Apple mail doesn't send letters.

No connection or server problems.
I can receive mail, read it, even edit answers, but the button "send" is not active all the time.
It starts without any reason, mail worked good before.
Please help! thx!

I deleted draft mails and every account, after doing a new one for every server my mail appears to be fine.
I suffered for 5 days but I think I solved my problem,
thank you if someone took some care for me,

    This doesn't look like a problem with Firefox, but with the attachment that you are putting on the email is blocked. You can read the link the error message gave you, which basically says that :
    "ade", "adp", "bat", "chm", "cmd", "com", "cpl", "exe",
    "hta", "ins", "isp", "jse", "lib", "mde", "msc", "msp",
    "mst", "pif", "scr", "sct", "shb", "sys", "vb", "vbe",
    "vbs", "vxd", "wsc", "wsf", "wsh"
    Gmail won't accept these types of files even if they are sent in a zipped (.zip, .tar, .tgz, .taz, .z, .gz, .rar) format. If this type of message is sent to your Gmail address, it is bounced back to the sender automatically.

  • Mail doesn't send to certain e-mail addresses, receiving seems ok

    I am using the latest version of the Apple Mail application under Leopard (with all updates downloaded). About a month ago I e-mailed a friend from my home account and unusually didn’t get a reply. I then e-mailed again a few weeks after, again no reply. After a phone conversation found out she didn’t receive either of my mails. This prompted many test e-mails, the outcome of which was the following:
    1 - Was able to receive my friend’s e-mails, but if I replied using Apple mail (hitting the reply button), my reply never got back to her.
    2 - Was able to send to and receive my friend’s e-mails using MS outlook from my place of work using a PC and my work e-mail account. No problems.
    3 - Was able to send and receive to my work account from my home account using Apple Mail, no problems.
    4 - Was able to send and receive my friend e-mails from my home account, using web mail rather than using Apple Mail.
    5 - Could no longer e-mail my wife using the Apple Mail (and she could not e-mail me), we both use the same ISP. However using web mail rather than Apple Mail we could still send and receive e-mails from each other.
    6 - Phoned my ISP, my account seems to be ok, which was also confirmed by using webmail as described in the previous two points.
    7 - Other than the regular Apple updates the Mail app is the same client I have been using since I got my new Mac last October. I didn’t appear to have any problems until about a month ago and have made no changes to settings etc.
    8 - When I do attempt to send e-mails to my wife or friend, I get the usual whooshing sound and a progress bar to show that the mail has been sent. The outbox is empty and the mail appears in the sent box, but never arrives to its destination. No error messages or e-mail bounce backs, nothing.
    9 - Downloaded and installed Thunderbird, all the problems seem to go away – I can now send and receive e-mails from both my wife and friend.
    It’s a bit weird that Apple Mail seems to have taken an aversion to sending mail to some particular e-mail addresses. Unless someone can explain what is going on here, I think that this is a serious problem. As I’ve mentioned, there is no hint that Apple Mail is not sending e-mail, as far as I was concerned e-mails were leaving my Mac. Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there an easy fix?

    I just did a quick test in InDesign CC and my one worked. Maybe you should delete the button and redo it.
    By the way on a slightly different matter, do you know that to enable users to complete the form and store it on their computer using Acrobat Reader, you need to enable the form as follows:
    Open the form in Acrobat XI  and then:
    File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes for fill-in & save). . . Your users will be able to fill in the form and save it (assuming they have the later versions of Acrobat Reader).
    Make sure you keep a copy of your original PDF with a different file name as once you've created a Reader Enabled PDF Form you can't change it.

  • My Apple Mail doesn't work properly on a specific wifi network.

    When I'm on a friend's wifi network with my Macbook, Apple Mail doesn't refresh and get new mail. However, all the other internet functionality works just fine on the laptop.
    This is specifically the only wifi network that doesn't let my Apple Mail connect to Gmail. Apple mail works properly on any other wifi network.
    Are there specific network settings I need to check on the wireless router?

    Hello hi_team,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    It's possible that your friends ISP (or perhaps even his router) is blocking the port that your email account is using to receive mail on. This port number depends on what type of account it is, whether that be IMAP, POP3, SMTP, SecurePOP3, etc. See this article for a list of common port numbers used with these different email account types.

