Outgoing e mail messages showing offline

Any suggestions, everyone of my e mail accounts is showing offline when I go to send out an email, apart from one. Receiving messages no problem.

You havenot posted enough information for people to help you. What computer, what model? What Mac OS version? What Mail program?
If your OS is really Win XP as in your profile, there is no general Windows support here unless you have a Mac running Win via Boot Camp.

  • All Send mail servers show offline...POP & IMAP

    So all my outgoing mail servers are showing offline...this includes .Mac, an IMAP company email and POP company email....has been like this for a couple days.
    I get mail okay, all other internet functions seem fine...
    Using a Airport Extreme router...might that be blocking it?
    Have tried a few different ports recommended on other discussions, but no luck so far...
    HELP

    Two things that might help...(mine is working now)..
    1) If you are using little snitch uninstall it.
    2) I ended up removing all my preferences. First go to User>Library>Mail and copy that to your desktop to back up your mail. Then copy all your prefs from user>Library>Preferences to a backup folder. Then delete them. Restart you computer. All your doc settings, etc will be gone but that might fix the issue. Then you can either start fresh or copy the prefs back one by one until you figure out the issue.
    3) If you want to reimport your mail (if you have saved mail on your comp) go to mail>file>import mailboxes and reimport your mail folder from your desktop.

  • Mac Mail accounts showing "offline"

    Hi:
    I am using MacMail (6.6 1510) on 10.8.5. I have two gmail acounts, a yahoo, and two non-web based emails (one is POP, one is IMAP). For several days now, all of the accounts, except the POP (it works fine) are not allowing me to send email. It says the SMTP server is offline. I have trolled these boards for hours looking for solutions.
    I have:
    Deleted the gmails and yahoo accounts and re-added. That worked for a couple hours.
    Shut off my VPN
    Tried every port number suggested in the boards on this topic
    Disabled each account and tried the above
    Disabled Icloud
    My mail works fine with my phone and my Ipad, with the same settings.
    I am not a tech person. I have no tech support and no Genius bar nearby. I have tried everything. I just need my mail to work. My business depends on it. Can anyone help? I have tried switching to Airmail, but I can't live without Mac Mail's rules (and I uninstalled Airmail, in case that's a cause) .
    Thanks,
    Christy

    The outgoing servers are from your local ISP, follow the link in teh message for troubleshooting. It's possible your ISP is experiencing problems or it is also possible you may need to restart your computer.

  • E-mail messages show numbers instead of punctuation

    e.g. when someone writes "I'll come there, we'd all meet" it shows up as I51ll come there, we51d all meet. Not on all messages, but quite a few. Font problem? I'm a brand new switchover from pc to mac, so this is my first post for help (I'm sure it won't be my last). Thanks.

    the Fault Monitoring part in LMs 4.x is still under the control of DFM and DFM is very special with this. If name resolution is not working for a device at the time it is added to fault monitoring, it will be added by its IP address. And this will never change until eternity or - until you remove and readd the device in LMS.
    With LMs 4.x it is not possible to just remove a device from fault mangement so you have to remove it from DCR:
    Inventory > Device Mangement > Add,Import Mange Device
    It is added to LMS again with the next discovery cyle;
    Make a test with one device and see if it helps ( for sure, first double check the name resolution)

  • Some Mail messages show html code

    I am using Mail 6.2 and Gmail IMAP.  Some Mail that I move from my Inbox to another Mail folder part of the message appears in html code in the folder where I moved the message.  The html code did not appera while the message was in my In Box.  If I look at the message in Gmail, no html code appears and the message has the same lable as the Mail folder where I moved the message.  If i look at the message on my iPad there is no html code.  The problem only appears to happen within Apple Mail

    By the way, also, the html code is interpreted correctly by the html tester on the following web site:
    http://www.webtutorialplus.com/html-code-tester.aspx
    So it seems that perhaps a simple edit should make it compatible with Mail App.
    I have verified that all uninterpreted messages where all I see is html raw code, are interpreted and rendered beautifully by the tool at the link above.  All I need do is to coy and paste the body of the message.   So it seems that what is missing is something to trigger the interpretation in Mail App.   Right?

