iPhone/iPad can't send emails with images via Verizon Router
Dufel
Newbie

HI there,

My iPhone and iPad (both using 6.0.1) work fine when connected to the Verizon DSL router.  Both internet and emails are ok. 

However it won't send an email that contains a photo, even a small one.  (Works fine from my computer and also via the iphone and ipad when logged onto my neighbours non-verizon DSL, and also when connected to wireless when I'm out and about.)

Basically it tries to send the message for about 5 minutes, then just sits in the outbox with an error message. "A copy has been placed in the Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed."

Any ideas anyone?  Guessing it must be a Router issue.

(By the way this happens from 5 different email accounts..mac, google etc)

Thank you

Robin

By default, do you know what port the phone set up your outgoing e-mail with? Failing that, do you have the Firewall enabled on your modem by any chance?

Morning,

Port is 587 and firewall is off.

Thank you
