Yahoo mail won't send from iPhone 3gS

I used my yahoo email account on my older iPhone 3G without problems. Now, on the 3GS, many emails I send do not actually get sent. Sometimes there is the "sending" progress bar, but most of the time the messages don't go out and don't get into the sent messages folder. I notice this happening more frequenstly when traveling. This also happens using my corp account which is on a microsoft exchange server.

Try deleting and re-creating the account on your iPhone.
If successful, deselect transfer email account settings under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by selecting apply before the first sync after doing so.

Yahoo! Mail won't send from my iPhone since installing iOS 5

Hi,
I have just upgraded to iOS 5 on my iPhone 3GS. I am not using iCloud. (The issue I am about to describe, or something similar, seems to be reported by iCloud users elsewhere in this forum, but I think the causes are different.)
I synced my mail settings with Outlook, so my Yahoo Mail settings should be the same on the iPhone as in Outlook, where it works perfectly well.
Since I did this, I can receive Yahoo mail on my iPhone, but whenever I try so send mail or reply to a message, I get "The sender address '[email protected]' was blocked by the server." There is clearly nothing wrong with the sender address, as it is correct in the error window, and I have no idea what could be causing the problem.
This is a major pain in the neck. If anyone has a fix for it, I'd be glad to hear what it is.
(I should probably learn my lesson and stop upgrading my iPhone software. Every time I do, something weird happens. )
Thanks.

Email account won't send from iphone

I just switched from a blackberry to iphone 4. I have set up all of my email accounts but my work account won't send emails to any accounts that are not from our server. I never had this problem with my blackberry so I know it can be done. The message always says "email address rejected by server". Anyone else have this problem?

hi there
Sorry no answer, just to say i am getting the same message when trying to send mail from my yahoo account. I have a Microsoft exchange account for work which seems to be fine.
Glad i am not alone!
Cheers

Yahoo mail won't send when using wifi; works otherwise?

iPhone 5s with latest OS updates.
Steps to reproduce problem:
1. Set up Yahoo mail in iPhone mail client
2. Connect to local wifi using Centurylink in my case but it happens on other networks also.
3. Send an email.
Email seems to get stuck going out and won't leave. The app sort of hangs and if you're lucky, you'll see the email in the outbox unsent. Sometimes you won't find it. It's never in the sent folder either.
However, if you turn off wifi, it sends fine.
What's going on here? Is it Yahoo or iPhone?

My week-old 3GS is doing a very similar thing with my Yahoo, if not the exact same thing. I'll start a new thread in case it's different.

Yahoo Mail won't send replies - Help

I have 2 mail accounts set up on my iPhone 3Gs. Gmail and Yahoo Mail. Gmail works perfectly and has no issues. Yahoo Mail however will allow me to compose and send new mail but won't let me reply or forward mails.
When I reply, it all appears as though it has been sent and when I look on my web account, there is a reply icon beside the mail but nothing in the sent items.
I cannot understand how this is happening and need to get a resolution as it is driving me mad.
Thanks
Nico

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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
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.

Mail won't send on iphone 4s

for some reason I cannot seem to send mail on my iphone - I press send and it basically just dissappears! I cant see it in sent or drafts, anywhere. The timer is constatntly going, always saying connecting, has this got soemthing to do with it?

Ok - the problem is solved. I'm going to give you the solution so that you can help others in the future, because it is kind of a pain in the butt, and you mentioned that you didn't use gmail. Before I tell you, thanks for trying to help. It is appreciated.
So for some reason, if you use the built in mail applcation instead of the gmail app, AND if you have two-step authenticaiton turned on (which I do) you can not use your standard password. If you are not using two-step authentication, this is not a problem.
So, you have to go into your gmail account from a web browser, go into your two step authentication settings, and generate what is called an "application specific password." You give it a name. For example, I have one for my iPad, one for my iPhone, etc.
The problem I had was that I had put the applicaiton specific password in for checking mail, but not sending it, because it was marked as "optional" so I didn't think I needed it in both locations since all of my email popped up right away. So I generated a new password for the iPhone and put it in both incoming and outgoing email, and it worked.
Thanks again for trying!

Embarqmail mail won't send on iPhone

I've tried deleting account and putting all CORRECT info in, but I still can't get mail to send. I can send from my Gmail account just fine from iPhone.... Help!

Okay. Sending mail has to do with the SMTP server. When you removed the account from the iPhone, and before you add it back, check in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars and select your other account. Find the Outgoing Mail server and then tap on SMTP and see if you see anything listed in Other SMTP servers. If not, then go ahead and add the account back. Make sure when adding, that you put the username and password in all sections, even where they say optional.
When you talked to them on the phone, did they indicate they support sending mail on a smartphone like the iPhone? Just a question.

Yahoo mail won't send messages

I can't send mail.

Hello Son of James,
Welcome to the Forums, you are not alone, according to a Product Specialist at Apple, Yahoo Mail not sending is a known issue and Apple receives many calls on it. I also have this issue and it occurs just about every day. Yes you can reset your iphone for a temporary fix, it will again work for about a day. Please call AppleCare to report your problem with Yahoo Mail not sending, the more people that call in, the faster we will all have a fix.
Cheers.

Mail Won't Send from Account Selected

Having a real problem with Apple Mail. When using the From: account dropdown menu to select an account different from the default one, I expect that the recipient will receive the email as coming from that account. However, I just learned today that ALL email I send from Mail is using only the default account and completely ignoring whatever account I selected in the From: dropdown.
I also tried setting "Send new messages from:" to "Account Mailbox" in Mail Preferences, but, made no difference.
The exact same problem is happening on my partner's Macbook, who's running the same OS version I am: 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it? Thanks!
Tom

I am also having the same problem that just started this morning. The mail is using my smtp server e-mail account from my serverice provider (Bell Canada) for all outgoing mail as the "From" and totally disregarding whatever e-mail account I select to send from. As I have 14 different e-mail accounts for different work activities, it is just not acceptable.
At first I thought it may be a problem with my service provider, but after 2 hours on the phone testing it with them, it is obvioulsy a system problem and not a server one. was there an update that changed something with the mail program??
I am also 24" iMac with 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB of 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM running Mac OS X 10.6.8

Mail will not send from iPhone on .Mac Account!

This is weird. From my .Mac account when I try to send an email message, I get the "Cannot Access Outgoing Mail Server", whereas if I set up a Gmail account on the same phone, it sends just fine.
I've deleted and re-created the account, restored, updated, software, and all the above again, been to the Genius Bar -- yet remain stymied. Is there some simple solution I've overlooked?

Your problem is with Cox and Cox not having an authenticated SMTP server.
Not many ISPs provide an authenticated SMTP server and I'm not sure why - especially with laptops and devices such as the iPhone so popular.
I'm a Time Warner/RoadRunner customer for cable and internet access and I quit using my RR email account several years ago for this very reason. I switched to using my .Mac account as my primary personal email account which has an authenticated SMTP server. I'm able to send messages with the account regardless the internet service provider used for internet access. My business POP account also has an authenticated SMTP server and no problems sending with this account either - via a number of different Wi-Fi connections and EDGE.
I suggest seriously considering switching to another email account. A Gmail account is free, can be accessed as a POP or IMAP account with the email client on your computer as well as with the iPhone's email client, has a good spam filter at the incoming mail server, and has an authenticated SMTP server.
If you ever move or decide to change your ISP from Cox to a different ISP, your email account and address will not need to change. You can access and send messages with a Gmail account with any ISP - the same with a .Mac account. And you'll have much more server storage space than Cox provides.

Mail won't send from airports or hotels

My Mail always works perfectly at home, but when I travel I can't send emails from hotels or airports, most of the time, although I can always receive email. I don't understand it. Can anyone help?

Michael,
It is OK to report the name of the SMTP, but minus your username -- is it smtp.mac.com? If so, I think your problems will be solved by changing the Port number to 587, at least at most venues. Some may accept it on 25, as your ISP does, but often 587 will be required. See:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302030
In your case, the reference to ISP, would actually be the provider of internet services at these other venues. It is likely that Port 587 will also work at home. One of the advantages of a .mac account, is the Authenticated SMTP for sending in other venues, but still subject to any blocking of Port 25 that some providers at the hotels, etc, might be doing.
Keep me posted.
Ernie
