Q: I can't send emails on my ipad

If you can receive email but not send it, quite often that indicates that your username and password are missing in the outgoing mail server settings, so check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.

Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

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.

Thanks for this. It's been a problem for me. I've set up my account countless times trying to fix this. Always enetering my password in the "Add Account" box. However you actually have to manually remove the password from the Outgoing Server box and re-enter it to get emails to send.

Thanks Michellis, simple answer that works rather than thread references, complicated steps, etc. I have been struggling with this for a long time also.

Thanks Demo! ...Works great now! Apple needs to fix this. Your are right, it said putting in password was "optional", but it is NOT. Now I just have to figure out how to do text message with non Apple users. Thanks a million

You're welcome. I answered your question here, as well.

Cannot send emails on ipad.

THanks, it helped me.

Thanks this helped me, I just overhyped my new password in the outbound server, it looked like it was already complete but was obviously incorrect