  • Why Outlook email messages show unreadable characters

    When you receive a new email in Outlook, you may see unreadable characters in the email message body. This issue could be caused by one of the following reasons on Outlook client side:
    The email you received is converted to plain text format or a different encoding by a virus scanner. 
    This always happens when you are using characters (Such as apostrophes, double quotes, dashes, and ellipsis) supported by the "Smart Quotes" feature. When the email you received is converted to plain text format or a different encoding by a virus
    scanner, the character is converted from the ASCII character to a Unicode character, which is not supported on the recipient’s side.
    To prevent this issue from happening, we can turn off the “Smart Quotes” Feature in Outlook:
    1. Open Outlook 2013.
    2. Click File > Options > Mail.
    3. Click Spelling and AutoCorrect button.
    4. In the Editor Options window, click AutoCorrect Options button to open the AutoCorrect dialog.
    5. Click AutoFormat tab, and then clear the check box before “Straight quotes” with “smart quotes” under Replace heading.
    6. Click OK.
    The issue may be related to font substitution when a change is made to the Web Options in Microsoft Word. 
    If a change is made to the Web Options in Microsoft Word, registry data under the following key may be configured incorrectly:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Internet\Fonts
    This problem has been seen to occur when the Latin string value under the \Fonts key was empty (no value). 
    We can check the Web Options setting in Word via:
    1. Start Word.
    2. Go to File > Options > Advanced.
    3. Scroll down to the General section, click Web Options button.
    4. Switch to Font tab.
    To resolve the problem, we need to delete the \Fonts registry key. To do this, please follow:
    1. Exit Word.
    2. Press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type regedit and press Enter.
    3. Navigate to:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Internet\Fonts
    4. Right-click the Font key and select Delete.
    5. Click Yes and exit Registry Editor.
    The sender used an e-mail program that did not mark messages with a language encoding (character set), or marked messages with an incorrect encoding setting.
    In this case, we will see unreadable characters when we open the received message in our Outlook. For example, European regional characters (like German) require UTF-8 encoding protocol. So if the encoding in your environment is set to ASCII, the regional
    characters will not be available. 
    To resolve this issue, we need to change the encoding in Outlook to which will display your message correctly.
    1. Double-click to open the message you received.
    2. Click Actions button in the Move group under Message tab.
    3. Click Other Actions > Encoding.
    4. Click More and select the correct encoding setting for the email.
    5. After you finish reading the message, close the message, and click Yes button to save changes to the message.
    When we send an email with Outlook, we can set Outlook to automatically select encoding for outgoing email messages to increase the possibility that the recipient receiving the message will see all the characters rendered properly, even if they run older
    e-mail programs. By default, Outlook 2013 will automatically select an optimal encoding for outgoing e-mail messages. We can change the settings here in Outlook 2013: File > Options > Advanced > International Options section.
    Something you may need to know when you set the encoding settings:
    * The Unicode (UTF-8) character enables the complete range of characters on all computers. It’s the official IANA code for the UTF-8 character encoding.
    * Western European (ISO) and Western European (Windows) character set can be read by almost all computers.
    * If you are using a language other than English, you must choose the correct character set for that language, or the characters you need will not be displayed correctly.

    The "problem" is not really a problem. I send and receive emails fine. But the in the panel between the Inbox (message queue) and the reading pane this is displayed:
    From Mozilla Support Forum <[email protected]> (white star)
    Subject Toad-Hall posted an answer to your question "Why do received email messages show they are addressed to an address other than my own?"

    cfortso@gmail is the address of one of my contacts.

  • My N97 is no longer able to send outgoing e-mail t...

