iPhone doesn't send emails - no error message

The temporary fix is to restart the device.

We at our company are connecting via ActiveSync (Exchange), not gmail. The common denominator is the mail app and it happens on iOS 6 or iOS 7. I have reported this and other mail app issues using the bug reporter, but have had NOTHING back.

The biggest problem with this is that the user isnt aware of the issue at any point, and cannot anticipate it happening (no warnings or errors).

Other mail app issues noticed:

- audible alerts dont work when new email arrives if the sending issue is happening.

- Sending email (with or without attachments) when the device is in/out of signal causes corrupt and incomplete emails to be delivered, and sometimes multiple copies of it delivered.

I am still having the SAME Problem.

I type a long email on my phone. After composing Email, I press SEND button. No-one receives my Email and I cannot see my email on SEND Items. I try to send email from my other Account on Iphone, I have the same problem.

As a Temporary fix, I restart my MOBILE, it's working now.

What is the Problem to my MOBILE😟? It's time consuming for me to check SEND Items after sending email everytime.

Anyone have solution for this?

I am having a problem when I send emails but the error message I get after a long pause (and already hearing the sound like it was sent successfully) is that my message could not be sent because my email password was incorrect. I have not changed my password and this is the same email account I have been using every day for almost 3 years. I went into the settings and re-entered the password but it still wont send. I also restarted my phone, deleted and readded the email account and I still have the same problem. Please help!!

Ok guys I have a fix for this problem that Apple can't help you with! Go into Settings, then Mail, then the account you want to fix. Tap the Account tab, scrool down to Outgoing Mail Server. Turn Off your primary server account. Then find your cell provider server and turn it on!

This fixed my phone and my wife's that hasn't been able to send since September....

Same problem here. Happens often when I'm at home and have the WiFi on, but doensn't get better if I turn WiFi off and use 3/4G. Outside home I have never got this problem. And all mail accounts I have work fine on my Mac.

I have this problem too ever since upgrading to ios7. So frustrating and costly! I need to be able to reply any time anywhere for my job. This also happens to all my mail accounts - not just exchange.

I sent 9 emails this morning before I realized it.

I've had the iPhone since 3 months after it came out but I'm going to have to make a change as much as I hate to.

I can't risk losing my job.

Linkmadman - I'm not following your suggestion but i would love to try it. Are you in outlook settings when you do this? I don't see any tabs in mail settings on my iPhone.

Maybe I can convince apple to put my phone back to ios5. I liked google maps much better back then too and my mail worked - never had an issue.

Other new mail issues with iOS7 - it used to search my exchange server for the search feature and now only searches downloaded emails. Huge setback for me.

I thought I was the only one who had this problem. Has anyone found a way to fix this yet. I read some of your responses and I don't know how to create a new outgoing server connection. It's asking for a outgoing server host name and username plus a password. I don't know what to write in any of these spaces so if anyone can help me out I would really appreciate it.

Incase this helps anybody, I took my iPhone to a Genius and was able to fix it.

I'm running iOS 7.0.6 and couldn't get Gmail/Google Apps accounts or Exchange accounts to send. Same behavior as described here.

The fix we came up with was manually quitting all running applications, then restarting the iPhone. Evidently restarting the iPhone does not free up all memory on its own... you first have to quit all running applications (double tap home button, swipe up on each app so that it disappears).

Note also that here were other issues with similar behavior in previous iOS versions... those were fixed by iOS 7.0.6, evidently. So first upgrade your iOS device's software. Then try quitting all apps and restarting.

I hope this can help somebody else. Good luck.

Go to Setting, Mail then choose the particular email then click on Account. Retype your password. I managed to resolved it this way realizing I changed my password a week ago without resetting it in my iPhone. Hope tis help.

Go to Settings / Mail / choose the account for the e-mail you want to use then / Outgoing mail server (SMTP) / Primary Server / Now FILL IN the username and password for the e-mail! That's it! It says it's optional but mostly without it doesn't work.

Regards!

Same here, iPhone 6+ (the supposed "business phone"), trying to send Gmail emails with the iOS mail app. SOmetimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

LOL: I misread at the bottom of the page "Return iPhone"* and I thought: Yes!

*instead of Return to using iPhone.

Summarized: what a shame. A phone with the price of a laptop that can't always send emails...
