What is causing very slow outgoing mail on new iphone 5?

Hi, I just got the new iphone 5 and set up mail with the auto options that the iphone gives me. It's for Gmail and yahoo. I can receive just fine on both, but both have issues sending. It will take 5-10 mins to send an email. I've done everything I've read that is supposed to fix it... delete accounts, set up again, shut down phone, restart, etc, etc. I've scoured the interwebs and can't find a solution.
If I set up gmail through the microsoft exchange, it works, but why won't it work through the pre-set up gmail account? Any ideas? Is it something to do with the SMTP? HELP!
Thanks...

Another way to continue using assistive touch and reducing the lag completely is to go to Settings>General>Assistance>Increase contrast>On
This solved it for me but I am hoping its just a part time fix as I enjoy the translucent visuals. Increase contrast basically takes away the layering found across the OS. My lock button is broken so I am forced to use assistive touch and this is really the only thing I can do rightnow. Try it out it should work well for you if you're willing to make a small sacrifice.
However, Apple should adress this issue as the iPhone 5 should be able to handle this kind of load from the OS without any issues especially considering that the 5C, which comes preloaded with iOS7 has the same internal hardware.
Hope this helps you, for the time being until Apple, hopefully, fixes this issue.

For a MobileMe account?
If so, this is not needed. Use the MobileMe account preset and the incoming and outgoing mail servers will be set up automatically.

Contact your email service provider for that information. It's not a Firefox support issue.

I would instead say you have a problem since nearly all IPs work as advertised. IF you do have a bad phone, take it into an Apple store and get a replacement. Hope you didn't jailbreak your phone though as Apple probably will tell you, you broke it, you fix it.

What is the best way to get the new iPhone/ iPhone 5

What is the best way to get the new iPhone/ iPhone 5 when it is released. I want to get the phone as quick as possible. If i order it on The first day of pre orders will i get it on the same day as the release in stores? I'm on an unlimited data plan with AT&T. Because the new iPhone will most likely have 4 g data will I loose the unlimited plan?

Apple has not made any announcement. We are not allowed to speculate on this forum.

I plugged in the iphone 5 to PC via itunes what should i do between Set up as new iphone or Restore from this back up? i just want to transfer all my purchased apps and contacts to my new iphone? don't want to screw thing up. Please help..... thanks

Is this a new iPhone?
If so, when connecting a new iPhone to iTunes for the first time that has been used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the new iPhone, or set up the new iPhone as a new iPhone.
If you don't want to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device, select set up as a new iPhone. No existing data or settings will be erased or changed when selecting as a new iPhone. Not that difficult or difficult at all.

Have iMac with IMAP email, 3rd party. Use a rule to sort emails into various boxes. One box does not appear on Mail in new iPhone 5C. Emails sorted into that box are also missing.

In which this just gets weirder and weirder...
I logged onto iCloud.com, signed into my account and created a rule there that emails from my husband's address should be allowed into the inbox. I sent another test msg from him to me and got the New Mail notification sound, the new mail showed up but in a flash disappeared. This happened in the space of about 3 seconds.
Messages from his email address are not even showing up in the Trash folder. WTH?

Slow outgoing mail DNS question

Outgoing mail is very slow for me in Leopard 10.5.2 (about 30 seconds). Other threads here have suggested I enter my ISP's DNS server number in System Preferences/Network. But there are DNS numbers already there, automatically supplied by my ISP (Charter). When I go to Advanced options, I see 4 DNS numbers, but they are greyed out and cannot be deleted (although I can add DNS numbers).
I just want my outgoing mail to get back to it's usual fast speed, but I can't figure this one out...
Thanks for any ideas!
Bill

I am not using port 25. I have an IMAP account to my college, and under advanced mail preferences it says port 993 with SSL checked (I think this is the correct setting). My son also has an IMAP account with his school, port 143, SSL unchecked. Sending from either is very slow (30 seconds or more). My ISP is Charter (outgoing mail server is mail.charter.net).
It's a consistent problem anyway. Every message sent out for a long time now is very slow going.
Thanks for your help

Outgoing mail intermittent (new in 10.5)

For some months I have been having intermittent problems with outgoing mail on my private smtp server (the university server via VPN is fine). I get the usual 'cannot send mail using....' message, either immediately or after 20secs or so. I had originally supposed an intermittent problem at my ISP, since the issue seemed to come and go randomly, but in fact I now find that the issue ALWAYS goes away if I quit Mail and re-start (Mail, not the machine). Queued messages then go out normally. The fast fix has always been to set up the VPN and use the university server (which works fine for the same messages), but this is a bit irritating.
I cannot see this exact problem in the discussions, though others have outgoing mail problems newly in 10.5.
I have used Mail on the same servers for many years without this problem. FTR incoming mail is POP and from two different servers (and seems fine).
I note that the message is the same as that from the very annoying Mail behaviour whereby one cannot control the outgoing server directly, but have to wait for a 'fail' message and then re-select the correct server from a pop-up. Yes I have begged Apple for a fix for this silly process allowing me to directly (or via location switch) control the outgoing server instead of having Mail pointlessly attempt to contact a known-to-be-unavailable remote server! However, Mail has always done this and this new effect seems different.
All suggestions welcome! (I have tried deleting & re-creating the accounts and server entries).

