Applemail problems with taking outgoing gmail servers offline

I am using a MacBook Pro, with 4GB, and 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, running OS X Lion 10.7.5 and Mail App 5.3.
I can receive email on my 5 IMAP gmail accounts no problem. But for some reason 3 of the gmail accounts outgoing mail servers are "offline" so I cannot send mail out from those accounts. This happened just recently and only occurs on my MacBook. I am able to send messages out from those three accounts from my iPad and my iPhone so it seems to be a problem with the Mail app. How do I fix this?

Outgoing is SMTP settings.I would also run
EDIT SMTP SETTINGS
In Accounts window > Outgoing Mail Server SMTP: select to Edit SMTP Server list... from popup.
Select account in the list.(It's not uncommon to find extra SMTP servers listed. When you remove account, Mail does not delete the smtp info. You might need to do some clean up in the list to remove the extras.)
Under Advanced Tab:
Apple defaults to the default ports (25,465, 587) but some servers prefer a custom port. Check to see what port they recommend. Gmail for example likes 465, Outlook.com 587.
Verify if your server require SSL. (Gmail requires SSL)
User Name. Enter full email address eg. [email protected]
Add password if it is blank.(If you have two step authentication setup, you'll need to get an app specific password more info)
http://www.google.com/landing/2step/
Open Connection Doctor under Window in the Menu bar.
Do you see green light now for your account SMTP?
I would also run Keychain First Aid.
Open Keychain Access, located in Applications/Utilities
Choose Keychain Access > Keychain First Aid.
Enter your user name and password.
Select Repair and click Start.
If any problems are found run again to verify all repaired.

Problems sending mail: some problem with the outgoing mail server SMTP?

I can't send e mails: some problem with the outgoing mail server SMTP?

I had this same problem with both my imac and mac book pro using hotmail via mac mail with bt as my internet provider. Suddenly 4 months ago out of nowhere i could receive emails but could not send them. I scoured all the threads followed all the fixes none of them worked. However I just phoned apple support and fixed it in a matter of minutes. I am SO happy. This is what the technician advised me:
Go to your apple icon and scroll down to system preferences. Then dependant on what machine you have it is different for my imac and mac book pro click on either air port/wifi then the advanced tab in the bottom right hand corner. Then click on the DNS tab. Hit the + sign on the left hand side and type in 8.8.8.8 then hit the + sign again on the left hand side it will create a new line underneathe and type 8.8.4.4 then hit okay on the bottom right and then hit apply, again on the bottom right. Then send a test email to check but it should be fixed.
Had to share this. Its been driving me mad for months.

All Mail outgoing pop servers (offline)

Help please.
All of my pop mail accounts are unable to send mail but they all receive. The accounts are with a number of different ISPs. In Preferences/Account Info all the outgoing smtp servers appear with (Offline) next to them, including my dotMac account. I've tried resetting passwords on the servers to no avail - I always get a message saying server rejected password.
I can't send anything and I'm 6000 miles from my desktop!
I'm running 10.6.2. Any ideas?
Thanks

I have the same problem on one computer (but not others using the same network)...outgoing mail...using different servers all indicate "offline". I've not been able to find way to bring the outgoing accounts "online". Because the accounts work through other computers in the house as well as for outgoing mail, I assume they are not locked. Recently software updates have not solved the problem.

Problems with email(Yahoo/Gmail) and GPS on E72

Hi, I just got a Nokia E72 and I can't access my mail. I can send emails through the emails I have set up, but I can't do anything else (including seeing my emails) All settings are matched to what they should be. In addition my GPS does not work. I've downloaded the newest Ovi Maps and everything. Google Maps works like a charm though, so I'm not sure what is up with the phone. Everything is being done through wifi, don't have my data plan set up yet. One thing I notice is that my phone always asks like "use/access wlan in offline mode." Does this mean anything? Thanks in advance.

Just wondering, could you be more specific with regards to "can't access my mail"? Do you mean your Gmail/Yahoomail don't get sent to the cellphone?
With regards to the E72's internal GPS, I would try this first:
make sure that the "Integrated GPS" positioning method is enabled in the Positioning Method settings.
then, go to an open-air location with little obstructions like tall buildings or trees.
then, make sure to position the cellphone in view of the clear sky (make sure your hand doesn't cover the back portion of the cellphone where the GPS antenna is located)
remain stationary there for about 30 minutes.
If the GPS doesn't get a lock after the above procedure, then there might indeed be a problem with the GPS of your cellphone. I noted during the first try of the GPS of my E72, it took a really long time to get first GPS lock. Subsequent GPS locks should generally be faster.
What's the use of remaining stationary there for about 30 minutes? You get a better lock while moving.

