SMTP server list empty

Hello all,
After the latest update (10.10.3 Supplemental Update) and restart, the SMTP server list from my Mail is completely empty.  Is there any way to get this back without having to reconfigure all my accounts?
Thanks in advance,
Nishita.

Having the same problem here - were you ever able to resolve the issue?

  • How can I control SMTP server list in Mail?

    I've seen a lot of discussion about e.g. deleting servers, but it often includes smug replies like "click the delete button" when there is often no such button. I have found a possible 'get around' to this particular problem by changing the server data to something that doesn't exist, save that, then select the server again from the list and hey presto, there is now a Delete button you can use. But again, that is not the full story because if that server is used as the primary server for any other account, you cannot modify the data.
    Not only that, but you CANNOT simply swap servers so that e.g. an account uses one of the other servers as its primary server. Unless I'm missing something major here, it is NOT possible to move servers. You can change the data for the server to be exactly the same as another server, but that just means you now have an identical duplicate. Once a server entry has been created, it is an independent data entity.
    So I seem to have several problems here.
    1. A server cannot be deleted if it's in use as a primary for any account.
    2. Servers cannot be moved, i.e. swapped between 'Primary' and 'Other'
    3. Simply editing the server data does not 'merge' it with any other entry that may have the exact same data.
    4. When creating an account, you cannot pick the outgoing SMTP server from the list of ones already created. Simply entering the same data as one that already exists may use that existing server, but may create a new duplicate. I have seen both of these occur and once there's a duplicate, you cannot get rid of it.
    I want 3 accounts to all use the same 'Primary' server and also have the same 'Other' server. IOW, only 2 actual servers. After the first 2 accounts are created, that's what I have. Somehow they seem to be able to 'share' the same servers. But when I create the third account and enter the same data for its SMTP server as the others use as their primary (i.e. exactly the same process as when creating the second account), for some reason it does NOT use the existing matching server and I now get a third server created. I simply cannot get around this since whatever I do, each of the duplicates is used as a primary and so cannot be deleted. If I could swap them around so that the third account was using another account as its primary, then I could delete the duplicate and all would be well, but as pointed out above, that's not possible.
    I'm hoping that I'm simply wrong about all this and it is actually possible to do what I currently believe it impossible. Can anyone explain how to actually control this server list?

  • Mail 5 and SMTP server list

    Hi,
    ever since my upgrade to OS X Lion, I've noticed that the usage of the SMTP server list in Mail 5 seems to have changed. In the past, said list contained ALL configured SMTP servers. When configuring e-mail accounts (e.g. MobileMe) you could specify a default SMTP server from the server list and check a checkbox to ONLY use the specified server for outgoing mail of an account.
    In Lion the meaning of this server list seems to have changed and I think I have discovered a bug that prevents me from using only a specific SMTP server with an account.
    For accounts that are supported by Lion and listed under the "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" Preference Pane, Mail 5 seems to always use a default server setting for outgoing mail. For GMail, this default server seems to use SSL. However, for MobileMe the default server is not the service's SSL SMTP server.
    Sending mail on non-SSL ports is a problem for me for two reasons:
    1.) Obviously this a security/privacy issue.
    2.) I'm a student and when logged into my universities network I can't send e-mail on default e-mail ports (25). Our servers block any outgoing e-mail on ports other than SSL/TLS ports.
    So far this shouldn't be a problem, because you should be able to overwrite Mail's default server by configuring another MobileMe SMTP server with SSL in the server list and checking the checkbox depicted in the below screenshot.
    Unfortunately, whenever I select the SSL enabled MobileMe SMTP server, activate the checkbox and save my changes, Mail will revert to the the default SMTP server without SSL immediately. If I delete the default server from the server list, it pops up again after saving the changes. There seem to be just two ways of sending e-mail using a different server than the default one:
    1. Don't check the checkbox and specify the SMTP server for each e-mail you want to send.
    2. Send using the default server. If sending the mail fails (because I am in my university's network), select the SSL SMTP server in the trouble-shooting popup.
    Option one is annoying. Option two still bears the security/privacy problem and is annoying, because it takes ages for Mail to accept that a server does not seem to work.
    There seems to be no way of fixing this behavior and I have it on both iMac and my Macbook Air. Is this a bug? Do you have any suggestions for a fix?
    Thanks a lot,
    Felix

    Felix,
    I agree, I think it is a bug. My wife is experiencing the exact same issue on her MacBook after upgrading to Lion.
    I submitted Mail feedback tonight to Apple. I hope they get this fixed pronto. My wife prefers Mail to the web interface or using her iPhone for mail. Thanks for explaining the issue.