    After a hard reset, my N97 is no longer able to send outgoing e-mail through my Gmail account.  I had to set up my e-mail account again on the N97 after the hard reset. I created the e-mail settings with the mailbox guide.  I can retrieve my e-mail messages but I am no longer able to send a new e-mail message. 
    Now, when I create a new e-mail message (Options, Create message, E-mail) and I select "Send" after creating the message, the N97 keeps trying to connect to my mailbox and gives up after several minutes.
    Before the hard reset, I had no problems receiving and sending e-mail messages on my N97, using my Gmail account. What should I do to make it send new e-mail messages?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Sounds like something is wrong in your settings,
    Either delete the account from your phone and set it up again or use the G-Mail website help to find the correct settings and manualy check and adjust your phones outgoing settings to match
    = =
    I already tried those without working.  I have deleted the account from my phone and set it up again.  Also, I used the G-Mail website Help to find the correct settings and manualy check and adjust my phone's outgoing settings to match.  It is not sending the outgoing e-mail messages.  I keep getting this notice: Connecting to mailbox.  After a while it stops without sending the e-mail message. 
    It wasn't like that before the hard reset.

  • E-mail messages appear, then disappear.

    I've been having e-mail messages show up in the inbox then disappear. It's been happening for months. I use a lot of rules and folders.
    Steps I've taken:
    – Rebuilt every mailbox in Mail
    – Today I deleted the Envelope Index but the problem keeps happening
    – Contacted SpamSieve to see if it might be their add-on (they don't think it is)
    I archive all of my e-mail at Gmail so I can see that every day a few messages get through but don't turn up in my inbox. Any suggestions? Are there some more things like the Envelope Index that I can trash and hope for a fix?

    Andy,

    Gmail can only access from a server that supports POP3 -- .Mac does this, but conceptually it is counter to the philosophy of an IMAP account, which with Mail you have set your .Mac account to be.
    In setting up Gmail to access an account (remember it does so as POP) you have a selection of whether to leave messages on the server or not, and furthermore the instructions for such Gmail access talk about the possibility of too many messages on the server. But that concept is based upon the server being a POP server. Yours is set up to operate as an IMAP account, and in an IMAP account all messages and indeed the entire Inbox resides on the server. If a message were removed from the server it would be removed from the Inbox you are expecting to view in Mail on your Mac. The symptom would be just like a "winking out", as Mail remembers the message was once there, but suddenly it is gone!
    Access via Gmail is just like accessing from another email client or device.
    More info, and confirmation of what you find, please.

  • Add "Sent via" Line To Outgoing E-Mail From TREO 700wx

    I have a couple of users who would like to have the "Sent via" line added to e-mail that they send from their TREOs.  This is similar to the line added to an outgoing e-mail message when being sent from a BlackBerry device.  Is this possible?  I've looked everywhere in the phone that I can think of, but have come up empty.  Any information would be greatly appreciated.
    Post relates to: Treo 700wx (Verizon)

    AS you've seen on the Blackberrys  that message "Sent by my Blackberry" is basically a footer or signature on the message. On the 700wx to set this up you need to go to Start>Messaging>Menu button>Tools>Options and it should open to the accounts tab at the botton with a signatures button on the right side. Click on the signatures button and There you select the account and whether you want to use it for replies and forwarding as well.

  • My Mac Mail is showing my outgoing emails as offline

    I have been using BT Wifi with FON a nationwide hot spot while my home broadband has been set up. Since I have been using my home broadband (yesterday) my outgoing mail box shows as offline. If i log in to the Hotspot it works fine again. Outgoing email works perfectly on my phone and ipad on the home wifi

    Change the name of the computer in the Sharing pane of System Preferences to one that has no spaces, apostrophes, parentheses, or special characters.
    If you have a BT Home Hub wireless router or something similar, you may also need to change the computer name in the router's settings as described by vincentfromcork on page 2 of this thread.

  • Mail preferences show outgoing server offline

    Mail was working fine up until yesterday. Yesterday the outgoing server started to ask for the password which previously was automatic. When I typed the password it was rejected by the server.
    I have 10 accounts in mail that are from different server-names but use my ISP server account as outgoing and incoming server; e.g. xxx.ispserver.jp for all accounts, I can still receive incoming mail on xxx.ispserver.jp but can't send out. Of 10 accounts the Mail preferences show 9 outgoing accounts as Outgoing Mail Server (SMPT) ispserver.jp (offline)
    Also 9 of the 10 servers in the drop down list are all now showing offline in mail preferences.
    Any help with this would be great, how to get the ispserver.jp (online)
    Thank you

    I've had the same problem several times; I am on Comcast cable. Twice, I was told by Comcast to change the port number and that worked (advanced settings under servers) for some time. The other three times, that did not solve the problem. On a hunch, I simply deleted the com.apple.mail.plist (Users - Library - Preferences) and that has worked every time. Bear in mind that you will need to start from scratch when opening Mail after that; I've made screenshots of each and every account setting window in Mail, so it's easy to copy that when needed.