    Other than that I don't have too many other suggestions, but I'm sure somebody else will.

  • AOL mail doesn't send .doc-files with Firefox

    When using Firefox AOL Mail doesn't send .doc-files. Instead a corrupted file with a different size is sent. Any other file type works aswell as sending .doc-files with other browsers works...

    I'm getting a similar problem. Snow Leopard Mail for me seems to be choking on large attachments - sending them, forwarding them, or even moving them from one IMAP folder to another.
    My mails are getting through, but it takes a long time and they are dragging the whole system to a crawl in the process.

  • Mac Mail do not send letters

    Hi !
    Suddenly Mac Mail stops to send letters.
    "Sent" letters appear at Sent folder of Mail aplication and on web interface (if log in to icloud.com)
    If send letters from icloud directly - all is fine.
    The problem appear suddenly, nothing change at applications.
    Everything updated to latest revisions.
    Any suggestions welcome !

    Bump this one.
    I have the same problem with my mail after update - Any suggestions anyone?

  • Apple Mail won't send invitations when initially closed

    I just started using iCal to send invitations for appointments through Apple Mail. When Apple Mail is opened already when I create the appointment and click Send in iCal, it works fine. The mail is sent and delivered to the appropriate address.
    But if Apple Mail is closed initially, the application starts and the invitation is queued up in the Outbox but is never sent. I can manually open up each invitation in Mail and send them individually, but why is the behavior different? Whether Mail is opened or closed when I send an invitation, it ought to deliver the invitation automatically. By not being sent, I may not realize the invitation hasn't been delivered, making the process very error-prone. Is there a way to guarantee the invitation actually gets sent without having to check the Outbox every time?
    Is this an iCal bug or an Apple Mail bug? I saw no settings in Apple Mail for sending messages at shutdown or any other setting like this. Instead, these invitations may end up being buried in my Outbox for a very long time before I notice and by then, it may be too late.

    The most recent OS is currently OS 10.8.3.  Your system profile confirms you are still using Mac OS X (10.7.5).  If this is incorrect, please correct your profile so that you will get the correct troubleshooting suggestions/solutions.

  • Apple Mail doesn't support IMAP IDLE

    I had started using Entourage for a while just for testing since I had reacently started using a new IMAP server and I wanted to see how all the different email software behaves differently so that I can know what everyone will expect to see. Probably my favorite feature of the IMAP4rev1 protocol is IDLE. This feature gives the client the ability to stay connected to server so that the second an email comes in, it is "pushed" to the client.
    This is very different from the way that with POP3 and HTTPmail that you need to poll the server. Here's the real bummer for me though, my absolute favorite email client, Apple Mail, DOESN'T SUPPORT 'IMAP IDLE'!!!!!!!
    I beg you Apple to please realease a new version of Apple Mail that supports IDLE properly so that the client can stay connected to the IMAP server.
    Other not as important feature requests/bugs that I have:
    * CRAM-MD5 authentication on SMTP doesn't work for me in Apple Mail even though my server supports it and it works fine in other email clients
    * A three pane vertical view similar to Entourage/Outlook... It would just be a nice option
    * Ability to hide individual IMAP folders aka Unsubscribe
    * AND ONCE AGAIN PLEASE SUPPORT IDLE!!!
    Now if I have this all wrong and there is some way to turn IDLE on that is a hidden setting, someone please tell me. I'd be interested in hearing what someone from Apple has to say about this missing feature. Thank you!
    1.5GHz 15" PowerBook Aluminum   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   2GB RAM, 60GB 7200 RPM HD, SuperDrive, iSight

    No, all this does is download all of my emails and cache all of them locally (regardless of what folder they are in). I wouldn't want this to happen because I definitely have over 100MB stored on my email server.
    IDLE is something entirely different... I'm still hoping to get a reply from Apple.
    If anybody else is annoyed with this please file a feature/bug request/submit form at www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/ so that we can try to get this resolved soon via some sort of update. OS X 10.5 is still a ways away so I'd definitely like to see an update to 2.05 before we get to 3.0.

