Why does my Samsung Galaxy Tab receive emails but won't send them?

[AC Question]

Samsung Galaxy Tab, will receive emails but wont send

I can send & receive using my G-mail account, but Since I added the same account to the email on the Galaxy, it sent emails (albeit slow ), for 2 days, now will only receive, wont send.

The settings are the same as i used for PC & gmail.

Have never had trouble with issue like this before until the last few weeks. The Internet is extremely slow, even wifi & Bluetooth connections will not hold, always dropping out & it seems to be worldwide , no matter which country i have been in.

But maybe thats for another discussion thread.

Welcome to Android Central! Are you using the stock Email app to access your Gmail? How well does the Gmail app work? Have you tried removing the Gmail account from your Email app, then adding it back?

Which exact Galaxy Tab do you have? Is it LTE-enabled, or wi-fi only?

G.day. Tks for the reply. It's a Galaxy Tab S. ...ĹTE.. The Gmail side of it works great.
It's when I added my business email to the stock email tab that's in the Tablet is when the challenge begun.
I have also deleted the account from the stock app and re added.but still same deal. Will receive, but won't receive.
Cheers

Is your business email an Exchange Server, or an IMAP/POP3 server? Can you get the exact settings from your work, and confirm that they're entered correctly in your Email app?

Hi again.

Yeah the business email is a POP3 setup. Have used the exact settings for both incoming & outgoing as per records.

I dont know why it should work on the gmail app ..using the same address & settings, yet wont work on the stock email app... Its only the sending side that is not working..

I'm having the same issue with my Samsung galaxy tab pro and note3.

Can receive emails great but can't send. Get "server not available" error or just sending message failed.
All of this happened after the last firmware update to lollipop. The devices that have the old firmware still works great!!! All email settings are identical. Tried everything but no go!
I was told to reload the old version kitkat but I would loose all my data. A tough decision to make!!!