  • Cannot edit outgoing SMTP server list in mail.app

    Did a fresh install of Snow Leopard on a new 13" Macbook Pro unibody and was trying to add an IMAP email account. After failing to connect, I was trying to specify the outgoing port and realized that I could not edit the outgoing SMTP server list.
    Steps to reproduce error:
    1. Open mail.app
    2. Go to Mail > Preferences
    3. Select "Accounts" tab and select any mail account
    4. Select "Account Information" tab and click Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) drop down menu
    5. Select "Edit SMTP Server List..."
    After that point the instead of opening the list of servers with their settings, it simply returns to the "Account Information" screen. I'm a bit confused because I've never had this happen before in any other version of mail app. I cannot edit or delete any outgoing mail server accounts because of this. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration.

    This should not happen. Had you migrated back to the fresh install the Mail folder in User-Library? Or is this a clean setup? I would go to User-Library-Preferences, and drag the com.apple.mail.plist to the trash, then open Mail and try again.

  • Cannot edit the smtp server list in Mail (Yosemite)

    I am trying to edit the smtp server list in Mail.  I am running Yosemite on my MacBook Pro and always get this message.
    "The servers marked with alert icons are in conflict and cannot be saved. Two servers cannot share the same address and authentication settings. Resolve the conflicts and try again."
    There are no alert icons displayed!!! And I can not  delete a server.
    I need to change some smtp-settings and cannot edit anything.
    Any ideas?

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Accounts.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Relaunch the application and try to recreate the account settings. If there's no change, quit again and put the item you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the item you moved.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select

  • SMTP server list

    In my email settings for my isp account there are 8 SMTP servers listed. All have the same settings and all are grayed out. I have intermittent problems getting mail and would like to whittle this list down, but there is no edit function. How do these get on the list, I have never added another server.

    I've never seen any grayed out, but I do see that I can't remove the ATT one.
    Others say they can't be removed because they are set as the primary for one or the other of my mail accounts.
    If I go to those mail accounts, and set the ATT one primary, then I can
    delete the ones I don't want.
    When adding a new mail account, you can select a smtp server from one already there, instead of adding a new one each time. So if you use two Gmail accounts, you only need one smtp server (plus the ATT one).

  • Reseting SMTP server list.. how?

    Hi,
    I've updated my SMTP settings in my account within Mail, but I've still got the old list when trying to send mail - ie when the popup box says 'cannot send mail using selected server' - the list of servers i can chose from are all old.. and i need to basically clear them from the cache.
    any advice?
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Hi,
    go to Preferences/Accounts. On the bottom there's a pulldown menu called "SMTP-Server". Click on it and choose "Edit Server List".
    This is loosely translated from my german system so the options might be named slightly different...

  • Deleting SMTP server list

    Hi ,
    every time something goes wrong with my Hotmail account, I delete it and re-add it to my iP. However, it seems to be adding a new (or rather the same but a copy) outgoing SMTP server to the list rather than using the existing.
    Any way to delete and just leave the active one?
    Thanks very much.

    Thanks Allan, that is the problem-the option to delete is not there.
    When I go in to this mail accounts' settings, then into 'Outgoing SMTP server', the primary server is 'ON' but 'Other SMTP Servers' are 'OFF' (although they are the same)- I can switch them on and off but cannot clear from the list.
    Any further advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • How do I delete multiple copies of a SMTP server under iOS 7.0.6 on an iPhone 5S?

    I have a conflict in trying to set up email using the iPhone mail application.  I had to change the password for the email account, which was done via the host's control panel.  I am able to send and receive mail (POP) via the computer and logging in through the provider webmail.  I have deleted the mail account multiple times on the iPhone and keep getting an user authentication error when setting up as new.
    The only was to fix this was to revert back to the password originally in use prior to the change.  The provider was watching the log files as I tried to change the settings on the iPhone and also was seeing the user authentication error when using a new password.  Once I changed it back to the old password, all worked fine.
    They think that because there are now multiple instances of the SMTP server listed, that the login is actually pulling the info from the old SMTP server info, even though all the others are turned 'off' in the settings.
    I can find no way to permanently delete all the instances of this SMTP server so that I can set the account up as totally new.
    How do I do this?
    Thanks.

    Are you sure they are on the device?  Sounds like they are just in iCloud. Do they have a cloud icon next to them?  If they do they aren't on your device and as such not taking up space.  If you don;t want to see them you can go to Settings->Videos->Show All Videos and turn it off. This will hide all your iCloud movies from the videos App. but again they aren't really on your device.

    Thanks.
    Unfortunately that's not something you can change. To see the titles you need to tap on the movie. I guess Apple assumes the cover art already has the name so there is no need to repeat it.

