Cannot send emails after iOS 7 update

duplicate

FIXED FOR ME ! I had 4 centurylink mail accounts (@q.com) on new 5s (set up by restoring from my 4s which was working fine) and getting the same as everyone. Called Verizon, who called Apple and Centurylink. No help from any of those.

I set up a new account for one of my gmail accounts (never on my iphone before) and it had no problem.

FINALLY (READ TO THE END) after reading all of this thread, on one account, I turned off the SSL and verified the port as suggested earlier. When I did, and clicked done, it told me my password was wrong, so I typed it in, hit done, and it verified and all was good. Mail could be sent out on that account. Same steps and password warning on the next account. So I got curious and went to a third account and only erased the User Name and retyped it in and typed in the password and BINGO, it worked as well. I did not have to touch the SSL setting (which was on). So I got more curious and went back to the first account that I had gotten to work and turned SSL back on, hit done (dont forget that little step at the top of the screen) it verified and all was still working, it didnt matter whether SSL was on or not. So far it appears that you just need to go to settings, mail,contacts,calendars, select your account,Outgoing Mail Server, SMTP, then probably Primary Server, erase and re-enter the User Name and Password. You have to hit done, and while backing out there will be another place to hit Done. Missing both of those "Done's" might have been a stumbling block for some of you earlier. Maybe when the info got picked up during the IOS upgrade or whatever, a binary letter got swapped and still looked the same on screen, but was sending a wrong character to the server. Whether or not that is true, this worked on the rest of my accounts. hope it does on yours!

All of a suuden I could not send email out from my Iphone 5S; comcast account. Comcast customer service failed miserably to address the issue , several attempts to change the ports did not work. This is what I did to fix the problem:

1. Change your comcast e-mail password (you have to do this)

2. incoming mail: use port 110 SSL unchecked

3. Outgoing SMTP; use port 587 SSL unchecked

It works, and you don't have to pay comcast $49.95 to get Xfinity support!!

Using Earthlink email through iPhone 4 and all of the suddent it failed. It was working fine through iOS 7 updates 1 & 2 and then failed.

Somewhere in the thred someone mentioned resetting the OUTGOING server password. This exact step worked for me too! All is well (for now!)

Just spent the evening installing the "latest and Greatest" IOS 7 update....still cannot send outgoing emails on verizon account. Went thru the delete and then reenter the email mail account info....same problem. Come on Apple ...get a fix !!!

And Apple is still turning a blind eye to this very serious issue. And yet their stock keeps rising.....WHY??? Apple = tomorrow's Microsoft.

I went in to setting and reset the OUTGOING messge password and it fixed the problem.

Good luck!

same, unable to mail out pictures but non-picure emails work fine

Nice job Apple. We're already on the 3rd update for operating system 7 and still no fix for these email issues.

This is what worked for me

Hi - thanks for tip re turning Primary Server off. I turned it off, activated the second one on the list (even though it was the same server details as the primary), entered my password only and lo and behold, I can now send emails from my iPad again. Just as an observation, my iPad (1 year old last week) upgraded to IOS 7 okay but the recent "bug fix" release 7.3 was what I reckon messed it up.

I went through all of the steps... nothing works.

This just frustrates me to no end. Since upgrading to iOS 7.0.3 I've spent literally hours trying to resolve issues. I don't know what to do???

Be sure when you are going through settings, don't stop at the password for incoming messages. Go onto out going, then SMTP, then erase and reenter the name and password there. Again, as you are backing out be sure to hit done in the top right corner. Don't just clear out of settings.

Thanks. It now seems to be working. I erased and re-entered name/passwords several times for both incoming and outgoing... initially to now avail. But then, it worked?? Wow - I just don't understand how Apple gets away with this. But I really appreciate your help!

I noticed that since the ISO7 update I can only send emails when my wifi is shut off and the cellular function is on. I think it's crap and apple needs to fix this 'glich'.