  • The e-mail message could not be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly

    I have a 2 server SharePoint farm.
    All outgoing emails were working fine.
    I just restarted both servers and now after that none of the emails are being sent. I am using OOB publishing workflow and it shows message:
    The e-mail message could not be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly.
    Even if I setup Alert on some list, it doesn't send email.
    I have checked that outgoing email setting in CA is defined and like I said it was working fine without problems but after restart it is showing error.
    What could be the cause of this and how to fix it?
    EDIT
    I removed outgoing mail server in CA, added again and restart IIS but still emails from OOB workflow is not being sent. But email from Alerts are being sent. Don't know what to do now.

    This is really weird, It works when an alert is set but workflows doesn't send emails... Can you create a simple 1 Step workflow in SPD to send an email when a specific field is set. See if this sends an email..
    AJ MCTS: SP 2010 Configuration MCSA: Windows 7 If you find this post useful kindly please mark it as an answer :) TY
    I created a test workflow which sends email to user and it is also not sending email. But I am getting email from SharePoint regarding "variation" page changes as well as alerts which I told above.

  • Mail messages are marked "junk" in the outgoing mail box

    For some time all my outgoing email messages have been marked as "junk" in the sent mail box. Today found that if I do not mark my personal information in my address book as "Me" my sent messages are no longer marked "junk". Does anyone know how I can fix the problem so my personal information can be marked "Me"?
    iMac intel   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  
    iMac intel   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    The following procedure thoroughly gets rid of all the files used by the junk filter, so that Mail creates them anew, and should fix the problem in the cases where the simple procedure provided in my first post doesn’t:
    1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/.
    3. Locate LSMMap2 and move it to the Trash. This file stores information about what does and doesn’t constitute junk, and allows the junk filter to learn. Deleting this file is what Preferences > Junk Mail > Reset does. The file was called LSMMap in early versions of Mail; delete that as well if you see it.
    4. Locate any MessageRules.plist (Mail 2.x) and/or MessageSorting.plist (Mail 1.x) files and move them to the Desktop. This is where Mail stores all the rules, including the rule that governs what the junk filter does.
    5. Locate DefaultCounts and move it to the Trash. This file keeps statistics about the number of messages that have been marked as junk, either automatically by the junk filter or manually by the user.
    6. Look for the account folders. The name of each account folder starts with the account type (POP, IMAP, Mac), followed by the account username and the incoming mail server. Open each of the account folders, locate the Junk.mbox or Junk.imapmbox folder within it, and move it to the Trash if present.
    7. Go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/. Locate any Junk.mbox mailboxes there (their name may include the account name in parenthesis), and move them to the Trash.
    Note: Steps 5, 6 and 7 may be unnecessary. Also, messages in Junk mailboxes with an .mbox suffix are stored locally and will be lost forever as a result of doing steps 6 and 7. If there is a chance that you have legit messages there that you want to preserve, either try skipping those steps, or move the messages to another mailbox in Mail first, or move Junk.mbox to the Desktop (to be imported back later) instead of to the Trash. Junk mailboxes with an .imapmbox suffix aren’t a concern because they are stored on the server and Mail would rebuild them automatically.
    8. Open Mail. As a result of removing the rules file, the junk filter will be disabled now. You may want to either tell Mail to go offline immediately after opening it, or shut down the Internet connection before opening Mail, to prevent it from downloading anything until the junk mail filter has been enabled again.
    9. Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail, enable junk filtering, and configure it however you wish.
    10. Go online again if you went offline in step 8.
    If the above solves the problem and you don’t have any rules you’d like to preserve or recreating them is not a daunting task, just trash the rules files that were moved to the Desktop and be done with it.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.
