Why can't I send email if I can recieve it?

If I am at home, I can send and recieve email on my iphone. I have a Netgear wireless router at home if that matters.
If I am not at home, I can only recieve email. I will get an error message if I try to send.
Anyone know how I can fix that?
Thank You.

because you are probably using your ISP's outgoing mail server. it works fine when you are home because you are on that ISP's internet but when you leave your house you are no longer using your ISP and can no longer use your ISP's outgoing mail server.
for example. if you have a @me.com email and say have comcast's internet service you can send mail from home using comcast's outgoing mail server because you are on their service. once you leave the house you are no longer on comcast and therefor can no longer send mail through their server.
instead of using the outgoing mail server of your ISP use the outgoing mail server provided by the provider of the email. for mobleme the outgoing mail server would be smtp.me.com (instead of your home ISPs mail server which may be something like smtp.comcast.net)
since you mentioned that you do use comcast then it's most likely the issue i described above and i believe the fix requires changing the out going port.
go here and see if this helps with setting up your email account, you may have to remove the account and reset it up:

i found this info in another post regarding comcast email:
outgoing: smtp.comcast.net
username: first part of email
password: same as incoming
ssl:on
authentication: password
port: 465

Hello lclaunch22
You may need to validate the account with Hotmail. When logged in to the Hotmail account on a computer, there are instructions on how to do this.

HT1338 Why can recieve or send picture messages

I would like to get pux

HI,
You posted in Mountain Lion and tagged the post "Messages"
However your Specs only mention an iPhone.
Your Title of your Thread mentions updating the Mac OS on a computer (OS X as opposed to iOS) and uses a Link to an Apple Document about this.
Are you trying to send and Receive Pic in the Messages app on a Computer in Mountain Lion or on your iPhone ?
If the iPhone over what sort of Network ? (Cellular or WiFi)
If WiFi do you have control over the internet ports that are open ?
Do your have MMS allowed on your iPhone ?
If it is the Mac then which service/Screen Name/IDs are you using ?
AIM needs port 5190 on UDP to be open (Firewall and Router)
Jabber can depend on the abilities of the Server you are using.
iMessages can depend on the ports opened in your routing devices the same as an iPhone could be effected.

HT1430 Hello, email settings correct, can not send emails from the ipad,

****, I HAVE ENTERED ALL MY EMAIL SETTINGS CORECTLY INTO MY IPAD FROM MY EMAIL ACCOUNT ON MY PC AND I CANNOT SEND EMAILS FROM IPAD , WHAT AM I DOING WRONG CAN YOU HELP PLEASE

it could be one of many reasons, is it giving you a reason why it is not sending emails?
I know you said everything is the same as your PC email settings, but I would double check, also the iPad will tend to default to IMAP, so if you are using POP3 for your email, you may need to change the settings on the mail server. For example Gmail default to POP3 and needs IMAP turning on.
What email account are you using? Who is it with?

My iphone can not send email

Any suggestions on why my Iphone cannot send email? Apple says it is my providers problem, my provider says it is Apples problem...Stuck in the Middle!

Is your iPhone connecting to the internet through the Verizon mobile internet connection or via WiFi through another provider (presumably Time Warner)?
Does the outgoing Time Warner email server allow connections from outside of their network? i.e. do they provide authenticated SMTP?

Tiger Mail Not Sending Emails

It USED to work ... but the mail feature for Tiger is no longer sending emails (but it DOES recieve them).
The Error Message is as follows:
This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
The connection to the server "smtp.mac.com" on port 25 timed out.
Can someone help me?
Cheers,
ne@nher@.

Who is your internet service provider (ISP) use for connecting to the internet?
This error message indicates your ISP is blocking the use of SMTP servers outside of their network on Port 25. Since using the .Mac SMTP server on Port 25 worked previously, this may be a recent change implemented by your ISP.
Within the last year, SBC implemented such a change and conveniently neglected to inform their customers beforehand so your ISP may have done the same.
Something to try.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below.
At the Server Port field, enter 587 in place of 25 in the space provided. When finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
Check if this resolves the problem.
If not and you are also accessing an email account and SMTP server provided by your ISP, select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send mail with your .Mac account which is done under the Account Information tab for the account preferences via the pop-up menu next to the SMTP server currently selected for the account.
This is invisible to all recipients and should allow you to send mail with your .Mac account while calling your ISP to check on any recent changes implemented on the use of an SMTP server not provided by your ISP and outside of their network.

