Why can I receive but not send emails

Why can I receive but not send emails on my i pad?

Perhaps the outgoing mail server settings are incorrect or incomplete.
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.

With sparse information you give I would venture that you have not set up the correct Outgoing Mail Server settings in Mail>Preferences>Accounts. Contact your ISP for their set up.

Who's your provider?
I had the same problem with Optus in Australia.
It turned out to be a problem with my profile at their end. I was set to be a prepaid customer, when really I have an account. They fixed it in a few seconds by recreating my profile.

Why can I receive but not send messages through Mail?

I recently installed a wireless router (linksys). I can send mail at the local coffee shop, yet here at home I can't. I know it's something very simple, but I'm giving up...and asking for help in fear of tweaking the settings beyond my knowledge. I get a popup that tells me I can't use the listed server for outgoing mail. I have a couple choices...1) lynksys 2)stmp.mac.com:tugboater.
I wish I could get it set up...Its annoying to have to use mt yahoo address.
Heelllppp!

Help! I have read through this string, but not found an answer. I too, can receive emails but not send them. The problem started last week - I've been successfully using my mail account for 2 years and then last week, stuff I send just disappears - no error messages. I didn't change any settings or do any updates. All sent messages show in my "sent" folder, as well. I have tried everything, including restoring my hard drive from a backup copy made before I was having difficulty.
I used suggestions in the online help, including using the "ping" function to see if I was communicating with my outgoing mail server. Trying to ping mail.mac.com I get the error message:
"PING mail.mac.com (17.250.248.152): 56 data bytes
--- mail.mac.com ping statistics ---
10 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
I am using mail and .mac mail through a cable DSL line and Airport wireless connection.
I tried changing my outgoing port to 110 and to 25 without help.
Any thoughts?

Why can I receive but not send mail from my itouch?

This is a recent thing. The error message " the sender address was invalid" pops uo when I try to send. I checked the settings and everything seems the same as when it was working.

HI,
Try looking in the contacts app or where you typed the email adress at the top to see if it really is the right email.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

I can receive but not send emails with my skynet account - what am I doing wrong ?

I can receive but not send emails with my skynet account - what am I doing wrong ?
I have no problems with my Yahoo account but I can not send emails with my skynet account.
Actually in iPhone :
Outgoing Mail Server > SMTP "relay.skynet.be"
Primary server > Not Configured > Off
Thank you ...

When you set them up, did you set up both the incoming and outgoing email servers separately, and did you enter the correct SMTP server name, and enter your userid and password even though it says "optional"?
Something else to try, if you haven't, is delete the accounts, connect the iPhone to iTunes, on the Info tab check the box to sync mail server settings, then sync. This should duplicate the settings from your computer to your iPhone.

5th gen ipod can receive but not send emails

5th gen ipod can receive but not send emails. I have iPad with same settings and no issues. Yet, I keep getting "cannot send mail" the user name or password for "[email protected]" is incorrect. Please assist. I am not running both accounts simultaneously

See:
iOS: Unable to send or receive email
Did it work before?
I suspect a error in the settings for the outgoing mail server.

Read this if you can receive, but not send email

If you can receive, but cannot send email on your iPhone, try the following:
Add your outgoing Server Port Number to your "Outgoing Mail Server Name"
Example: smtp.example.com:XXXX
where XXXX is your Outgoing Server Port Number ( eg. 25 )
For specifics on how to do this, read on.
From the Home Screen, select:
Settings
*Mail,Contacts ...*
your email Account ex: [email protected]
Scroll down to Outgoing Mail Server
Then select your outgoing mail server *SMTP smtp.example.com*
Select Primary Server smtp.example.com
Host Name change smtp.example.com to smtp.example.com:XXXX
where XXXX is your Outgoing Server Port Number.
This worked great, but unfortunately this helpful hint could not be found on the Apple support forum ... until now
Hope this helps!

This worked for me too! (iPhone 3G 2.02). Apple's once-over-lightly help with this issue is really lame. I thought better of Apple but they are turning into just another Dell or Microsoft.

Iphone will receive but not send emails using ntlworld

My iphone 5 and ipad mini will both receive emails but not send emails using ntl world. The isp is ntlworld.com. Virgin, who run ntl, cannot help.

You have the wrong outgoing (SMTP) server settings. Contact your email provider for the correct settings.

HT201240 how do i reset my password to access my email on a mac pro. i updated latest software and i am able to receive but not send email. i can't remember my password.

i recently updates the software on my macpro. now i can receive email but not send. it says something about my password but i don't remember the one i set??? now what?

To find your mail account's password, open Keychain Access.app in your /Applications/Utilities folder, select Login Keychain at the top of the list in the left-hand column, and below that, also on the left, select Passwords.
Find your mail account in the list that appears in the larger part of the window, click on it once to select it, then press command-I to open an Info window for your mail account. At the bottom of the Info window, tick the box, Show password:
In the dialog that opens, enter your "login" keychain password (which should be the same as the password you use for your Admin account), and choose Allow. That dialog will close and your mail account's password will appear in the Info window. Copy that password, and enter it in Mail when requested.

Can receive, but not send emails

I've been trying to set up a new mail account on Apple Mail for the past several days. Thus far, I'm able to receive emails with the account, but not send. I've contacted my internet provider to confirm that my settings are correct, and they are, but it's still not working. They said I need to contact Apple.
He are my specifics:
MAC OS 10.5, Apple Mail, Time Warner Road Runner: Eastern North Carolina.
They have recommended: stmp-server.ec.rr.com, alternate port setting: 25. No SSL, and no authentication.
I have tried a few other settings too... the standard ports setting, alternate port setting: 587, SSL selected, and my user name and password for authentication.
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance!

I've had the same issue setting up my Time Warner Road Runner email account on a new iMac OS 10.5.5, so I can totally relate to your problem.
At first I could receive messages, but couldn't send. After multiple attempts to fix the settings, I finally found the right combination to be able to send:
1) Open the Mac Mail application
2) Click onto "Mail" in the top bar next to the apple symbol and click onto "Accounts"
3) Look down on the bottom of that window for the "Outgoing Mail Server" drop-down window, and click the drop-down window and select "Edit Server List"
4) Make sure that the server listed in the top of the next screen says:
smtp-server.ec.rr.com
5) Look down below in the same screen and click onto "Advanced"
6) Make sure the server port is 25 (not 587)
7) Also make sure that "Use Secure Socket Layers (SSL) is NOT CHECKED in the check box.
8) Make sure that the drop-down window below the server port info marked as "Authentication" is showing "none"
9) Click "OK"
10) Close out the Accounts window, so that it asks you to Save new settings. Be sure to hit "Save"
11) Close out of the Mac Mail program
12) Re-Open Mac Mail program and test it out by sending yourself.
13) You should see that dummy message sent out, and then received into your Inbox.
Hope this helps.