Problem with Mail accessing Gmail account

I don't know if this is a problem with Gmail or with my Mac, but any hints appreciated. I did some tidying of my Mac permissions this morning, and since then my Mail programme refuses to accept my Gmail application-specific passwords. (Both incoming and outgoing.) I have revoked the old ones and started again but it makes no difference. One thing that seems odd is that on the Gmail page for setting up the passwords, it lists my passwords at the bottom of the page with 'created date' but under 'last used date' it says 'unavailable'. I don't know if this is significant.
Any ideas how I solve this? I am using Mac OS 10.7.2, and Mail 5.

An update on this: I just tried to enter my POP password by going into Mail's Preferences (rather than just typing it in when prompted by a pop-up window), and got the following:
Error Saving Preferences:
Writing your preferences to disk has failed. Your preferences may not have been saved. The permissions on ~/Library/Preferences may be wrong or your disk may be full.
Help!! What have I done?!

Problems with connection to mail servers

Ever since updating to ios 6.1.2 I can't connect to any mail servers via the mail app. I'm using Yahoo and gmail, both worked before and still work when logged in via safari. I already deleted cookies, cache and history on the ipad, I deleted the mail accounts several times and set them up again, I rebooted several times (before an after deleting the mail accounts) and I tried setting up the mail as "other" mail server and set custom mail settings. Nothing worked and the last received mail was on the 28th of february before installing the new ios update.

I would say that there is either a problem with your iPads WiFi connection, or the WiFi network does not like the Mail.app of iOS 6.1.2 Try and change the Server Port maybe your WiFi doesn't like the one you have right now. Also the firewall of your router can be a problem, but since only the iPad with iOS 6.1.2 doesn't work and it worked before the update I would clearly search on the iPad for the problem.

How do I fix my iPod touch's problem with hotmail outgoing mail server?

I have just received a new replacement iPod touch 8Gb.
On my old model I used the house wifi network to connect to HOTMAIL in the mail app it would set the account up immediately and work perfectly.
This time, when I tried to set the account up I had a long delay while it verified account details. Then after opting to set up account without using SSL an account was generated with an error message to say I may not be able to send or receive mail.
Incoming mail is OK, outgoing is not working.
The error message told me that I needed to configure my outgoing mail server.
My default outgoing server is set to smtp.live.com and works on port 587.
I have an additional server set to 'on', which is also smtp.live.com working on port 465, which was set up when I tried to alter the port number on the default server. Still no outgoing mail.
Any suggestions?

Followed your instructions and again, account verification failed using SSL.
I chose to create without SSL and got the following message:
'The SMTP server 'smtp.live.com' is not responding'. I accepted the details,
the email Inbox populated, and everything looks normal.
Same error is occuring:
'Connection to outgoing server 'smtp.live.com' failed. Additional outgoing mail servers can be configured in settings>mail,contacts and calendars'
The settings are as follows:
Incoming mail server
Host Name: pop3.live.com
username: is correct
password: is correct
Outgoing SMTP:
Primary server
host name: smtp.live.com
username: is correct
password: is correct (has been re-entered just in case)
Use SSL: OFF
Authentication: password
server port 587
I have duplicate SMTP servers listed under 'Other SMTP servers' with exactly the same details as above so it seems as if the iPod is retaining some settings even after I delete account.
Also, I wonder if there is anything I need to get the network administrator to do, because he did ask for the Wi-Fi address of my previous iPod touch could it just be a case of allowing it as a specific device on our network?

TS3899 Problem with ipad mailfacility / gmail

I have a problem on my ipad, I use the ipad mail facility and have linked four emailaccounts to that.
Since a few days I cannot use my gmail accounts regularly. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does't. When it is light grey, I cannot enter the mails. I also have a gmail app, that works. But I prefer working with ipad mail, it is much more "arranged".
Removing the account and reinstalling didn't help either.
Does someone know what the problem is and how I can solve this?

