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.

Apple Mail won't send

a few weeks ago i upgraded from an eMac/panther to mini/Tiger. mail has worked fine. my router died and i had to get a new one. Mail stopped sending. I can send from Thunderbird but not Mail. Receiving mail is fine.
i checked and double checked my account settings in Apple Mail. i tried it without authentication and with authentication. no go.
what could be going on?

Its been a month now that I am using Mail 2.0.7 (should i upgrade to latest version?). I have not changed my router or done any hardware switch at all and Mail stopped sending my mail. I tried changing my account password and settings, I tried quitting Mail, restarting the computer many times, nothing makes Mail send my mail since the last 2 weeks.
I had this problem before too ( one week after starting using Mail) but for some reasons, all my messages kept in my Outbox also for a good two weeks have finally been sent.
I was with port 25 in my SMTP setting when using Microsoft Entourage as my main email client before so i kept this setting. Should I use another Port like the one suggested earlier in the thread?
Thanks for your help! I just hope Mail works better with my information than Entourage has in the previous years for me.

Apple Mail won't send or receive iCloud mail.

iCloud Mail is not working. I'm using OSX 10.4.11 and was under the impression that Mail would work, but it is not. I'm trying to use Apple Mail to send and receive mail with my mac.com email address and it has not worked since switching to iCloud. Do I need to change something in Mail Preferences? Can't find anything relevant on Apple Support.

I'm bumping this up to the top because I am having the same exact problem.
I have had my new Mac since Dec. and have never been able to use my Mac Mail account. I can only use my Verizon account, which I don't like. I had a PC before the Mac and used Outlook Express, which I did like but I would really like to find out why my MAIL account won't send email. I have fooled with this problem and at one time I did get it so that it would receive mail (but not send) but even now I can no longer receive mail in my MAIL account.
I wonder if I can delete the account and start over? I'm wondering if my daughter set it up incorrectly when she set my computer up for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Apple mail won't send Gmail in OS Lion

I just recently up graded to OS Lion. My Apple Mail program won't send emails out of my gmail account. It will receive them but won't send them. I got my google apps email to work but my normal gmail ones won't work. The settings are as follows:
Outgoing server is smtp.gmail.com
Port is 993
Using SSL
I have tried every combination I can and no luck... Anyone help me out?

993 is the wrong port, choose 'Use Default Ports" as shown below

Mail Won't Send from Account Selected

Having a real problem with Apple Mail. When using the From: account dropdown menu to select an account different from the default one, I expect that the recipient will receive the email as coming from that account. However, I just learned today that ALL email I send from Mail is using only the default account and completely ignoring whatever account I selected in the From: dropdown.
I also tried setting "Send new messages from:" to "Account Mailbox" in Mail Preferences, but, made no difference.
The exact same problem is happening on my partner's Macbook, who's running the same OS version I am: 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it? Thanks!
Tom

I am also having the same problem that just started this morning. The mail is using my smtp server e-mail account from my serverice provider (Bell Canada) for all outgoing mail as the "From" and totally disregarding whatever e-mail account I select to send from. As I have 14 different e-mail accounts for different work activities, it is just not acceptable.
At first I thought it may be a problem with my service provider, but after 2 hours on the phone testing it with them, it is obvioulsy a system problem and not a server one. was there an update that changed something with the mail program??
I am also 24" iMac with 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB of 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM running Mac OS X 10.6.8

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?

Hi Will, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Tough to tell what you've tried, is this one you've tried...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

Mail won't send from airports or hotels

My Mail always works perfectly at home, but when I travel I can't send emails from hotels or airports, most of the time, although I can always receive email. I don't understand it. Can anyone help?

Michael,
It is OK to report the name of the SMTP, but minus your username -- is it smtp.mac.com? If so, I think your problems will be solved by changing the Port number to 587, at least at most venues. Some may accept it on 25, as your ISP does, but often 587 will be required. See:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302030
In your case, the reference to ISP, would actually be the provider of internet services at these other venues. It is likely that Port 587 will also work at home. One of the advantages of a .mac account, is the Authenticated SMTP for sending in other venues, but still subject to any blocking of Port 25 that some providers at the hotels, etc, might be doing.
Keep me posted.
Ernie

Apple Mail won't send outgoing messages

I recently had my computer sent in for repairs and when i got it back I had to set-up mail again. Before I sent it out mail was working perfectly but now after setting it up the exact same way it won't sent any outgoing messages. When I send them they go straight to the outbox. I am using Tiger 10.4.10

Sorry, but you are posting in the Mail for Leopard discussion. You'll probably get better help in the Mail for Tiger discussion.

Yahoo! Mail won't send from my iPhone since installing iOS 5

Hi,
I have just upgraded to iOS 5 on my iPhone 3GS. I am not using iCloud. (The issue I am about to describe, or something similar, seems to be reported by iCloud users elsewhere in this forum, but I think the causes are different.)
I synced my mail settings with Outlook, so my Yahoo Mail settings should be the same on the iPhone as in Outlook, where it works perfectly well.
Since I did this, I can receive Yahoo mail on my iPhone, but whenever I try so send mail or reply to a message, I get "The sender address '[email protected]' was blocked by the server." There is clearly nothing wrong with the sender address, as it is correct in the error window, and I have no idea what could be causing the problem.
This is a major pain in the neck. If anyone has a fix for it, I'd be glad to hear what it is.
(I should probably learn my lesson and stop upgrading my iPhone software. Every time I do, something weird happens. )
Thanks.

Try deleting and re-creating the account on your iPhone.
If successful, deselect transfer email account settings under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by selecting apply before the first sync after doing so.

Yahoo mail won't send from iPhone 3gS

I used my yahoo email account on my older iPhone 3G without problems. Now, on the 3GS, many emails I send do not actually get sent. Sometimes there is the "sending" progress bar, but most of the time the messages don't go out and don't get into the sent messages folder. I notice this happening more frequenstly when traveling. This also happens using my corp account which is on a microsoft exchange server.

Mail won't send mail when in wireless mode but works fine when wired

Ok, this happens all the time. I have several pop email accounts, all of which work fine when I am hooked in to an ethernet cable, but Apple Mail won't send any of my outgoing mail form any of my accounts when i'm am working wirelessly.
I always get a message like:
Cannot send message using server smtp.name.net
I try to switch servers and I cycle through all of them, getting them same message, followed by things like:
The server response was: 5.1.2 Bad or missing RCPT domain k39sm5757680wah
Any advice.

Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same), uncheck (disable) the rest of network port configurations and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
You may use “network locations” to more easily switch between network settings if necessary, as described here:
