iPhone can't send

[Flo...@gmail.com]

More or less starting Thursday this week, my iPhone has become unable
to connect
to the imap gmail server to send mail. I have checked the settings
and they seem to
be correct (and were working before this happened). I get mail
forwarded from my other
2 accounts just fine.

Is there a troubleshooting guide?

I am having the same issues with my Samsung i760 Smartphone. I can
receive emails, I jsut can send them...i get an error.

[miself]

Me too. Get an SMPTE error when sending on my iphone, though it
receives email just fine. I wonder if there's another send mail
server for gmail(maybe POP) that we could use instead. This sucks.

POP is actually only a way to receive messages, not send them. You have to use the SMTP server to send... what's the exact error you get?

"Cannot Send Mial
The connection to the outgoing server "smtp gmail.com" failed"

I get this message any time I even open gmail from iphone.

I'm not sure if that is an exact duplicate of the message, but if it
is it looks like you're missing the first period in "smtp.gmail.com"

Make sure you have everything set up as described at
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13287, including
the port and encryption settings.

ya my iphone suddenly became unable to send email (gmail) within the
last week also

i get the same error message - "Cannot Send Mial
The connection to the outgoing server "smtp.gmail.com" failed"

i've tried everything at http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13287,

including
the port and encryption settings.

apple? google? at&t?

Why are you using POP on an iPhone? GMail continues to gush over how
great GMail on the iPhone is with IMAP. Have you tried switching to
that?

[Ryan Morehart]

I'm sure that at least one Google employee is using it over AT&T.
However, I do not know personally anyone who works on anything at all
related to Gmail at Google, so I don't exactly have insider knowledge.

I saw the same symptom...it had been fine for a week, and now there
is no answer from the SMTP server. I'm using an iPhone, with the
latest firmware, not hacked, in the SF Bay Area... Is this a regional
DNS issue maybe, since I can send fine using the web interface... or
was someone fooling around with the incoming load balancing algorithms
for the SMTP cluster that I figure is behind that simple name?

As a follow-up, it appears that a WiFi disconnect may have corrupted
my outbound message...

I was a guest WiFi, but without a password when I composed the
message. When I couldn't send it over wifi, I disabled WiFi, and I was
able to collect my email...I didn't notice the outbound message hadn't
been sent.

I tried composing other messages, which is when I found that
outbound was failing, but email reception and web browsing worked
fine.

After my original email, and more checking, I found the local Google
WiFi node near work, and associated with that. All of my pending email
(except for the first message) were sent. I deleted the corrupted
message, and disabled WiFi, and all has been well again. Strange, eh?
