Able to receive but not to send emails

Purchased macbook pro, ipad & iphone at xmas ... experiencing ame problem with all of them.
I can received emails okay via mobile me, yahoo, gmail but 90+% of emails I send are not received by recipient and I get bounce back SMTP error messages. (I did manage to send emails to a couple of individuals who have AOL and BT internet accounts but others failed).
Have contacted Apple Support but so far no solution found by them .... I have seen numerous threads on internet with others who appear to have same issue but not sure if there are any fixes. The Apple support person indicated that many of the internet service providers seemed to be blocking the messages from getting through ... I have also read that this may be as a result of going through an intermediate (i.e. Apple Mail) ... although even when I try the old approach of sending direct from yahoo and gmail websites ... these are now failing as well.
I only started experiencing these problems after changing to apple products in recent weeks ... HELP!!

I suddenly had the same issue Saturday: my gmail was receiving but not sending. This was true whether via WiFi or 3G.
I troubleshot it with Apple. It happened whether my gmail account was set up as "gmail" in iPhone mail setup, or whether (as I had always had it) set up using Exchange (even though I don't connect through an Exchange server). We reset the network settings, that did not help. Then, we set up Apple Support's dummy Yahoo account. That worked fine. Then we used their dummy gmail account. That worked fine. So it seemed to be something at the level of my particular account.
I ran out of time to troubleshoot, and now, strangely, today it is working fine again. I am guessing something on the Google end but who knows. Or maybe some NSA program.

Able to receive but not send email

I am able to receive email, but not send or reply to email. iPhone says "Invalid Sender Address" What can I do about this?

This sounds like the usual issue you come across where you can't send email unless you are using the sending server of the ISP whose service you are connected to. The simplest way round this seems to be to get a GMail account. Enable POP in the account settings, see http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=13273 and then use the GMail sending server instead of your existing smtp server. If your ISP doesn't have authenticated servers that work over other ISPs networks this seems to be the easiest workaround and has the added advantage that GMail uses SSL for it's connections so it is more secure.
There is a good set of instructions for setting GMail up on the iPhone, see http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=72454

HT201240 how do i reset my password to access my email on a mac pro. i updated latest software and i am able to receive but not send email. i can't remember my password.

i recently updates the software on my macpro. now i can receive email but not send. it says something about my password but i don't remember the one i set??? now what?

To find your mail account's password, open Keychain Access.app in your /Applications/Utilities folder, select Login Keychain at the top of the list in the left-hand column, and below that, also on the left, select Passwords.
Find your mail account in the list that appears in the larger part of the window, click on it once to select it, then press command-I to open an Info window for your mail account. At the bottom of the Info window, tick the box, Show password:
In the dialog that opens, enter your "login" keychain password (which should be the same as the password you use for your Admin account), and choose Allow. That dialog will close and your mail account's password will appear in the Info window. Copy that password, and enter it in Mail when requested.

Able to receive but not send mail

since moving to a new web host, I'm able to receive mail via Mac Mail but unable to send.
Is anyone else having this type of problem?
OSX 10.9.4
Mac Mail 7.3
web server
Linux
Apache 2.2.26
PHP 5.4.26

Please see if the Apple mail troubleshooting support article resolves this misbehavior.
Sending is the SMTP path, which is the one that nobody new to mail can find — mail uses POP or IMAP for receiving, and SMTP for sending, and there are separate settings, servers and login credentials for each. To get to the SMTP settings, Mail > Preferences > Accounts > select the failing account > Account Information > select Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) to Edit Mail Server List > select the SMTP account > verify the settings for the server, that SSL/TLS is enabled (usually) or not (rare), and that your username and password are correct. Like the POP or IMAP settings, these SMTP settings and credentials are also specific to your mail ISP, which means I don't know exactly what the required settings are here.
With the way that mail pops up that infernal "do you want to cause yourself grief by changing your password?" dialog box on transient network errors, it's very easy to get an incorrect password set, too.
I'm not sure why you've listed web server, Linux, Apache and PHP in your posting.

Receive but can't send email

I have set up my Iphone 5 email exactly the same as my iPhone 4. Emails are received but outgoing email is left in Outbox. It states the sender address was rejected by the server. How can this be when it works on the iPhone 4?

