IMAC: What is the SMTP outgoing mail server?

You need to get that information from your internet service provider if you are using an email address provided by them or, if you are only using iCloud, then the info can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
FWIW, in order to set up email, you need both an incoming and outgoing server address (in addition to your email address/user name and password). Those are the servers your email program uses when sending or receiving emails.

  • What is the smtp incoming mail server for iCloud?

    What is the smtp incoming mail server for iCloud?

    There is no such thing as an "SMTP incoming mail server." You set up iCloud mail by checking the box marked Mail in the iCloud preference pane. You don't need to know the addresses of the servers.

  • Why doesn't the smtp (outgoing mail server) change on switch locations

    It would seem to me that when you choose Apple, locations and then select a new location, the Mail program should know that it should use the new smtp server.
    I have dsl from at&t or the old southwestern bell. They have blocked sending to any other smtp server on port 25 while I am at my home.
    I know how to switch them and recieve the prompt when it fails to select a different server. I know how to do this. However, other people who I have converted to the Apple platform, are displeased that it doesn't know to switch. This person is not technical and doesn't want to be technical.
    In their terms, they just want it to work.
    For right now, I told her to go into preferences, accounts within mail and to switch back and forth. I told her I would find a better solution.
    discussions.apple.com shows a lot of people complaining about outgoing mail but not a lot of solutions on switching back and forth.
    Anybody have any suggestions? I still think that when you switch the location, it should change your outbound smtp server.

  • HT201320 What is incoming and outgoing mail server and server port number

    What is incoming and outgoing mail server and server port number

    See applenerd504 previous reply:
    These specifications that allow you to send and receive messages on your iPhone. If you are using iCloud Mail, Gmail, or another service listed in the selector in settings, they should be automatically configured. If not, you may need to look up certain numbers for your email service.
    Putting it in slightly different terms:
    If you are using a web-mail system like gmail (with a gmail email address) all the mail sending, receiving and management is done on Google servers. In these cases you will only need to have a working internet connection to be able to log in to the service to access its data. 
    Supplying mail sever names and port numbers should only be needed if you are using a traditional (non-web) email account where you are accessing the mail servers directly. This would be typical for a email account set up by someone like your ISP (Internet Service Provider), in these cases you will have to ask them for the appropriate settings.

  • How to change the primary outgoing mail server in iphone

    I am trying to change the primary outgoing mail server from Yahoo to another mail which is my internet provider. I do not know the steps to complete this in my iphone thanks

    If you have more than one email account on your phone, you can change the default account under Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>Default Account. Note that this setting does not appear unless you have more than one account on your phone. So, you'll need to add the email account from your ISP under Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Add New Account if you have not already done so.

  • SMTP Outgoing Mail Server does not use password so I can not send mail..

    Hi All
    Can anyone help me with this?
    My POP email accounts on Hosting.365.ie do not use a password to authenticate outgoing mail. They rely on a prior authenticated download to enable the outgoing mail server.
    On my MacBook Pro there is an option in the SMTP server settings under authentication for "none' and all my accounts work perfectly on the MacBook.
    However my iPhone4 (brand new) and iPad (both up to date) there is no option under the SMTP server settings for "none". I think this is the root of the problem. Has anyone else come across this or is there a workaround?
    Many thanks if anyone has any insights.
    Peter

    Yeah, I don't know why the difference. Interestingly for me, the iOS version in iOS4.2 is "better" than the OSX version of Mail because now I can have more than one Exchange account.
    I am sympathetic with your need to separate your lives. I have a client that accidentally got one of my alternate email addresses and cannot/will not update his address book with the "correct" address, despite my requesting several times over the course of a year. In any case, I don't think there is any way around this other than completely changing your email address. (If not a second Gmail, then Yahoo, Hotmail or other email provider.)
    The only time I've ever seen a "no password" SMTP server was as I previously said, it used a "network authentication" method. Many, many moons ago, SMTP servers often didn't have password authentication so would often be used for spam relaying. Before mobile users, "network authentication" by ISPs was fine since they could figure out which user was spamming since they could trace the IP addr, MAC addr, etc back through the physical link to the user. But with mobile users who change networks constantly, the general trend was to password authentication, even for wired ISPs since their users would want to have access to send mail while away from home. (e.g.: you're a RoadRunner customer, but want to send mail while using your laptop on vacation in Italy.) This "prior authenticated download" I've never heard of anyone else doing.

  • IPad smtp outgoing mail server choices not shown.

    I use one mail Gmail account to where all my other accounts forward their mail. This makes it simple for me to organize 10 different accounts.
    In iPad Mail settings I've setup my main Gmail account with 10 other smtp outgoing servers but when I write an email I don't have the option to select which smtp server is used. In Apple Mail (Mac OS) this system works fine as they have the option to select whatever smtp servers are setup.
    What is the point of having the option in the iPad to set multiple outgoing servers if you can not select which ones are used before sending?
    I know I could setup various POP/IMAP accounts for each smtp I prefer to use but why make it so complicated and waste space and bandwith downloading duplicate messages?
    Has anyone found a solution to this or am I missing something obvious?