  • How to repair Apple Mail's frozen 'send' button?

    how to repair Apple Mail's frozen 'send' button?

    More details on the particular "adjustments", please?
    AFAIK, there's no documented to insinuate a change into an outbound SMTP message (if that's what you're up to here) within Apple Mail.
    Most commonly, these sorts of header adjustments arise at an intermediate mail server.  Usually spam filters have something similar. 
    If these particular "adjustments" are possible within Mail, then it's likely via the undocumented plugins API underneath Apple Mail.  And, well, that API is not documented.  And the plugins API has changed at various Apple Mail updates, too; it's clearly not a stable API.

  • Upgraded to Lion, now Apple Mail no longer sends via SMTP to GMAIL

    Greetings! First and foremost, THANK YOU for reading this discussion.  I truly appreciate any and all assistance. Being one who likes to exhaust all resources before posting, I have literally spent that last 7 and a half hours reading pages and pages of threads here, on Google Forums along with finding other data across the net.
    The problem started immediately upon the LION upgrade.   Everything worked fine until the upgrade and then BOOM...no more Apple Mail sending to Gmail SMTP server.  I can receive Gmail just fine, but no can send.When a message is sent, after a long while, an error message pops up stating that the SMTP server is "off line."  Obviously it is timing out.
    I have confirmed the settings in Preferences.  I have cleaned the hard drive (running the internal First Aid app).  I confirmed the password was correct in KeyChain.  I have tried a lot of corrective methods as stated in the threads.
    I have tried using different ports (25, 465, 587).  I have set the connection from smtp.gmail.com to actual IP addresses including the following:
    209.85.227.109
    74.125.91.109
    74.125.39.16
    74.125.157.109
    74.125.113.109
    173.194.68.109
    I tried it with and without TLS/SSL enabled.
    With authentication and without.
    I even tried to telnet from the Mac to smtp.gmail.com without success.  (I can telnet from a Windows machine though...OUCH)
    I am NOT running LION OS X server, just plain old LION OS 10.8.2 on my MacBrook Pro.
    Thank you in advance for any and all courtesies extended.  Looking to resume using Apple Mail with my Gmail account ASAP.
    Sincerely,
    MWG2  

    Thanks Lanny...tried it...still doesn't work.  Called Apple Support...switched to Tier 2 support person Chris P. Was on the phone with him for 2 hours and 38 minutes...we tried everything under the sun...still can't get to smtp.gmail.com...can't even telnet to it from Mac.  We did network testing too...he thought my router was blocking ports 25, 465 & 587 but the router wasn't. After exhausting every concievable MAC setting, trying a number or solutions, killing the account and re-installing multiple times, his conclusion is that there is a third party software "blocking" the send in gmail...ummmmm...makes no sense to me as everything worked perfectly until I upgraded to OS X. Hence his solution is for me to take my Mac to the Apple Store and have them look at it.  My solution?  Don't use mail on the Mac and keep using Mail on my Windows machine.  I prefer Mac, but I have now spent over the last two days in excess of 10 hours on this problem...it's not supposed to be this difficult. Lesson Learned...if something's working, DON'T goof with it...Apple Mail under Snow Leopard worked perfectly...upgraded to Mt. LION (paid for it) and now I am really paying the price for doing that.   

  • Thunderbird works fine, Apple Mail can't send (and other problems)

