Airport Extreme Won't Allow iMail to Send out Emails through POP or IMAP

So we just got the Airport Extreme and the internet is working just fine, but on both my macbook and my Father's iMac we can't send emails through our iMail. Mine is connected to my gmail account and his is connected to a comcast account. We can both receive email, but not send it out, it just sits in the outbox attempting to send itself.
I tried resetting my account, and deleted it altogether and made a new one, but that still didn't work.
Any other ideas?

  • Why won't my MacMail send out emails for my new IMAP email account?

    Hello there,
    I recently found a new job and with the new job comes a new email. I have used MacMail plenty of times in the past and have no real issues with adding or removing email accounts using MacMail.....until now.
    The email account type is IMAP and inregards to receiving emails the account is working perfectly. I am having no issue at all with getting emails, the issue is with trying to send emails from this particular account.
    Originally, after setting the account up, whenever I tried to send out an email from this account I received an Error Message stating that the outgoing mail server was not available, aka nto setup correctly. After contacting my new employer, they realized they sent me the wrong info for the outgoing mail server. Once I inputted the new outgoing mail server, I no longer received the error message when attempting to send an email.
    At this point, i figured that the account was golden and good to go. However, despite no longer getting the error message when trying to send emails, the emails never reach their destination and a sent receipt does not show up in my SENT folder.
    Any idea what could be going on? I have tried my other accounts and sending emails from my other email addresses are working perfectly.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    nothing...... it just says refreshing but nothing happens
    I know i have about 10 emails unread from today.
    Then when i try and send it just doesn't do anything.

  • My brand new out the box airport extreme won't let anything connect to it.

    My brand new out the box 5th gen (2013) airport extreme won't let anything connect to it. I've tried several setups from sratch by the book. multiple resets and restores still nothing. It just keeps telling mt that the password is in correct even though it is 100% right.
    My curren set up is as follows. Phone Line -> ADSL2+ router -> Airport extreme. There is also an old airport express running of the router, this was done because the airport extremem was failing to work.
    Trying to connect:
    2x iPhone 4s
    2x macbook air
    2x Mac Pro.

    You will want the Extreme to be in bridge mode if it is currently disabled. (see image below)
    This will allow the ADSL2+ router to perform two important functions for your entire network: 1) Provide both the DHCP & NAT services, and 2) Provide PPPoE support to allow access to your ADSL ISPs network.
    If the Extreme is left in its default state, a router, it will conflict with the first item and you will have want is known as a "double NAT" condition. Something you will want to avoid.

  • Won't allow me to send emails from one email account

    Firstly my z10 won't allow me to send wails from my website email address (my website is with mr site) my last bob worked fine with no issues it was a torch 9800. Mr site say it's not them but suggest I can register with a server company, I checked this but would have to pay for the service. My sim is with BT and they say it's not there problem either and send me back to mr site, I have registered the email account on my z10, so can receive emails but when I reply they don't get sent, Also have a problem with the phone needing my email passwords every now and then, don't know why this is either? Hoping someone can help Linda

    Hello,
    Most, but not all, email services are fully compatible with BB10. You might have to configure the account manually to get everything correct...sometimes the email wizard just can't get it correct. You can find you settings via this tool:
    KB33444 How to use the Email Account Validation Tool (EAVT)
    Then use the Advanced Settings in the email configuration screens and provide all of the settings manually. Normally, that does the trick.
    However, if the email account in question has certain restrictions, then there may be no way around it. Some email accounts require your sending device to be "inside" of their network in order to send mail. Often, then can receive, but not send. The email system places a requirement on the SMTP server that does not allow it to be used from "outside", even authenticated. For those types of systems, there really is no workaround...they require the sending device to be "inside", but that cannot be done with a mobile device...catch-22.
    I've no idea if mr site is such a service...I've never heard of them before, so have no way to know. But perhaps you can ask them specifically if their SMTP server can be used from "outside" of their network, as long as you provide the proper authentication into the device email configuration (via the manual method I discussed above). If they say that their SMTP server can only be used from "inside", then you indeed are stuck. The only solution I can think of is to find another email provider that does not have such a restriction.

