Three email accounts.  Can't send on one of them

I have a yahoo e-mail account and two att.net e-mail accounts.  On one of the att.net e-mail accounts, it won't send.  I receive an error message saying my user name or password are invalid.  I've been working on it for a few days, deleted the account, turned the iPad off and on again.  When I use the account on my laptop, it works fine.  I've also checked to ensure the settings are the same on both accounts.  All is well there.  Any suggestions?

I am having same issues getting att.net email addresses set up on an iPad 2, running IOS5, and Apple Mail.
Following advice from this post am NOT setting up as Yahoo addresses using the wizard.  Choosing "other".  It defaults to setting it up as IMAP.  So in order to get it to go to POP settings, have been turning it to AIRPLANE mode, so that it can't automatically check the settings.  This allows you to CHOOSE POP over IMAP. (As in these posts: (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2794179?start=30&tstart=0)  and (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2445861?start=0&tstart=0)
But still have not been able to get the settings to work, even though I've simply been copying the server settings from the set up on the desktop computer (Thunderbird on Windows 7 and XP).
For incoming servers, I"ve tried:
fpostoffice.isp.att.net
ipostoffice.att.net
pop.att.yahoo.com
inbound.att.net (saw update that AT&T had updated their servers to this, but the pop.att.yahoo.net is still working on the desktops) (http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB401570&cv=801&ct=9000039&pv=1&titl e=Email+server+setti...
and always had it set to SSL and Port 995
for OUTGOING servers, I've tried:
fhostmail.isp.att.net
imailhost.att.net
smtp.att.yahoo.com
outbound.att.net (saw update that AT&T had updated their servers to this, but the pop.att.yahoo.net is still working on the desktops)
and set the OUTGOING port to 465.
And have got nothing.
AT&T's support page for setting up email on the  IPad has screenshots, but it shows the setup for a GMAIL address.  NOT the settings for ATT.NET email addresses, so has not been very helpful.
Thanks in Advance!

  • I have three email accounts on my iPhone.  one account is now constantly downloading old emails as unread.  I am know into the thousands.  How can I stop that

    I have three email accounts on my iphone.  one of the accounts is now constantly downloading old emails and marking them as unread. I can I stop this from happening?

    iPhone mirrors the content of your accounts. You can turn off that account by going to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > account > turn off mail. Then access your email account via webmail/website and delete them there. Once you turn on the account again in your iPhone it wont download them all. Otherwise to leave it downloading then mark them all read once downloaded.

  • Can reply to email but can't send new ones

  • HT1146 I have three email accounts will only let me send from one no matter what I do, changes in composing please help

    Have three mail accounts can only send from one all the time, done changes in composing still not working

    RESOLVED!!! I logged on to my Straight Talk online account, and did a Tech Chat. They immediately gave me a direct phone number and a Reference PIN number and asked me to contact their iPhone specialty support. I called (of course the gentleman's accent was very difficult for me to understand, but managed with asking continually for clarity). He walked me through several tests, setting changes and had me get on my wifi to obtain the latest APN settings. None of his efforts worked ad it was obviously NOT my Straight Talk iPhone 5, 64GB CDMA (no SIM) - it was something with their setting on their end on my account. I was placed on hold a few times and he would come back on to have me try to get on Safari and even Google... after the 3rd on-hold, he returned and asked me to try to use my data again without the wifi turned on and BINGO it worked... I still do not have my wifi turned on and I'm still receiving texts from YESTERDAY too while I was away from wifi service. IF you come across this issue - please call Straight Talk and/or log on to your Straight Talk online account and talk to an online customer service representative and get their direct line phone number for iPhone support and have your Reference PIN number available. Good Luck

  • One of my email accounts will not send email, and is not linked to data file.

    I have three email accounts set up with my Outlook 2010. All are POP3. All three accounts have been working fine, until the last day or so. One of my accounts will no longer allow me to send messages. When I go to my account settings, the two accounts that
    are working show the following:
    Selected account delivers new messages to the following locations:
    Email Address\Inbox
    in data file C:\...
    The one that doesn't work shows the following:
    Selected account delivers new messages to the following locations:
    My Name\Inbox
    The .ost data file for this email address is still in the same place, right next to the other two data files for the working accounts. For some reason, Outlook no longer has it linked to my account. How can I go about fixing this issue?
    Thanks.

