Updated my phone, now e-mail will not send because server does not allow relaying

Updated iphone 3GS to iOS 5, now my company e-mail will not send "because server does not allow relaying".  I'm just an employee, not an IT type - have no idea what this means and I'm very frustrated. Also infuriated with Apple because THEIR update caused this to happen, yet I have to PAY for their support because I have an older iPhone. Someone please help.

razmee209, thanks for your reply. After signing up for the community, I saw that I wasn't the only one. However, I think I've solved it by looking over the comments in reply to others with this problem.
First, I think the iOS5 update may have made the phone default to IMAP setting. I noticed when I deleted my account and re-set it up that there is a large button at the top for either IMAP or POP. It is already defaulted to IMAP, but my account must be POP.  So this is the first thing to check when you're setting up your account.
Second, I noted some other comments about needing to supply a username and password to the outgoing server even though it says optional. I included those, but got a message that it wasn't recognized (or something like that) and did I want to continue anyway. I told it to continue. After a few seconds, it verified my account, and now everything works.
Hope this helps others having this problem.

  • Error submitting form for Distribution: "The filename you specified is not valid because it does not

    Error submitting form for Distribution:
    "The filename you specified is not valid because it does not include a .pdf extension, contains one or more invalid characters or teh path preceding it refers to a protected system location."
    Tried removing dashes from filename, shortenign filename, moving to root directory. No changes. File ends with a .pdf extension.
    This is my first attempt to distribute via acrobat.com

    I found that I got that same message using Acrobat Professional to send out a document for shared review.  I had an exclamation mark in the title of the PDF. When I took out the exclamation mark, it worked.
    So maybe try taking out anything "unusual" (parentheses, dashes, exclamation marks, etc.) in the file name and see if that helps.
    Good luck,

  • Cannot Send Mail-recipient was rejected because it does not allow relaying

    iPod 4g - Cannot Send Mail - The recipient was rejected because it does not allow relaying. Does anyone know of a fix for this problem?

    Do you have more than one mail account on the iPod?  The Mail app usually is set up to use alternate outgoing SMTP serves if the primary (the one associated with the accout you are sending from) is not available. Some providers do not allow sending mail from other the the account associated with that server.  It appears that the primary server is not responding and a secondary server is rejecting the messag.
    Try resetting the iPOd. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Do other devices send mail from that accout?

  • Cannot send mail "recipient rejected because server does not allow relaying"

    Just went to Verizon store with new Iphone4.  They tried, but didn't help.  I can receive my email, but cannot reply or compose and send msgs.  The message says, "Cannot send mail.  A copy has been place in your Outbox.  The recipient xxxxxx was regejected by the server because it does not allow relaying."  I tried several different email addresses, including my own Verizon account!

    Go into the settings for Mail, Contacts, and Calendars.
    Go to the account that's got a problem, and scroll down to "Outgoing Mail Server".
    Touch "SMTP" and make sure the primary server is set to the one you are supposed to be using for your account (you mention Verizon, so it should probably be outgoing.verizon.net).
    Make sure SSL is off and the server is "ON".
    Make sure that your username and password are for your e-mail account are correct.
    Click "Done".
    I'm guessing that at least one of those things I mentioned are not set properly. The error is telling you "yeah, I'm a mail server, but I don't relay mail for just anyone, I need to know who you are".

  • HT2500 Adding me mobileme account to mail will not work because it does not accept the password but works on iphone and ipad?

    I am attempting to add my mobile me account to mail on my iMac. The first step is to give the email address and the password. For some reason it does not recognize the password. It is the some password used on iphone and ipad and logging on to me.com

    Hello,
    The problem isn't really the Password, but the default Servers if you choose MobileMe for account type.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    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
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
    Thanks to dpepper...

  • Mail IMAP from Gmail - smtp server does not work.

    I have a question about the inner-workings of Gmail IMAP as it relates to sending mail on an outgoing smtp server. When I'm at school (high school), *I can only receive mail; I cannot send it*. I talked to my computer science teacher and he said the school restricts outgoing messages because apparently people can use the school's smtp server to send spam...or something along those lines. Anyway, connecting to Gmail directly works fine, but I also had a nice setup on some shared computers for other students (who are not computer-savvy) who needed to access a single email address. Is there a way around this (albeit minor) inconvenience? Can I set up Mail preferences to use a different port or something in order to avoid the smtp restriction? Not that big of a deal, but still somewhat perturbing (and I will go to great lengths to fix it lol). Tell me if this is doable/if you need more info.
    Thanks!

  • PDF document apparently not created, because it does not appear

    I am temporarily booting up from a cloned backup of my hard drive located on an external hard drive, because my G4 Powerbook (containing my actual hard drive) is being repaired.  I use Acrobat Standard 7.0, on a Tiger operating system (Mac OS X v. 10.4.11).
    Normally, I create a PDF version of a Word document by simply printing it to PDF -- selecting “Adobe PDF 7.0” in the Print dialogue.  Briefly after hitting “print,” a PDF document named “TemporaryCustom_PS_File” appears on the desktop.  Now, however, no PDF document of any sort appears -- on the desktop or anywhere else I can detect.  (A smart search reveals no relevant document has been newly created or modified, or appropriately named, etc.)
    I am hopeful this problem will not continue when and if I am again able to use my hard drive.  But, in the meantime, how can I rectify this?

    PS: Perhaps I should add that I am printing from a CLASSIC version of Word, so the print dialogue box does not offer such things as “PDF options,” “Save as PDF,” or even “Copies & Pages.”  It is very basic -- just identifies the printer as “Adobe PDF 7.0” and lets me choose a page range.  (Only “destinations” available are “Printer” and “File.”)

  • In mail when i send email it does not show curved arrow in sent column

    Mac osx 10.7.5, 27" imac i3, 8gb 1333 mhz ddr3
    in mail when i use the reply button the curved arrow in sent column appears intermittently.
    prior to upgrading system from snow leopard (3 months ago) it worked normally.
    after installing lion it continued to work normally but now it occurs constantly.
    I have opened & quit  Mail, restarted the mac several times using both shut down & restart commands, and unplugged the power cord from the mac.

    No changes have been made and no problem with extensions has interfered with the URL appearing in Firefox before. Only with the last few new versions of Firefox has this cropped up. Also, the link opens correctly - it just doesn't display the URL in the address bar, instead it just reads (in gray) "Search or enter address." How could another extension interfere if Firefox is the sole program associated with .htm, .html files?

  • Could not send notification, device does not have a apns token

    I dont know what this means....for ipad 3 with mobile iron..

    This might help ya -> iOS: Understanding Notifications
    Troubleshooting notifications
    Push notifications require an active Wi-Fi or cellular connection. If you are not receiving notifications for a specific app, try these steps:
    1. Verify that the app supports notifications.
    2. After installing an app or restoring a backup to a different iOS device, open the app at least once to begin receiving notifications.
    3. If the app requires entering or logging in to an account, you will need to do this before receiving notifications.
    4. Check Settings > Notifications to ensure that the app is configured for notifications.
    If notifications do not appear only in the Notification Center, verify that the Notification Center setting for the app is enabled.
    5. If you are still unable to receive notifications and you are using a Wi-Fi connection, verify that the network or firewall is not blocking access to port 5223.
