Apple Mail trouble sending messages

I added my Slippery Rock University account to the apple mail server and all of my messages showed up, but when I try to send an email it says there is something wrong with the server and it will not send. How can I fix this?
All of the information I needed was right here: http://www.sru.edu/academics/iats/SupportServices/RSCHD/Documents/RockMailConfig .pdf
Did I do something wrong?

1) In the Menu bar under Window select Connection Doctor.
Do you see red lights? If yes, most likely you need to enter your passwords.
If you see all green lights your connections are good.
You can also open the Activity window under Window to see the messages as they download.
2) Create a Smart folder. Under Mailbox in the Menu bar select New Smart Mailbox.
Create a new folder to see messages recevied today (include the trash)
Do you see the messages now? If yes, we need to see where the messages are filed.
What email provider? (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, Earthlink, Comcast, ATT, other)

but we're still going to the apple store to see what they can tell us!!!

Why does my Apple Mail insert old messages into the body of new emails?

Why does my Apple Mail insert old messages into the body of new emails? The correct sender's name will appear in the "From" column, but an old message from a different sender in the body. This happens randomly. I have an iMac OSX 10.6.8. I recently had the hard drive cleaned, but Apple Mail seemed to be running fine when I set it up again. Could this be a virus? What should I do about it? Thanks for any insights!

Thanks. While you were replying to my question, I went into notifications and figured
it out. Appreciate the quick response!

Anyone have any solutions?

Addendum
Sending straight from the mail client in any/all of the Yahoo accounts works just fine. The bug just seems to happen when sending links from Safari.

Yahoo Mail - "Cannot Send Message"

Hello,
I am having issues with Yahoo mail and sending messages. It seems to happen specifically while trying to send emails with attachments. I receive an error that says "Error sending message" and alludes to a connection problem but I don't see any detailed error information with it.
The MacBook connects either directly to a Ethernet cable or wireless to a NetGear WGR602.
I don't know much about Safari but are there are settings I can modify to see if the issue can be resolved? The user says that she does not have this problem at home but only when she is on this network.
Has anyone encountered this and have any tips I can try to resolve it? When I get some time to sit and work on the laptop I will check to see what versions all of the software is at. Right now I have only had a few minutes to sit at the MacBook and observe the errors.
Thanks in advance!

Short of installing Firefox or moving directly to Mac Mail, is there anything I can look to do either with Safari or the Yahoo interface itself?
Not really. If the user has a free Yahoo! Mail account, they can't use Mail to send/receive anyway; they'd have to pay $20 a year for a Yahoo! Mail Plus account for that privilege.
Yahoo! has never made any real effort to be standards-compliant, much less compatibile with Macintosh, which is why some features work only when using Firefox on a Mac (because Firefox is the second-most popular browser for Windoze). The only other thing the user could do is use the Yahoo! Help pages for Yahoo! Mail and send them an email using their web form about their problem and see if they can address the issue on their end, since it is their problem. He/She should make it crystal-clear that they are using Safari for Mac OS X, and if they get a boilerplate reply about IE, reply to that and ask for a supervisor.
They could also try using the Develop menu in Safari to select a different User Agent in the hope that spoofing an IE browser will make it work, but there's no guarantee with that. They could just resign themselves to using Firefox when using Yahoo! Mail, or they could also try switching to the "Classic" Yahoo! Mail interface, which will have some limitations in features, but it may also avoid this problem when sending some email.

This is a problem with your carrier. You can contact them and ask why you cannot send text messages. Have you tried restarting your phone or restoring it yet?

I'm Having Trouble Sending Messages Over IMessage.

Okay, so I have a 4th generation ipod touch that I'm having trouble sending messages on. It's up to date on 6.0.1. It's also brand new. I only got it 3 days ago, but nevertheless i'm already having problems with imessage not sending messages. The odd thing is it only won't send messages at 12:00/1:00 am- about 10:00 am. The rest of the time I have no problems with it. Also, I should add that I live in an area that does not have high-speed internet but I get it over satillite. So my internet speed is not the best. But I didn't have this problem with my old ipod that I used a day prior to using this one. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Can be temporary with POP perhaps, but should work. With IMAP, it is required that copies of messages be kept for local searching.

OSX Mail - Cannot send message using the server ....

