Yet another cant send mail issue

Hi, I am going nuts here!! At home I have Comcast and my dotmac account works via port 25 no set up, perfect. I am now in another house with comcast and I cannot send anything. I telnetted port 25, nothing shows, so I contacted Comcast and they sent me this url http://www.comcast.net/help/faq/index.jsp?faq=EmailMail_(Mac)17798 it seems to have ALL the answers, but I am just going round in circles.
Assume I want to set up for traveling purposes. I set up a new account POP, used dotmac info for incoming mail/server info and for outgoing server I have smtp.comcast.net, I use the 465 port with ssl, and for the password authentication I use my dotmac name and password.
In advanced I use 995 port and ssl.
This info seems good to go, but when I try to send I always get the dialog box The SMTP server “smtp.comcast.net” rejected the password for user “dotmac account”.
I just cant work out why it wont accept the password. Should I have some extra comcast info?
this is madness, but oh well, is there an answer out there

Checking Comcast's website, Comcast's SMTP server settings should be as follows:
SMTP Server: smtp.comcast.net
Server Port: 587
Use SSL: Off or not selected.
Authentication: Password
User Name: The portion of your Comcast email address in front of the @ sign only.
Password: Your Comcast account password - the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages.
.Mac's SMTP server settings should be as follows:
SMTP Server: smtp.mac.com
Server Port: 587
Use SSL: On/Selected but isn't required.
Authentication: Password
User Name: The portion of your .Mac email address in front of the @ sign only.
Password: Your .Mac account password - the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages.
These settings will not guarantee being able to send messages with either account and SMTP server when traveling and not connected to the internet with Comcast. This is determined by the ISP being used to connect to the internet since all ISPs have restrictions on using an SMTP server that is outside of their network or not provided by the ISP.
You can use .Mac's authenticated SMTP server to send messages with your .Mac account only but you can use Comcast's authenticated SMTP server to send messages with your .Mac account when connected to the internet with Comcast.

  • Can receive, but cant send mail

    Any ideas? I can receive but cant send mail. It says..
    The SMTP server “mailhost.zen.co.uk” rejected the password for user
    Have mail version 4.4
    Many thanks

    Hi,
    I would double check your settings and port numbers.
    Incoming Mail (pop3) server mailhost.zen.co.uk and port for Incoming mail (POP3) is 995
    Outgoing Mail (smtp) server mailhost.zen.co.uk and port for Outgoing mail (SMTP) is 587

    Also make sure under SMTP that the outgoing server requires as secure connection (SSL) box is checked as well as the incoming POP3 (SSL) box.
    Can you say if this is a recent issue or one that has been there since setup?

    Hi, i am having the same problem. this is what i have noticed.
    I have 2 x imac's and 2 x macbook air's
    i upgraded the 2 macbook air's and 1 of the imac's to Mountain Lion, all these have problems acessing sites that require you to login .
    the one remaining imac is still running lion and works perfect.
    i am using a dlink router with DD-WRT firmware, i tested teathering from my iphone and i can log into websites fine using the newly upgraded mac's.
    It's not a wireless issue as my imac is using an ethernet connection.
    is there a compatibility issue with some routers.

  • C6-01- Cant send mail via yahoo mail

    I have set up my yahoo mail account on my Nokia C6-01. I receive mails as they should do. But I Cant send mail. When I compose a mail and try to send it it just stays in outbox. I have set the mailbox settings correctly. While my gmail account works fine to send mails. Mails are sent instantly. Is anyone else going thru this trouble? And I Cant set up the Ovi mail mailbox. It keeps telling me "unable to sign in" How shall I solve this problem?

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Well, it works fine if you use Nokia messaging service. If you use the standard mailbox it has been failing. I have some reservations about Nokia messaging service and thats why I dont want to use it.

  • Cant send mail but can recieve

    have an iphone 3g and just today its stopped sending emails. it comes up with error message
    user name or password for smtp.(email [email protected] is incorrect??
    is the server just down or have i stuffed something up. like i said still receive but cant send from phone

    I began having the same issue today. Several people have posted on the MS livemail forum with this issue today with no response. I was able to work around (found it in the troubleshooting section here) by going settings > mail > livemail account > outgoing mail server > at&t smtp server > on. This is only a work around. There is clearly something that changed today. Another thread talked about not sending when on wifi and using this work around but even with wifi off it will not send without this work around change.

  • Cant send mail since updating 3GS to iOS4

    Hi
    I updated my phone yesterday with the new iOS4 update and whilst my AOL email is working perfectly, my work email which is Microsoft Exchange does not allow me to send mail.

I work in HR and need to be able to access my mail at all times incase something happens

  • Cant send mail out.

