Mail will receive email but will not send. Recent change of broadband provider. Help!

I've recently changed my broadband provider. My email address is provided by my previous broadband provider (although it was obtained seperately -prior to - my broadband deal). Since I've changed my Mail still collects mail from the email address provider but is no longer sending from Mail.
Funnily enough if I send an email direct from this provider they send without any problems.
I've checked the preferences and nothing seems to have been altered.
Confused.

Do I understand this as saying you changed "broadband providers", i.e., ISP's, and you are trying to send and receive email through your old ISP's mail servers?  I hope I misunderstood that because you of course need to use your new ISP's mail servers.

  • Mail receives email but does not send

    Hi,
    I've just started to use Mail and am now using it to send and receive an email account that I used to run through Thunderbird on my Windows machine.
    Mail can receive email for me, but it won't send it. When I try to send email, first I get an error message:
    “... does not appear to be a valid email address. Please check the address and try again.
    Then another:
    This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
    Verify that you have addressed this message correctly. Check your SMTP server settings in Mail Preferences and verify any advanced settings with your system administrator.
    What's the problem? The settings are the ones I've been using for years. This is the only thing in OS X that hasn't worked yet!
    Any help would be great.
    Cheers,
    Phil

    Hi,
    I just thought I would jump in here because last night I starting having this same problem. I have used Mail for years for my POP accounts (I have about five that I access through the program). I can receive mail; however, I cannot send it. I receive messages like:
    "The server response was: relaying mail to hotmail.com is not allowed"
    When I try sending the mail through my .mac server, I receive a message that tells me I am not recognized as a .mac member.
    However, I can log into my ISP webmail and my .mac account just fine.
    I have tried deleting the account and readding it; this hasn't made a difference to the outgoing error message. I use my ISP server to access email, etc. The Server Port Number I use is 110 for the POP accounts and 143 for the .mac, and I have selected None for authentication. There is a discrepancy in server ports. In the general account information settings, the server number is 25; in the advanced account settings, the server number is 110. Changing both numbers to 110 hasn't made a difference, and I cannot alter the port setting in the advanced settings.
    Additionally, I can send email to myself or any of my accounts through my ISP--it is only messages to email addresses with different ISP's that I cannot send messages to.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

  • Aol receives email but does not send emails.

    I was having a problem with my AOL account set up on my droid's and could not send emails out.  I went all over the web and could not find an answer.  I went to Verizon store today and I kid you not an hour later we got it to work.
    Go to app menu the lower middle circle triangle
    go to settings
    go to accounts
    click on AOL email
    go to outgoing server
    smtp.aol.com
    port-465
    username
    pass
    and check both squares
    use secure connection and verify cert..
    I hope this helps someone too!!
    Good luck!

    Thanks for that advice, and I'm glad it worked for you.  When I first got the Droid X, I had a problem with my AOL mail not getting to my phone quickly (sometimes it took a day or longer), and occasionally, the mail would not send.  I started using K9 email app from the Market, and the mail gets to me within a few minutes (most times) and I've had no problems sending mail. 

  • Receive Email but Can Not Send

    I have a new iPod Touch 3G 32GB. I am unable to send mail on Road Runner. I can receive mail with no problem. RR says the problem is that I can not choose "no password" in the advanced outgoing mail server options. Apple tech says there is currently no fix for this. Anyone else having this problem?

    There is a "fix" in the next to last post in this string: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10489778&#10489778
    The real problem is RR but this seems to be a plausible workaround.

  • Exchange Server 2007 OWA users can receive email but can't send

    Hi,
    I have an Exchange server 2007 in an SBS 2008 environment with POP3 connector configured and working fine , smtp send mail connector configured. 
    Now users can connect to OWA, receive email but cant not send.
    smtp connector works fine from Outlook client. Tried to track the emails from exchange server management console and I get the
    SEND DELIVER SUBMIT TRANSFER.
    The emails go to the sent items folder, but it never reach the recipients.
    Have been troubleshooting for a while without succes. Any help will be most appreciated.
    Regards
    Faisal

    POP3 is a single mailbox client mail retrieval protocol, not a mail transport protocol. 
    Any attempt to use it as a mail transport protocol is a great big kludge. 
    Exchange is designed to connect to the Internet using SMTP.
    No version of Exchange has a POP3 connector.
    I recommend that you post this in the SBS Forum:  http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/smallbusinessserver/threads

  • Mail will not send messages. Help please: it receives OK but parks my outbound stuff in either Drafts or Outbox

    Mail will not send messages. Help please: it receives OK but parks my outbound stuff in either Drafts or Outbox

    Thanks for your answer. Apprciate it very much. Just prior to receiving your email, I got back online. However, as I had tried what you suggested (and a lot more as I am 'reasonably' competent), and had been so doing since yesterday afternoon, I do believe that what you suggested was correct - that it was my third rate ISP that was at fault.
    Nevertheless, many thanks once again.

  • Mail will not send mail, only receive.

