Why do azure developers use Sendgrid to send emails but not another service?

Hello, I don't know if this question is possible here, if not I am sorry for posting it. but I want to send emails from my azure website, and i noticed that most azure users use Sendgrid service to do that, so i was wondering why Sendgrid? what is special

I can send emails but not receive them. The sender address was rejected by the server

i can send emails but not receive them. The sender address was rejected by the server.

Your mail server doesn't like the sender's address for some reason, perhaps because his mail server has been blacklisted for spamming.

New Iphone 5 - can send emails but not sync any other information

I have just tried adding an exchange email account to a new iphone5 and I go through the steps to verify which all works then once set up is complete I can only send emails but not receive them also not able to see outlook file tree or any contacts or calendar appointments.
I have 2 other iphones working - 1 iphone 4 and 1 iphone 5.
Any suggestions?

Contact the exchange admin.

Hey guys n gals,
I'm new to Blackberry and to be honest I'm not the most technical person in the world!
I have recently been given a blackberry pearl 8100. have enabled the bolt on with 02 etc.
I can send emails but i can't receive any - would really appreciate any help you can give me
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello CWNI,
Check out this KB article, it should help you

Hope that helps!
More than likely, you use outlook or similar application on your computer for email and it is just not leaving a copy of the message on the mail server.

I can send email but not receive on my iphone 3GS. Emails to my .me address are OK but not emails to the address hosted by Network Solutions. NS have checked my settings twice. I am using IMAP. Is this a problem with iCloud?

I use IMAP email hosted by Network Solutions for my main email address. I can send and receive this OK in my Mac Mail on my MAC book and also on webmail. However my iphone doesn't receive these emails but it can send. I have checked settings on my iphone twice with Network Solutions but no luck. Emails addressed to my .me address are received OK. I have a suspicion this problem started when I signed up to icloud.
my ISP is BTconnect
Any ideas?

Useful suggestions. In fact I had already deleted and re-entered the account details a few days ago without apparent success. The error message was along the lines of "cannot access the server".
Anyway about an hour after your message, my emails started coming through after a 6 month gap! - makes me think someone at Network Solutions monitors these discussions.
Many thanks

How to send email but not receive it

Hi,
I have 2 email addresses, one for work, and one for other. I like my work email to be forwarded to my Gmail because it archives all of my messages. But in Mac Mail I want to send email from both accounts and only receive from my gmail. Currently I receive duplicate messages on every message because it gets mail from both places and if its a message to my work email, since its forwarded I get it twice.
I already checked, do not check this mailbox when automatically checking for updates, and that works some of the time, but if I need to hit the Get Mail button, it gets mail from that, and I go from 7 messages to 850.
So is there way to be able to have an email address just to send from and not get mail from?

what you describe is strange. how exactly do you forward messages from the work account to gmail? if you do it on the server then there should be no duplicates and your work mailbox on the server should be simply empty.
to send from two accounts yopu can try the following. delete the work account in Mail (that will delete all maiboxes associated with it). then add your work email address separated by command to your gmail address in mail preferences->accounts. also add the smtp server for that address to the list of smtp servers. you'll have to manually choose the "from' address and the smtp server when you send mail but it might work if your work smtp server doesn't complain (it might).

Ipad mini can send email but NOT reply to email

This problem started a couple weeks ago, until then all worked fine.
MY ipad mini can send emails without a problem, but I am unable to reply to any email. I have checked my settings and they match my iPhone 4s settings, which doesn't have this problem.
this is an ipad mini wi-fi only model
i get a pop up saying " a copy of the message has been sent to your outbox. Unable to send content to the server" or something like that.
Any help would be appreciated

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Attachments -- why can I drag them off on one computer but not another??...

Hello -- I have two different Mac Pro's, an iBook and a Snow iMac. (Everything running OS X 10.5.7 except the iMac is 10.3.9.) On most of the computers, when I look at an email in Mail that has an mp3 attachment, I can just click-and-drag it right onto the desktop, no problem. But on ONE Mac Pro I get the annoying message about "Do you want to download this?", so I click Download, and most of the time it does not download, though sometimes it will & iTunes opens up. BUT, I would prefer to just drag the attachment out of the email. I can't seem to find a Pref to tweak... Anybody got a solution for this annoyance? Thank you very much in advance.

