Can’t send email over 4g from iPhone

I have followed every suggestion I can find on the forum to make emails send when not on Plusnet Wi-Fi.  They used to work, but no longer.  Anyone got any more ideas?

@blacksmithsyard Welcome to the forums. I assume you have authenticated your mail? Which client do you use?

Plusnet and yes I assume so as I'm not sure what authenticated means!

Re: Can’t send email over 4g from iPhone

When you are at home, do you use an email program on a laptop/desktop - if so which?

Authentication is when you effectively say 'OK, I'm not at home, but I can still use my Plusnet credentials to send from this device' - needs setting up on your email program, though, which is why I asked which email program you used - when at home.

Presumably on an iMac or Macbook?

OK - I only use the stock mail app on my phone - I assume the iMac has a full program? I know nothing about them.

@Mook - any ideas?

Not from me @jab1

I do use Apple Mail on my iMac but I've never installed it on my iPhone or iPad simply because I've never needed to.

@dvorak may well be able to answer this one. As an aside would the question be better served if moved to the Mobile forum?

OK, @Mook - I just recalled you were an Apple hardware user, sorry.

Maybe @dvorak will spot this now you've tagged him?

No harm done @jab1 for what it's worth I do think that tagging someone in a post to bring it to their attention is a good thing.

Sadly not @Mook - I don’t use the stock mail app nor PN email address.

Hi @blacksmithsyard,

Is your device fully updated to the latest software update and have you tried turning it off for 30 seconds and then back on again?

Well I do have the latest update and I thought I had done the on and off routine but tried it again, left 30 seconds as you suggested and now it seems to be working! Many thanks to you and everyone who tried to help
