Apple Mail Not Sending Mail Intermittently I have had 3 users who all use Apple Mail on iOS 15 and 16 where at random times email either composed or forwarded does not send. Specifically the email draft or forward makes the swoosh sound and appears to send, however there is nothing in the outbox or sentbox and the recipeient does not receive the email. These are emails with no attachments. I have verified that all email settings are correct and allow all mail to sync is enabled as well as updated the OS and reboot. No change. My only solution to this problem is to use Outlook for iOS which works perfectly and sends every time. Has anyone experienced this or is this some kind of bug? Is there a solution? Thank you, Austin

Apple Mail - can send, can't receive This looks like it has been happening for a couple days (last email received on the 21st). Using my iPhone or https://www.icloud.com/mail/ I can send emails out to anyone (tested gmail.com and work domains) All emails are received by the recipient, but nobody can email to or respond to my emails. They don't get a bounce message and I don't get their emails.... nothing happens. This applies to both my <username>@me.com and <username>@icloud.com accounts. Any ideas for how to debug or fix this? Thanks!

If this is common to all your Apple devices, my guess is a problem with the web email service. It sounds like an outgoing mail server issue.

Can you send and receive from the web email site? If not, it's a problem with the service. If you can send and receive using the website, I suggest you completely remove one of your local accounts on one device, rebuild the account from scratch and retest. If that is successful, do the same on all devices.
