff set up, and their web set gets helpful and tries to help configure my mail — I don't immediately see a single web page with the mail server set-up details. The BT email client set-up starts here.

I'll add that this can happen when snapshotting is used as a backup method. You can set max endpoints to 32 and still see the issue. Please ensure that you're backing up using the supported PowerShell commands: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh202170.aspx
and not just a snapshot of the VM. If raising max endpoints does not resolve the issue, try backing up with the management shell commands within a recurring scheduled task or try http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/Backup-script-for-Lync-2013-aacbb9b9
. Then disable the snapshot ting for your front ends, bounce them one at a time, and ensure the data exports you've made are backed up as flat files.

TS3276 I am new using a mac product,let alone one which will allow me to sync all my email addresses. Why is is I can send normal email and receive normal email but when I try to forward an email as an attachment it never goes through.?

I am new to Macbook. I have my email accounts synced; I can received and send all email, but cannot seem to forward an email or attachment, whats the problem? Connection Doc says I am all hooked up.

Change the email on the old account to another new, current email address.
An email address can only be linked to one Apple ID.
It is possible to have content from multiple Apple ID's on a single iDevice.

Can't open emails but can send emails - I use verizon

I use verizon for my emails. On my IPAD I can see my emails but when I click on then I just get that circle that goes around and it keeps doing that forever. I can sent emails. I am able to open them fine on my computer so I don't think it is verizon. I have tried turning off, different ways to get on verizon but nothing seems to that I can think of. Any suggestions?

I forget my security answers and i tried to rest them by sending an email but, i can't get the email. What should i do?

I forget my security answers and i tried to rest them by sending an email but, i can't get the email. What should i do?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