Hi there,
Mac Pro with OSX 10.6.
*Can receive mail, but can no longer send email* using the program Mail.
Been getting the popup "Cannot send message using the server [shawmail.vc.shawcable.net] for the past 3 days. I hadn't changed anything about my computer, and have had the Mac for 2+ years. So this just started doing it on it's own.
I had a technical support guy from my service provider even interface with my computer, where he could see my desktop right over the internet, and he couldn't get it fixed either.
I googled this problem, and found solutions like:
1. Uncheck "Use SSL" (Done that, and it was never checked "on" to begin with)
2. Make sure Authentication is set to none, with no password (done that, and it wasn't set with a password to begin with)
3. Delete [user]/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (done that, didn't do anything)
4. We even totally deleted my account, and started a new fresh one. Didn't work
The tech support guy did show me a way to email online, using the same email account. That worked, but it's a hassle to go onto a web-based email program -- it's not my preference. So, with great certainty, it's not my service provider, because I was able to send emails on this web-based email program using my email account.
So there, I'm stumped.
Hopefully someone can help. What's bizarre is that googling this problem, I have found many other people that say it happens arbitrarily, out of nowhere.

I can't believe how ridiculous this issue is. i have been searching for days for a solution to this. i have tried EVERY recommendation on these forums and nothing works. It appears that this issue dates back to TIGER. I had this problem back in January and just bagged figuring it had something to do with iweb. I bought a new html program and was able to send out my newsletter last month no problem. Suddenly, one month later- here i am again, unable to send out my newsletter with no help from Apple or verizon, or these forims, or anyone else. To think that a company that I have stood behind and loved so much can't be be bothered fixing such a simple issue that has been going on now through 5 OS's (I am using Lion but I had the issue using leopard as well) is a disgrace.

Apple Mail - Email Send Field Showing Different Data, Unable To Sort Correctly

Hi All,
I'm having a very annoying issue in Apple Mail, running 10.6. Some of the incoming mail messages are showing the sender's email address in the "From" field, rather than the person's "Name". There are also cases where this is happening, but this time the email address in the From field has angle brackets ( < and > ) around it. This makes sorting of emails by sender incorrect and broken apart.
So the three different ways it's displaying in the Mail window are:
From
Subject
John Smith
Lunch Today
[email protected]
Lunch Today
<[email protected]> <[email protected]>
Lunch Today
Here's what else I know:
- The error is NOT limited to a specific person, email address or mail domain. In other words, it has occurred differently with the same sender.
- The errors seem to occur in periods of time. In other words, it will display "correct" for a period of time (weeks or even months), then display "wrong" for a period of time. So it's not like every other message is different.
We contacted our ISP to see if they knew anything. They scratched their heads like we did, and they think that the issue is coming from the sender, rather than the mail server having a hiccup.
This is VERY frustrating, as I get lots of email in a day's time that can be time-sensitive.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Problem with mail, wont send messages

I have an aol mail account, and set it up with apple mail. I can recieve messages just fine, however when i send a message, i get the error "sender address was rejected by the server"

In case you're missing something, instructions for setting up an AOL account in Mail can be found here:
http://members.aol.com/adamkb/aol/mailfaq/imap/applemail.html
The instructions are for Mail 1.3, but they can be used for Mail 2.x as well, noting that the Special Mailboxes preference pane is called Mailbox Behaviors in Mail 2.x.
You may also want to read the more general guide the above article is part of:
Accessing the AOL Mail System using IMAP - An Unofficial Guide
Also, Mail Help has some articles devoted to sending problems, e.g. I can't send email or I can't send email because the connection to the server on port 25 timed out. You may want to take a look at them in case there is something there that applies to you. Something that usually works is changing the outgoing server port to 587 instead of 25.

Apple mail can send through gmail, but thunderbird cannot

I have apple mail setup and working both with a POP3 account and gmail. I installed Thunderbird. It works fine with POP3 both send and receive. Gmail not so good. I can receive emails but not send. I setup outgoing smtp as: smtp.gmail.com; tried ports 25, 465, and 587; authentication method is normal password; connection security is SSL/TLS.
This can't be a network issue if apple mail works right? I did notice apple mail is set to default (25, 465, 587) and I am guessing it will try all three.
I followed the troubleshooting page, I cannot telnet to port 25 but I get responses from 465 (connection refused by smtp.gmail.com) and 587 (appears to log in or something).
So, what is wrong?
my system:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.9; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/24.3.0
Application Build ID 20140131124303

Do you get any detailed error message information?
Google's online help page ([https://support.google.com/mail/troubleshooter/1668960]) lists these settings for the outgoing mail server:
Server: smtp.gmail.com
Use Authentication: Yes
Port for TLS/STARTTLS: 587 ''(I think this is preferred)''
Port for SSL: 465
For your account name (user name) you need to include the @gmail.com part (this various from service to service).