    I have both Thunderbird and Mail setup exactly alike. Thunderbird can send mail just fine, every time, from any location. Mail was able to send messages a few times but for the last few days refuses to send anything.
    Here's the setup:
    Four smtp servers
    mail.bellsouth.net
    mailer.louisiana.edu
    smtp.coxmail.com
    smtp.central.cox.net
    each is setup with password SSL authentication. Each works just fine on any other computer and even on this one with Thunderbird. Apple Mail is the only problem. (and yes - ALL SETTINGS ARE EXACTLY CORRECT)
    NO - port 25 is NOT the issue - it works fine with other software on this computer and others - it is ONLY Apple Mail which can't manage to connect to the servers.
    I use an AirPort extreme and have reset it repeatedly. (I can usually connect to an smtp after doing so but only until Mail attempts to send) I have tried a direct ethernet connection as well. Same results.
    Mail refuses to connect to any smtp server. (it connects to the POP servers just fine) Occasionally, if I retype in the smtp password, or even delete it and turn off SSL, it will connect for a short time. (until I try to send a message)
    What's the deal?
    I see others have similar problems, but all seem to be ISP related. In this case, I've controlled for everything I can think except Apple Mail.
    A few other problems, maybe related or not:
    Mail has NEVER saved any messages I have sent out in any type of 'sent' folder. Sometimes the folder appears, sometimes it doesn't, but it is always empty. And yes, the setting to 'delete messages in the sent folder' is set to NEVER. So they should all be there.
    Additionally, the very FIRST note I created was saved in my Inbox as it should have been. NOT ONE single subsequent note has saved - I lost every one of them. (I also can't seem to find any means to manually save the note - how ridiculous)
    Finally, though it isn't that important at the moment, when Mail can't manage to connect to an smtp server, it just sits there and tries to send forever. Sometimes it will tell me it failed and suggest another server, sometimes not. In all cases, there does not seem to be a "STOP" button or command to tell Mail to quit transmitting/receiving.
    I'd really like to use this program since it integrates with iCal and Addressbook, but this is getting absurd.
    Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

    Who is your isp?
    If it is Cox they say on their site that you have to use only their smtp server.
    Other than the mailer server (of which I have no info), I question the ssl setting.
    Cox specifically say to not use ssl when setting up the outgoing server.
    Bellsouth do not appear to require authentication and do not use ssl either.

    "each is setup with password SSL authentication. Each works just fine on any other computer"
    Are any of the other computers mac's?
    You say that "it works fine with other software on this computer" - what is this other software that is using ssl and port 25 to connect to the smtp servers?
    Port 25 is not used for ssl, use either 587 (standard) or in some cases 465 (non-standard).

  • Apple Mail - Can't Send - Buttons do not respond

    I have a new mac on the network,I setup a pop3 account in Apple Mail. It received fine but will not send.
    No errors are reported. When I create a new message and click the send, it doesn't nothing. Same response as if I click save as draft. I have tried just changing the smtp settings but it doesn't make any difference. Any suggestions?

    Are you really running Mac OS X 10.4.1, as your profile indicates? If not, then please update the Operating System field on your My Settings’s profile (and click Save), so that it accurately reflects the version of Mac OS X you’re running now. This is essential information that should always be provided when asking for help.
    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.

  • Apple Mail can never send messages!

    I have a gmail account that I view through Apple Mail. Anytime I try to send a message to someone, I get this error.
    "Cannot send message using the serve smtp.gmail.com:[email protected]
    Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server. All messages will use this server until you quit Mail or change your Network settings.
    Message from : <[email protected]>
    Send Message using: smtp.gmail.com:[email protected]
    Options: Cancel, Use Selected Server, or Try Again Later."
    Ususally, I click Use Selected Server and it works but sometimes it doesn't. First of all, it should work the first time around and never give me this message. Secondly, even after the second attempt it's not 100% reliable.
    What's wrong?
    P.S.

    Never Mind. Fixed it.
    Apple Mail users: At times, Mail may misinterpret your SMTP server settings. If you currently have 'smtp.gmail.com:[email protected]' in the 'Outgoing Mail Server:' field of your settings, please try changing the field to 'smtp.gmail.com' and saving your settings.

  • Apple Mail: Email not sending from default account

    Note: Default email send worked fine in Mavericks. The issues seems to be new in Yosemite.
    I have 3 emails accounts: Exchange, Gmail, Yahoo. In that order. They are placed in that order in the Accounts section of Apple Mail. They are also placed in that order in the mailbox listing under Inbox in mail.
    When creating a new email, the top account, Exchange, is rarely chosen as default. Either Gmail or Yahoo are chosen...and occasionally Exchange. I send 90% of my mail from the Exchange SMTP server; now forced to manually change the outbound Account within the mail message itself almost every time.
    Again, this is a brand new issue in Yosemite where it doesn't appear to recognize the default account to send email from in Mail.
    Anybody else seeing this?