    This may be causal:
    KB33834 Email accounts integrated using POP are repeatedly and incorrectly marked as invalid
    I also noticed the problem on some of the earlier BB10 OS levels, but such seems to have settled down with newer versions. But, I can't tell, from what you provided, what OS level you are on.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Airport Extreme won't connect with my cable modem (Time Warner)

    OK, I'm tired of staring at a blinking amber light. I'm reaching out to anyone out there who's had this problem. I've got everything connected right, the software loaded, the connections set on my laptop (Macbok Pro). But still my Airport Extreme won't connect to the Internet. I've tried different cables, rebooting both my modem and my Airport. For the record, I've had a Mac IT guy from my advertising agency come by my house and make sure that everything's installed and hooked up right. But it still keeps saying that my IP address is invalid, even though I can connect (wired) using the modem.
    I suspect I'll just have to take it to the Genius Bar or something. But anybody got any ideas? I really want to join the 'n' generation....

    atotheb, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Did you power off the cable modem when switching the Ethernet connection from laptop to AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS)? This is usually required.

  • Airport Extreme won't assign an IP address to OS 9.2.2

    Is there a reason why my Airport Extreme won't assign an IP address using DHCP to a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver running Mac OS 9.2.2? The OS X partition running Tiger works fine.

    I finally found that if I put and old dual-speed Netgear hub between the Airport Extreme router and the PM G4 Quicksilver running OS 9.2.2 everything works fine. Go figure!
    Maybe one of the Mac gurus out there can tell me why this worked.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • I bought a second hand MacBook Air and it won't allow me to install updates as up pops the previous owners log in details. How do I go about amending this?

    I bought a second hand MacBook Air and it won't allow me to install updates as up pops the previous owners log in details. How do I go about amending this?

    The seller was remiss in not properly preparing the Mac for sale. That task has now fallen to you. You will encounter continual problems until you perform the following. Ignore references to DVD since the MacBook Air has none.
    If you are unable to do that contact the seller and request instructions, or arrange for its return and a refund of your costs.
    Refer to What to do before selling or giving away your Mac
    If you enabled FileVault, disable it in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
    "Deauthorize" your iTunes account. Same for Audible if you have one.
    System Preferences > iCloud > de-select "Back to My Mac" and "Find my Mac".
    Sign out of iCloud. Select "Delete from Mac" when it appears.
    Next: Remove all your personal information by completely erasing the Mac's internal storage.
    If your Mac shipped with a grey System Install DVD, start your Mac with that disc inserted in the optical drive while holding the c key to boot from it instead of its internal volume, which should be erased before selling it.
    If your Mac did not ship with discs, boot OS X Internet Recovery:
    using three fingers press and hold the following keys: ⌘(command), option, and R.
    With a fourth finger press the power button to turn on the Mac.
    Keep the other three fingers where they are until you see the "spinning globe" icon.
    This method forces the Mac to download its originally installed OS from Apple's servers, which will not require an Apple ID to install.
    Remove any Open Firmware password if you created one: select Firmware Password Utility from the Utilities menu and remove it.
    Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    Remove any partitions you may have created.
    Select the Mac's hard disk icon, then select the "Erase" tab.
    Select the "Security Options" button and erase the disk.
    The more "securely" you erase the disk, the longer it will take.
    The fastest method is sufficient since all but the most expensive techniques and equipment will be able to recover securely erased data.
    When it finishes, quit Disk Utility.
    Select Install Mac OS X from the Utilities menu.
    An Apple ID will not be required. If a prompt for an Apple ID appears, return to Step 5.
    Do not create any user accounts.
    When it finishes, shut down the computer.
    If you want to install the bundled apps that were included with your Mac, restart by using your Applications DVD if one was included, and install the bundled apps. Apps bundled with newer Macs that shipped without discs cannot be transferred. Its new owner must purchase them from the Mac App Store using his or her own Apple ID.
    If the Mac is being sold to someone outside the family consider the following additional information:
    System Install DVDs that came with your Mac should remain with it forever, and must be included with the sale.
    Consider including your AppleCare certificate if you bought it, printed documentation, even the box if you still have it. AppleCare stays with the equipment and is transferable.
    Execute a bill of sale showing the Mac's serial number.
    Once no longer in your possession, remove the Mac from your devices in My Support Profile.

