Texting -- can receive but can't send. Want to avoid a hard reset. Can I?

Hello,
The subject line is pretty much the whole story with my Sprint Treo 800w -- never had a problem before two days ago. Can receive all texts, but cannot send. No green arrow, just gray. Tried the update with ##3282# but doesn't help. Sprint recommends a hard reset, but cannot guarantee that will fix the problem. Ugh.
I could understand if all texting went down, but why only "half"?
Thank you.
Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)

try powering it off for a min and then power back on and see if it works. If not take a look here

Why would I be receiving texts on iPad,but now cannot send response from the iPad?

Wondering why I am receiving texts on iPad, but now cannot send response from it.

Have you tried resetting your iPad? Press on the Home and Power buttons and hold both down until the Silver Apple appears. Once the Home screen displays, try messaging again.

Perhaps you need to recheck your settings to make sure they're configured correctly. This site show the proceedure quite clearly (with screen pics) http://www.cit.cornell.edu/helpdesk/mac/email/osxmailapp.html

Will receive, but won't send pics...

Hi everyone! I'm hoing someone can help me with this issue cause it is infuriating! I can receive MMS pic messages, but I cannot send them... whether I take the pic myself and try to send it or whether I receive a pic and try to forward it, it will not send either way! I've had the problem of not being able to send or receive MMS messages in the past, and I took out my battery without shutting my phone off and that seemed to do the trick, but I tried that this time and it didn't work! I'm getting extremly frustrated so if anyone has any ideas on how I can fix this I'd be so greatful to hear your input! Thanks in advance for your help! -Gina

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Well the battery pull is always a good first step.!
Are you able to tell what size message is guaranteed to fail, or is it random?
View the size of an MMS message before sending it
1. In an MMS message, press the Menu key.
2. Click Options.
The Estimated Size field displays the size of the MMS message

Make sure you have set your camera options so you can reduce the size of the picture.
I would also make sure that you resend your service books.

HELP! Mail receives but will not send

Mail will receive but it will not send.
When I try to send I get the following pull down window.
"The sender address (sender name)@cox.net was rejected by the server smtp.west.cox.net"
Anyone have an idea why this is happening?
Thanks

I have had this problem intermittently with my ISP (SBC).
Evidently at some point they upgraded security at their server so that the server rejects email addresses that it thinks are inauthentic to prevent Spammers from using these addresses -- all of my .mac email addresses were being rejected because SBC servers thought a SPAMMER was "impersonating" my computer to get through their server. I am sorry I can't explain this better.
It took quite a few phone calls to clear it up and I also had to move up the technical support food chain. Request a MAC technician and then keep requesting that person's supervisor.
All of my .mac email addresses had to be validated on their servers.

Able to receive but not to send emails

Purchased macbook pro, ipad & iphone at xmas ... experiencing ame problem with all of them.
I can received emails okay via mobile me, yahoo, gmail but 90+% of emails I send are not received by recipient and I get bounce back SMTP error messages. (I did manage to send emails to a couple of individuals who have AOL and BT internet accounts but others failed).
Have contacted Apple Support but so far no solution found by them .... I have seen numerous threads on internet with others who appear to have same issue but not sure if there are any fixes. The Apple support person indicated that many of the internet service providers seemed to be blocking the messages from getting through ... I have also read that this may be as a result of going through an intermediate (i.e. Apple Mail) ... although even when I try the old approach of sending direct from yahoo and gmail websites ... these are now failing as well.
I only started experiencing these problems after changing to apple products in recent weeks ... HELP!!

I suddenly had the same issue Saturday: my gmail was receiving but not sending. This was true whether via WiFi or 3G.
I troubleshot it with Apple. It happened whether my gmail account was set up as "gmail" in iPhone mail setup, or whether (as I had always had it) set up using Exchange (even though I don't connect through an Exchange server). We reset the network settings, that did not help. Then, we set up Apple Support's dummy Yahoo account. That worked fine. Then we used their dummy gmail account. That worked fine. So it seemed to be something at the level of my particular account.
I ran out of time to troubleshoot, and now, strangely, today it is working fine again. I am guessing something on the Google end but who knows. Or maybe some NSA program.

