Why can't I send out messages on Mail?

I'm able to receive mail but I can't send out any. I've tried troubleshooting, like checking if the outgoing server is correct and reviewed everything in my preferences.... everything looks normal from the info Yahoo provided me with. I've also tried the Connection Doctor and it said both incoming and outgoing serveres successfully connected with the internet. 
What more can I do? This issue just suddenly came up out of nowhere.
Also, I don't know if it has anything to do with it but when I tried sending out an email to a large group of people after attempting it on Mail unsuccessfully, Yahoo wouldn't let me for "suspicious activity" on my account. I don't know what's that about.
Thanks,
Christelle

I am guessing you're asking about picture messages as mesages, not emails.
Go to Settings > Messages and make sure "Send as SMS" is "On".  Also "MMS Messaging" must be "On".

  • Why can't I send out company e-mail or delete items in my company inbox?

    I cannot send or delete email from my company e-mail site. I added my CRM into the pop up blocker but that didn't help.

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

  • Why can't I send i-message and use facetime with my iphone 4s(BTW, there is nothing wrong with my apple account))

    Why can't I send i-message and use facetime with my iphone 4s(BTW, there is nothing wrong with my apple account))
    It functioned well originally, but a month ago I could not use facetime and send i-message anymore. I think there is nothing wrong with my apple ID because I can still download apps in apple store.

    Try turning both iMessages and Facetime off in SETTINGS then re-enable iMessages and then Facetime. See if that helps.

  • TS3274 Why can't I send text messages to some of my people in my contact list?

    Why can't I send text messages to some of my people in my contact list? What do I have to do?

    You can send imessages to anyone who is using an Apple device (recent models).It will try to go via wifi but if it can't then it will try to send as an SMS and for that you need cellular capability.
    Does your iPad have cellular capability?  If not then you can't send to non-Apple devices through iMessage.
    Hope this helps a bit.

    The person that you want to reach must be setup and registered to use Messages on their own device before you can reach them and Messages only works with other iOS users and Macs running Mountain Lion. If you know that they are setup for Messages go to Settings>Messages>Show Subject Field>Off. Make sure it is turned off.

    Most likely your carrier has not enabled texting on your phone.

  • Why can't I send txt messages to anyone w/iPad ?

    Why can't I send txt MSG to anyone w/ iPad 3?

    You can send iMessages to anyone with an iPad that has installed iOS 5.0 or later and has registered/activated iMessages on their iPad. The same applies with an iPhone or iPod Touch.

  • Why can't I send any messages?

    Hi I have an iPhone 4S using iOS 8.2. The problem is that I can't send any messages at all. First off, I tried turning the iMessage feature off and then on again but now it's stuck. I can't turn it on again. Secondly any texts I send out will just give me the notification that it failed to send. Does anyone know what to do?
    Things I've tried:
    Shutting off and turning on
    Restarting
    Resetting Network Settings
    Resetting All Settings
    Turning off iMessage to turn it back on (Now it's stuck off.)
    Syncing with iTunes
    And I'm in the process of restoring the iPhone using iTunes
    Things to note:
    Everything on my phone works fine. But I notice whenever I open up my Message app it'll take a really long time. Usually when it does work, all my messages are gone. Other times I can see my messages. But whenever I click on it, it'll lag tremendously. Once it responds I can still only see the last message that was sent between the other person and I.
    A similar thing happens in Settings. Whenever I try accessing Settings > Messages it'll lag a lot before eventually letting me in.
    EVERYTHING else works perfectly though, it's only anything that involves messages/face time that will give me problems.
    Thanks in advance!

    Follow these steps:
    1. Turn off iMessage
    2. Turn off Facetime
    3. Go to General, Reset, Reset Network Settings
    4. Go to Settings, go to wifi and enter your network password
    5. Go back to iMessage and turn it on
    6. Go to FT and turn it on
    This should work for you.

  • HT4623 Why can't I send MMS messages on IOS 7.0.2 from my Iphone 4s on Straight Talk?

    After upgrading my Iphone 4S to IOS 7.0.2 I no longer can send MMS messages.  I have already reset the network settings several times.  This is very anowing and I have lost sales because of it. 

    Ask straight talk why you can't send MMS - since it is a carrier feature.
    are you provisioned to use MMS?  Do you have MMS turned ON.

  • Why can't iCal send out invitees??

    Well, nothing has changed, and nothing has been fixed, so here's a restatement of my problem.
    I get lost is all the tech talk. However, put simply, here's my simple problem that Apple never figured out either!
    Bottom line - as soon as iCloud is introduced into the configuration, my iCal can't send out invites.
    When I first got my Macbook pro using my calendar locally I could invite and get acceptances via Apple email using Comcast email address.
    As soon as I got the iCloud involved I lost this capability! I messed around for several hours on the phone, got the problem escalated, went to the genius bar and no one ever figured out the solution. So, it hasn't worked for over a year. I bought the mac and it came with Lion. So, my combination where I can't send out invites is Lion and iCloud. It's the CLOUD!!!!
    As an experiment I made my calendar local to my mac again (took it away from iCloud), and invites worked!! Unfortunately I got an iPhone and again got corraled into the iCloud. So, my invites don't work again!
    My wife has my same configuration except for the fact she doesn't use the iCloud, i.e. her calendar is local. She can send out invites, I can receive them from her, I can accept or decline them and she gets the response.....
    Bottom line - as soon as iCloud is introduced into the configuration, my iCal can't send out invites. From what I see out there in the communities, this is a real problem! Apple tech - any solutions?
    Anyone out there from Apple care enough to help me out?