  • Firefox keeps remembering a website and won't allow me to log out and will not return to login page. been to cookies, saved passord options, nothing helps

    firefox keeps remembering a website and won't allow me to log out and will not return to login page. been to cookies, saved password options, says no password is saved but it is. nothing helps

    It might be that you are logged in with HTTP authentication (either basic or digest). This authentication is arranged by the browser, so you would have seen a pop-up dialog asking for a user name and password while logging in. It seems that these are cached by the browser and it requires you to restart the browser to log out...
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication
    http://www.tolaris.com/2009/09/08/logging-out-of-http-auth-with-firefox/
    Because I found that having to restart the browser quite annoying I stumbled on this question and also on the HTTP Logout add-on that allows you to log out without restarting your browser. Not many sites use HTTP Authentication, but you might give it a try.

  • New iPad won't send out emails on VerizonLTE or 3G network, but will do so on wi-fi - help?

    Been through the wringer on this one. Verizon or local cable  co. have not helped. New iPad will not send out emails while in LTE or 3g, but will do so in wi-fi. Have checked settings, restarted, reset settings, etc. Any ideas would be appreciated. BTW, I have an iPhone with Verizon and it sends out emails with exactly the same settings as the iPad while on 3g. This has been nuts.

    Hi all:
    Just found the answer to this thanks to Chris CA. In outgoing email settings, for some reason, the new iPad must have username and password entered even though it says optional. Once I entered that data, emails sent right out! The Verizon techs or my cable co. techs never suggested doing so after many hours of troubleshooting. This forum always has the real "experts". Thanks again, Chris.

  • SharePoint Foundation 2013 installed on Windows Server 2012 not sending out email notification

    I have a server where i installed SP Foundation 2013 on top of Windows Server 2012. I have configured the SMTP as well as the outgoing SMTP in Central Administration
    of SharePoint. When i create an alert on a document library, its did not sent any email notification on the changes made to the document in the document library. So, i created a workflow to send out email using SPD2013. The workflow run, but it cannot sent
    out email with error saying that outgoing email is not configured correctly. I have checked with another server which i installed SP foundation 2013 on top of Windows Server 2008 R2 - its sending out email just fine using same configuration and outgoing SMTP.
    I need help to resolve this issue or at least the cause of the problem.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

