I am unable to send gmail from my iPhone. Receiving works fine. Getting an error related to smtp connection failure. It’s been happening since about a month. Tried to restart phone, delete and add mail account etc. nothing worked. Any help is appropriated.
iPhone X, iOS 14
Hi Kpseshu,
Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today sending Gmail on your iPhone. It sounds like you have done some great troubleshooting already.
Have you seen: If you can’t send email on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Typically removing and adding the account will resolve an issue like this. Did you follow:
"Remove your email account and set it up again
Have you tested sending Gmail elsewhere like the webmail portal?
If you can send mail elsewhere, try removing the account again and also delete the Mail app: Remove apps from iPhone. Restart your iPhone, redownload Mail from the App Store and install Gmail again.
Let us know how that goes.
Have a fantastic day!

Thanks Michael for coming back with few more suggestions. I did reboot my router several times. And I do have MacBook Pro where I use "Mail App" for my gmail and it works fine there. It's just happening with my iPhone X Mail App (iOS 14.3) + gmail combination only. You are right it's nothing to do with iPhone as such but could be the connectivity from gmail smtp server. BTW, it used to work until a month ago. The problem started happening may be after my recent iOS upgrade which I did a month ago.
Kpseshu,
If it's only happening with your router, try restarting it. If it keeps happening, contact the manufacturer. An update may be required.
You can also test with the iOS Gmail app: Gmail - Email by Google.
Test another iOS device on your network would also help isolating the issue.
You can also visit Get Support for a deeper dive if the issue keeps happening with all Wi-Fi networks.
Best of luck!
Kpseshu.
The most current version of iOS is 14.4. Though it may not resolve the issue, we'd recommend updating before going to Get Support.
Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Have a great weekend!
Kpseshu.
Thanks for getting back to us.
Have you tested on another Wi-Fi network? What about cellular data?
Have you confirmed your settings match the ones here: Mail Settings Lookup.
Cheers,
Thanks Michael for your reply. I have tried both the suggestions and it’s still does not work. In fact I am able to send mail from safari based gmail portal. And my Hotmail in Mail app also works fine. It’s just gmail in Mail app does not send, the receipt part is all fine though.
See the error screen shot
Thanks Michael for your suggestions. I see that gmail from my Mail app is not going out when I am on WiFi. Not sure what’s the issue here but send mail works fine from browser based gmail or any other mail vendor such as Outlook from Mail app even on WiFi.
My outbox becomes empty as soon as I turn off WiFi and use mobile network.
Hope Apple Mail App will solve these connectivity issues via different WiFi networks.
