Cannot send emails after iOS 7 update

Same here. After many trials and tribulations the outgoing emails are now functioning . VERY FRUSTRATING PROCESS !!

Thanks for all those who also suffered and helped with their solutions.

Dear Apple

You may have 1 million apps but email is almost universally accepted as the most useful one, and thus you should be providing much more guidance around the problem you created with ios7.

I suffer from this issue and by deleting my mail account, restarting the phone works, BUT it is a temporary fix only ie I have to perform this every few days which as u can tell from my tone is extremely frustrating! If any kind users can help that would great, whilst Apple (who are increasingly losing my loyalty) ponder, procrastinate, **** take, prior to properly providing support.

Just delete and put the same pasword again fixed it for me.

1 week and counting....

Go to settings > mail > select the account > again account > then delete pasword and put it back in again.

Fixed it for me.

I have Gmail, Icloud, Local account and Exchange account.

All working now...🙂

Thanks SJP. Yes that does work but then the problem recurs a few dats later - I must have deleted and reinstalled 10x now!

We are having issue on our iphone&ipad and can't fix problem yet.

- Cant't send e-mail bigger than 10-15 kb (also attached mail) and there is no error message, mails are lost after press the send button.

We are having this issue on the 30 device.

We re-installed some devices to test but does not work.

Fdgsn - can you clarify please- what is the "30 device". When you say 10-15kb, that would affect most email? What is expected timescale to fix - if its more than a few weeks, I will consider buying another phone.

We are using these 30 device in our company and all of the devices have same problem. We can receive mail and no problem. When we try to send mail if the mail size is bigger then 10-15 KB mail can't send and don't give any error message.

- We are having this problem since 20 October.

We tried to many things to solve the probelm but can't fix it.

Another day - another reset! Dear Apple - i am considering reverting to enveloppes, letters & postage stamps - more reliable & quicker than your ios7!

Dear Apple

I notice you are more effective at editing my 4 letter word p*** than providing any support for the problem. Please can you consider helping let down pleading customer?

It seems that the problem is to do with either gMail Token or port 465 that isn't (always) working...

The way to solve the problem is the following.

1) Deactivate gMail's eMail in "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" ;

2) "Add Account" > "Other" > "Add Mail Account" using the following :

your@gmail.com Email for address and username ;

a) Receiving : Using IMAP the receiving server is "imap.gmail.com" SSL port 993 ;

b) Sending server is "smtp.gmail.com" SSL port 587 ;

Of course make sure that IMAP is enabled (from gMail webpage under top right gear "Settings" then "Forwarding and POP/IMAP". If you use 2 step verification be sure to generate a specific password for that device.

PS : you could setup the account using "Exchange" and "m.google.com" for server but this is very unofficial.

The real problem from Apple is that they lock changes to the "sending" server if configure using the "userfriendly" "Google" choice under "Add Account". I believe to avoid further problems they should allow user to change the default settings and for friendlyness add a "Reset to defaults" button while manually editing the Google account... This would always enable user to use their Internet provider or company specific mail server instead of Google as the Mail app isn't switching from the primary to any "other SMTP servers"...

I can't send goDaddy emails since IOS7 update. I have no problems sending on my PC with the same account settings. Changed nothing on my iPhone 5. Have tried all options, inlcuding resets and and deleting and re-installing the acocunts. Any fixes out there?

Gmail is the only email that is affected on my iPad. I have to delete it, then restart the iPad (soon to be someone else's "i"pad) and then rebuild Gmail about 3 times a week. And still nothing from Apple.

Notice over 46,000 views on this thread and not even a peep from Apple to at least acknowledge the problem and say they are working on it!

This worked on my iPad - go to that email's account settings, turn off the "Primary Server", scroll down to next server on list, turn it on and then enter your password. Remember to click "Done" each time. Good luck!

No work for my case

I hope apple fix this asap...the update really get me on my nerves
