Mail won't connect to SMTP server when using wireless instead of ethernet

I receive the following error message ONLY when I am online via a wireless connection, but not when I am online via an ethernet cord:
*This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered. The connection to the server "smtp.XXXXX.com" on port 2525 timed out.*
(note that XXXX is just the name of my mail server that I've removed for security reasons)
I am able to receive email fine regardless of whether I'm using a wireless or ethernet connection.
Any thoughts? I've occasionally run into this issue before (at coffee shops and such) and think it may have something to do with the type of wireless connection (too weak, low security, other?) I'm particularly stumped about this one though since it's simply the wireless network at my college which has worked fine in the past (though perhaps they did change something?)
Thanks!

That's because the internet provider whom you are connecting to via wireless is blocking that port/server address as a security measure.
Unless you have an account with whom the host is, you wont be able to send emails...
you could try setting the outgoing port to one of the following you could have some luck, no guarantee's though...
21, 25, 5521, 5525, 7721, 7725
hope that works

  • Versamail won't connect to SMTP server

    I can receive by versamail email from pop.sbclgobal.yahoo.com but can't send email via smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com.
    After trying to connect to the SMTP server the E3 tmes out and I get the following error message. "unable to connect to smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com please verify your server name entry."
    I have the correct server name.
    Post relates to: Tungsten E2

    I think that a common problem with the inabaility to send mail is that the incorrect SMTP port is being used. Historically, port 25 was used for "plain text" transmissions, but this is falling out of favour for obvious reasons. Port 465 is commonly used for "secure" (read: encrytped, SSL) SMTP transactions. If you need to authenticate (via a name/password) in order to send your mail, you probably need to use port 587. Hope this helps.

  • Apple mail won't connect to Gmail server!

    I am not sure exactly what has happened.  I have a year old MPB that is the glitchiest apple product I've had.  Mail slowly stopped connecting to the Gmail server and says my passwords are incorrect.  I have checked, rechecked, and even changed my passwords to ensure that the PW is not incorrect.  I have three gmail accounts and some of them worked up until today.  I cannot tell if this is a mac software issue or a gmail server issue.  I've been having some odd issues with my MBP so I would count that out as the culprit.  I double checked the files in Library/Preferences against an older backed up version and they seem to be intact.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 

    Mine stopped wotking on the 9th, under the mail app on the left hand side, if you have triangles with ! marks in them, perform a left click and start "Mail Connection Doctor" This may help pinpoing the issue.
    Mine is failing at trying to connect on port 143.
    This worked for me, go the accounts settings window and in each gmail account enter the following info
    Advanced Tab
    IMAP Path Prefix enter [Gmail]
    If you then tick "Use SSL" this should make the port 993
    Authentication shold be set to "password"
    Then save these settings, finally email is received, hope this helps.
    Let is know how you get on.

  • DSL Connection Very slow ONLY when using wireless router

    My DSL connection was running super slow (approx 136 Kbs) - I disconnected the Linksys wireless router and plugged by DSL modem directly into the computer.  Then my internet speed increased to 1.4 Mbs (a 10 fold increase).
    Any suggestions on how / why my speed drops so extensively when using the Linksys wireless routher (wrt45g).
    Thanks

    Are you using the same test each time to measure the speed?
    The reason I ask is that Windows usually reports its download speed in KB/sec (Kilobytes per second).  But most web (internet) speed tests report their speed in Mbps (Megabits per second.)
    A 1.4 Mbps line will typically pass data at about 140KB/sec.
    To help determine what kind of problem you are having, do the same speed test in 3 different ways:
    1)  Connect one computer, by wire, directly to your modem
    2)  Connect one computer, by wire, directly to your router  (all other computers and network devices should be off).
    3)  Connect one computer, wirelessly, to your router  (all other computers and network devices should be off).
    Report back your results, and also, please state what line speed you are paying for.  Once we have this, we will hopefully be able to help you. 

  • Pr CS6 won't connect to DL server when importing sequence

    Pr CS6 will no longer import sequences from another Pr project. The Import Premiere Pro Sequence dialog box opens and at the bottom it reads "Connecting to Dynamic Link server..." and stays that way for about 1-2 minutes. Afterward, in that same text location, it reads "Connecting to Dynamic Link server failed." Clearly Dynamic Link is broken (at least on my system: Windows 7 x64 Ultimate), since my AME also doesn't work when I send a job to it from Pr via Queue. It says it can't find the project file, even though it is there, but failure seems to be with Dynamic Link in that instance as well. This all USED TO WORK FINE, until apparently an update broke something. So much for interoperability.
    Is anyone else seeing this issue?
    UPDATE:
    I have resolved this problem, thanks to another poster on this forum who discovered it. It was the NVidia nView Desktop Manager applet that was breaking dynamic link. I think it has been enabled for a long time, so perhaps a recent CS6 update broke dynamic link in conjunction with nView, but at any rate, disabling the nView Desktop Manager applet solved the issues with dynamic link. I can now import sequences from other projects and use AME to queue jobs. Yay!
    Hope this helps others. If you have an NVIDIA graphics card (Quadro, etc.) this may be the solution.