IPhone email (one acct dead, other receives but won't send)

I usually use Entourage, so I set up email in Mac Mail since that's the program iPhone reads from, correct? I have two email addresses, both with same provider (our own website via Hostway) and I receive and send both accounts fine in MacMail. On the iPhone however, I'm getting email for only one of the two accounts. And for that one that i can receive email from, I can't send to.
I am used to the SMTP settings, but if I change it on the phone won't it just override it the next time it syncs with MacMail, which works fine?
I've tried to look through other threads but I didn't see anything for this specific problem.
thanks

The iPhone only reads settings from mail.app if that option is checked in iTunes under the info tab when the iPhone is connected. You can set up the email on the phone independent of what is on your computer. Are these pop accounts, and what type of error do you receive for the account that can't receive email? And for the account that can't send, what errors are you receiving? A common problem is that the outgoing mail server for most ISPs can only be used when on that ISPs network without authentication. If your ISPs smtp server does not allow authentication from other networks, you'll have to use another smtp server for the outgoing email.
In my case, my cable internet provider's email is received fine, but I cannot send email from that account using their smtp server (either on the phone or my MBP). So I have that account set to use a gmail smtp server instead so it can send email from any network.

Apple mail receives, but won't send

This is my last resort. I've double-checked with my provider and all is ok on their end. I have deleted settings and set them up as per their recommendations several times to no avail. I can receive emails, but will not send and consistently get warnings about various things such as the password is invalid, there's an invalid certificate or just that it can't connect. The strange thing is, it all works fine on both my iPad and iPhone.
I've tried several searches on the community forum and noticed several problems that were similar. I hope someone has an answer that relates to this problem in regard to Yosemite.
Thanks (fingers crossed).

TS3276 My Mac is able to receive but not to send email

Anyone please help. My Mac is able to receive but not to sen emails. I have tried backing up my emails, deleting my account on outlook and creating a new one, but, I continue having the same problem.

What were the results of taking the pertinent steps in the support article?

User can receive but unable to send

We have Data Sync 1.2.5 Build 250 on a Xen VM SLES 11 SP2, connected to GW 2012 SP2 and everything is running smoothly EXCEPT for one user.
They configured their GW email account on a Droid and on an IPad.
The Data Sync server shows both devices and that they have recently sync'd.
He is able to receive emails, but when he responds to them or creates a new email, neither one will send.
So, I added his account to my iPhone, (which is already configured with my account).
After adding him, I went into his account and replicated the same issue - receiving new emails but can not send any from my iPhone in his account.
I then went into my account and I was able to send and receive on the same iPhone.
This leads me to think that something is not right with his GroupWise account.
I did run an analyze/fix on his account and I resync'd his devices in Data Sync, but that didn't resolve the issue (I know - overstating the situation, that's why I'm here!)
I saw some suggestions about running an analyze/fix on the PO and then rebuild his account, but I wanted to get other suggestions if this doesn't work!
Would deleting him from the Data Sync server, then adding him back fix it?
Other suggestions?
Thanks! (Stan)

Have you checked the logs in /var/log/datasync to see if there are any
issues there? I would expect some evidence at that level.
Does a GWCheck/Contents of the user show any issues?

The 100% means that the only messages this system has sent have been
for this user. So clearly it is trying to sync and just hasn't caught
up.

A thought is if this user has a problem or oversized message getting in
the way, hence both a GWCheck on this account, and to see how big the
big messages this user has are.
For checking that size of messages, either get a sorted search folder
on this account as per http://www.konecnyad.ca/andyk/bigmail.htm
or the least user intrusive Step3 of

I can receive emails but can't send them. Auto set up created mail account separate from account migrated from a PC. Migrated account receives but doesn't send; other account didn't work

Phoned internet provider, TPG & talked through resetting passwords then the migrated email temporarily allowed emails to send, then quit again, but still receives emails.
Why will my Mac receive emails but not send them? The mails settings for POP & SMTP are same.
Closed the original mail account on the PC but didn't help - had to reopen it to send this email.
Detail from Mail Connection Doctor on my MacBook Pro, under WROTE says:
VIDL 437,
then later quits.
Is this relevant? Does this mean anything?
I'm a bit technically challenged.Good at Adobe software but not mail, internet or hardware. Has anyone fixed a similar problem?
Theger.

Cbeyond setup, i can receive but i cannot send

i set up email accounts on my Ipad2 i receive email but cannot send.

Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

My mail will only receive but will not send

my mail will not send i get a message saying it can't send the message using server stmp......
i can receive mail though
HELP?

Ok, several servers seem to have grown more restrictive about the From-addresses they accept and about demanding passwords. There are no open servers anymore that you can use when your own doesn't work. I'm currently busy adding passwords to the servers I'm using after reading advice on these pages. I'm somewhat annoyed that no server ever told me that they wanted passwords, only sending back blunt rejection messages. But my domain server seems to work now at least, hope it lasts. It's only the last week that the server has stopped working completely, and the web hotel never sent me any message that they had started demanding a password for the outgoing server. (The incoming server of course always demanded a password.)
Another big source of annoyment is Gmail, whose outgoing server always works without asking passwords, but it automatically changes the From-address to my gmail-address. It caused me a lot of embarrassing trouble communicating with my clients recently before I discovered it through finding all their missing answers in the Gmail-folder...
