Apple Mail - Hotmail server offline - can't send but can receive mail, Apple Mail - Hotmail server offline - can't send but can receive mail

I've had no issues for the past 2 years but suddenly I can't send email from my hotmail accounts via applemail.
I've deleted accounts and readded them. I've checked all the mail settings are correct. I've disabled any antivirus software. I've done this repeatedly, but still get the same issues.
The only thing i have changed in the last week is that I have switched to a fixed IP address as I needed this for my business.
Can anyone help please?

Hey,
I found this worked for me, just check your hotmail settings are as follows
You change your POP to IMAP like this
Outlook.com does support IMAP and SMTP.
Incoming server:
IMAP: imap-mail.outlook.com
Port: 993
Encrypted Connection: SSL
Outgoing server:
SMTP: smtp-mail.outlook.com
Port: 25 or 587
Encrypted Connection: TLS
Username: Your Username
Password: Your Password
This won't work on mac os x mail unless you disable pop in your outlook.com account first. If you have mac os x mail, and you don't disable pop in your outlook.com account first, mail will automatically setup pop and smtp.

Can not send be-mail os10.9.4 server offline !!

can not send be-mail os10.9.4 server offline !!

Hey there mikeneiris,
It sounds like you are not able to send any emails because the account is showing as offline. I recommend these steps from the following article to help you get that going again:
Mail (Mavericks): If a mailbox is offline
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14925?viewlocale=en_US
To take an account online, click the lightning bolt icon. Or choose Mailbox > Online Status > Take [account name] Online, or Mailbox > Take All Accounts Online.
If you can’t take an account online, make sure you’re connected to the Internet. If a warning icon appears after the account name, click it for more information.
Use Connection Doctor
Some mailbox names can appear dimmed if you don’t have permission to access them, such as “public” mailboxes on a server, or if the mail server is unavailable.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Yosemite Apple Mail tells me one of my gmail servers is offline. I can receive but not send.

I have 3 Gmail accounts on my MacBook Pro which has recently been updated to Yosemite OS x 10.10.1
Storage 1TB. RAM 8GB
Internet access (Webmail) works fine on all my gmail accounts, so the servers are definitely online
I am now having trouble with Apple Mail and my main Gmail account
I can receive e-mails OK but am unable to send
Mail keeps telling me the smtp.gmail.com server is offline and I should verify my user name and password
On Webmail I am able to both send and receive emails
It seems the problem lies with Apple Mail
I have tried the app specific password a couple of times
It doesn't work
I have tried connection doctor and everything is green except outgoing smtp which just spins
Today, another of my gmail accounts is showing the same problem
Is there a conflict between Yosemite Apple mail and Gmail?
It's a long winded workaround, but can I set up a shortcut to webmail on all three accounts and dispense with Apple Mail?

There's a sequence of steps in the support article for each of several possible scenarios of a connection failure in Mail. Please describe in detail what happened when you followed the applicable sequence all the way to the very end, without skipping any of the steps. That's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem.

Can't send e-mail- smtp server offline or disappeared

Hi!
I've had issues sending e-mail from my @mac address for about a week. I can send from iCloud on the web but not from iPad, iPhone or MacBook.
Sometimes the server is offline, sometimes just not there at all - the error msg gives the smtp info and says I can't connect. Connection Doctor says everything is fine.
I've tried….
- turning off iCloud on all devices and re-booting
- removing a second e-mail account
- manually changing smtp settings
Receiving mail is fine.
can anyone help??!

TS3276 Inadvertently deleted Outgoing SMTP Mail Server. Entered correct Yahoo email SMTP info and now SMTP is "Offline". Can't SEND emails. Help!

Inadvertently deleted SMTP Outgoing Mail Server address. Re-entered correct mail service provider's address and now have '(Offline)' tagged on server name. Can't SEND any emails. When I try, message will not send but goes into Outbox and sits. How can I get this SMTP address 'Online'? Help!

For whatever reason Yahoo blocked access to their mail servers from Apple Mail in the past couple of days. I deleted my Yahoo account in Apple Mail and tried to add it back. NO JOY.
Today, Yahoo has reopened their servers so that I could add my Yahoo account to Apple Mail again successfully. Even w the second app password.
The problem was at Yahoo. Apple Mail people were either blocked or knocked off from their Yahoo servers for a time. This may happen again as it has in the past. I hope it doesn't become a frequent happening.

