AOL mail (Can't send mail)

I get error when using iPod Touch default for SMTP outgoing server. I think my ISP blocked that port or something. Any alternatives?

  • I have seen all the early responses to how to fix AOL mail issues on Iphones, however no mater how many smpt servers I set up or on .... I can not get AOL mail to send from my Iphone 5, running IOS 6.  I have an Iphone 4 running IOS6 and it works fine...

    I can not get the Iphone 5 to send out aol mail.  I have added the extra smtp server as suggested and it still will not send mail.

    I am having the same problem. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I called apple restored my phone to its original and it did not work :-( Now it seems like it worked for a bit than stopped again. Now I have to contact Apple again to set up an appointment at an Apple store because it may be an issue with my phone. I have only had it for a week and half!

  • Can't send email through my aol mail on my iPad 2 after updating to iOS 7

    I had to update m iPad because I was no longer able to work a lot of my apps because they kept telling me that there was an update that I had to do in order to even work my apps!  I was very reluctant to do it in the first place fearing that I would loose a lot of my pics, videos and or more!  Anyway so the other day I sat down and finally did it.  After updating my iPad 2 to the new operating system of iOS 7 now I cannot send emails through my aol mail on my iPad.  I tried putzing with the settings for smtp and to no avail nothing,  I then decided well maybe downloading the aol app would help but still not good enough because it takes up so much room that I had to delete some apps just to get it.  I had since deleted the aol app and am still trying to figure out why I keep getting the message I am getting is incorrect] hen it gives me two options which are option 1) Settings and option 2) Cancel.  I am in need of assistance here because I can receive mail but cannot send it.  Oh and I am able to send mail through my other email addresses on my iPad mail including my me.com and iCloud.com as well as two others but am not able to send through aol.  I am loosing my patience with apple very quickly as one why did I have to update the system and why am I forced to update my apps which I feel is completely ridiculous in the first place.  Everything was fine until I had to do that and now I cannot keep my iPad on for more then an hour when the battery drains so quickly now because I guess it takes up so much unneeded space!  PLEASE HELP ME!

    Hello, PriestessJeanann. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing issues with mail.  The usual fix would be to delete the email account in question and add this account via the preset AOL option.  I would also recommend checking with your email provider for security procedures such as two-step verification as this could cause this issue.

  • Can't send AOL mail but can receive it

    I have had my Droid 2 for 3 months and still can't send AOL email but can receive it.  My outgoing settings are:  smtp.aol.com - port 587

    The best thing to do will be to go into the account menu and delete the account to make sure we set it up with the correct server information. The steps to delete the account are listed below:
    Menu
    My Accounts
    Menu
    Remove Account
    Choose the AOL Account
    Once you have done this we can re-add the account with the manual setup. The steps to do this are below:
    Locate and Select the Mail icon from your Applications Menu. You will see a place to enter your Username and Password.
    After entering your full email and password, select Manual Setup. You should now be on the Incoming Server page.
    Locate the drop down box at the top that typically displays "POP3" by default. Touch and change the selection to IMAP.
    In the Incoming Server box, change the entry so that it displays "imap.aol.com". Nothing else should need editing; Select Next.
    You are not on the Outgoing server page. Change the Outgoing server box so that the entry displays "smtp.aol.com". Nothing else should need editing; Select Next.
    Assuming everything went through with success, you will now be prompted to choose display/account names for the email. If you are planning on setting up multiple emails, then label so that you can differentiate this one from the others.
    Once you have done this it will begin to receive emails with 15 minutes.

  • Can't Send Mail w/ AOL

    I can receive mail, but can't send it. I get the message "the connection to the outgoing server smtp.aol.com failed".
    Any help is appreciated. FYI, It worked fine before the last update.

