Why is email "send" button now inoperable?

I just upgraded to IOS 8.2 on my iPhone 4S. I click on an email in contacts as usual, write the email, but then am unable to click "send" because send is grayed-out and inoperable. I am only able to save my email as a draft or to delete it. Of course once I save it as a draft, I can then go into drafts and send it, but it wastes time and I don't want extra steps I shouldn't have to take in the first place.  What happened?

I too have had the exact same problem for weeks on end.  I spoke with an Apple and a Verizon rep recently.  Verizon didn't have a clue.  Apple rep said they are aware of this issue and are working on a bug fix - but when???  This is a service we are paying for and not able to use!  Please fix it asap!
Snakemom, I hope they fix it soon.  I'm a Realtor and need to be able to contact them mainly by email during the day!  I feel your pain.
Good luck to us!

    Stick with one post at a time. Otherwise, it gets very confusing.

  • HT4061 Why would my send button stop working while I am messaging another iPad3?

    Why would my "send" button stop working while I am messaging another ipad3? The send button is still blue.

    Hi Freedom666,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your issue (receiving mail from Gmail to iPad, sending mail from iPad to Gmail, or both). If you are having issues sending or receiving mail on your iPad, you may find the troubleshooting steps in the following article helpful:

  • HT201320 the email send button on my iphone wont work

    , the email send button on my iphone4 wont work

    The send button won't be active until you address it and type something in the body of the email.  Assuming you did that and it still isn't working, try resetting the phone as Ocean20 suggested: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo, release and wait for it to restart.  If that doesn't resolve it you probably need to restore your phone.  As a precaution before restoring, import your photos to your computer and back up your contacts (such as by syncing them with iCloud).  Then connect your phone to iTunes, click on the name of your phone on the left side, go to the Summary tab to the right and click Restore.

  • My email send button stays greed out

    MMy email send button stays greed out???

    Certainly not.  I know you are trying to be helpful.  I've been around a bit longer and have seen many of these subjects pop up, so I was aware that Egypt and iMessage has been problematic.  Nothing more than that. 
    Trust me, when I first started here, the top members of the forum, corrected me often.  I always took it as they are more knowledgeable and I learned from them.

    I set up a new folder for an email sender and now my emails are not able to use the rules that I set up.  What can I do to enable them again.

    I don't seem to be able to copy a rule, but, this is how one rulel displays.
    Name of Rule is Richard Cryar.
    If any of the following conditions are met:
    From contains rcryar@auduboncapital
    Move message to Richard Cryar mailbox
    Not only does this rule not work, but all emails are going into the new box I created and not to the inbox.

  • Why is my send button disabled when emailing through contacts?

    I currently have an iPhone6, and when I go through my contacts list and select a contact to send an email to, the "send" button is disabled (gray). I prefer this method of contacting clients.
    That being said, when I go through the actual mail application, it works just fine.
    Thoughts?

    That's a bug. The "To" address appears filled in but Mail doesn't think it is there So it won't activate the Send button.
    Report the problem to Apple here: http://apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • When forwarding email send button doesn't highligh...

    When I want to forward an email I enter addressees and click 'done' but the send button doesn't highlight. It remains a light grey and I can't click on it.  When I scroll over it, however, it says "send this email [Control + Enter].  I can then press Control and Enter and it sends. Can anyone tell me why the send button doesn't highlight so that I can just click on it.  This is in the new BT yahoo mail and I have tried it on Firefox, Chrome and IE and it is exactly the same.
    Solved!

    Is this problem exclusive to you or are there others using the same computer but with a different email log on that have the same problem or is theirs OK? Can you try on another computer to see if the problem exists there which would tend to indicate a profile problem rather than a computer problem?

    Thanks for your interest 
    Hi. Welcome to the forums.
    Are you logging into email using the browser or an email client such as Outlook, Thunderbird or Windows Live Mail ?
    When you say you've "uploaded Java" - do you actually mean that you have installed a Java update when prompted, and when looking at the browser, accepted the add-in ? This should not interfere.
    What browser are you using, IE8 or IE9, Firefox, Chrome, Opera or another ?
    If you are using a browser, was the Send button just above the "Compose email" entry screen ?

  • Can't send email - SEND button doesn't work

    I recently upgraded this machine to 10.4 Today, I the SEND button in MAIL doesn't work. I also cannot select SEND from the menu. Nothing happens. Help!

    I finally broke down and called Apple (I forgot I still had AppleCare on the machine). Basically, they had me trash my Preferences file and start over. (I had already tried trashing my com.apple.mail... file.) Trashing Prefs didn't fix anything, so I renamed my Library file and OSX created a new one. That fixed the problem, but now I have to dig out and slowly transfer my old Lib files back until I figure out which files are causing the problem. Yikes.
    However, I was just reading in the latest MacWorld that after every upgrade you should immediately run Apple's Disk Utility and Repair Permissions. I wonder if that would have solved the problem?

  • Why does the Send button disappear on iCal invites?

    Just to premise this post with the fact that this is from our networked work server, all running Macs on 10.6.7 and using iCal 4.0.4. I'm writing this on behalf of a colleague.
    When she goes to send invites to events like Board/Committee meetings in iCal, the "Send" button often disappears. The title is there, there's a day/time and location, and the contacts are pulled from her Mail/Address Book contacts. Sometimes the send button stays as it should, and other times it disappears after a few seconds, with no way to bring it back up. So sometimes she tries to add a group of contacts and immediately hit Send before it disappears - but this often leads to typos or mistakes due to her rush.
    Although I've used a Mac as my primary computer for years, I've never really used iCal much, so I didn't know how to help directly.
    Any reasons why the Send button would not be showing? I was thinking perhaps it was an issue with the contacts, but they come directly from her daily Mail/Address Book. I saw her go through the steps - it doesn't appear she's missing anything. Any help would be great.

    perhaps you could post a screen capture of that?
    Does it work if you hold shift while you start Thunderbird?

  • Email Send Button is Dimmed

    The send button is dimmed in my email message. My email was working fine before and I haven't changed anything.

    Hi Carol,
    Normally this indicates that your SMTP server is either offline/unavailable or you do not have one selected. If you go into your account settings under SMTP what does it say? Is there something listed in that drop down menu or does it display "None" instead? Also if the outgoing server is offline it'll say that it brackets to the right of your SMTP server.

  • Email 'send' button not working

    I have an odd problem.
    The 'Send' button on my Mail application is greyed out so I can still receive mail but I can't send any.
    Has anyone any experience of something odd like this, and if so, what advice would you offer?
    Thanks in advance.

    Kieran,
    Did you look at these two kb articles:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1307
    First is for 10.6, second for 10.5, but both have essentially the same thing for a dimmed send button...make sure the SMTP server is not set to none.

  • Search TV guide options button now inoperable

    In addition to no longer having the ability to search within show descriptions for key words or guests on shows, the options button no longer brings up the choice of upcoming airings on TV vs. OnDemand content.  Using that button while searching now brings up settings of which key board to use?! The options button used to be very helpful to narrow down the search.  Please bring all of the functionality back: searching within descriptions and options of where to search.  Thank you.

    It sounds more that those buttons were added by an extension.
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
