iPad receives email, but won't send email

I'm at a loss . . . I can get my email from 3 different email accounts in my new iPad but I can't seem to get the iPad to send email.

Its no doubt that I'm missing something obvious in my settings but I'll be darned if I can figure out what it is. I believe I have all the settings/ports/servers copied exactly the same was as are in my computer.

Can someone help me out? Anyone have this problem?

It is most likely in the SMTP settings for your mail client. It is usually under something like settings but I never touched an apple so not sure where it is on your.

Take it to the Genius Bar. They will get it going for you. On my iMac & Android devices it set everything up automatically. I only needed to enter in my Comcast email addresses and passwords and MacMail did the rest. I would assume your iPad would do the same. The geniuses will figger it out.

Bob, in my settings I had to change the host name to the name of the smtp server to get it to work.

Hope that helps.

If you use SSL, the iPads are really particular on what port you setup for the smpt.

Deleted the troublesome email account, re-entered it and now I magically have the ability to send email.