    Hi Gwidion,
    Outlook 2010 and 2013 create PST per POP3 account. In simple, single PST file for single POP3 account. So, don’t be panic. Just change the location of the
    PST data file by following the given path in Outlook 2010:
    File >> Account Settings >>  Emails
    In the “Email” tab, choose the particular account which is not able to send emails and make a double click on it or click on
    “Change Folder” option. Finally, set the location of Email address.
    Hopefully it will help, otherwise simply recreate a new Outlook profile.

  • I can receive all email but can't send from certain email accounts

    Hi,
    I am having email problems. I have several email accounts. I receive email on all of them, but can't send on all of them. Not even a reply. The email accounts that work are gmail and att.net
    The accounts that don't send are:
    1 account hosted by GoDaddy, and a few accounts on my 2 domains jackskalon.com and bigjackmagic.com
    all of these accounts work fine on my laptop via outlook 2007. The place that houses my 2 domains said they don't know why I am having this problem. Apparently I am the only one?!?!
    Thanks

    Now that you mention it, I do have that problem when travelling with my laptop and iphone.
    As far as SMTP. I am not very knowlegable about how this all works. When I set up the email accounts accounts on the iphone, the message came back "Verified" as I finished configuring the accounts. Email on My laptop works fine at home, the iphone doesn't. On the road, iphone and laptop have the same problem.
    I apologize if I am missing the point of what you are asking me.
    It's frustrating.
    Thanks for the replies!

  • I have a tiscali email account set up on my iPhone it receives emails but will not send - any one had the same issue ?

    I have a tiscali email account set up on my iPhone it receives emails but will not send - any one had the same issue ?

    Of course you can't it is a generic document for use worldwide on every carrier mail service
    The link will tell you how to set up with the info you will have received from TalkTalk when they installed your broadband
    You just add that info for SMTP settings
    in iPhone
    settings>>>>mail contacts a7 calendars>>>chose relevant service (tiscali or TT which ever it is called >>>outgoing mail server
    all as decribed in the above document
    now read the doc again and follow the instructions once you have established the correct settings from your
    TT documentation

  • As of 1:00pm Thursday, 3/1/12, I am no longer receiving any email, nor can I send anything out from my account. I am OS4.1.1, hoping to upgrade next week to Leopard (because my mac is not Intel-based), but in the meantime, it's non-functional.

    Is anyone else having problems with the email? I am not receiving any emails, nor can I send anything out. Spent 30 minutes on online chat last night with someone most unhelpful, only to be told that the reason I'm not receiving anything is because my email is being forwarded to another address. I set my preferences to do that several years ago when this mac.com/me.com server began having so many issues, to ensure I was receiving email so I could check from my other address. The only comment I got was well, we no longer support 10.4.1 so there isn't anything we can do to help you. The status update says 33% of their customers are unable to migrate. So I'm pretty sure I'm not alone and that is a pretty large base of customers to no longer provide support to. Is anyone else who has not migrated to iCloud experiencing these email problems? Currently my iDisk works to transfer my larger files, but my email does not.

    Hello, here's the fix I think...
    I think they're slowly nudging people to switch, .mac & MobileMe are going away about July, may as well set it up now.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    • Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 993
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    • Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 587
    • SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password

  • I want to be able to silence two out three email accounts I have linked to my iphone4s?  I can silence all or none....please help.

    I am trying to silence two of the three email accounts I have linked to my phone and can't seem to find a way. I can silence all or none?  I would be shocked if there was no solution to this problem?

