Can't Send, Reply or Forward email from iPhone

Hi All:

For some reason I can't send, reply or forward email from my iPhone. It was working yesterday. It is synching fine and I can receive and read email but I can't reply, forward or send from the iPhone. I am using mobileme and my standard comcast email account. I am thinking that maybe I messed something up in mobileme? Or perhaps the kids changed a setting on the iPhone? Any direction is much appreciated!

iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

I'm having this same problem with my email through Yahoo. I'm receiving messages just fine but cannot reply, forward or create new. Was working up until 2 nights ago. No settings have been changed. Help?

[I reposted this from another thread...]

Okay - I got it working!!!!

Here's how: First update your ITunes to the latest version (in my case that was to 9.0.1). Then Update your iPhone software to the latest 3.1.0 (which recently came out in September 2009) ...

That did it.

One side note: I had a weird problem downloading the software to my system... I kept getting a Quick Time.msi not found problem and Itunes not found, though I could go in through programs folder and open it. I eventually found the fix for this too... you have to look for "Install problem - Says feature is on an unavailable network resource ; Posted: Feb 11, 2008 6:18 PM" in Google Search and open the CACHED version. It's an archive Apple support folder... it tells you to download Windows Install Clean Up and then delete QuickTime and/or Itunes from there. (I could not delete from Add/Remove programs would get same error message.) ... Once i did this, I was able to update Itunes & QuickTime and then update my Iphone application. Now everything works, even DRAFTS that I lost showed up once I entered into my mail program on the iPhone!!!

I'm so happy!

Did you figure out how to fix this? I have a gmail account and like others, my email syncs, but I can't compose a new message nor forward or reply. Is this a gmail server issue or an iphone issue? how do I solve?
