Able to recieve mail, unable to send mail

I am at a friends house for the next week and I am on the wirless network. I am recieving my mail from my website, but everytime I try and send something, mail gives me a error message that the outgoing server could not be found.
I changed my outgoing SMTP to match what they have in their MS Outlook, but still no joy. What do I need to do to fix it so I can send mail.

When I have this trouble I use a free G-mail account for the sending only. I still use the Mail app. You first sign up online for a Google mail (GMail) account then ADD it to your account list in Mail-Preferences with the correct SMTP settings for the GMail account (see below). Then under your ISP account choose the SMTP server that you just set up. The Mail app will then use that Gmail server for sending mail and still use your ISP server (POP) to get your mail. You can change it back when you return home. Let me know if you need more help with this.

I am traveling to Greece, the Greek Isles and Turkey. Some of the trip will be on a Windstar sailing ship. Will I be able to use my I pad 2 (WI FI and 3G) to pick up mail, e mail and perform other functions.

I looked on their site and found no mention of internet access, doesn't the literature supplied for your trip answer that question?

Hi,
Are you connected to a strong Wi-fi signal? Try resetting your iPod: Press/hold the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears.
Hope this helps!

I am unable to Send E-mail via Default mail app in my iphone. IOS7, i have account of icloud, Gmail, Microsoft all the account are well added, i can recieve e-mails but the massage i send is never sent

Turns out this was a simple set up error for me, although i'd set up mobile me to sync my e mails I had never set up my outgoing message server. Therefore, if I received a message from me.com I could reply no problem, however if the message came from aol.com I couldn't reply.

Unable to send or recieve mail pop up continually says wrong user I'd or password.

UNable to send or recieve mail pop box continually says wrong user I'd or password both chiecked ok.

If the server says they are wrong then they are wrong. Check the provider's website for iPhone setup instructions.

For some reason, just recently i am unable to send e mails from my aol account from my i phone. I cannot send pics etc. as e mail either, when i have always been able to before. Can anyone help ?

just recently i am unable to send any sort of e mails from my i phone using my aol e mail account. I am unable to forward pics to others via e mail. It simply will not allow, when i have always been able to before.

We took our MacBook Pro to the apple store, after a long trial and error, they FIXED the problem!
It turns out that one of the files was corrupt, it was either Java or Silverlight.
My suggestion to you is to remove Java than restart and then reinstall Java. See if hotmail works. If not, than, remove Silverlight reboot than reinstall Silverlight.
For us, it was one of those two files that were corrupt and that was causing hotmail to not be able to send email.
I'm not sure what the procedure is to remove and reinstall files, all I know is that my wives MacBook can now send email using hotmail.
Hope this helps.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Unable to send but can recieve mail

I am unable to send any mail from my hotmail account on my iphone, it says the username or password is wrong, which I double checked and it is right and I can receive. I have not changed any settings and I was able to send yesterday.
What could be the cause?

What error message do you get? I have the same proble, and so far Apple can't fix it.

I had same issue, started a couple of days ago. I deleted the mailbox and reinstalled... with one new issue. Can't be attached to Nokia Messaging, it does not recognize password. I installed the mailbos anyway, setting all manually. Now it works, but not as quick as with Nokia Messaging.Is a GMail account.
Anyone knows why can't accept the password in Nokia Messaging when installing? I already went into wwww.email.nokia.com and tried to change the password, but I can't. I login with the password on the site that when installing it does not recognize... any idea what can I do to recover the Messaging features?

Yahoo Mail issue, able to recieve but not send.

I sold my friend my Macbookpro running 10.5.3 and he is able to receive emails but not send them even though the MBP makes the sound like the email was sent. Yahoo says they are not reaching their server. I told him to repair disk permissions which may be a long shot and if that did not work to add a new user account and re setup the email account over again and see if they go out from there. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. I know I have had this issue before but it was just because my outgoing mail server was not typed in properly.
He says everything is correct. Could it be a port issue?

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.

Mail, unable to send or receive

Unable to send email from MAIL using OS X 10.7.4
For the past couple months, I can recieve but cannot send email messages. Called sever,but was told the problem was with my mail program. On my Mac Book OS X 10.6.8 am able to send but not receive. Any ideas as to solving this dilema?

can you open mail, then preferences accounts please?
Then tell is your outgoing mail server the same as the account you are in? and is the box "use only this server" checked?
If not, it could be that- and then the various mail servers, instead of matching your account willl scramble at random..so no your dot mac mail will NOT go out on your aol server...etc.
See? Open it- then also tell how many mail accounts you have.