    Don't think you can, it's all or nothing with email alerts.  You can make this suggestion to Apple here:

  • Email account can send email but cannot recieve

    My new contractor email account can send email but cannot receive. GIT had identified the problem "Mail record not created in LDAP" but it has been more than a week and still no fix.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks
    James

    Hi James,
    Contractors by default are not provided email access. Your manager needs to request for a mail record from APS. If your manager had already requested for a mail record, then you need to raise a service request with helpdesk.
    Moreover you're reporting this issue in the wrong forum.
    Thanks,

  • HT201320 I am having trouble with my wife's new iPhone 5s. She can receive her telus email but can not send any email what did I do wrong in setting up her account?

    I am having trouble with my wife's new iPhone 5s. She can receive her telus email but can not send any email what did I do wrong in setting up her account on her iPhone? I tried to just copy the info from her old iPhone.

    The sending of email is accomplished via the SMTP server. Take a moment to get back into Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars and select the account. Go to the SMTP server and check to make sure that username and password are entered in all of the appropriate places. If you cannot get it to work after trying to just change those settings, remove the account from the phone and recreate it. When recreating, make sure you enter the username and password in every location, even if the phone says optional. Make sure you have the settings from either the email provider or from the other device. Make sure that SSL is on or off as necessary.

  • I have 3 mail accounts in apple mail. One of them has had the spinning ball going for several days and I cannot receive mail in this account. I can receive mail in this account on my iPad and by signing into aol on safari. It's obviously a glitch in Apple

    I have 3 mail accounts in apple mail. One of them has had the spinning ball going for several days and I cannot receive mail in this account or delete messages etc. For some  reason, I CAN send mail on Apple mail using this account, although it takes several minutes. I can receive mail in this account on my iPad and by signing into aol on safari and internet explorer on my office PC. It's obviously a glitch in Apple's Mail. I've deleted this account and reopened it in Mail on my Mac Pro with no difference. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, this E amil account is major to my business.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276
    sounds like a corrupt database or index
    the glitch is your home folder and mail folder, esp look at syncservices
    I'd post in the mail or Lion forum where you will find similar issues being discussed.

    Jailbreaking violates the Apple warranty and licensing agreement and voids ALL support from Apple.  No one on here can help you as doing so is a violation of the Terms of Use of these Communities.  If you send the iPad to Apple they will just send it back to you as they are not permitted to work on a machine that has been jailbroken.

  • All mail in my inbox has disappeared and three email accounts not showing

    After logging on normally mail came up with some message about tracking junk mail and creating a file called 'Delivered' and whether I wanted to see new features in mail.
    I am pretty certain that I did not do anything unusual when logging in.
    What has happened?
    I now have a file called 'Delivered' as well as the normal 'Sent'.
    I now have no emails in 'In' and none in 'Sent', Trash' or the new file that was created automatically 'Delivered'. But I still have some but not all emails that should be there in a file to keep mail relating to a project.
    What is also strange is that previously I had three email accounts + an '.mac' but now when I look in mail preferences accounts only the '.mac' shows up. The three others have gone!
    Anyone with any ideas? Help!

    Thanks.
    I have now tried this. Emails imported into separate file that i had created to track one of my projects but still nothing in 'In'.
    Also checking 'Preferences' the three email accounts that I had are not shown.
    There are three email account files in /Users/MyuserName/Library/Mail.
    Any other ideas.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Is there a way to change how Thunderbird checks multiple email accounts from several at once to checking them one at a time?

    There is one problem I've had that I've never seen anyone else have! I live in an area of the Philippines with very poor performing Internet service. Things are slow but, it's enough if you have patience. My freelance work requires that I have multiple email accounts. Thunderbird handles this well except when initially checking emails. Because it checks email accounts all at once, I usually get timeouts and then have to resort to checking them manually, one at a time. So, I'm wondering if the way Thunderbird checks accounts can be changed to one at a time, especially at startup? Thanks!

    Don't know any 'automatic' way - but, i have "Fetch Headers only" set on each of my 'secondary accounts'.
    With varying internet service, manual "Get Messages" is probably the "Best Practice" because you will know how good your service is before you even try.
    maybe set "Check for new messages every 'n' minutes" to different times
    (3 minutes, 6 minutes, etc.) on each 'secondary' account.