         
    Try below:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13771.troubleshooting-steps-for-sharepoint-alert-email-does-not-go-out.aspx
    Go to Central Admin ---->Operations----->outgoing email settings and verify that SMTP server is mentioned correctly 
    2) Test the connectivity with the SMTP server.
    In order to do that follow these steps:
      Open  cmd
      telnet <SMTP server name> 25 ( We connect smtp server to the port 25)  
                     you should see a response  like this 220 <servername> Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.3959 ready at date and time
                     Beware that different servers will come up with different settings but you will get something
                     If you dont get anything then there could be 2 possible reasons, either port 25 is blocked or 
                     the smtp server is not responding.
      For testing response from your server
                       For testing response say ehlo to it.
                            Type :
                                        ehlo <servername>
                            output:
                                        250 <servername> Hello [IP Address]
      Now a test mail can be sent from that SharePoint server. 
                          Now we need to enter the From address of the mail.
                          Type :
                           mail from: [email protected]
                           output:
                           250 2.1.0 [email protected]….Sender OK
     It's time to enter the recepient email address.
    Type : rcpt to: [email protected]
    output:
    250 2.1.5 [email protected]
     Now we are left with the data of the email. i.e. subject and body.
    Type : data
    output:
    354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>
    Type:
    subject: this is a test mail
    Hi
    This is test mail body
    I am testing SMTP server.
    Hit Enter, then . and then Enter.
    output:
    250 2.6.0 <<servername>C8wSA00000006@<servername>> Queued mail for delivery
    Type: quit
    output:
    221 2.0.0 <servername> Service closing transmission channe
    3)  Check alerts are enabled for your web application
          verify if the windows timer service is running or not.
          Run this stsadm command to check that
          Stsadm.exe -o getproperty -url http://SharePoint-web-App-URL -pn alerts-enabled
         This should return <Property Exist="Yes" Value="yes" />
         If you don’t get this, Enable alerts by:
         stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn alerts-enabled -pv "true" -url http://SharePoint-web-App-URL
          If its already enabled, try turn off and turn on it back.
    4)  Check the Timer job and Properties
           Go to
           MOSS 2007:  Central Administration > Operations > Timer Job Definitions (under Global Configuration)
           In SharePoint 2010: Central Administration > Monitoring > Review Job Definitions 
           Check whether the "Immediate Alerts" job is enabled for your web application. check these properties:
                       job-immediate-alerts
                       job-daily-alerts 
                       job-weekly-alerts
           stsadm.exe -o getproperty -url "http://Your-SharePoint-web-App-URL" -pn job-immediate-alerts
           The expected output is:
           <Property Exist="Yes" Value="every 5 minutes between 0 and 59"/>.  
           If you don’t get this, run the following command to set its value.
           stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn job-immediate-alerts -pv “every 5 minutes between 0 and 59" -url http://Your-SharePoint-web-App-URL
    5)  Check whether the account is subscribed for alerts and it has a valid email account. This should be the first thing to check if the problem persists for some users not for      all.
    6)  Then check if at all those users have at least read permission for the list. Because the first mail should go out for every user without security validation but the next ones       won't be delivered unless the user has at least read
    permission.
    7)  If it is happening for one user, can also try to delete and re add the user in the site.
    8)  Most importantly , you should try this one.
          Run this SQL query to the content db < Select * from Timerlock>
          This will give you the name of the server which is locking the content database and since when.
          In order to get rid of that lock 
          Go to that server which is locking the content db and then restart the windows timer service.
          within some time it should release the lock from content db, if not then at the most stop the timer job for some time
          Once the lock will be released then try to send some alerts
          You will surely get the email alert.
    I found this is the most probable reason for alert not working most of the time. We should start troubleshooting with above steps before coming to this step for any alert email issue but from step 1 to step 7 are best for new environments or new servers.
    If the issue is like this ,alert was working before and suddenly stopped working without any environmental change then above conditions in step 1-7 should be ideally fine.
    Even after this if it is not working, then you can try these few more steps too
    9)  Try re-registering the alert template:
    stsadm -o updatealerttemplates -url http://Your-SharePoint-Web-App-URL -f  "c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\XML\alerttemplates.xml" -LCID 1033
    10)  Try to clear the configuration cache
    If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered

  • Can LabVIEW send an email through Microsoft Exchange server without an account set up in Outlook?

    I've found sample code that shows how to send email through Outlook using LabVIEW.  On any computer I log into on our network, my profile loads and I have access to the exchange server through Outlook so the code works.
    However, I am developing a program that will run on a lab computer with a generic PC login that is shared among everyone in the lab.  Exchange server/outlook is not set up for the generic user.
    Is it possible to have labVIEW send an email through the exchange server with a server name, username, and password coded into the executable?

    You would need to send a standard SMTP message via Exchange. The Exchange server will likely require authentication, so you won't be able to use the built-in SMTP VIs, as they do not support authentication. If you're on Windows you can use .NET (see this example), or use the OpenG SMTP VIs.