I'm pretty sure we're using a generic ethernet module:
I can communicate explicitly with the problem computer, it's able to use 'Tag Read' and 'Tag Write' to communicate with the PLC.
We started having another problem just recently too. The Tag Read and Write commands are almost always timing out. I keep getting the error message -251723752:
Detailed error info: Error -251723752 occurred at EthernetIP Tag Read REAL.vi;Details: The request response was not received in the requested timeout period Possible reason(s): Ethernet/IP Industrial Protocol: (Hex 0xF0FF0018) The request response was not received in the requested timeout period
I can't figure out what's causing this all of a sudden, could these issues be related?

I can send email but not recive.

i have a macbook with leopard and have recently updated everything. for some reason my mail program became worthless. i dont receive any email anymore. out of the blue. i have internet and i looked at the ports and they are still default. i have no idea why this happened.

hey do you think it could have something to do with my landlord lady putting up another firewall. because frostwire and my torr. downloader dont work either. could that mess up my mail forwarding? because i tried Thunderbird from mozilla and it had the same problem.

Can send email but cannot receive on exchange account

My .mac account, gmail account, and yahoo account work flawlessly on my iphone. My work account, however, does not. My employer has his iphone working fine and my settings are the same but for some reason I can't receive email. I have no problem sending email from the account with the iphone, only receiving. Anyone have any ideas?
I have tried setting it up via the "exchange" option (entering mail servers, login, and password) and get the following:
1. Cannot connect using SSL (I proceed without it)
2. Cannot get mail. The user name or password is incorrect. IMAP support must be enabled. (which it is because my employer connects without issue).
3. I save the account despite the warnings and can send email but not receive.

I am having the same problem with both my work and Yahoo accounts. At least to the work account I am positive that the settings are the same as a co-worker using an iTouch to access his email. I have re-entered the settings a minimum of 10 times and the IT department has tried no less than 5 times. The error message remains the same. I could understand incorrectly entering the settings once or twice, but not separate people entering it 15 times. There is something else wrong with the iPhone software.

Hello, sadly Apple pays more attention to iDevices Mail than Mail for Macs.
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.

Why can't I use my previous MobileMe email address instead of creating a new one?

Why can't I use my previous MobileMe email address instead of creating a new one? When signing up for iCloud I'm asked to choose an email address [email protected] I am already using an @me address via moblileme. When i input that address it states that that address is already taken. Try picking a new one. I don't want a new one I want to use my mobileme address. How can that be done?

It appears you set up a new iCloud account rather than migrating your MobileMe account over to iCloud. I migrated everything over this morning and am still using my old MobileMe email address.
Check to see if you can migrate rather than open a new account.

After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

My gmail, which is correctly configured for Mail with gmail SMTP and Google IMAP, works for awhile on Mail, which I leave open while working on other applications. But several times a day I get msg from Google: "We recently blocked a sign-in attempt to your Google Account" . . . and requiring me to verify my account details, re-enter passwords, confirm security settings (or change them from "disable" to "enable less secure methods" and so on). In Mail I also have tried "taking all accounts online", and re-entering my gmail password inside Mail account settings. These steps successfully re-set comms between gmail and Mail ... for awhile, then it happens again. Enough occurrences over a work day that I just quit Mail and revert to accessing gmail directly. Apple Care advisor and an Apple knowledge base article say that Apple can't deal with this, as gmail is third-party app, and they refer me to gmail, and so far I've found nothing helpful there.
From today I also have several instances of a window saying "Mail has unexpectedly closed" and asking me to Re-open it.
I also use Yahoo mail, which stops working with Mac Mail at the same time as gmail, but I do not receive notices to re-verify from Yahoo.
I recently upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite. The Mail problem happened occasionally with Mavericks but is far more frequent with Yosemite.
