When sending mail on my iphone I get the message 'The recipient was rejected by the server'

Hello - Does anyone know how I change this to stop this from happening?

Forgive the comment if it offends any poster but - this problem persists in dozens (if not more) threads and Forums and is clearly an iPhone problem. My Nokia (using a non Nokia email) and my BlackBerry (ditto) has never had this problem. Sadly, in my case, it appears to be a random rejection of emails sent via the iPhone - which is intensely frustrating as one can never be sure the email has gone - until the error message pops up again. And yes, I have done all that the threads on this Forum suggest, and yet the problem remains. I feel that Apple should get the grips with this and offer a proper fix (and set of instructions) so that it can indeed be fixed! Ho hum...

  • How come, when I add myYahoo! email account to MAIL, after verifying, I always get the "server unavailable. please try again later"

    How come, when I add myYahoo! email account to MAIL, after verifying, I always get the "server unavailable. please try again later"

    THANKS! this worked !!!
    I hit "DELETE THIS ACCOUNT" on my iphone (this is the Yahoo I tried to set up by "picking" it from the list that the iphone5 gives you) and then confirmed to delete everything.
    THEN: while in Mail (still in the Settings Section) I tapped on "ADD ACCOUNT..." but this time tapped on "OTHER" and manually put in my yahoo ID and password and I did not even have to go to the   SMTP or IMAP incomming/outgoing stuff at all. But I checked it out under the "ADVANCE" tab and it was already correct for yahoo. (ALMOST SEEMED TOO EASY)
    Went to my home screen and tapped on MAIL and my yahoo email loaded up just right!
    Now, I have no idea if I have any other issues like if I delete mail on the iphone; does it delete properly on my ipad...etc..etc. but one problem at a time is getting fixed. THANKS!

    when trying to sync my iPhone i get a message saying : iTunes can't sync apps to iPhone because the apps installed on the phone could not be determine. what is going on?

    I received the same error message after I had recently updated iTunes to 10.5.1 and I had wirelessly updated 13 apps.  I had to go into iTunes and select Apps, on the bottom right it said I needed to update 13 apps.  I updated the apps via iTunes and then synced again without an issue.

    Don't worry I've sorted it! I just had to turn off Reminders as well in iCloud. Calendar then worked fine, even when I turned Calendar and Reminders back on.

  • TS3274 Hi, have just got new iPad 3 and am having difficulty receiving FaceTime calls from husbands iPhone 4s. IPad wasn't ringing at all and the iPhone would get a message saying iPad was unavailable for FaceTime yet we were using same Internet connectio

    Hi,
    Just got the iPad 3 which is our first and we were messing around with FaceTime between this and our iPhone 4s. The problem was we can FaceTime the mobile but we kept getting a message flag that the iPad wasn't available.
    After much deliberation and googling we have managed to get the iPad to at least ring when we FaceTime it from the iPhone but the new problem is it rings for half a second giving no one a chane to answer.
    Can anyone suggest anything else?
    So far we have checked in setting that all sounds are enabled, put slide switch to mute then flicked the mute button up and down on the side of the iPad above the volume and also changed the DNS numbers on both mobile devices to ensure they sync but I am still having the same problem.
    All answers greatly appreciated

    I can not get or send mail from my iPhone, iCloud, and desktop mail.  All are the same account, password is right and working. When the problem first happened I updated to a new  password.
    The Mail and the phone are telling me ( "The iCloud IMAP server “p99-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user “k****n******2”}
    From the iCloud account i get a message saying  mail could not be loaded and the details. Which i have copyed below.

    Spent at least 40 min talking to apple support, to sort it out. luckly not at my cost. After trying lots of things and speaking to a higher grade support person I was given a temp password which did the trick. I then was able to reset that with my own password. 
    The impression i got was no one knowns  what the problem is and resetting the password at the apple end works. Not sure if you would be able to self fix.

    You need a separate email address but you've already ruled out that solution.

    Just got a new iPhone 6, selling my 5 to Amazon. Trying to follow Apple instructions to erase content before sending but 5 will not connect to iCloud so I can't proceed - when promoted to enter password I keep getting "Verification failed. There was an error connecting to iCloud". I have checked apple id/password multiple times and they are correct. Any ideas out there? Thanks in advance

    HFJ,
    every once in a while my iPhone 5 fails to recognize my Apple ID. I don't have to go all the way to Restore to Factory Settings, I just have to turn off the phone. (Hold down top button until screen asks to slide if you want to turn it off.)  Give it a few seconds, turn it on again.

    I am sorry, my english isn't very good.
    Next try :) I send a iMessage from my ipad (wifi only) to a friend and he answers but i don't receive the answer on the ipad but on the iphone instead. Both devices using the same Apple ID (Settings>Messages>Receive At, same Adress on both devices). I tought iMessages are always received on bothe devices, like the advertisment says i should be able to start a iMessage conversation on ipad and finish it on iphone because both devices receive my iMessages... Thats not like it is on my devices, most times iMessages are only received from the iphone.

    Help. My sounds are turned on and volume is up but I get no keyboard click while typing and no swoosh when sending mail.

    1. Double-click the Home button and swipe the Task Bar (at bottom) to the right. Check volume and mute settings.
    2. Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo
