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

Mail Won't Send with New WiFi

Just switched internet providers. Internet and incoming mail work fine, but outgoing messages won't send. My outgoing mail server is my sever at work. How do I get my messages to send?

You should post this to the Mail forum under Mac OSX 10.6.
There are literally dozens of things that need to be done to fix this, up to and including your new internet provider blocks SMTP mail servers.

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.

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.

Mail doesn't send when used fromout an other app?

I noticed many times that when I send an email from out another app, the message isn´t really send. I still have to go to the mail app, outbox, and give the command to send it. Is this normal?

From which app - give an example.
When I select email from within an app that provides the option, a new email is generated automatically with the Mail app. I enter the contacts I want to send the email to and select send with no problem. I'm already in the Mail app with the new email generated by the app.

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 emails using BT home hub 3

Had this problem and found little help through the genius bar.
If anyone has this problem in future refer to this URL:
http://business.forums.bt.com/t5/Email/email-on-Mac-problem-sending/td-p/46630/p age/2
Hope it helps.

Hmmm…then try creating a new User account for testing purposes, setup Mail there with the same settings and see if the password is accepted there. If it is, that would seem to suggest that your Mail preferences file is corrupt, and the only way to be certain and correct it is to remove the current one and create a new one.
If you have to do that, there are different steps depending on whether you have a POP account, an IMAP account, or a combination of both, so let us know before you do anything so we can give you the correct instructions.

Apple Mail won't send invitations when initially closed

I just started using iCal to send invitations for appointments through Apple Mail. When Apple Mail is opened already when I create the appointment and click Send in iCal, it works fine. The mail is sent and delivered to the appropriate address.
But if Apple Mail is closed initially, the application starts and the invitation is queued up in the Outbox but is never sent. I can manually open up each invitation in Mail and send them individually, but why is the behavior different? Whether Mail is opened or closed when I send an invitation, it ought to deliver the invitation automatically. By not being sent, I may not realize the invitation hasn't been delivered, making the process very error-prone. Is there a way to guarantee the invitation actually gets sent without having to check the Outbox every time?
Is this an iCal bug or an Apple Mail bug? I saw no settings in Apple Mail for sending messages at shutdown or any other setting like this. Instead, these invitations may end up being buried in my Outbox for a very long time before I notice and by then, it may be too late.

Hello Bill,
Who is your eMail provider, the part after the @ sign?
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.

Mail won't send to Yahoo Japan

When I try to email my boyfriends PC, Apple mail will not send the message. It tells me to ensure I have entered the address in correctly, which it is, but it will never send the email.
His PC address ends with @yahoo.ne.jp
but I can email his phone address, which is @d8.dion.ne.jp
Anyone know why Apple mail won't send to yahoo?

For some reason, Mail prevents sending to multiple
addresses (if they're in a group) if you've indicated
in "preferences" (under "composing") that you do not
want addressees' names to be shown in the "to" field.
The only way to send to a group is to allow the names
to be shown.
I, and others, have mentioned this ever since Mail
arrived. Apple has not yet fixed the
bug.
This royally bites! I had this same problem before, and was told that by upgrading to Mail 2, (Tiger), it would fix this!
I sure as heck don't want all the names listed, that is very unprofessional.
Will it work if the addresses are "shown", but are in the BCC window?

Mail won't send mail when in wireless mode but works fine when wired

Ok, this happens all the time. I have several pop email accounts, all of which work fine when I am hooked in to an ethernet cable, but Apple Mail won't send any of my outgoing mail form any of my accounts when i'm am working wirelessly.
I always get a message like:
Cannot send message using server smtp.name.net
I try to switch servers and I cycle through all of them, getting them same message, followed by things like:
The server response was: 5.1.2 Bad or missing RCPT domain k39sm5757680wah
Any advice.

Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same), uncheck (disable) the rest of network port configurations and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
You may use “network locations” to more easily switch between network settings if necessary, as described here:

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
