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.

  • 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 I not add contacts after ios5 upgrade? Calendar entries can not be added either!

    Since the iOS5 upgrade both calendar and phone contact entries are not possible.

    Well, I have found the solution in a german forum. Switching Contacts and Calendar "ON" under iCloud settings solves the problem and Contact and Calendar entries are possible again.
    So it works now, but I am not sure why do I need to allow the "iClouding" of my Contacts and my Calendar to be able to manage them on my iPhone. Does anybody in this forum know the reason?

  • Why can't I send group text messages on my Iphone 3GS any longer?

    I have been sending and receiving group text messages on my iphone 3GS for awhile and all of a sudden I am receiving "Message Send Failure" error messages when I try to send a group message.  I think I still get group messages but you can no longer see that it is a group message and who the group members are.  I turned the Group setting off and then back on in Settings and turned the phone off and back on with no improvement.

  • 21.1GB space used after IOs5 upgrade on iphone 3gs

    Hi,
    i just Upgraded to IOs5 on my 3GS and there is 21.1GB of space used for other.  does that seem right?  Is there a way to figure out what is using that much space and reduce the usage?
    Cheers

    There are still battery issues with iOS 5 and another update is forthcoming. In the meantime do you have an Exchange mail account on your iPhone?
    Your charging problem is almost certainly related to the water damage on your iPhone. You can do an out-of-warranty replacement for $149.

  • 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. 

  • 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

  • After last upgrade, my iphone 3GS has a yellow screen and won't come on.

    Hi
    I really need help... I have recently upgraded my iPhone 3GS to 4.2.1 and there was a flash of white screen, followed by a yellow screen with lines across it. iTunes shows a error message and the phone is now dead. It won't go on. It does go into the DFU mode but thats all about it. Please help as I urgently and desperately need my phone on ....
    Thank you in advance.

    Thanks for the reply. I tried that and it didn't work because the screen was completely frozen. I broke down and took the thing to the Apple Store and they discovered there was a loose wire in it that had to be reconnected. This is the second phone which has failed because of "workmanship. "The microphone went bad on the first phone and now this issue. Both phones may have had 2 hours on them and as a new comer to the iphone, I am not impressed. I paid cash for the phone and no insurance. I assumed it would have lasted several years like my other phone of which brand name I won't mention. The phone was great when it worked but when it doesn't it is very frustrating when the touch pad is frozen.  
    I understand, you can mark this answer as "This solved my question" so that more people can see it if they have the same problem.