    Hi
    You need to check with your ISP whether or not the send mail server (SMTP) requires a password.  Some do, but many do not.  When you know the correct password to send mail, then you need to tell Mail as follows:
    Mail menu > Preferences > Accounts > Select the account
    Click on the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) combo box, and select Edit SMTP Server List...
    In the Account Information tab put the server name
    In the Advanced Tab, set up the authentication information from your ISP.
    Good luck

  • Server list corrupt?

    System Leopard on Powerbook G4 and Mirror Door
    ISP AT&T originally yahoo sbcglobal.net
    We have had this account for 5 years and have had problems spread over that time with having our "reply to" email be something other than the default [email protected] We have had to verify our email addresses at least annually. A headache but we have managed to keep things working.
    Recently, Mail began to fail sending... it would offer a selection of servers we and after several attempts the mail would send and we would receive a Error 553 message. So this is looking like a problem with AT&T? Maybe but maybe not entirely?
    I think it may be partly a problem with Mail because we are not having the problem with our laptop... only the desktop and because the SMTP server list looks wrong.
    The Connection Doctor shows I have 6 server addresses. In Mail preferences I am only able to see 3. The 6 include 3 that I had deleted many months ago. If Mail is trying to use these, it might explain the problem. I have tried running the applescript Manage SMTP servers... it shows that all are being used... Not so! I think I need to purge every setting Mail ever had and start over. How do I do this? Do I need to save my mail messages to keep from losing them?

    because that is an easy solution !
    Realy... I try to use the config options before do a hard solution.... I think that may be there are others that need this setup, and can be good that pacman could handle this.....
    Today I detect another problem.... The desktop host don't have the share active, from the laptop try to install ruby and first sincronize.... custom can't sincronize (ok) and sicronize the others.....Show me ruby-1.8.0-1 and ask to install.... press enter and fail saying:
    :: Retrieving packages from custom...
    failed copying /mnt/net/arch/ruby-1.8.0-1.pkg.tar.gz
    I never download ruby before, and for what not try with the others repositories ??
    The custom repository, custom.pkg.tar.gz, was created from a full abs, not a local one... this is the problem.... May be gensync need an option to generate a custom repository from a directory, the packages have a .PKGINFO that have the dependencies and other data.
    I take a look to gensync and I think there isn't problem to add a param to generate from a .PKGINFO instead a PKGBUILD.... I will made a test and post one update here....
    But the problem with the repository could be with the online too I think... Pacman may think that all the repositories have the same files, but if one not have one or there is a problem, he try with the next repository ??
    c'u and thanks

    1) Mail menu | Preferences.
    2) Select problematic account in list on left.
    3) Select "Edit SMTP Server List..." from Outgoing Mail Server drop-down.
    4) Fix username by appending domain name

  • Using two gmail accounts in Mac Mail client, smtp server issue

    I've set up two gmail accounts (one personal, one from my job) in Mac Mail. The personal account is set up via POP, the job account is IMAP. I receive mail into each account with no problem. However Mac Mail won't allow me to set up two separate smtp.gmail.com servers (one for each account). If I edit my SMTP server list and try to change either account individually, it changes BOTH accounts. So I can receive with no problem, but can only send mail from both accounts from ONE account (which ever one I've programed). Is there a way to set up two SMTP severs through gmail (one for each account)?

    I have two separate ones set for password authentication to two different accounts.
    In your smtp server list, how many are listed? If only one, click the add button and set it up for the other account.

  • TS3276 Outgoing smtp server 'offline'

    My outgoing smtp server is correctly configured yet shows as 'offline'. How can I put it online?
    Thank u.

    Assume you've solved the problem yourself or it corrected itself but if not try going into your mail preferences and the account settings.  For each account you can edit the outgoing SMTP server list.  Go into the advanced settings for the account showing offline.  Even if there is a password stored, retype the account password and click OK.  The account should go back online.

  • Setting SMTP Server for POP Acct in Mail

    I can't seem to set the smtp server properly in an account for my personal (cf business) email -- this one's a pop server. I keep getting a rejection message, and the smtp server line in the setup window reads something like "server offline." My business email (Exchange) works fine.
    Suggestions re what I may be doing wrong?

    Did you happen remove that account then recreate it?
    If so, there's a slight bug in Mail:
    Removing an account In Mail Preferences / Accounts, it does NOT remove the corresponding entry in the SMTP server list window. This SMTP server list window is found- ACCOUNT INFORMATION / Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): pull-down window "Edit SMTP Server List" and you'll find the removed account's SMTP server information.
    Recreating the same account, Mail would crash every time. Recreating the same account is only possible after editing and removing the SMTP server from the list.
    Removing an account would remove the account and related mail boxes okay, but not the SMTP Server List.
    So, try removing the account, and also remove the corresponding entry in the SMTP server list (described above... click the - symbol on the bottom of the window ), then recreate it.
