Why can't i send email since the ios5 upgrade?

why can't I send emails since ios 5 upgrade?

There are several threads discussing this issue. I tried many suggested solutions without success until one finally worked and I'm sharing it in every thread.
First, here is my hardware/software situation, if your's is diff, then the fix I found might not work.
iPhone 4 upgraded to iOS 5.  IMAP email wouldn't SEND
Fix:
Go into setting>mail>your account>Outgoing mail Server SMTP>Primary Server then turn Server ON and fill in both User Name + Password under Outgoing Mail Server.
It seems that in previous versions of iOS, you didn't need to enter your username and password in the outgoing mail server settings, but in iOS 5, IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
Thanks to worapoj for being the first (i saw) to post this simple fix.

  • 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.

  • HT1430 why can't I send emails via my iphone & ipad?

    Why can't I send emails from my iphone & ipad? Everything worked fine last night, but I updated my software yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I've been having the same problem with one of several email accounts on one iPad2 and one iPhone5.  It has been driving me crazy.  I have deleted and reinstalled the email accounts more times than I can count and was ready to throw the device out the window.  However I just found a post from another user who stated that they were able to solve this problem by confirming that the outgoing mail server password was corrected.  Apparently they found that after an upgrade the old password was retained by the server.  I had never checked this because it's a few extra steps to get into the outgoing mail server.  When I did I found that it was incorrect.  Once changed, I was able to send the email again.  Problem solved!  Also I agree that the other user was rude in commenting to you the way that he/she did.  Hope this helps you

  • 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.
    Did apple change something without telling us?

  • My iphone will not send emails since the last update

    I can no longer send emails from my iphone but continue to receive them. Help

    It now states it was rejected by the server. This message just began today, prior to that there was no message and I would have no idea if an email was sent unless I looked at my sent mailbox.

  • Why can't I send emails after iOS5 upgrade of iPhone 3GS?

    Having upgraded to iOS5, my iPhone 3GS will receive but will no longer send emails.  The error message says that it cannot send mail because the recipient [named] was rejected by the server.  This happens whether I am trying to reply to an incoming message or create one afresh.  Help please.

    If anyone picks up this question, I later found the answer at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3400398?start=0&tstart=0 - a thread I failed to find when I first searched.

  • Can't delete individual messages since the IOS8 upgrade.

    Since the IOS8 upgrade, when trying to delete individual messages, the trash can no longer appears in the lower left corner. All that appears now is the camera and the area to write a message. I have reset all settings and rebooted multiple times. Initially after doing this the trash can will reappear. I delete some messages but then when I go back to delete more messages, the camera reappears. The only resolution I have found is to shut my phone down and restart it, but this is only a very temporary fix and is not ideal.

    I have this issue also, it appears as though the Messages app is not detecting the context and switching to the right menu at the bottom. In addition, the other problems that show up when this happens are:
    If you try to take a photo to send in a message, the camera app opens but the keyboard continues to cover the bottom of the screen (so you can't press the shutter button).
    When you respond to an incoming message, the cursor doesn't automatically appear in the text box - you type characters, but they go nowhere. You have to actually tap once in the message box before typing.
    When you tap send, even though the audio recording button isn't visible, as soon as your finger hits the screen the audio button pops up and a recording begins.
    I would really like to go back to iOS 7. Even after 3 minor updates, iOS 8 is still very sloppy. Bad Apple!

  • Why can't I send email when I upgrade to the latest edition of firefox?

    Firefox version 3.6.23 works fine, but whenever I try a newer version I find that I can read my email, but cannot send emails. Is there a fix?

    First of all, I'd like you to excuse my English. I'm Italian and I speak few words of English.
    I'm using Apple product since 1984. I remember very well the first machine I used, an Apple MacIntosh Plus! I've been always proud of my many Apple's products: computers, iPods, iPads, Apple Tvs and so on.
    Now I'm very sorry for what it's happening in these days (and never happened before!). Apple has released the latest version of iPad/iPhone OS (iOS 6) and Mac Os X (v10.8.2). The results are that I cannot sync my devices (iPhones/iPads) with iTunes. Every pictures I took during many years of activity disappeared from my devices.
    I'm expecting a new patch from Apple, but I'm very sorry because this great and glorious factory is now very similar to Microsoft ...

  • 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.

  • 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.
