Trouble sending email when on Wifi.

Can't send email when on Wifi, but can send when on 4G or maybe 3G - I forget. Can receive emails fine on both. To further confuse things I have three email accounts on my phone, two of them have no trouble sending or receiving when on either wifi or 4G.. I've checked and compared settings dozens of time.
I have a private hosted email account (not sure if that is the right word) But I don't have google, AOL, or something like that..
Thanks

"But wouldn't I be using the same outgoing mail server if I was wifi or 4G?"
Yes it would be the same. Maybe I'm too tired to figure this out.
The only other thing that comes to mind is that your wifi router's firewall may be blocking that port. But if that were the case, your PC or Mac wouldn't be able to send mail either.

Cant send Email when using WIFI

My primary internet connection is my G4 and a 24.4K dial up. I bought a Dual USB port iBook with 10.4.11 to take to the local library download large files I am sometimes sent.
The iBook connects normally on the WIFI, I can browse and work web sites. I can also down load and read my mail with no problems. Today was the first time I have tried to send email from the iBook on WIFI. The connection to the SMTP server failed. I got a message that said the Greeting sent by the SMTP server was not proper.
With the same iBook on my 24.4K dial up, I can send and receive email normally. I am also using Firefox and Thunderbird.
Is there something I may have missed in set up for the WIFI outgoing email.
Thank You
Paul

Bounce is when you try to send an email by connecting to their servers when not connected to their network. Many ISPs do not allow you to send unless you are connected to their network directly. That sounds like what is happening here, using the webmail is a good workaround for that.
PS, sorry for the delay on the reply, moving is NO fun! Glad to see you found a way around!

It's happening again...trouble sending email when using 3G

I had this problem in the past...probably over a year ago and it seemed to resolve itself on its own. Cox is my isp so I'm sure that has something to do with it.
when trying to send email over wifi from home, it's great. But switching to 3G, out of the house, I seem to have problems. I get the message "The sender address is not valid". Now the weird part is if I go into settings and turn on SSL, it MIGHT send after that...but it doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes, I'll turn SSL on...then go back and turn it off again and mail will send. Then sometimes, neither works. Is this a known issue?
I recently upgraded to 3.0 on a 3G. That's when the problem came back.

Hi,
my problem seems to be solved very easy. It seems, that Aplle switch off the servers on mac.com (wich was used for me.com), without any annocment :-))) But MobileMe configuration still was the same like at the beginning and it use mac.com servers
I deleted MobileMe account on my iPhone and after thet add once again.

Why do I have trouble sending emails when I have connected to a new wifi outside of my home or office?

.?..

Thank you for your quick reply. I will check with my provider (telus) in Canada. The error to recollection is "cannot send mail". My two ho e wifi accounts are also Telus accounts so I think you are on to something.
I have traveled to Mexico and assumed that the country was at fault bt now I am somewhere else in Canada and the wifi is Bell and I am having the same trouble

HT4979 why can I not send email when away from my home wifi? Am able to receive messages OK, and outgoing mailserver is correct?

Why am I unable to send email when away from my home wifi ? I am able to receive mail OK, and have double- checked the outgoing server which is correct. This problem is consistent with my Macbook Pro, iPhone, and iPad2.
Attempts to send messages results in them sitting in the Outbox and never- ending 'sending message' displayed.
I am able to send using my me.com server.
Home service provider is Cogeco.
Any help would be appreciated.

My iPhone will not send emails when away from my home wifi

my iphone will not send emails when away from home wifi any advice

Hey craggee,
Thanks for the question. This is usually do to a limitation by your ISP/email provider:
If you are only able to use your email account while connected to your home network, this may be a limitation put in place by your email service provider. For further support, please contact your email service provider directly.

Cannot send email when clicking lonk on web page

I cannot send email when clicking link on web page.
When I would click the link to send via email I was being directed to hotmail to open new account.
Today the tech tried to assist me and completely messed up my email capabilities by setting up
windows live account.
I am thoroughly disgusted with FIOS internet services..Every time I've called them in the past month problem has been with someone else whose portal services they are using.
I cannot send emails because all my contact information cannot be moved.
I'm paying for FIOS internet service that is almost non existent.
THe VZ in home agent doesn't work nor does the FIOS information site.
My next move is to get rid of FIOS.
They create more problems then they solve with me.

If I understand your problem correctly, you are having trouble when clicking on a MailTo link on any webpage? What loads when you click this type of link is a setting in your browser. If you tell us what browser you are using, we can try to direct you to the setting.

TS3276 Trouble Sending Email Through Mail

I'm havng trouble sending email through Mail on MacBook Pro. I'm using Lion and everything is up to date. I receive email just fine, but when I go to reply the little wheel thingy just spins and spins, and eventually my emails get sent to the Out box and are never sent. It's an AT&T email account that I'm using. If I go through Yahoo, I can send the emails just fine, but I'd much rather use Mail. Any ideas on what to do? This just started.

You have a setting wrong OR. I also use ATT/Yahoo mail for some of my email accounts and earlier this morning the ATT/Yahoo email system was down.
If that is not the problem, ATT/Yahoo system down, then it is simply you do not have the SMTP settings correct.
The server address is smtp.att.yahoo.com and you must have your complete email address, [email protected]/net where attdomian is bellsouth/att/southwest(not sure if that is one of them)/whatever DOT com or net for your domain. It has to included what comes after the @ sign. Some email programs strip what comes after the @ sign out of your logon info. And of course you must have the correct password entered.

TS2621 why may I send email when wi-fi is enabled, but not when it is disabled?

iphone 4s with verizon will send email via wi-fi but not 3G. Are there any ideas why?

Depends on the email account. If it is from your Internet provider they may only allow use of their SMTP server for sending emails when on their network. To send emails when not on their network (i.e. when using Cellular data) it would require using a different SMTP server.