    Are you connected edge or wifi.
    What you might try doing is finding the incoming and outgoing mail servers that your account uses for aol. Set up the email account as other and not using the aol shortcut. then for the outgoing mail server you can change the port the iphone is using by adding a colon after the outgoing mail host name and putting the port number. Something like smtp.aol.com:587.
    Try ports 587 and 465.
    Also, try toggling ssl for outgoing mail under advanced in the email account settings.

  • Hi there, i can't send letter using Mail on Mac with AOL mail.

    Hey there, i can't send letter using Mail on Mac with AOL mail. But i can receive all letters.
    Also using iCloud in Mail. What to do? Or maybe i can send letters only from iCloud/Me mail if i am using more than one mailbox in Mail?
    Thanks

  • I have a iMac destop 10.6.2 and use the AOL Mail web site with your Firefox Browser. It has worked great for years. I update the firefox to 6.1 and now I cannot send images using the Firefox browser. With Safari browser it works fine.

    I use AOL mail - http://www.aol.com/ with my Firefox 6.1 browser. Before updating aol mail worked great with firefox for years. Now when I try to send ( upload) messages with a file or images I always get the reading " there was a technical problem and I should try again". Messages with NO files or images go through just fine. I have cleared the Firefox history, the cache and cookies and the problem remained the same. The question is does this problem have something to do with the latest update ? AOL are still only familar with the 3.6 Firefox versions. Thanks

    Well I guess I was too optimistic. Since last posting I have had three hang events, one during reboot. When the login dialog box came up I clicked on it and it hung.
    However I do have a new data point. I have enabled the remote login (sshd). I have discovered that when the system hangs like I described above, I can still log in via SSH from my Windows system. The shell appears normal, but when I tried a "killall Safari" command the OS crashed hard. After a hard reset, the system hung during the login process. Again I could login remotely, and that time I executed a "sudo reboot" via the remote session. That cleared the display to all-blue but did not successfully reboot.
    Can anyone suggest what to try via the remote login to help diagnose what is happening? I am familiar with typical Linux architecture but the differences in Mac OS X are leaving me a bit disoriented.

  • Can't send any emails from various accounts set up in mail 4.4

    I have a number of different email accounts (3 POP, 1 IMAP) set up in mail 4.4. Lately i have had some problems sending emails from some of the accounts. Usually, I get the outgoing mail server reject message, and then I try another server, and then it sends. THe next time I go to send an email through the outgoing server that I was rejected by, it sends without problems. Each time I shutdown, restart, or open the lid on the macbook, I go through the same process. UNTIL today. Now, I can't send ANYTHING outbound, via any of the 4 outgoing mail servers that I have set up. I have run with this same configuration without change for almost 3 years. Only change is that I have recently changed ISPs. Please help. Work from home, so critical problem.

    I had had the same problem after changing my ISP. It is definitely a Mail 4.4 problem. I partially fixed it by trashing all four of my e-mail accounts in mail preferences (simply click on the minus sign to delete them) and rebuilding them all with the correct settings and passwords. This worked fine with ATT, MSN and QWest but the Mail app simply refuses to connect to AOL's outgoing mail server (smtp.aol.com). In other words, I can receive AOL mail but I cannot send AOL mail using the Mac Mail app. Have to log on to AOL's web site and do it that way, which is a huge pain in the you know where. Mail 4.4 is definitely hinky -- keeps erasing passwords and asking for them again and again. As a result, my keychain contains numerous repetitions of the same password for each mail account. I don't know why Apple doesn't fix this problem, which recurs with depressing regularity according to many Mac Mail users on this forum.

  • Can't send e-mail no matter what I do

    I can receive e-mail but everytime I try to send I get the message:
    Cannot send message using the server smtp.aol.com:(with my screen name here)
    I have tried 6 different varations and nothing works.
    I used the assistant and called AOL and followed every direction to the letter.
    It doesn't matter what outgoing mail server I use it doesn't work.
    I am using OS X 10.4.11
    I also have OS X 10.5 Leopard and mail works perfectly there.
    I like Tiger better and would like to get mail working here.
    Would appreciate any help.
    Thank you.

