iPad and iPad 2: The Most Common Email Questions Answered

One of the neatest capabilities of the iPad and iPad 2 devices is email. You can now stay in touch with the world via this device that is smaller than the average magazine. Who would have ever thought? Despite what new iPad owners believe, the iPad's email app is fairly simple to navigate and use. It just takes a short tutorial and a little bit of getting used to and you will be an emailing pro in no time.

Once users feel confident in using the email app on their iPad, they often experience a little problem that brings their "iPad confidence" down to almost nothing. Don't let this happen to you. Here are the answers to some of the most common questions asked by iPad users when trying to use their email app.

"I am receiving emails, but my iPad 2 won't let me send any emails out. How do I fix this?"

This situation typically occurs when you are trying to send an email that is provided by the same company that provides your internet (ISP). These accounts are a little trickier to set up, in comparison to setting up Gmail and Yahoo accounts on your iPad. You will need to go back to the account details in the "Email Settings" area of your iPad 2. Click on the "Settings" app to get there.

Make sure all of these setting are correct with your actual email account. Look at the SMTP, which is the outgoing mail server details, correctly. This is usually where iPad users make a mistake. If you still can't send emails after verifying this information, you will need to give your internet service provider a call and have them troubleshoot your account.

"Why am I missing message in my email account on my iPad?"

You can likely blame your POP3 email account for this issue. An example of a POP3 email account is a Gmail or Yahoo account. These are different than an email account from your ISP. The reason this is happening is because your email account is downloading these messages to your computer before your iPad. This causes them to only show up on your computer, as opposed to the iPad.

To fix this problem, start by opening up your email account program and navigate to the settings. You should be able to find a "delete from server option under a category like "tools" or something similar. Make sure this option is not checked. You don't want your emails to be deleted from the server. You won't experience any more deleted emails once this change is made.
