Why can I not send email from my mail on my computer?

I am receiving mail into my inbox, but cannot send out?  anyone have any ideas?

FIXED!
Had the same problem. AOL had been working for months, stopped working for no reason. I checked the settings against aol's instructions and the username was wrong - aol state that the username should not have the @aol.com suffix but it did. The next problem encountered was that the iPad would not let me change the username under outgoing smtp settings. Answer is to do the following:
Go to settings -> mail ->aol account ->outgoing mail server.
Turn the primary smtp server off.
Create a new one for smtp.aol.com with the username without @aol.com at the end and your password.
The rest of the settings should populate automatically.
Good luck.

  • Why can't I send Emails from iPad apps?

    When I am using iBooks, or Evernote, or Hootsuite, or just about any application on my iPad that allows me to Email items from within the application, the following happens when I try to send an Email:
    1) I click the share button.
    2) Choose Emaill
    3) Write the Email.
    4) Click Send
    5) Hear swoosh sound and it appears the Email is sent.
    However, the Email is never actually sent.  I've tested this mutiple times to various Email addresses and it just isn't sending the Email.  The only exception is when I send Emails from within the Gmail app, in which case they send fine.
    After discovering this I took our my iPhone 5 and tried to do the same from there with the same applications.  I was able to send Emails from within the iPhone applications just fine so this problem is specific to my iPad.
    I checked my mail settings and didn't see anything out of order.  As I said, I can successfully send Email from the iPad using the Gmail app or just sending it from within a Chrome window.
    Thoughts?

    I used to be able to send e-mail from within apps on my iPad. Then all of a sudden, I was unable to do it. I changed none of my settings, and my regular e-mail works just fine.  One day I could e-mail from within apps, and then next I could not.
    When I hit the share button within an app, I then select the e-mail button. An e-mail message opens for composition. It has the subject line filled in, but that's all. It will not allow me to enter the address and it contains no message or link. It's just dead. Sometimes I wait for a while to see if anything changes, but it doesn't.

  • TS3899 Why Can't I send emails from iPad when I am overseas. I live I Australia

    I live in Australia and when I go overseas I cannot send emails from my ipad2 using wifi. Have no trouble receiving than. HELP PLEASE

    Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

  • Old but new Q: Cannot send email from Mac Mail application but computer tells me I'm online

    I know this is an "old" issue for many, but I cannot find the solution to my problem.
    A couple of months ago I moved to a new flat--suddenly I could not send emails anymore from my Mac Mail app, although I could receive them. I called Comcast, my Internet provider, who said it was my email server's problem. My email server is icloud, so I talked to a Mac tech guy who did remote desktop troubleshooting and said everything was set up correctly, etc., so I will have to talk to Comcast again. I called Comcast again and they told me again, it is not their issue.
    So this is what happens: When I try to send an email, I get the spinning circle in the mailbox bar, and then it tells me after five minutes of spinning that icloud is offline. However, when I do a further check of the diagnostics, the light is green and says that yes, in fact I am connected/online. Note: I can send and receive fine on webmail, but I do not want to keep using webmail at home. It is very inconvenient.
    I called Mac support again, and they told me I should find my solution online; otherwise, I can pay $20 to have someone remotely troubleshoot for me. Of course, I could not find the answer online. I am quite frustrated and annoyed at this point. Is it a port issue? Is it an OS issue? Mind you, I only have this problem at home, nowhere else. I take my laptop to a café, to a friend's place--I can send emails just fine. This leads me to believe that it's a Comcast issue, although they deny it.
    Any thoughts would be deeply, deeply appreciated! Thank you!!

    How about some free much-needed advice on how I can
    start receiving emails again!
    This indicates you were able to receive email with
    your Verizon account previously with the Mail.app?
    If so, try running Keychain First Aid on your login
    Keychain.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=151548
    Open Keychain Access, located in
    Applications/Utilities.
    Choose Window > Keychain First Aid.
    Select your login Keychain, enter your password,
    select Repair and then Start.
    This is Trevor from the first post and I figured it out:
    Go into mail - preferences - and delete the email account in question - the window will tell you that you'll lose all your saved mail, etc - you can save it if you like.
    Then click on yes and you create a new mail account using your same incoming/outgoing settings. And, like magic, it works!
    Try it - and if you want to save any mail before deleting your affected account, do it.
    All the best!

  • 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.

  • Why can't I send emails from my Macbook Pro. A window pops up saying this: Sending the message content to the server failed.  The server response was: An error occurred while sending this message using the SMTP server "(null)"

    This is starting to REALLY frustrate me! I used to be able to send emails with attachments perfectly fine with my email, and now all of a sudden it won't work. I work from home, and 8/10 my emails need to have images in them. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!

    Contact your internet service provider. They can run some tests to verify the cause of the problem. This sounds very much like an ISP issue.

  • Hotmail Plus why can't I send email from my Touch

    Hi all hope someone can help I have searched but don't seem to be able to find the answer so apologies in advance if this is going over old ground.
    I have a paid for Hotmail account I have set it up using the correct settings confirmed by posts here and by the Hotmail help team.
    I can receive emails no problem but I cannot send, the Hotmail team claim it is an Apple problem. Can anyone help or advise who/where it is I need to contact.
    Cheers

    If you want to be able check your hotmail without using the safari browser you can use the free web app called mail coaster www.mailcoaster.com or you can sign up for izymail which allows you to check your hotmail through a pop serveer. Izymail is free for one month and then about $20/year. I believe you will have fewer problems with izymail than your hotmail plus account.

  • Why can I not send emails?

    I can write an email, but I can't click on the send button, why is that?

    First things to double-check:  Is an outgoing mail server configured and selected in the little "From:" area near the top of your message window?  The configuration is done via Mail Preferences, Accounts.  Is a valid email address in the "To:" field?
    An easy way to see what is your configuration is to to select the mail account from the list on the left side of the mail window, then hit command-i.

  • Why can I not send emails since I updated to OS7?

    Since updating to OS7,  I can get mail,  but cannot send mail, on my iphone or ipad. 

    First, restart your router.
    If that doesn't help, try a reset on both devices.
    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • TS3899 I can not send email from my new iphone 4s.  I keep getting message 'set password for msn' acct.

    Why can't I send email from my new 4S?  Message keeps telling me--enter password in settings..
    And where do I find my 'operating system'.  (ie 5.0.1 etc)

    I have a 1st gen iPhone that I just updated the software to 2.0.2
    Now whenever I press the mail icon it goes to the mail app for about 4 seconds, does nothing, no loading of folders, old messages, nothing.
    Then it reverts back to the home screen. Tried restarting, haven't tried restoring, thought I'd look here first.
    Anyone???
