Suddenly I can't send email, but I can receive it!!

I'm getting messages 'can't send email' since this morning. I'm receiving email OK. I'm with BT mail. I haven't changed any settings.
Any help greatly appreciated.

My email still keeps dropping off. It's fine for ages then suddenly get the same message 'Can't send email. Check settings'
I do a reboot on the phone and that seems to reset the connection. But why do I have to keep doing this?

My ipad can send email but I cannot receive or see incoming mail

My iPad air is was updated yesterday with iOS 8.2. Now I can send emails but I cannot receive or see any mail in my inbox. My iPhone 5S works correctly but has not been updated with 8.2.

Hi, Grandpaintraining.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing issues with mail. I would also recommend checking with your email provider for security procedures such as two-step verification as this could cause this issue.

Hello, sadly Apple pays more attention to iDevices Mail than Mail for Macs.
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.

Anyone having trouble sending email but no problem receiving?

Having trouble sending messages from mac email but no problem receiving emails? Not sure how to get it working. Called apple and they want my credit card before they help me. Did anyone else have this email problem.

With Mail running, click Window in the menu bar and select Connection Doctor. That will tell you what service is not working. If this is a gmail account, it may well be yet another problem with the gmail smtp server. It happens too often.

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.

E72 sends email, but won't receive

I posted this last week at the end of a year old post, but only received word from the original poster telling that his fix was to get an I-Phone. After many years of dealing with Nokia idiosyncrasies, several months ago, I too gave up and got an I-Phone. It is beautifully reliable. Unfortunately, my daughter's phone died, and a friend gave me a new E72 for her. It looks like I'm back to Nokia reliability. Can anyone help restore my continually fading faith in Nokia? Here's my problem:
I've set up email manually, through the set up wizard, and I'm attempting to point "Sync Email " to one the of many accounts now in my phone. The email accounts can send, but won't receive. I have gotten into a never ending loop:
The help screen says to "To start synchronising email messages between your device an the e-mail server, select options>synchronise" However, there is no "synchronise" under options.
If I go into "messaging">options>settings>email", all the emails accounts that I have created show, but if I go into "messaging">options>settings>sync email", it shows "Mailbox in Use" "None".
When I click on "none", I get the message "No Mailbox defined. Define now?
Sure, I'll try it again. I click "yes"
My old friend the email set up wizard appears. Create another account.
Goto 1
I've contacted Nokia. First, I was told to pull the battery and wait 5-10 mins. Same problem. Next, I was told to do a factory reset. Same problem. Finally, I was told that if it wasn't a tested pop3 (gmail, yahoo, etc), Nokia doesn't support it. I doesn't seem to matter that every Nokia I have had in the past work with my email server.
Has anyone found a Nokia-based solution to this problem?
Thank you for putting up with my frustration and for offering any possible solutions that you can suggest.

Hey Jason,
I have ran into this situation quite a few times in my experiences with fax issues, it very well could be the digital line itself. My last suggestions for you would be to try a power reset on the printer, and also try a filter on the fax line to see if that could help the line. If you are still having issues with sending faxes, give us a call to our technical support to see if there are any more options for you.
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
Here is an example of a filter:
Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html

IPhone 4 does not recognize my password to send email, but does to receive? How to fix?

Error message:
CANNOT SEND MAIL
The user name or password for "SMTP:[email protected]@smtpauth.earthlink.net" is incorrect.
However, I am able to receive email using that user name or password.
What is the problem..??

please don't provide any personal data like emailaddresses, as this is a public forum, accessible to anyone.
Have you tried everything here? http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899
Also: try adding a free gmail or hotmail account. If everything works in that account, I'd recommend you contact to email provider.
Good luck

Your post somehow found its way to a little-viewed forum for an obsolete Apple productivity program. I have asked the Hosts to move you to a more appropriate forum for your product.

Can send email but cannot receive on exchange account

My .mac account, gmail account, and yahoo account work flawlessly on my iphone. My work account, however, does not. My employer has his iphone working fine and my settings are the same but for some reason I can't receive email. I have no problem sending email from the account with the iphone, only receiving. Anyone have any ideas?
I have tried setting it up via the "exchange" option (entering mail servers, login, and password) and get the following:
1. Cannot connect using SSL (I proceed without it)
2. Cannot get mail. The user name or password is incorrect. IMAP support must be enabled. (which it is because my employer connects without issue).
3. I save the account despite the warnings and can send email but not receive.

I am having the same problem with both my work and Yahoo accounts. At least to the work account I am positive that the settings are the same as a co-worker using an iTouch to access his email. I have re-entered the settings a minimum of 10 times and the IT department has tried no less than 5 times. The error message remains the same. I could understand incorrectly entering the settings once or twice, but not separate people entering it 15 times. There is something else wrong with the iPhone software.

I have been having trouble getting my email on my iPad. It started when I brought it to the US on vacation (I live in London and my email provider is Virgin Media). It worked once since I returned, but that is it. I can send emails, but can't get them

Hi Kharels
Just posted this reply to 2 others with same sort of question:
I have the same issue as i have my own email address and only want to use.
There are two ways around this annoying problem. The first is to set up your own domain email account alongside your iCloud one, and when you go to send each email tap on From and you get a choice of emails addresses to reply from... ie your own domain or the iCloud one. This is tedious though.
The other is to set up your iCloud email as normal, then create a new one altogether. Choose 'Other' when creating this new account. Then put for the incoming server mail.me.com, along with your user name and password. For the outgoing server put the server you want to use - ie your own domain one. This is therefore a hybrid account and does work.
Now switch off the email for iCloud (leaving on Calendar, Address Book etc). Switch on the email for your hybrid account (which of course is iCloud incoming as well).
Providing you have directed your own domain email address to your me.com one, you will find the iPhone should behave itself and you can use the folders etc and these will synch with your Mac ok.
Hope this work for you - let us know.

Moved to a new house and now i can't send emails but i can receive them

I just moved to a new house and now i can not send emails but i can receive them...

New houses can do that.
We need more info - what email service is this issue about. Do you use several (gmail, yahoo, icloud,...) and is this issue the same for all? If you also use a computer or other device, is this issue common to them all?

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!

TS3899 I can send emails but I can't see them in sent mail

I am sending emails and they are received but I can't see them in my sent mail - I'm sure it's a settings issue but not sure how to change it?

Hi giradifco62,
I understand your iPad Air has an email account set up that is able to send email but it is not receiving incoming mail. Depending on the type of account you have, the incoming server may either be a POP or IMAP server and this is more than likely where the issue is. You did find a good article for troubleshooting Mail on the iPad.
iOS: Troubleshooting Mail
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899
If you have gone through all of these steps including deleting and re-adding the account as you say, I would verify the POP or IMAP settings with your provider and make sure they are correct. The following webpage is also a fantastic source for server information.