  • Setting the default outgoing mail server

    I have multiple email accounts with multiple ISPs. Because I've recently changed ISPs, I'd like my default return address to be a different address than it was before. Is there a way to set the default return address and default outgoing server?

    As already provided, this is done by account - via Mail > Preferences > Accounts under the Account Information tab for the account preferences is where you select the SMTP server for the account, and below is an option to always use the selected server for an account. This must be done for each account.
    Regarding your default return address when sending a message with an account, there is no default selection for this for all accounts. This must be changed by account just as with the SMTP server for each account.
    This is also done under the Account Information tab for the account preferences. What is entered in the Email Address field and Full Name field is what appears as the sending email address and name when sending with an account. The problem is, some email account providers restrict using a different email address to appear as the sending email address for an account - especially when the account has an authenticated SMTP server.
    The Mail.app includes a Reply To: field for the message header for send messages - for entering a different Reply To: email address when sending with an account with a different email address, but there is not an option to have a designated email address always appear and be sent as a default Reply To: email address.

  • Can't switch the primary outgoing mail server for Gmail?

    I recently got an iPad and went to set up my two Gmail accounts exactly how I have them set up on my iPhone: Gmail Account #1 is my original one, and Gmail Account #2 was linked to it later to utilize its outgoing server (so messages sent from #1 look like they're coming from #2).
    On the iPhone, I switched off #1's primary outgoing server and selected #2's. Very simple, very easy.
    But on the iPad, when I go to switch off #1's outgoing server, the only option I have available afterwards is to click 'Cancel' - it won't let me turn it off and select another one!
    The problem seems exclusive to Gmail, as my Yahoo account doesn't have this issue.
    I have a feeling it's an iOS7 glich... I have iOS7 on the iPad, but not on my iPhone. Everything else is set up exactly the same between the two devices. I've tried deleting both accounts and re-activiating, I've tried manually setting them up instead of using Apple's pre-selected system... nothings seems to work.
    Anyone?

    The issue isn't getting the accounts online - both accounts are added and working. The issue is that Gmail forces me to use the primary outgoing server for their respective accounts - I can't switch it off and select another from that drop-down list like I can with my iPhone.
    I am able to switch ON the outgoing server for #2, but the problem is that when I slide the primary server to "off" - the "DONE" button in the top right remains gray and unclickable. Strangely this is not the case for Yahoo - I can select an outgoing server on that account at will.

  • Outlook 2010 Auto Config doesnt tick the "use outgoing mail server auth" settings

    Hi Guys
    I've got a domain here and an auto-config setup for Outlook whereby it goes to a website on the domain controller and downloads an xml looking like this:

    As can be seen, we use IMAP here rather than exchange
    Now, when I go to set up an account, outlook DOES configure most things presented in this XML, but there seems to be a bug in that while it knows and enables "My outgoing server(SMTP) requires authentication" checkbox, it DOESN'T then enable the relevant
    radio button that one would assume <UsePOPAuth> (== use the same settings as my incoming server) intends.. No radio button is checked, which means that mails do NOT send :/
    Here's a pic:
    So, alas, my auto-setup still requires the depeest level of manual interaction to set it up.. i.e. it's fairly useless. I'd say for sure this is a bug in outlook's auto config, but how to report it to microsoft?

  • Anyone know the SMTP (outgoing mail) address for Verizon / Yahoo ?

    Every time I upgrade the Operating system, Windows "Easy transfer" only saves and transfers mail & settings if you use IE.
    I use Firefox / Thunderbird.
    The last time I laboriously found it on this site it was not the correct one for the customers who selected Yahoo as their email server and I have yet to find it on the Yahoo site.
    Isn't "self service" great !!!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I figured it out on the Verizon automated answering irritant whose actual answer is of course wrong.
    They say it's, "outgoing.verizon.net."  It's actually, "outgoing.yahoo. verizon.net" if you chose to use Yahoo for your email.
    It's the "outgoing" part that I was getting wrong.  I was using "smtp."

  • All of a sudden, my Mac won't connect to my smtp outgoing mail server...

    It looks for a connection, but never connects. No issues until this week, it's been working fine for 14 months.
    Settings verifed with the ISP (Cox) but beyond that they were of no help. Mail sits in Outbox and won't send.
    Anyone had this issue and how did you fix it?
    Thanks.

    I would troubleshoot by disabling firewall trying other devices like smart phones or other computers to see if they can
    then I would look in the routers settings and verify using the webmail option that the password was not changed
