Email is being a bitch ever since the update - iPhone 3G

DMcGrew · 08-03-2007, 01:35 AM

For whatever reason my email has been very weird ever since the firmware update. Sometimes I can receive but ever since the update I can no longer send email. I've deleted my account and re-entered all of my server, user, and pw stuff and nothing seems to work. It works fine on my PC though so I'm guessing its definitely a problem with my phone. I also tried it on wifi and edge.. same results. I have no idea what is wrong. I am doing a restore now to see if that fixes it.

It's funny: email is much zippier for me since the update. There was a known lag before the update where emails take a couple of secs to be displayed. Now it's gone. Sorry about your problems.

My email is working fine. The "push" feature doesn't work all the time, but i don't believe that has to with the phone. I believe that is a yahoo issue.

Grrr it just worked ONCE and now its back to being SCREWED again.. I didn't even touch any settings. ARGHH!!!

UPDATE: Ok it seems as though I can only send email to myself. If I try to send an email to anything other than my own account I get the "The connection to the outgoing server "mail.myserver.com" failed." This is VERY weird.

well at least your works somewhat. after i did the update i can't even connect.

it just reads connecting... forever.

and to make it worse when i deleted and readded the email it saids Exchange Account Verified but still does not work. NOT EVEN ONCE since the udpate.

ARGHHH. I have a call into apple support and they are contacting the development team for me.

I don't think it's related to the update. Ever since I got my iPhone I've had trouble with outgoing IMAP SMTP. Sometimes I can send, sometimes I can't. Same settings, but it'll tell me I've got them wrong and then 20 minutes later it'll send just fine. Not sure if it's an iPhone issue or if IMAP is just being crappy.

Anyone have any ideas on what to do???