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Problem with qoutas on 2008R2 servers

Hi guys.
I installed my Storage manager 3.0.x today and i have 3 servers with shares.
All servers have FSRM installed. The 2 servers that didnt run the engine has agent installed.
I tried a test policy today and it randomizes accounts on all three servers, Moves and that stuff works like a charm.
But! Qoutas only work on the same server that runs the engine. In FSRM i can monitor and see qoutas. But on the other 2 agent servers there isnt a qouta set. Nor connfigured.
Help?

It was a firewall problem. Once i took care of that it works!
Thanks!

Nightly gives problems with redirection to gmail

I decided to try Nightly, and had Firefox and Nightly both installed. After I did and tried to log onto my gmail account, Firefox (and Nightly) had problems with the redirection to the gmail web site.
I have now uninstalled Nightly, and the problem disappeared. I, therefore, suspect there is some sort of bug in Nightly.

Thanks. It was meant more as a bug report to the developers than a request for help, but I could not find any better place than here to do so.

I have problem with taking statspack report

I have just run the script spcreate and it ask default and temporary tablespace ..
after that i have some problem with privileges anyone plz assist me...
Enter value for temporary_tablespace: temp
Using tablespace temp as PERFSTAT temporary tablespace.
... Creating PERFSTAT user
... Installing required packages
from dba_object_size
ERROR at line 4:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

Hi,
Question: After you logged in , you got the message 'connected to idle instance'? if so, maybe your ORACLE_SID environment variable is not set, then you're running spcreate against a nonexistent instance.
If you're using Unix like
export ORACLE_SID=ORADB .... or the name of your database
One thing is which database you're trying to connect (ORACLE_SID) and the other with who are you trying to connect (sys as sysdba).

Is anyone having problems with siri and mail servers?

I'm in Colorado and am using a 4s on verizon. Both yesterday and today I've had problems downloading mail from the servers. Both accounts are used as apple ID's and are tied to my icloud account.
Siri has also been failing me yesterday and today.
Is anyone else experiencing problems?

Problems with email and gmail on 5800

Just got my nokia 5800 this week i love it except the email application which gets me a headache!
When I add my gmail account and fill in my email and password it works right away no problems there. But then the trouble starts! it will start downloading ALL my headers since I'm a gmail user from the beginning and save most of my emails that means it will start downloading 6000+ headers! I tried several things to stop it but in the end it just kept going until it got all headers. I decided to let it get all headers but that wasn't that much of a good idea because it became ded slow when i opened the emailbox sms is still all fine but as soon as i open the email box its not just slow its SLOW!!! slow as in taking 10 seconds to even scroll up and down...
I also played a bit with gmail only enabling pop or only imap or activate both but it just doesn't Mather it will just get them all. The email app doesn't work when I only enable pop in gmail....
Hope i got the problem clear if not ask away and ill try to clarify things

Trouble with all outgoing mail servers

Was there an update that would have knocked out my ability to send outgoing mail? I can still receive mail from gmail.com, live.com and a business email account that had all been working fine till about a week ago. I had not made any changes, but have since changed the outgoing port to 587, to no avail. I have also tried to Repair Disk Permissions using the Disk Utility. However, I still am not able to get the smtp servers to connect.
Any ideas?

I have cleared my outbox and resent a test email from one account to the other, which I know is receiving emails. I am using the Apple Mail application, which had been working just fine with all 3 accounts for the past 2 years.

Outgoing smtp servers offline?

I installed Yosemite on Friday; since then I cannot send emails but can receive them; when I press 'send' I get a drop down menu tab which says outgoing servers (smtp) are offline and there's nothing i can do using the 'edit servers' option
i have checked settings, re-input settings, deleted account and set it up again all to no avail. I am pretty sure it is an apple/Yosemite issue as I can still receive and send emails on iPad, two android 'phones and windows laptop all with same settings. It happened once before with mavericks install but techies at my previous broadband provider sorted it that time.
Has anyone else had the same/ similar issue?
On separate point i should have waited as really don't like Yosemite so far; should have thought a little more carefully after last year and my experience of using IOS 7 after installing it on iPad 2.

This one worked for me on all my Apple devices, absolutely works :-)
Quit mail
Open up Finder
In the Finder menu bar select Go > Go to folder
type in ~/Library and click Go (on my kb the "~" is next to the left shift key)
Open the folder Mail
Open the folder V2
Open the folder MailData
Double click to open Accounts.plist (should open in TextEdit)
Find the block of data that contains the offending mail account
Find the line within this block that says <key>UserAllowsInsecureAuthentication</key>
Change the line below this from <false/> to <true/>