The receiving email ports are:
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995
Outgoing ports are...
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

Outgoing SMTP server says "offline" can't send e-mails

Set up new iCloud e-mail. Incoming mail works. Outgoing SMTP server says "offline." Can't send e-mails from this account. Need info on how to set it up. Thanks.

You might want to try signing out of your iCloud account, then back in. Go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac, then sign back in.
This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your Mac, but not from iCloud. It will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in, after a brief delay as it redownloads.

HT1277 i have all the correct settings for my e mail but i can't send for some reason it keeps taking my outgoing server offline

i have all the correct settings for my e mail but i can't send for some reason it keeps taking my outgoing server offline can anyone help

If you can receive mail and your connection to your ISP is otherwise working, but cannot send mail, then your SMTP settings are incorrect; the SMTP server port is wrong, your SSL setting is wrong, or the username or password credentials don't match what the ISP has, or your attempted accesses are being blocked or your ISP SMTP server is offline.
And in general, don't use port 25 for your outbound mail, unless your ISP specifically requires that; these days, that port is best left to communications between mail servers and (usually) not used by any mail clients.

I can't sent mail from my apple phone 5 and iPad both. Every time I send error msg says my mail I'd is rejected by server. Though I can receive mails

So pls explain me why it's happening

It would help if you identified who your email provider is.
Check that the parameters you set up is Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars for this account are correct per what your Mail service recommends.
Check the support for your email provider for assistance, FAQs, etc.

Using OS Mavericks can't send mail on hotmail?

I can't send mail on hotmail using os x mavericks, why?

I also was having the SMTP (offline) issue for Gmail and Comcast after upgrading to Maverick but not immediately. I read through all the posts. I was not seeing a common thread for a solution so I decided to bite the bullet and call Apple(if it costs, it costs). I set up a call back. They called me in 15 minutes, set up a view of my screen and proceeded to troubleshoot. He started by going to "Window" "connection doctor". Observed the red dots and descriptions as being a username/password issue. Then went to "mail","Preference", account icon and entered the gmail 2-step verification password generated by Gmail and before clicking done (on the Gmail website),clicked on the "SMTP Mail server" box and chose "edit SMTP server list". In the window that appeared also entered the same Gmail generated password there as well. We then tested by going to the "Connection Doctor" getting green dots for both incoming and outgoing Gmail entries. Next test was sending email to myself. It worked. We did the corresponding procedure for the Comcast account. It took 25 minutes and cost nothing. I was surprised at the price since my iMac is 4 years old. I hope this lasts and I don't get really good at this procedure.

Why can I no longer send email from my Hotmail SMTP account using Mail?

I can no longer send email from my Hotmail SMTP account using Mail. The connection doctor says it can't connect to the SMTP server. All the settings look to be correct and it was working fine before. I can still email using my iPhone with the same account.

Other may post it is some type of change with your ISP but the simple fact is this happen with Apple Mac Mail all the time.
IMHO Mac Mail is one of, if not the, worst mail program ever written.
Do yourself a big favor and start using some other mail program, any other Mail program.

Loaded Yosemite onto mid 2011 MacBook Air. IMAP account goes offline - message - Mail cannot send your password securely to the server. Allow insecure authentication doesn't work. Repeated reloads. No joy. Help!

Mail cannot send your password securely to the server. You can remove this restriction in the Accounts preferences by setting “Allow insecure authentication”, which could put your password at risk.

I have the same problem.
Late 2012 imac 27", intel i7 core
When I upgraded to Yosemite, suddenly my email account (netvigator POP) gives an error:
Mail cannot send your password securely to the server. You can remove this restriction in the Accounts preferences by setting “Allow insecure authentication”, which could put your password at risk.
I have shut down & restarted mail, but no success. If I select Allow insecure authentication, it works, but that's not a long term fix.
I also have a hotmail POP account enabled, and that is working fine.
What's happening Apple??
(Long term apple family - iMac, iBooks, TimeCapsule, iPhones, iPads, AirportExpress etc etc)