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 cut and paste email addresses when sending documents?

Why can't I cut and paste email addresses when sending files? I have to type them in each time...And it doesn't remember them for the future, as SendNow did.
Also, it seems that the message I type in is not kept, as it was with SendNow?
Thanks!

Hi drlaura,
You're correct on both counts--these features work differently Adobe Send than they do in Adobe SendNow.
If you're sending files from Adobe Reader, you can access your local Address Book, which should make entering email addresses easier. Please see: I’m trying to send a file from Adobe Reader, but I can’t access my computer’s address book to find my contacts. Why not?
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,

Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Apple is great!
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC. I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off. Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage. I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging. Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on. What happened to regular MMS text messaging? I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program. I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?
The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.
Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

Greetings,
Questions:
1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
3. Do you use MobileMe/ iCloud or another server based sync solution like Google or Yahoo?
4. Do other changes to synced information like Address Book content sync successfully back and forth?
Based on your description it sounds like you have a 1 way sync issue. Events sync fine between the iOS devices and fine from the computer to the iOS devices but not from the iOS devices to the computer.
Try:
Backup your computer and iOS devices before doing anything else:

Why can I not attach a document to an email? Every time I want to send an email with a document attached to it, an error notice pops out. It tell me that the file is being used even when it is not. How can I fix this issue?

Why can I not attach a document to an email? Every time I want to send an email with a document attached to it, an error notice pops out. It tells me that the file is being used even when iall other programs are closed. How can I fix this issue?

Thanks Jeff, I was not aware that a template could be multi-page. (All the existing templates were 1 page)
But it worked, saving me some steps. When I was finished I renamed the document, and locked it.
Then tried to save it but could not because it was locked. I closed it, went to my Spread Sheet Folder ,
to find it, it was not there. The Finder could not find it either.
So I start over again.
I opened up Numbers and it showed my personal Numbers template folder, it contained both my new
original 4 page template and the vanished saved document!
I tried to delete the template containing these document data and could not - I had to go to the Library/Application Support/Numbers to physically remove it from this folder. Then I started over again. I Finally found out how to make it work: I can now "save as", and then lock, and it will go to place where I want it to be saved and locked.
The secret is: Click on the document title in the menu bar, and it opens up "Save as...", which works the same as in OS 10.4.11, and you can pick the place you want for saving. Once done that, you can then lock the document in the same pull down menu, and then close it.
I also found later that I can delete a template from its folder, by letting Numbers open the templates,
clicking on the one I want to remove, then go to the "Numbers Menu/File/Move to...", select "Desktop"
and from there the selected template can then be thrown into the Trash from there.
It appears now that the real fault of the Numbers software is that the "Save as" command is not available in the "Edit" or "File" pull-down menus, but hidden behind the title of the document.

Why can't I send or get email from an AOL account!

Good Evening,
I should say if u could try to keep this simple as I am by no means a computer wiz!. Having said that I have a Verizon account & friend's of mine have AOL but for some reason we can not send email to each other as it keeps coming back.
My question is why is this? I love Verizon but have never had this with any of the other providers I had. Is there something I need to turn off? & if so what & how?. I'm really lost as to why I can't send nor get email from AOL. If anyone could explain it but in a way I can understand it this would be great!.
Thank you for your time!
Will,

Why can't I open all my emails, open attachments or send photos on my ipad anymore

Why can't I open all my emails, open attachments or send photos on my ipad anymore. Sometimes it takes awhile for an email to open, other times they open without any incident. I can't seem to be able to email any photos anymore.

It sounds like you have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them.
Pages 5 can not open Pages '08 files at all. You will need to Export the Pages '08 files to Word .doc/x or use Pages '09 to open the Pages '08 files and resave them.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 older Pages files can not be opened in previous Pages.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:
