Maybe I am not among the majority of users, it is a fact that I am not among the editors of Actualidad iPhone, but I like to use Mail to manage my email. The fact is that Mail can present us with some problems, the most famous or popular being the inability to receive push emails from Gmail. As with other email managers, we can also encounter other problems, such as a iPhone receiving but not sending emails.
Al add an email account In Mail from the application itself (the first time we run it) or from the iPhone settings, we can choose to add an iCloud, Exchange, Yahoo! Aol., Outlook.com account or choose the option « other". The most common thing, especially when choosing an option with a specific name, is that Mail configures the account so that everything works as it should, but this does not always work. Here we will explain what to do so that our iPhone can send and receive emails if we experience the problem that our smartphone does not send emails.
My iPhone doesn't send emails, but it can receive them
As we have already mentioned, Mail should configure both servers (Enter and say hello) to be able to receive and send emails from our iPhone regardless of the account that we have configured. If not, what we will have to do is check the outgoing mail server (smtp) from the mail settings of the iPhone. We will do it as follows:
- We open the iPhone Settings application.
- We swipe down and tap on "Mail."
- Now we touch on «Accounts».
- Next, we touch on the account that is giving us problems. It doesn't give them to me, but in this example I'll log into my Yandex Mail account.
- In IMAP, we touch the account, which will show us all the options for it.
- Here we have to check that everything is correct. If our iPhone can receive emails, we have to focus on the outgoing mail server, so we will touch on SMTP which is under "Outgoing mail server".
- In the case of my example, under «Main server» we will see smtp.yandex.com —– Yes. We play here.
- Continuing with my example, we will have to have everything as in the image: Server: activated; Host name: smtp.yandex.com; Password: our password; Use SSL: enabled; Authentication: password; Server port: 587. Each mail service will have different values, but what will change is whether or not to use SSL, the host name and probably the port. This information must be provided to us by the mail service, so it is best to search for this information online (for example, by searching for "configure Yandex mail" in DuckDuckGo) and use it in this section.
- Finally, we will check if everything has worked by sending an email and hoping not to receive any failure.
We can use an official app or a third-party email client
Perhaps this is not the solution that interests us the most, especially for users who like to have everything centralized and well organized, but it can be the best solution if we want to forget about problems. In this way we would also get, for example, Gmail to send us emails instantly, that is, push.
In the App Store there is official and third-party applications that will allow us to receive emails from any server, among which I would recommend many, such as the following:
Microsoft Outlook
It is the official Outlook application that is not only used for Microsoft mail. I've been using it for a while and loved it, but ended up using the next one. In any case, it is a very good option that many users like above Spark.
Spark
My preference. It has many options and works perfectly with all types of mail servers. In addition, it is now also available for Mac and iPad, so we can use your cloud to have all instances with the same configuration.
inbox
If we only use Gmail email, Inbox offers us a new way to manage email. The truth is that it is very interesting.
myMail
It is also a very cool email application that will work with many servers. In addition, it offers us something innovative: a myMail account that we can only access from our smartphone, which also includes recovering the password in case of loss.
gmail
If we use Gmail and we only want to access this server, Google's proposal will work perfectly.
Yahoo
Like the Outlook application, Yahoo's proposal also allows us to manage mail from various accounts and servers.
Newton
I have not used it personally, but it has such good reviews that I could not stop including it on this list.
Yandex mail
As with the Gmail app, if you use Yandex mail you can always use its official application to avoid any surprises, such as mail that does not go out, notifications that do not arrive, etc.
Have you gotten your iPhone that doesn't send emails to do it when it couldn't? What method has worked for you?
