After update, cannot send email via any accounts! Please help!

First of all, thank you for reading my thread.
After updating few days ago, I cannot send any email via any acounts. I have .mac email and yahoo email. But I still can receive emails. I have checked message borad, it said "Some members experienced difficulty sending .Mac Mail via computer email applications from 3:30 am to 6 am Pacific Time. Normal service has been restored." But mine hasn't!!! It has been almost a week!!
The erro message says "cannot send email using this mail server, please choose one of the following server and retry again"
My english is not very good, I hope you understand my question and any help would be appreciated, thank you again.

Thank you very much for your reply!
This is what I got:
PING smtp.mac.com (17.250.248.45): 56 data bytes
--- smtp.mac.com ping statistics ---
10 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
PING mail.mac.com (17.250.248.152): 56 data bytes
--- mail.mac.com ping statistics ---
10 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
It seems the problem is the server, but it has been many days, I don't think apple haven't had notice this.
What should I do next?

Cannot send email from any account

Mail says all my accounts are off line. I have pinged, network checked, tried various ports, removed and reinstalled accounts, used time machine, all to no avail.

Cannot send email with any of my accounts on Mail 5.2

I have a Mac Book Pro
Mac Os X 10.7.4
Mail 5.2
I have many diferent email accounts (gmail, hotmail, prodigy.net.mx, etc)
Some are POP, some are IMAP
I have another computer, an iMac with older system and older Mail app. and used same setup for all accounts
I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails on any of the accounts. I have quadruple checked all settings and all seems to be ok.
All smtp connections appear as not connected, yet different servers, or email suppliers, this makes me suspect something else is wrong.
Any ideas? Help would be appreciated.

Just FYI, I've had the same problem for months now. I have been accessing my hotmail via the web, but decided to try the OS X Mail app. I could get emails into the account with no problem but couldn't send. I read all the blog and support entries and have tried everything they recommended, like changing my computer name to one word, without success. Then last night, it just so happened that my broadband provider had to change out my wireless modem. As soon as he plugged in the new one, some emails that had been in my outbasket for a month went through instantly and all of a sudden my Mail, both incoming and outgoing now work. So I think people need to look at their router settings for the a solution to the problem.

Cannot send emails via at&t

I have at&t internet and cannot send using my at&t email. I can send via gmail. Or if I go use someone elses internet, not being at&t, I can send. At&t said it is a mac issue. I told them it is their issue with macs since I can send using other providers.
Anyone know of a fix?

Cannot send email from pop account when in 3G, will send in WIFI

I cannot send email from pop account when in 3G, will send in WIFI.
I thought it was the SMTP server first.. but when i config my WIFI, suddenly the emails that i tried to send, left my outbox and sent.
Any idea's

The SMTP server you are using with Wi-Fi would be the outgoing server of your internet service provider... this is likely why that's working.
SMTP servers specific to a ISP would not work on the 3G network. You would probably need another SMTP server. One from your cell provider?

Hi there,
It sounds like you have already done a few of the steps, but I would still recommend reviewing the troubleshooting process found in the article below.

I cant send email via icloud account. I have a BT router for vision

Thanks for the suggestion - it turned out that it was actually my workplace's network that automatically blocks external SMTP servers (for some security reason), so the email(s) sent perfectly once I went home and connected to May home network. Annoying!

I am not able to access the internet without wi-fi after updated to iOS 7.0.4. Please help!

Cannot send email from sbcglobal account

Does anyone from Apple take what's discussed here back to a department that is useful in getting bugs fixed? I hope so. I am making this post although I know that NONE of you have an answer to my question that is satisfactory. I will come back to this thread as often as possible in hopes that the next update my finally fix my issue. For the love of all things, I just want to send email via IMAP like this article says I should:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306074
To be clear for you all, I've set up my sbcglobal account as detailed above...ie, using yahoo. This worked great for me until I applied the 1.0.1 update. Since then, I cannot send an email to save my life. Though receiving has worked just great.
I am well aware that I can set up my sbcglobal account using pop3/smtp. This is an annoying work around to me, not a solution. If I set it up using pop3, I loose all kinds of ability I had with IMAP. This is a documented feature that is supposed to work on the iPhone, and it doesn't. I see no reason I should have to go back to an older technology/protocol.
I've submitted multiple comments on the iphone about this. I just pray that someone at Apple fixes this soon. I'm so frustrated, and of course way past my point of returning the dang phone.

Here's the response I received from Yahoo following the link you posted. As usual, nothing that moves the problem closer to a solution. First, there is an attempt at deflecting the problem by pointing out all the other great services Yahoo offers. Note the operative word "some". That's the whole reason I am writing the note. I already know that "some" of the services are working. I'm wondering about the one that doesn't so this doesn't help. Next comes pass the buck. Go talk to Apple about it. No comment on that one, it speaks for itself. And finally, if none of that works please give me more information. I'll call that reflection. So now its back to me. I think I'll take the ball and go home. For what its worth the response is below:
I understand that you are having issues with the Yahoo! Mobile service.
I understand that your sbcglobal.net accounts are not working with the

How do I fix Mail in Snow Leopard where I cannot send emails from my account to another account I've set up in Mail, but the reverse works fine?