    Hi WilliamP!
    Have you compared the settings that work in Leopard 10.5.x, with the ones that do not in Tiger 10.4.x?
    Here are the AOL mail settings For Apple Mail, that should work.
    -Account Type: IMAP
    -Incoming Mail Server: imap.aol.com
    -Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.aol.com:Your AOL Screenname Here
    -Server Port: 587

  • FireFox will not send AOL mail, It tries about 5 minutes, then says there is a problem with sending mail.

    Hi
    I'm working on a Mac with 10.4.11 and using AOL as my mail, for the last 2 days I can't send mail from my FireFox, I can receive but not send.
    I'm using FoxFire 3.6.10; I've tried cleaning cache, but it didn't help.
    I don't think it is my system, because I can send mail on the Safari.
    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • AOL Mail Client can't download pictures from Apple Mail?

    Hey gang-
    My sister and her family use the current Windows AOL email client to send and receive email. I sent them some JPEGs using Apple Mail, and I selected "Send Windows Friendly Attachments" before composing the message. Anyhow, they can see the pictures in the AOL mail client, but they don't seem to be able to download the JPEGs to disk. They say they've never had this problem before, so I wonder if it's an issue with how Apple Mail sends the JPEGs?
    I have no idea how the Windows AOL mail client works, but does anyone know of any general guidance I can give them?
    Thanks!
    Dave

    Dave,
    Travis has captured all the facets of the problem. I will only add that the surest way to send to AOL is to use Plain Text. This has always been the advice with Mail (i.e., not use RTF to AOL recipients) but additional factors have been added by Mail 2.0. Whenever RTF is used, along with attachments, and there is furthermore a mixture of fonts utilized, Mail converts to use HTML, and changes the status of files attached, even for users other than AOL. The most common sources of mixed font usage are from a Signature, or from text included in replying, or forwarding.
    When sending to AOL users, continue to use Windows Friendly, but also use Plain Text. If you do not wish to set Plain Text as the default in Compose, then on these messages, click on Format in the Menu Bar, and choose Make Plain Text on an individual message.
    Let us know if problems persist, despite this method.
    Ernie

  • Can't send pictures through Mail!

    I can send, receive emails, but I can't send emails with pics attached. Tried resizing the pics to smaller sizes, but no affect. I have sbc global yahoo and I've put smtp.att.yahoo.com as the output server for the 3 email accounts I've tethered (gmail, aol, uci webmail). I've set the settings according to what their help sites suggested but I've found no reason why I can't send any pictures. I can send pictures by going to the sites, logging in, and sending it there, but not through Apple Mail.

    I have not used entourage for a long time. You should be able to attach files: images or documents should be no problem. Why try to send images from iPhoto? Just size them, and use whatever. I am sure you can import or export your address books between the two programs, or even from an older computer! Whatever is your ctive email program, you are going to receive photo attachments when someone sends on to you.
    You can put whatever application icon in the dock that you want. My Office X would not install; I bought 2004, and did the default install and entourage is in the dock. I can remove it and bring it back as I chose to. I do have most of my 3rd party apps in the dock, for my convenience.
    Whatever you choose to not use, just remove from dock; when you do, you are not deleting it from computer; it's still in your applications folder.
    When in the finder, try going to the help menu.

    Hello Andy.
    First of all, and although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment as been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com].
    As for your problem, read this support article. Hopefully it will be helpful:

  • Can't send talktalk emails from apple mail.

    My talk talk inbox on the apple mail programme is stubbornly empty and I can't send emails from it. My aol account works fine. It's a POP setting account I think and the incoming port number is correct at 110. Don't know how to check the outgoing port which I gather should be 587. How can I repopulate my inbox and send emails from the laptop again? I can from my phone and iPad.

    No, there have been no problems here. Run Connection Doctor, and tell us what it reports, particularly about the SMTP?