    I have spent the majority of today re-installing OS X and all necessary updates, music, data after the death of a hard drive. Luckily everything went perfectly, except for the same problem I had with Mail even before the 1st hard drive died. Mail will not send mail, only receive.
    All efforts time out and give me this message: "The connection to the server mail.earthlink.net on port 25 timed out"
    Mail used to send messages, but stopped suddenly in 2004 and has yet to start again. Any idea guys?! I can't figure it out, under Account settings I have necessary fields filled in: Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) is set to "mail.earthlink.net", Server Port is set to 25, and Authentication drop menu is set to None.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    --DANIEL

    This is NOT a problem with Mail or OS X. This is an incorrect settings problem - garbage in = garbage out and this information is certainly available at Earthlink's website and Earthlink also provides technical support.
    Earthlink has an authenticated SMTP server they changed to long ago.
    SMTP Server: smtpauth.earthlink.net
    Server Port: 587 but 25 should work if you are using Earthlink as your internet service provider for connecting to the internet.
    Use SSL: Off or not selected.
    Authentication: MD5 Challenge-Response
    User Name: Your ENTIRE Earthlink email address.
    Password: The account's password - the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages.

  • Mail will not send or receive. It intermittently stops working. Why?

    Mail will not send or receive. It intermittently stops working. Why?

    I had problems with sending emails from one server in particular, however, I would ask if you have gone to the page of your server and found specific instructions for configuring your mail. My iMAC would not send out emails, so I went to my (Italian) server's page and solved the problem.
    It was not sufficient to let the MAC wizard connect you up with your server, and, indeed, MAIL invited me to consider installing the server's email manually. So doing, my problem was solved.
    Your server's page should have a list of email programs (cf Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) , with instructions as to how to configure them. Look for the item referring to Macintosh Mail, keep it in background in order to go back to it as you configure your mail.
    My problem was that I could not convince Mail to accept the out connection, but when I eliminated my server entirely in Mail's Preferences, I added that server once again: Mail told me that it could not safely transfer my password and asked me if I wanted to set up the site manually. I clicked on manual, and found very precise specifications as to the number of the port to be used, then instructions on how to find the menu for the out mail, with a particular number I had to insert in the drop-down menu they specified.
    It was not as complicated as it sounds here, but requires patience.

  • My mail will not send emails

    My mail will not send emails.  I can recieve them but it will not send.  What do I do?

    POP or IMAP? Make certain that you have your outgoing server, whether POP or IMAP, set up correctly.

  • Mail will not send on 3g but will on wifi

    Outgoing mail will not send while going out on the AT&T network(3G) but rather places a copy of the email in the outbox and sends it within seconds after it connects to any wifi network.  AT&T doesn't have a clue about anything to do with the iPhone, I know, sad huh.  The email proxy settings were synced with my iMac that uses the exact same settings with no problem.  I have done a full restore and have the new software installed and have restarted the phone several times.  Any help will be appreciated.

    Who is your email provider?

    The amount of RAM is not dependant on the operating system. It is all about the model of you Mac.
    10.6.8 is the version of OS X that is installed on your system. It has no real baring on the amount of RAM that CAN be installed.
    Personally I have never had good luck with Corsair RAM. I have always had good luck with Crucial and Kingston.

    Yes I have turned imessage off a number of times and that does not seem to he doing the trick, and it is not delivering them then I have to press on the photo and either chose try again or send as text message, I have had the setting on to not allow sending pictures as texts (so they can only send as imessage) since I got my phone in January and it has always worked until now, I have turned that off to allow me to send them as picture messages now but it's still not working over iMessage, I have also tried it using 3G and not wifi

  • Mail will not send but thunderbird will

    I have two mail programs: mac mail and thunderbird.  Mail will not send mail, but Thunderbird will. Any suggestions?

    Yeah stop trying to make Mac Mail work and just use Thunderbird. You really don't need 2 Mail programs.

  • Mail will not send

    Hi, I've had my iMac some time now but have only just set up the 'mail' option. I have definitely put in all of the correct details for all of my email accounts. I am able to receive email but it just will not send out any emails - from any of my 5 email accounts!
    When I check the mail connection all is green (except for one of the outgoing servers for one particular email account). So why will it not send from the other outgoing server when it is green?! I use an iPhone and an iPad and my mail on those is fine (using exactly the same settings).
    I have updated the software (as recommended by Apple for this particular problem) but it has made no difference. Every time I try to send it says 'Mail will not send with server...'
    It's driving me crazy! Please help! Thanks.

    This may not help, but a few months ago I was trying to send a message to members of my professional organization, but kept getting a similar message. I exchanged correspondence with Tech Help at my server to no avail. I thought the problem might have to do with the quantity of receoients, so I started deleting a few at a time from the list and resending. All of a sudden, it worked!
    I finally narrowed it down to one address that had been preventing the message from going out. After I deleted and exactly retyped the address, I never had another problem. Never understood what had happened.

  • TS3276 Mail will not send from any of my accounts & connection doctor indicates that I am connected

    Mail will not send from any of my accounts & connection doctor indicates that I am connected

    When did this start?
    What specifically happens when you try to send Mail?
    Are you able to receive mail from all of the accounts? any of the accounts?
    Are all the email accounts with the same provider?
    In Console > All messages search on Mail and see if there are any error messages