Hi there,
I found you on Mac discussion groups.
Can you please tell me what to do re, not receiving ALL my emails, and often not being able to send email, even from different wifi servers?
I have alot of draft mail, sent mail, big mailboxes, etc.
Thanks.

Entourage Receives But Won't Send Emails

My Entourage had been working perfect for about a year until 2 weeks ago when it stopped sending emails. I can receive emails but when I attempt to send them the following message comes up:
"An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too myuch net traffic. "
If that happened once I'd be understand, but I havent been able to send mail now for 2 weeks so I know its not the server. Can anyone help?

Hi Joel.
Couple of things.
1) Have you talked to your mail provider to make sure that you have your settings correct, still? Or have you triple checked your settings?
2) Any changes to firewall settings?
3) Did you add/change any other software on the day that mail stopped sending?
(Quit Entourage for the next steps)
4) Repair Permissions?
5) Do keychainAccess firstaid, or remove the password in Keychain for this server. Then restart the Mac. Then restart Entourage
Someone else might have some ideas

Receive but can't send emails using Outlook Expres...

Is anyone else experiencing this again ?
OE leaves my mail in the Outbox and BT Mail will not accept them on a send/receive. Also still experiencing password rejection problems everytime I send/receive. If I cancel instead of trying again. It receives my mail but will not send it.
Any ideas please ?
Thanks..............
Spoiler (Highlight to read)

I suspect you will all ready have done this because you were previously sending emails but it might be worth doing it again in case there has been a glitch in the system.
Verify the non BT email address. See this link.
http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/10903/kw/reset%20BT%20Yahoo%20Password/c/346,412,416/...
I think you also need to ensure that you have ticked the box “My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication" - and you need to use "Log on using" and enter the BTinternet email address/password you've used to verify the Non BT email address.

Icloud email can receive but not send on PC?

With icloud emails on my iphone I can receive and send icloud emails. On my PC I can receive but not always send. When I try to send an icloud email I get this message: "This message cannot be sent at this time"
Thanks,
Frank

I ran into this problem myself while connected via WI-FI last night and it was due to port 25 being blocked by my ISP. I recommend that you set up your Yahoo! e-mail account within iPhone. Go to Settings | Mail | Add Account... Yahoo will be the top choice.
If you want to continue to use Yahoo via POP3/SMTP, then look at this link:

Mail receives but won't send email. How do I fix this?

I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails. This just started happening. I have an iPhone and I can send emails from my phone fine. It's just not working on my Macbook. Every time I try to send an email it goes straight to my outbox. Can anyone help?

Thank you for heading me in the right direction. I reset my Mail account for Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net:(customer ID)@att.net (instead of smtp.att.yahoo.com, per Apple's online troubleshooting information). I'm not sure what "(Offline)" means when it appears at the end of my Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)?? In the Advanced box I clicked on "Use custom port: 465" and checked "Use Secure Sockets Layer." Authentication: Password; I have correct User Name and Password put in. After doing all this, when I try to send emails again today, they go directly to the Outbox and sit there.
What's curious is that my first sent email this morning did go out using the Outgoing Mail Server, smtp.att.yahoo.com: (customer ID)@att.net(Offline) but subsequent emails I tried to send with this server were rejected with the message: "Cannot send message using the server smtp.att.yahoo.com (etc.). The SMTP server doesn't support TLS(SSL) on port 587. Verify your account settings and try again." That's when I tried resetting my Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net (etc.), as mentioned above, and was unsuccessful in sending out any further emails. I guess my next step is to contact my email service provider, AT&T, and see if they can help me. Thanks, again, for taking the time to respond and for giving me your input! Much appreciated!

I can't send emails via mail. I can receive but not send. I have set up gmail on mail. Any ideas?

I can't send emails via mail. I can receive but not send. I have set up gmail on mail. Any ideas? No problems with the set up previously to this.

Go to Mail Preferences- Accounts and confirm you are providing Gmail what they require to send and receive mail. And DON'T specify Secure Socket Layer. Some mail accts don't like SSL
Good Luck to you.
