Why can't I send e-mail when connected to some WiFi networks?

At times when I can connected to other WiFi networks, I cannot send e-mail.
I'm not sure if this is something in the settings for my e-mail, or related to the WiFi network.
I am able to receive e-mails at that time.

Check that you have set up the OUTGOING server as well as the incoming server. Follow the instructions in this technical support article to get to your outgoing server configuration. If none is configured, use the instructions to add the outgoing server according to your email provider's instructions. If one is configured, verify that it is set up correctly.

Outgoing mail isn't sent when connected to some wifi networks

Although my outgoing mail goes out just fine on cellular networks, and on my home wifi, outgoing mail isn't sent when connected to some wifi networks.
I use the apple outgoing mail server.
What is unusual however is that my outgoing mail address is not from a standard domain. I have my own.
Could it involve an spr record?

Do you have a wireless network at home and Is the email account provided by your internet service provider associated with your wireless network?
Most, if not all internet service providers block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP being used for your internet connection at the time unless the SMTP server is authenticated. The same applies when connected to the internet via the cellular network. Recieving is not a problem regardless the ISP being used for your internet connection at the time.
If the email account is provided by your ISP, most ISPs do not have an authenticated SMTP sever for the email account they provide.
Both my email accounts have an authenticated SMTP server and I've never had a problem sending with either account regardless the ISP associated with a wi-fi network I'm connected to at the time or when connected to AT&T's cellular network - for 2+ years aporoaching 3 years this July.

Why can't I send e mails when not on wifi at home?

My phone contract is with Orange and my internet provider is Eclipse. I have spend hours on the phone to both Orange and Eclipse to no avail. It is causing me huge problems as I rely on my phone for my business to e mail etc. I have changed from a Blackberry to this I Phone 5 and it is driving me made. Should I ditch it and go back to Blackberry?

Probably because your smtp setting is configured for your regular isp and they likely, as do many, do not allow sending email using their smtp server when you are not connected to their network. Contact your isp and ask them, or look at their site for the smtp settings for using their smtp server when not on their network. This is a spam prevention measure employed by most ISPs.

Why can't I send E Mails from my I Pad? Why is it I can only receive?

We need more information, like...
1) what email account (is it just iCloud's @me.com/@mac.com or do you have a problem with any other email accounts, like google)?
2) What happens when you try to send an email?
3) Did you formerly use MobileMe - if so, did you remove the account in the mail app and create a new one to iCloud?

Why can I not send e-mails from my e-mail account? I can receive e-mails. Not an iCloud account. It is a Bell Aliant account.

Why can I not send e-mails from my e-mail account? I can receive e-mails. It is not an iCloud account it is a Bell Aliant account. An account I pay for.
This is the second time in three months this has occurred. Bell Aliant suggested I contact Apple directly as the only option is to remove my e-mail account and reconfigure it. This will mean losing all my files. These files are very important as my account is a business account.
Bell Aliant thought perhaps it is an Apple problem and that Apple may better be able to remedy the situation without me losing my e-mail files.

Sorry ?
An Internet email provider losses all your Mail and it's Apple's fault ??
Did they explain how the app managed to delete all of your mail and then not even let you have access ?
If that was the case the app should still be able to access the empty folders.
I know there is often blame and counter blame in these situations but there are limits.

Why can't I send or receive text messages to some users from my iPad mini while there is no problem texting them from my iPhone?

With the Apple iMessage app, You can only Message with other iOS users - iPads, iPod Touch, iPhone users and Macs running Mountain Lion or higher. With your iPhone, you can send standard SMS text messages to any phone, including Android phones.
The iPad cannot send SMS messages or receive them either.

Can't get any mail while connected on a wifi network

Hi All!

Any ideas?
Thanks for reading.

Why can't I send a mail from an iPhoto Album in Safari

After uploading an album from iPhoto I open the gallery in Safari 3.2.1.
Then I get the option of sending a mail under "Tell a friend". I enter my mailadress and the addressees' mailaddress and then I try to enter the scrambled letters in the designated box. However these don't get accepted and another set of letters appear and I have to try again. This continuous ad nauseam.
In the iPhoto-forum someone suggested I clear the cache but that didn't help, also that I delete the browsers preference file. So I removed com.apple.Safari.plist. That helped for a couple of hours, but now the problem has reocurred.
Anybody has any ideas please? Thanks

I have meanwhile installed Firefox 3.0.5, but that doesn't solve the problem. So it maybe isn't a Safari problem?

Why can't I get iTunes to work on my parents' wifi network?

I am home for the holidays, and I cannot play any of my music through the cloud, or preview songs in iTunes using my parents' wifi network. I can connect to the internet through their wifi network to search using safari, and I can browse and search within the iTunes store. Nothing happens when I try to preview songs in the store, or listen to music or watch TV shows in my library, though. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be going on? Thanks!

Hello rhofer
If you are having issues with connecting to the iTunes Store, check out the first article for some tips and also ensure that the router at your parents home are using the recommended settings.

Confirmed workarounds:
* While composing an email open the address book and select the list you are trying to send to, highlight all the names in the list and drag them to the To: box. This uses your existing data without modifying it.
* Replacing the blanks " " between the words in such lists' descriptions with an underscore "_". This requires modifying your mailing list(s) description(s).

Why can I not send e-mail under Share option?

When I attempt to send pics fm iPhoto using Share, the To address blanks out and I get a msg: The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination. How can I correct this?

Do you have iPhoto set as the email client in iPhoto's General preference pane?
If so then go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane, delete the email account that's there and then add it back again.
Or a better solution: set Mail as the email client in iPhoto via iPhoto's General preference pane. That will give you better access to Contacts, a sent copy and, if you want a layout like iPhoto provides, you can use Mail's photo stationary.
Happy Holidays
