iPhone doesn't send emails - no error message

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 had the issue with gmail and exchange. According to the mails log it did not have enough free memory. So i closed all apps, and then sending worked; could well be a memory issue (I have a 4S).

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.

Where exactly do you find the cell provider server tab?

Try doing the latest update first.

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...

I had endless problems with my new IPhone 6s as emails would not send. They stuck in the Outbox. I went to Apple store Genuis bar, I spent hours on the phone to Apple support. I went to my phone provider EE. All useless. In the end my university IT support helped me. He deleted ALL accounts (not just the problematic university email account), and put in a new one using 'other', retyping the password in each time (don't let it load it up automatically). It was incredibly annoying, time wasting, and frustrating. There is clearly a problem with the IPhone in this respect. I have had Samsung Galaxy for years and never had any problems like this - more functionality, better screen, easier to use. I only bought an iPhone this time so I could access ITunes on it. My advice - don't buy an IPhone, buy a Galaxy and save yourself hours of stress.

My advise? My advise would be not to listen to what he said ^^^

In the end, any android device you get will be nothing but endless fiddling, and headaches. And android devices are one giant security risk. Probably because the reality is when you get an android device, you aren't getting the product, you BECOME the product. Unfortunately android devices are used for the exclusive purpose of collecting as much information about you and your surroundings as possible so they can sell it to Google's real customers—the advertisers.

Don't believe it? Do a web search for google, android, malware, and data mining just over the last month and tell me that's something you find attractive.

PS - I think by the rapidity and fear mongering of Ed M.'s response, that he is an Apple employee monitoring criticism of their products. Incidentally Ed M. its probably best not to assume that everyone in the world is male.

You seem to be going out of your way posting on an Apple forum. I notice that the Galaxy devices are riddled with not only the same issues, but many more that are unexplainable. Why aren't you actively posting to their forums? Are you a Samsung employee?

Same proble here. Started when I updated to IOS 10. The only way I could fix it (temporarily) was uninstalling Mail and installing it the day after. It happened againd a few days later...
