Ipad will not send mail

Frustrating! Don't worry, I'm here to help you troubleshoot the issue. Here are some steps to help you resolve the problem:

Check your internet connection

  1. Ensure your iPad is connected to a stable internet connection. You can check your internet connection by opening a web browser and trying to load a website.
  2. If you're using a cellular connection, check your data plan and ensure you have sufficient data available.

Check your email settings

  1. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
  2. Ensure your email account is set up correctly. Check the "Account" section and make sure the account is enabled.
  3. Verify that your email address and password are correct.
  4. Check the "Outgoing Mail Server" settings. Make sure the server is set to "SMTP" and the port is set to 587 (or the recommended port for your email provider).

Check for email account issues

  1. Try sending an email from another device or app to see if the issue is specific to your iPad or your email account.
  2. Check your email account's settings on your email provider's website to ensure there are no issues with your account.
  3. If you're using a third-party email client, try using the built-in Mail app on your iPad to see if the issue persists.

Reset your Mail app

  1. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
  2. Tap "Reset" next to "Mail" (not "Reset All Settings").
  3. Confirm that you want to reset the Mail app.

Check for software updates

  1. Go to Settings > General > Software Update.
  2. If an update is available, install it to ensure your iPad is running the latest software.

Additional troubleshooting steps

  1. Try restarting your iPad to see if the issue resolves itself.
  2. Check for any pending updates for your email provider's app or service.
  3. If none of the above steps resolve the issue, try resetting your iPad's network settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings).

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may want to contact your email provider's support team or Apple Support for further assistance.