I have a problem with Mail in Snow Leopard in that I cannot set up two email accounts for myself and my wife with the same ISP and have them operate properly. I've set up the accounts in strict accordance with my ISP's instructions for setting up email accounts on Mac Mail but I cannot send an email from my account to my wife's without a drop-down message appearing that Mail 'cannot send the email from this server. Please edit the server list'. No amount of tweaking appears to work. Applecare consultants have so far been unable to get it to work and a recent visit to the local Genius Bar in the Apple Store was fruitless also. My ISP's help line was unable to solve the problem even with a supervisor level consultant. The ISP concluded it was some kind of 'bug' in Mail.
I could send emails from my wife's account to mine, but not vice versa; I could send emails to other addresees without any problem and I can send emails from my account to my wife's using the ISP's webmail.
Does anyone please have a solution to my problem? At the moment we're operating one account (mine) on my Macbook and my wife's is set up on her iPad2. As we prefer to use the Macbook for storage and (using Time Machine) for back-up of our data, the two accounts on separate machines is a nuisance.
Another factor is that I prefer to control when I download emails and set my preferences accordingly. One of the so-called 'fixes' that were tried wound up downloading emails regardless of settings, even after removing my wife's account; the matter was remedied only after I had removed all accounts form Mail and started afresh from scratch.

You'll have to pardon my ignorance of some computer terminology; I'm a retired manager and not a computer technician, hence my muddling up of client and server terminology.
Re your comment about Port 339: I did qualify this with (?). As I wrote, it all happened at lightining speed and the guy at the Genius Bar didn't bother explaining what he was doing. Port designation contained 3s and 9s to the best of my recollection.
That said, you seem to be spot on re setting up a 'dummy' client in Mail. I set it up as you suggested and I can send to and receive from this client without a problem. You appear to have identified the solution, notwithstanding the claims of the ISP's 'experts'.
The next problem I have now is sorting out my wife's mailbox that is so troublesome whenever I set it up on Mail.
All the other set-up advice to date yielded a similar result; inability to send from my account to her inbox. Perhaps deleting her details from the account altogether and setting them up again from scratch may be the solution and I shall try that in due course. The impediment that I have with this at the moment is that my ISP admits that it has 'a technical problem with its email servers' and some of its related web pages that prevent my doing this myself. I will have to go through the telephone 'help' line and ask the technician to set it up at their end on my instructions. This has some disadvantages in that I have to divulge the password to the account to the operator rather than keeping it anonymous by doing it on-line. You may have solved the problem, but until I can successfully sort out a working mailbox for my wife i cannot definitively say so.
Many thanks for your perseverance. You've made more sense than anyone else so far and that deserves some points, surely?

Cannot send email from 3 accounts Mac Pro

My brand new Mac Pro cannot send email using Gmail, Shaw, or iCloud. At times I can send a simple test message, other times I cannot send. It seems the more data in the email, it for sure cannot be sent. The sent messages get stuck in the Out Box. Full green lights, no red lights in the connection diagnostics window. Any help in this regard will be much appreciated.

thank you for your reply, I did this with the same problem. Turns out that I went to FAQ section and went to the "Sharing" section of "system preferences" and changed my computer name by removing all spaces and apostrophe where it lists my computer name under Mac Book Pro, and problem solved.

Cannot send email via Hotmail through port 587 with Secure Connection (SSL) set

Something is blocking my attempts to send email (with Outlook Express) via my hotmail.com account. The error I receive is as follows:
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'Hotmail', Server: 'smtp.live.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 587, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F
When Hotmail.com first changed over to a POP3 server (Sept 2009), I could send emails through them using port 587, which they require. But then something happened, with no changes on my part, to disable my ability to send.
I have checked and rechecked my Outlook Express account settings. I can send email through another third-party mail account (at 1&1 Internet.com) using port 587, which does not require setting SSL to yes. I can also ping the Hotmail SMTP server via port 587 and receive a response from it.
I connect to Verizon DSL via a Westell 327W modem/router. Clearly it is not blocking port 587 without SSL. Does it have the capability to block SSL traffic? Or is the Verizon server the culprit, not allowing emails to be sent via Hotmail.com?
Two different computers on my LAN have the same problem sending emails via Hotmail.com. I have tried everything the Hotmail people have suggested; at this point they think it is an ISP problem, hence this post. This problem doesn't make sense to me and is driving me crazy. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks.

You can still have your reply address set to your hotmail address. And you don't have to really remember to do anything. Configure your client for the HOTMAIL account with Verizon's outgoing server. It will automatically send via Verizon. You don't reveal your verizon.net address, you are just using their server to transmit.
If a forum member gives an answer you like, give them the Kudos they deserve. If a member gives you the answer to your question, mark the answer as Accepted Solution so others can see the solution to the problem.