    Hi-
    I'm running an Xserve ( new intel build) , using OS X server 10.5.5.
    I can send mail from one user to another from within the domain. I can also receive email form the outside world.
    however, I cant email out.
    SMTP log file reports the following
    "Oct 17 19:25:08 BHW1-Server postfix/qmgr[42665]: warning: connect to transport smtp: Connection refused
    Oct 17 19:25:15 BHW1-Server postfix/smtpd[42715]: warning: 189.71.93.145: hostname 18971093145.user.veloxzone.com.br verification failed: nodename nor servname provided, or not known
    Oct 17 19:25:48 BHW1-Server postfix/qmgr[42746]: warning: connect to transport smtp: Connection refused"
    The ip changes based on whom I try to email to ( I assume I'm getting bounced by someone's mail relay or servers)
    I have rebooted, restarted various services and am fairly convinced this is a configuration problem somewhere-
    any mail guru's help out?

    How is your server connected to the world? Are you relaying your mail server trough your ISP? Or is the domain you internally use, known on the internet? From the mail you try to send, is the info included in its envelope correct?
    As I assume that you use an internal FQDN not publicly know, this is how I resolved a similar situation:
    1. the server must be using the correct relay server
    2. per (local) user the email address must be set to an allowed (publicly known) email address.

  • Mail 7.0 (1822) Sending Mail Issues

    In OS X 10.9, I consistently have issues when sending mail, the message seems to stall at the outgoing server for some reason and Mail forces me to select a different outgoing server.  After I select the same server as is already correctly configured, Mail.app finally sends the message.
    Steps I've taken to replicate this issue:
    Removed all email accounts from: System Preferences/Internet Accounts
    Rebooted MacBook
    Verified all accounts were removed
    Rebooted once more
    Added accounts back to Mail.app
    Rebooted once more
    Problem persisted so I repeated above 3 times before sending this message.
    Problem will not go away!  I didn't have this issue in 10.8.x
    Types of Mail accounts:
    MS Exchange (config as Exchange, not IMAP)
    iCloud (Mac mail)
    GoogleMail IMAP account
    Standard IMAP account

    I installed Mavericks on my iMac as a completely new installation due to a replaced dead hard drive. I also have a powerbook with a standard Mavericks install. Both are updated to the 1822 build of Mail version 7.0. My host is 123-reg.
    Recieving emails works fine. Sending is near impossible, yet strangely intermittent. However both computers will either work, or not, for no apparent reason. I have been in touch with 123-reg support who suggest it is due to the ISP ( in my case BT). My iPhone 5s meanwhile hums along happily which is on O2.
    I cannot pinpoint any one change at my end that makes any sort of permanent difference. I have made all the normal checks and gone through the loops of changing ports and security etc. It sometimes works and sometimes don't. Everytime the error message is the same:-
    Connections to the server “smtp.123-reg.co.uk” on the default ports timed out.
    Activity monitor shows the turning Barbers Pole but just hanging there. Suddenly nearly all my messages were sent! I thought I might have done something my temporarily deactivating my account in system prefs/internet accounts. So I turned on my laptop, but that still would not work, nietehr would the iMac upon my return to it.
    Activity monitor seems to show some very quick actions that I cannot read. I wonder if it is set to go too fast for the server to respond?
    Hope this helps someone work out a fix as I need one as well.

  • Windows Live Sending mail Issue

    Hi Team,
    As I can't able to send mails to more than 50 recepients on a single go. I'm getting this error
    Subject '*************'
    Server: 'smtp.gmail.com'
    Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0B
    Protocol: SMTP
    Port: 25
    Secure(SSL): Yes
    I changed the Port to 587 and 465 but no result. Please help me out how to tackle from this situation

    That error ID indicates that the destination is busy, rather than you've reached the recipient limit. Gmail seem to have multiple limits depending on method of sending, but from what I can see in this instance the recipient limit would be 100 rather than
    50 so that's not your issue.
    Most common cause for that error is local anti-virus / firewall software causing issues. There's a thread discussing the same issue here
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-networking/error-code-0x800ccc0b-when-trying-to-send-email/31dce8ff-7b1a-4b25-b3bf-eba5eccabd29 and includes a few troubleshooting steps, but the main initial one is to disable any AV software
    you have installed on your machine temporarily and try sending again. If that works then it's definitely the AV software causing the problem, and configuring it to no longer scan outbound mail may resolve it, depending on the AV software you're using.

  • Cant send mail using hotspot

    Hi.  I have started using my iPhone 4S as a WiFi hotspot for my MBP when on the road.  Mail collects from all my accounts ok but I cant send any mails from my MBP thru the Hotspot connection.  I dont get any error message, just the spinning icon next to the sent mailbox and no info in the activity window.  Any ideas welcome.  thanks

    Are you sending mail using a Broadband provider account?
    For instance, Virgin Media Mail can only be send through the Virgin Media Sever when you are actually connected to your Virgin Media line (at home)
    An attempt to send mail using the outgoiong server smtp.virgin.com will be blocked if it isn't coming down one of their own lines.
    To cure it, you'll need to add a different smtp server to our mail account that can be used while youo're out an about. Normally this would be the smtp server that your phone company gives you i.e smtp.orange.co.uk or whatever.