I am having this same problem. That being Mail fails to pick the correct outgoing server when I am in different locations, using a different ISP. Mail goes through a long attempt to send, then gives you the message that it cannot send on server xxx, and gives you the choice to choose the one that is required from your present location. It is very annoying and time wasting! I have no problem when I am at work. If I go to my apartment where I have a different ISP (because it is my only choice), I cannot send an email without going through this hassle. When I go to my home where I have another different ISP, I have the same problem. If I am in a hotel, same problem. The problem goes away after Mail fails to send and I pick the correct outgoing server (sometimes it fails twice). However, if I quit mail and then go back to send email again, I have to go through this inconvenience again. We need the ability to choose the correct outgoing server to match the location and ISP that we are using at the time. Surely it can't be that hard to fix this.

NYC LTE very slow / not showing on Verizon iPhone 5

Hi,
I'm having lots of issues on Verizon...the main issue being that since launch, the iPhone 5 has been slow, and connection changes from LTE to 3G to edge. Some times the 3G stays active for days no matter where in NYC I go or if I reboot, turn cellular data off and on..now, I do notice that resetting a the network settings will magically bring LTE back on...keep in mind that in manhattan these speeds suck, in other boroughs the speeds are ok, 5-10 mb... I work and live around midtown so it is like still having a 3G phone. Resetting the network settings works for a day or hours, but always goes back to the same issue of no LTE and the fix is the reset.
Now, I have seen many people saying the same on Verizon forums, and some are on android. I was traveling around last week for thanksgiving and the speeds was great always on, never slow....came back to NYC and as soon as I turned on the phone at the airport the thing I get is 3G.. Anyone know what could be causing the problem? This is a new phone since I actually had apple replace it before my trip, but the same issues reemerges. I have even tried resetting everything and set the phone as a new iPhone, but it still has these issues.
At this point I don't know if this is a software bug, hardware or network issue..any help will be greatly appreciated.

Yeah it truly is mind boggling how fast this phone is. Compared it to my friends Galaxy S3 this past weekend and it left it in the dust.
Him and I are always putting our phones head to head as he prefers Samsung phones and I prefer the iPhone. Needless to say, everything looks better on the iPhone. The only edge the Samsung had was the screen size, but even that was taken with a grain of salt. Standing outside in the sun, the iPhone screen comes through a lot brighter while you have to literally strain to see what's on the S3's screen.

How to change the primary outgoing mail server in iphone

I am trying to change the primary outgoing mail server from Yahoo to another mail which is my internet provider. I do not know the steps to complete this in my iphone thanks

If you have more than one email account on your phone, you can change the default account under Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>Default Account. Note that this setting does not appear unless you have more than one account on your phone. So, you'll need to add the email account from your ISP under Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Add New Account if you have not already done so.

What is the quickest way to get a new iPhone swapped for my current iPhone?

Hello all,
I'm in search of a solution for my parents. The conundrum is this:
Parents have a pair of iPhone 4 8GB picked up for free on contract back in 2010 from Verizon Wireless.
They're interested in the new iPhone (6) and would like to get replacements for both. Issue is they don't want to pay. They want it "free" just as they did the first time.
Everyone has a decent idea about the carriers offering up to $200 for working iPhones from 2010 and later.
My parents do not want to be without their iPhones for any amount of time so they have ruled out Verizon's ship your old phone, let us confirm it's a working iPhone, and then wait for us to give you a virtual gift card for use later. Reading their small print states this could be weeks.
From what I was hearing AT&T was offering the $200 upgrade in brick & mortar stores, essentially allowing customers to walk out with a "free" iPhone 6.
My parents do not want to switch carriers.
Does the Apple community have an viable tips, suggestions, or comments regarding my parents situation? Any feedback is greatly appreciated as every option I've brainstormed with them results in a time loss.
They do not have back up phones to take the place of their current mobile devices and I don't believe they would want to issue themselves temporary throwaway phones, like a Tracphone. With that said... what do you think?

Trade-in: The trade-in value for an iPhone 4 with only 8GB will be minimal, but you may be able to get some credit through Verizon Apple. Those phones through Apple result in about $35 credit if in great working condition. AT&T is offering up to $200. I can tell you from experience you won't get $200 for an 8GB iPhone 4. We received $100 for a very good condition 4 with 16GB of RAM at AT&T.
Verizon trade-in: https://www.trade-in.vzw.com/home.php5?c=en-us
Apple trade-in: http://store.apple.com/us/iphone/reuse-and-recycling
New phone: Generally the only "free" iPhone on contract is the bottom-end one, which is the iPhone 5c at the current time. It is important to note that that phone is limited in terms of lifespan (won't likely get OS updates after next year).
That said, most US carriers are moving away from, or financially discouraging, completely subsidized phones towards monthly subsidized phones. The iPhone 6 is generally $199, iPhone 6+ is $299 on contract in the US, regardless of carrier.
You can walk out of a Verizon store (or AT&T) with a "free" iPhone 6, but you'll be paying for it monthly (~$27 for a 6, $31 for a 6+) over the two year timeframe instead. If they absolutely don't want to spend anything out of pocket but want a 6 or 6+, that's about the best they'll be able to do.

What can I do? I bought a new iPhone 6 and noticed the camera lens is cracked 4 days later?! No drops or falls.

What to do when I realize my new iPhone has two cracks in the camera lens. It does not affect picture taking but still very frustrating when this phone was just purchased and picked up less than a week ago. There has been no drops or bangs to the phone which makes me believe it had to be there when I picked it up at the Verizon store. What am I to do? I'm thinking maybe I should go with an iphone 5 if this happened so quicily with the iPhone 6. I have never ever damaged a phone from wear and tear!

Make an appointment at the genius bar.
The lens cover on the iPhone 6 rear camera is sapphire. It doesn't get any better than that. It's entirely possible there was a flaw in the crystal.