    Mark,
    Sure! When I open Creative Cloud on my desktop, on the Home screen, there is an Activity Stream. On that stream it lists what apps have been updated and when. I have an entry that says "You updated Premiere Pro CS6 46 days ago" and a little later another one that says "You updated Premiere Pro CS6 98 days ago" then another one that says "You updated Premiere Pro CS6 Family 170 days ago", etc., etc., These are, of course, mixed in with other updates to my other apps in the MC (e.g., Ae, Ps, In, Fl). Since I knew that the last time DL worked was about 130 days ago (when I completed my last project using DL between Pr and AME), then I could see that (based upon the above), that Adobe had updated my Pr CS6 at least twice since that time.
    I do not recall messing with nView, and don't know why I would have anyway, but can't say for certain that I didn't enable it during that time. However, there is definitely an issue between DL and NVIDIAs nView applet that should be resolved by the two of you, especially since the card I'm using is 'approved' by Adobe, and I used the Adobe specs to build my system around CS6.
    But any credit for this solution should go to the lone poster who actually discovered it back in July, gagneh, in his post here: NVidia nView incompatible with AME & PPR (Connecting to Dynamic Link Server timeout). Perhaps you or someone should post a sticky (if possible) to this issue for NVIDIA users with a descriptive search friendly title. There is really no telling how many of your users are suffering because of this, judging from the sheer number of posts I've been through on this forum dealing with Dynamic Link issues.
    Cheers,
    Shane

  • BT Yahoo mail won't switch to new style when using Firefox

    I had to do a re-install as the mother board failed. I use BT Yahoo email. On the home page I get a link "switch to the newest BT Yahoo! Mail". Using I.E. the link makes it change to the new style and I can then make this the home page and it opens in new style every time. Using Firefox nothing happens other than the navigation "click" and a brief flicker and I am still on the old one.

    I am glad to hear that your problem has been resolved.
    If you have not already, please mark this thread as solved by marking the solution.<br>

    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

    Hi all,
    I have entered all the correct server information to connect to GoDaddy's pop server but Mail won't connect. I can connect to the smtp server without a problem. The same settings work perfectly in Entourage, so my information is correct. Has anyone else experienced this issue and fixed it?

    Hello Sue,
    I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
    I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
    It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

  • My e-mails are not sending. "connection to SMTP server timed out." How do I get this working?

    As of yesterday, I am receiving e-mails fine; however, unable to send. Everytime I try to send an e-mail, I get "Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server (my mail address) timed out. Try again or contact your network administrator.
    I received help from lunarpages (they host my domain); however, they were unable to resolve the issue. They suggested something is blocking IP, or need to update Thunderbird, or there's a firewall there...
    Help!!!
    My clients are waiting for responses to e-mails!
    Thank you.

    To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try one of the following:
    *Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
    *Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
    ; If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.

  • Since Update - Mail won't connect to server 50% of the time?

    There have been a few minor glitches since I downloaded the recent update (screen freezes for 2-3 seconds, buttons are non-responsive or overly sensitive), but the most frustrating problem that SEEMS to relate is:
    About half of the time, when I try to manually update my Mail, I get the message: "Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server "imap.aol.com" failed" (yeh, I use AOL...) I haven't seen this message since the first few days after I purchased the iPhone. Now I see it all the time. This happens when I am at home, where I have NO cell phone signal, but do have WiFi (and iPhone Mail loaded at home no problem until this week). Anyone experiencing this or can offer explaination/assistance?
    I have tried powering down (several times on each 'try') and that has no effect.

    Same with me, but now (only since the 1.1.1 update) it happens regardless of whether EDGE is working/available. I keep trying different ways to fix i, but *I KEEP GETTING THE SAME MESSAGE* - _'unable to connect...'_ I turn off and turn back on the specific Network for WiFi and mess around with what I believe will be the

  • My nokia e mail won't connect to server

    My nokia e mail won't connect to server please help i've tried everything i know

    Thanks for your response. 
    I did that already.  I did the full maintenance treatment:  Disk Warrior, followed by Applejack AUTO (which does a permissions repair and caches clean), followed by three PRAM zaps.
    In accordance with Murphy's Law, it started working again about the time your post came in, but it had been hours of it not working after running the aforementioned gauntlet.
    I have my doubts whether it will keep working.  Meantime, Mail is humming along on my MBP.  If you have any other ideas, I'd love to see them!

  • Yahoo Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed

    iPhone 4s with latest version of iOS.
    A few days ago my Yahoo Mail stopped connecting, and I started seeing the above noted error message (Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed.)  While it won't retrieve messages, it will let me send.  So at least SMTP seems to be working OK.
    I've tried deleting it and adding it back, but to no avail.  I've rebooted the phone.  I've and any combination of options found on these boards.  Yet, the problem persists.  Anyone experience something like this before?  If so, any fix for it?

    I contacted Yahoo.  Gave them all the information.  They acknowledged that they are having an issue and that they are working to resolve it.
    One temporary measure that does work with the Mail App.  Add the Yahoo account manually. In other words, click on Other (at the bottom of the list) instead of Yahoo when adding your account, and use these settings.

  • "Mail" won't Connect

    Recently 'repaired permissions'. When opening Mail, 'keychain' now asks for password. This can tend to get annoying so I set (within iTools I believe) the preference to not ask for password everytime I connect to mail. Now 'Mail' won't connect at all. Okay if I go to .Mac. Just won't connect from my comp.
    Trying to get things back they way they were. Excuse my ingnorance on what should be a relatively simple app.

    Any error message provided and if so, what?
    It isn't Mail but the account or accounts not connecting to the incoming mail server. How many accounts are you accessing with the Mail.app and the type - .Mac, IMAP or POP?

    So your saying that you have comcast at home and it works fine from this machine?
    If you mail works fine at home, then if it doesn't work on the road, it most likely isn't your machine.  It is some other problem:

    -- perhaps comcast is preventing foreign mail from working.