Unable to SEND mail using Activesync in Exchange 2010 server on iPhone or Windows Mobile 6.1

Hi All,
We've been setting up a new SBS 2011 server for a client this week. Everything is working, except the staff have 4 x iPhones to connect with Exchange ActiveSync.
There are 2 x iPhone 4's and 2 x iPhone 3Gs's. We can setup the Exchange accounts on each of the phones and they are all able to sync mail and calender etc with the server.
The problem we have is when any of them try to send mail from the phone, it gives an error : "Cannot Send Mail - An error occurred while delivering this message" and it sits in the outbox on the phone.
The newsgroups and forums are littered with people having issues with IOS4 and Exchange 2010 but most of these are from June-August 2010 when IOS4 version was around 4.00 or 4.01
A lot of these people had iPhone 3 handsets running with IOS 3.1.3 which worked with Exchange 2010 but when they upgraded to IOS 4, they had this problem sending mail.
It seems that for most of them, the fix came in the form of IOS version 4.1 which fixed the send issue for them.
We have a variety of Hansets and IOS versions (including an iPhone 3Gs running IOS 3.1.3) but are unable to send mail from any of them:
iPhone 3Gs    IOS 3.1.3
iPhone 3Gs    IOS 4.3.3
iPhone 4       IOS 4.3.3
iPhone 4       IOS 4.3.5
I was surprised that the iPhone 3Gs running 3.1.3 was unable to send either as nearly all the forums etc I read with this issue said the iPhone 3's worked with that IOS version.
Today we used a test iPhone 4 handset from our office to connect to an almost identical Small Business Server 2011 we setup two weeks ago for another client.
The test iPhone 4 was able to connect, Sync and Send email on that server but when set it to connect to this SBS 2011 server, it gets the "Cannot Send Mail" message the same as the others. So clearly the handset is working (on the other server at least),
it must be something misconfigured in this Exchange server right?
We ran the Exchange Remote Connectivity Analyser on the Exchange server and got green ticks across the board.
Outlook Web App and Outlook Anywhere both work normally. Everything we can test on the Exchange server works except sending from any iPhone.
Having said all that, I just setup a Windows Mobile 6.1 handset to sync with the Exchange 2010 server as a test, and it appears to have the same issue.
It will connect & Sync Mail, Contacts and Calendar but if trying to send an email from the phone, it will just sit in the outbox.
Does anyone have some insight into what the problem may be?

Further to this .. I found the solution on a MS Exchange 2010 support forum.
It was not a certificate or firewall issue, looks as thought the “Accepted Domains” in Exchange Mgmt Console –
Org Config – Hub Transport cannot have any spaces in the name field.
I had some spaces and the emails were not downloading fully and able to send. Once I removed the spaces from the Name field and
restarting the Exchange and IIS services emails were now being sent and received ok.

Mail 2.1.1 recieves but doesn't send mail and gives no error message?

I've an issue with mail on an I-Mac with 2 gig intel core duo running O/S 10.4.9 and mail app version 2.1.1. I was using the machine at my studio for a studio manager. I downsized the studio and gave that machine to my parents who have been using an old G4 I gave them running o/s X and using the mail app for all their e-mailing. I migrated their old system from the G4 to the I-mac via target mode and everything seemed to be working until they tried to type more than one word in the body of the e-mail. once you hit the space bar and try to type another word it just gives an error tone. Also they are not able to send mail but are able to recieve. There is absolutely no error message or tone when you hit send or hit the return key. It just does nothing and gives me no feedback. I have gone through all the settings from the old machine which is sending and recieving mail as it has for the last 3 years with out incidence. I've updated the software, verified and repaired the disk and permissions. They are using RCN as their ISP with a cable modem. Again the G4 is working as it should with the exact same settings that the I-mac is configured with. Is there some issue with the older intel machines? Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks,
-Russ

This problem in Mail is usually caused by some Launch Services cache or preferences corruption that affects the built-in spell checker. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services — the notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved:
Resetting Launch Services
If you prefer using a cache cleaning utility instead of following the manual procedure described in the previous article, take a look at this other article for general troubleshooting and cache-cleaning procedures. Actually, you should also verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described there:
Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
The most appropriate utility for this particular problem probably is Tiger Cache Cleaner, but you may also want to consider other utilities, such as OnyX, or Cache Out X, which are free. Whatever utility you choose, be sure to read this first:
Side effects of System cache cleaning
As an example, this is how you should proceed with OnyX:
1. Quit all applications.
2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
3. Go to Maintenance > Reset and check LaunchServices database.
4. Un-check any other pre-checked options.
5. Click the Execute button.
6. Restart the computer.

Unable to send mail

I am suddenly unable send mail from my computer using Mail, though I am able to receive mail. This happened around the time ".mac" turned into "mobile me". The support pages only detail mail setup for OS 10.4.9 or later. I am on 10.3.9. Do I need to upgrade my whole operating system to continue to use Mail with my account? If not, what settings do I need to change?

Hi Mike,
.mac changed to Mobileme about 7 months ago, so maybe it is not related to this at all.
Your .mac email address should still work with 10.3 Panther.

Unable to send mail via Secure SMTP

Our email system allows users access to their accounts via secure IMAP and SMTP.
I am able to connect and view my inbox via secure IMAP, using a number of different S60 devices - namely E72, E52 and 5800.
However I am unable to connect to send via secure SMTP.
By contrast, I am able to view and send mail with Apple and Android devices without any problems.
On my comparable UAT configuration the S60 devices do not have this problem.
On UAT, we use a self-signed certificate, as opposed to the Live system which uses a Verisign certificate.
Help, please!
I'd like to be able to send mail with my S60 devices.
How can I resolve this apparent problem with the certificate?
Echo

An Update of sorts.
On my E72 I removed all references to Verisign under: Ctrl. panel -> Settings -> General -> Security -> Certificate management -> Authority certificates. (There were about 6 entries)
I tried to connect afresh, but the phone took two attempts to pick up my password for email.
I now have a 'Trusted site certificate' for the email server.
However, I still can't send. A message pops up 'Unable to send message: <target address>'
