Unable to send email

Quannie — Wed, 06 Dec 2023 18:47:54 GMT

for some reason, I can receive emails on my bell.net account from anywhere, but cannot always send emails. Not sure why, and bell has not replied to my requests for assistance on this.

Any feedback from someone who has encountered this would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi there @Quannie,
Welcome to the Bell Community, and thank you for posting.
Can you share what happens when you try to send an email? Is it just when you try to send to a certain email address, or is this affecting multiple email addresses?
Are you accessing your email via Bell Webmail or a third party email client such as Outlook?
What type of device/browser are you using, and are you able to test on an alternate device/browser to see if the issue persists?
We hope to hear back from you soon.

Forwarding email from iPhone Outlook app is not sending

Frustrated in Toronto — Thu, 07 Mar 2024 12:22:03 GMT

Hi,

so i tried to forward an email from my Inbox to my kids- on my iphone outlook app. It showed as “sent” for me, both kids didn’t receive it- including in Junk.

i resent- same result.

i sent a test emai to myself- received.

I forwarded the 1st email to my sister- she didn’t receive it!

i then logged into the Bell Webmail webpage- and forwarded from there to kids and sister. All received.

however, when i check the Sent folder on the webmail- it is missing all of the today’s unsuccessful sends from the phone, plus random months of my other sent emails!! They are there on the phone app’s Sent- but not in the Webmail Sent. And now sending from the phone is hit and miss? What’s going on?!

Cell Phone unable to send email

Megan1 — Mon, 18 Mar 2024 18:02:48 GMT

When I try to update my account settings I get an error message that says "IMAP server does not support password authentication. Please check your account settings and try again." Do I need to delete my Bell email account and reload it?

Some changes have recently been made to e-mail requirements to access Bell e-mail.

You can read the minimum system requirements and other information here.

WelshTerrier — Mon, 18 Mar 2024 20:31:13 GMT

Could you provide a few more specific details?

You are trying to update your account settings? What device are you trying to do this on? Manufacturer? Make Model? OS or iOS? Windows, Safari, Chrome, etc.

Have you tried this from a another device or a computer?

Are you logging in from a web browser or email client such as Outlook, Apple Mail, Google Gmail?

Have you made any changes to your system? Is your operating systems up to date? Apps current? Have you rebooted whatever you are using by doing a complete power off then back on after 20-30 seconds? Have you cleared your cache, cookies & history?

Have you reviewed the minimum system requirements as suggested earlier by @Vanadiel ?

The minimum system requirements and other information are included by selecting:

Take care.

not able to send mail

kitty416 — Fri, 09 Aug 2024 20:38:21 GMT

I have a sympatico account that I use on my computer and iPhone. I can send and receive on my computer, but can only receive on my iPhone, and cannot send. My iPhone keeps telling me to enter a password only after I try resending the message. I've entered the password several times and it still doesn't work. any ideas as to what could be the problem?

Thank you for your question. to set your e-mail up on your iPhone, you will need to follow the directions found here.

Using Bell email : Email server settings

If you want your mail synchronized across your devices, use IMAP. If you want to read them on your iPhone but download them later on your PC, use POP. Both devices have to use the same protocol.

I have the same issue. I did look at the trouble shooting page, email is good, seems this is a Bell problem and the fix on the troubleshooting page is

If the email address looks correct, you can try sending your message again. If it still doesn’t go through, contact the recipient another way.

Funny this is why I have email, it is convenient. Cable fib is coming down the street, NOT Bell I'm afraid.

Hey there @jackd,

Thank you for your post.

Can you clarify what happens when you try to send an email (e.g. do you get an error message)? Does the email eventually send successfully? Is this affecting a certain address that you are emailing or is this happening to other emails as well?

How are you accessing Bell email (through a third party email client such as Outlook, or directly on our website)? If you are accessing your Bell email through a third party email client can you send a test email while logged directly into Bell Webmail to see if the same thing happens?

We hope to hear back from you soon,

@BellPatricia

I am still using Sympatico. Occasionally when replying to an email, a window opens ' an terminal error has occurred' . and thats it, I have found that even when I save the mail in my drafts and try to resend I get the error. I have closed the mail and reopen and then I can send ok, sometimes.

I can receive but not send email from my bell email on iphone. I keep getting message username or password incorrect but i am using correct info.

Re: Can't send email

BellPatricia — Fri, 06 Dec 2024 21:22:24 GMT

Hi there @Saphi

Thank you for reaching out to the Bell Community.

Can you clarify if you are logged directly into Bell Webmail, or if you are using a third party email client?

We recommend that you update your password, and be sure to update the information on each device where you have saved the password as well.

Please try that and let the Community know if you are still having trouble.

I have no issues with my email on laptop (use Thunderbird), no issues with my email via webmail - I only have issues with sending emails from my bell account in my iphone mail app - I can receive emails to my phone but not send - I have checked passwords to ensure correct and still have an issue.

Re: Can't send email

BellPatricia — Mon, 09 Dec 2024 21:30:38 GMT

Good day @Saphi

Thank you for your reply.

Did you also update your password, and ensure that the password information is updated on each device where you have saved the password? If any devices have outdated password information it will cause this type of authentication error.
