I am sorry to pester you all with this, but I have searched here and on the innerweb a whole lot for several days & I still can't figure out what I am doing wrong.
My wife recently got an iPad Pro and we are both novices with iOS. The iPad has one e-mail address account on it. It is a POP account (how we have all of our mail accounts set up).
In Mail, if we send a message, we hear the Sent sound and see the message in the iPad's "Sent" folder. But, the recipient never receives the message.
I can check on the recipient's device and at the Mail server at the recipient's ISP. The message isn't there. It isn't in the junk mail folders, either. This happens no matter if we try sending a brand new message, a reply or by clicking the Share button from Safari.
The iPad receives mail fine.
While We Are Sure We Are On Line, We Have Tried-
A) Making sure the iPad has the latest software updates.
B) Sending messages to people with various ISP addresses, such as sbcglobal, wowway, gmail, ymail, corporate accounts & more.
C) Carbon Copying new messages to many people to see if one of them gets sent. None show up.
D) Verifying the settings for outgoing mail are exactly as the ISP wants them to be. They match our OS X Mac Mail settings to the letter.
......During original account setup the iPad picked the wrong outgoing port, so we changed it to what the ISP wants & matches our OS X devices.
......Going back to iOS's suggested port didn't solve the problem.
E) Waiting several days to see if the messages show up.
F) Checking on the recipient's ISP's web site to see if the message showed up.
G) Sending from the same e-mail account to the same addresses, but on the computer instead of the iPad. Those OS X-sent messages do get delivered.
I'm out of ideas.
Is there something I am supposed to do with iCloud so Mail will send?
Is iCloud somehow tied to, and required for, Mail sending? My search results say no, but I get really confused about such things.
iCloud is set up and backing up the iPad, so we must have done something to initiate this iCloud account. (As hard as I try, I stay confused about iCloud.)
Is there something I've missed in my Mail Not Sending troubleshooting?
Thank You All for helping out & I apologize if the solution is something obvious that I should have figured out.
