Why are my outgoing emails from my IPad rejected by my server

I Cannot send email from my IPad. I get a box saying "message in outbox. Recipient rejected by the server". I have checked settings and can send successfully to same recipients from my computer and IPhone. I've switched off and restarted IPad and just been to my computer and checked I can get on web and send message ok from there.

Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if it then works

Why are my outgoing email attachments being compressed?

How do I stop my outgoing email photo attachments from being compressed when they arrive at their destination? I send a photo at 3.0MB and the client receives a 98KB size. Is there a particular photo format that does not compress? I am usng Mountain Lion with an iMac. All photos are processed with Adobe Illustrator CS5.1 and Graphic Converter 8.5.1.
I have reviewed all system, mail and third-party preferences to make sure nothing is checked to "adjust for web", or the like. Your thoughts will be much appreciated to help solve this vexing mystery.

Be sure the Image Size pop-up at the upper right corner of the message body, after attaching a picture, is set to "Actual Size".

Why can I send email from my iPad, but my iMac which is connected to the same modem keeps telling me that it can't send the message using the same server?

I have an iPad 2, connecting via Wifi to an Actiontec Q1000 modem. The iMac (3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz RAM, running OS 10.8.2) is also hard wired to the same modem. Internet access is via CenturyLink. Main email is from Shaw cable in Calgary (Phoenix is a vacation property), not through CenturyLink.
Can receive email on the iMac, but every time I try to send, I get a pop up saying "Cannot send message using the server .......". Further prompts me to verify the address in the email, and SMTP settings in Mail preferences, or to select a different outgoing mail server. I've tried using a number of servers, always the same result.
Using same settings in both devices.

Mail is not my forte, but what I noticed was that you have Centurylink and presumably have your Mail set up with their settings? But then you mention Shaw/vacation property/etc - you can send out email only through the server that you have set up as an account using the ISP you are using. If you switch places, do you have separate accounts set up with both Centurylink and Shaw so you can switch and use whichever one you're at? A Phoenix ISP won't work with a Mail POP account unless you're in your home - Phoenix - area.
Do you have a data plan with your iPad? That would explain why that works - it'll function sort of like a cellphone - works anywhere where there are signals.

"Your email account" means to tap on the name of your email account. Whatever it is listed as in the settings.
In my mail settings, one of my email accounts is a Comcast account. I tap on the Comcast name and it brings up this window.
Then I tap on the arrow under the Outgoing mail server smtp setting to get to the next window.
In the resulting window, I then tap on the arrow next to the smtp server under the Primary Server setting.
That brings up this window in which I check to make sure that my user name and password have been entered correctly. If those items are missing, enter them in the appropriate fields and then tap done.

I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works. Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up. Try them again.
Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp. Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp. Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.
Kep trying.

I have an imap account and deleted all mail from server. Once doing this all emails from my iPad -which was on a wi-fi- where automatically deleted. Fortunately these emails are still visible on my iPhone that was without connection. If I send all these emails to my iCloud account - they will remain into my outgoing folder until I open my wi-fi- …BUT will they be sent when I open my wi-fi connection, or since they are no longer on my server… be deleted for ever!?

This is how IMAP works, if you delete from one device it will also be deleted in the other devices.
iCloud do not backup e-mails.

We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is: Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

About ~20 hours later, this ended up solving itself. We can send email using the '.icloud' email from both the iPad and iPhone. Advise would be 'wait' before you start seeking alteranatives like yahoo, hotmail, etc. This definitely is a convenient way to keep all your 'cloud' information in a centralized place, including the common email...

In which case, clearly communicating the intent would have been a better solution. The steps do apply. A more appropriate response would have been "tried that, no change".
Regardless of whether they fixed the problem or not, they do apply.
If English is not your native language, I would strongly encourage you to post in your native language going forward.
If basic troubleshooting has not resolved the issue, the next step is to take the device to Apple for evaluation.

Cannot send email from my IPad Air

I suddenly cannot send email from my IPad Air. Keep getting message that my email recipient
was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying. Don't understand what this means as I have been able to send email before.

Paula, in most cases this message appears when you are sending email from a ISP server not in the pop settings and SMTP settings in your email program.
In example if I send out email from my iPad I must be on my own isp's server to send. I have roadrunner but if I send email out using say Verizon's email server I will get a reject notice.
You did not say what email program you are using but if it is hotmail or yahoo or your isp's email in two of these email accounts there are stand alone apps which work much better than the stock email program on the phone.
If you are using road runner or another ISP email you must get the proper Pop3 (incoming) server settings and SMTP (send) settings from your ISP
You can then just go into the Settings-Mail, Contacts and Calendar section and click on the email account and change to the proper settings from your ISP.
You could delete as you were told but why bother when only the sending and receiving settings need to be entered.
If the settings are correct, on an iPhone it tests the settings. If correct send an email. If incorrect you will need the proper settings from your ISP.
It is actually very easy to do.
