Automator "Send Outgoing Messages" Workflow Failed - 1 error

Hello,
In my hunt to be able to send a personalised templated e-mail to multiple recipents using Mac Mail, I came accross the automator feature. I've tinkered around with it but can't seem to generate the final action of sending.
1) New Mail Message (all fields have data as I read in another thread that this might generate errors.)
2) Get Specified Address Book Items
3) Group Mailer
4) Send Outgoing Messages (this is where I get a Workflow failed - 1 error)
Steps 1-3 have green tick marks, Step 4 has the error.
Can anyone point out where I might be going wrong?
I'm using 10.7.2

Anyone?????

Send outgoing messages action buggy?

Could someone confirm the following behavior of the "send outgoing messages action"?
create a workflow consisting of this single action and then create an outgoing message in Mail. run the workflow. Does this send the message you just created? The action description says that if the action has no input, all outgoing messages will be sent out. however, when i run it, nothing happens.

didn't know about the other two but here is one more:
make new outgoing message
The description says that if text passed to it as input it's included in the message. In fact this does not happen. I've tried every which way i could. I've recently submitted a bug report about it too and it's still open.
all of this reminds me why i gave up on automator and switched to apple script...
Die Sache mit der Deutschen Lokalisation tut mir Leid. Das habe Ich auch nich gewusst. Warum bin Ich nicht überrascht...

Yahoo mail can't send - Outgoing server "(null)" failed

I can not send ONLY from MY Yahoo email address. When I try to send a message is says "Outgoing Server '(null)' failed."
I have tried changing my password to one without numbers or characters, deleting the account and re-adding, restoring the iPhone. Nothing.
Here is the wierd thing: any other Yahoo account works just fine. My wifes yahoo address works perfectly, I created a new one and it works perfectly as well. It is just my address. Has anyone else had this problem?

I have the same problem. The issue is IMAP vs. POP. Setting up the bizmail account with the pre-loaded "YahooMail" link in the Mail setup options sets up your bizmail account with IMAP settings. While this allows you to see all your storage folders from the server, for whatever reason, you can't receive mail as the incoming server "null" fails. I can send mail just fine, but I can't receive. Now the work-around was to set it up as an "other account," not using the YahooMail link. Then you have to select "POP", then use "pop.bizmail.yahoo.com" (ignore the quotes) for the incoming mail server with SSL turned OFF. For outgoing, you use "smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com:465", turn ON SSL. The 465 designates the correct port, so you should have that in there. This will allow you to both send and receive, but will NOT allow you to view your storage folders. The account would have to be set up as IMAP in order to see those folders, but I have been unsuccessful in getting that information from yahoo business support. They are as useless as the "geniuses" at the Apple Store. Hope this helps!

Why is my mail app not sending outgoing messages?

When using mail application, my outgoing messages remain in my outbox. If I log into my email through a browser, my outgoing messages will send.
I assumed my new MacBook was setup correctly from the Apple Store.
Thanks for any assistance.

Check your outgoing (SMTP) mail in mail preferences, make sure that it is set to your mail server and not none or something else. After upgrades, these things can get messed up.

Can't send outgoing messages using hotmail on iPhone 4

Help! I've just switched from iPhone 3 (where I used my hotmail with no probs) to iPhone 4 and have been setting it up as I had it before. I've added my hotmail account and incoming emails are received but it won't let me send outgoing mail. It keeps asking for a password but when I enter it (and re-enter it over and over again) it keeps asking for the password! Has anyone else had this problem?

So you went thru the apple support link that I gave you and still can't text.
Then you restored and reset the phone and still can't text.
Call the carrier - ?
Look I've been giving you some troubleshooting tips, that I would give anybody else who is having issue with sending text message.
Your last resort after doing all the fixes would be to call the carrier.
Call your fiancee carrier and see what they say.

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.

Iphone will receive mail but not send outgoing messages?

Hey people,
So my iphone 3gs will recieve my incoming mail and my passwords are all entered in the system. However, when I try to send out and Outgoing message on my screen appears the message "Cannot Send Mail- No password provided for email, Please go to Mail Account settings and enter a password". In my settings it says that my passwords entered are correct and I can recieve my incoming mail but I cannot send my Outgoing mail. Help!

HI Friend,
I solved my problem filling the fields like SMTP, user name, and password on my outgoing mail server setting as well as your incoming mail server setting. (Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>your account>Outgoing Mail Server: SMTP>tap your Primary Server, check all your info for Outgoing Mail Server).
Hope it will be helpful,

I suddenly can't send outgoing messages

Through Mail, I can receive incoming but can't send outgoing unless l go directly through my email's online mail server. I shift around between routers in my home country all the time, but when I went overseas for 3 weeks at Christmas, all of a sudden I couldn't send outgoing mail. Now I'm back on my home router and it still won't work even tho it had no problems before the trip.
I read Mail Help and tried all the things it said.
I checked all the settings, they were correct.
I copied all the settings to a new account, checked they were correct, deleted the old one, and it still won't work.
Deleted all the unused smtp servers.
Pinged it and got this message:
"10 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss" -- I'm assuming that means something's wrong, but Mail didn't say what to do after that.
When I plugged directly into my router and tried to send, I still got the same message:
"This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
Verify that you have addressed this message correctly. Check your SMTP server settings in Mail Preferences and verify any advanced settings with your system administrator."
I love my apple, but I'm getting mildly frustrated. Can anyone help??!!

Mac desktop. trying to send email, message: SMTP failed? No new changes to computer.

Mac desktop, trying to send email, message say-SMTP failed. No new changes have been made to this Mac.

iOS does not run on Macs.
Not knowing your operating system or Mail program we can't give you much detailed help. Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to find your Mac OS or Mac OS X version. If it is an X version, please post in the right forum:

SMTP servers are of two types. Those associated with the internet provider giving you the internet access. I.e. if you have Verizon FiOS for Fiberoptic internet your SMTP server would be something based on verizon.net. And those associated with separate web/e-mail host providers if you have a personal website or e-mail provider you chose from before you switched to the current internet access provider. If the latter, it is possible the internet access provider, in order to prevent being implicated from being the source of spam has decided to enforce port or password authentication on the SMTP server to ensure you aren't a spam bot. In that event, you'll probably have to check with them if it is better to use port 2626, 2662, or 587, and password authentication. You may have to check with both e-mail provider and internet access provider. Usually when you have separate providers doing both, your e-mail address is your username, and password on password authentication is same as checking your e-mail.

Cant send outgoing messages from Outlook

Yesterday I had a problem with my outlook e0mail account. I deleted the account, changed the password and now although I can receive mail I cannot send mail in the account. I keep getting the error message :
Task '********@btinternet.com - Sending' reported error (0x800CCC78) : 'Cannot send the message. Verify the e-mail address in your account properties. The server responded: 530 authentication required - Your email could not be sent. To fix this you must make a simple change to your email client (known as SMTP authentication). For advice visit http://www.bt.com/smtp'
On typing in the web page it no longer exists.
Can anyone else help here.
regards
Pete
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You need to make sure the 'My server requires authentication' box is ticked. See screenshot

Switched isp - can't send outgoing messages anymore

Just switched from Verizon DSL to Cox as ISP. Continue to receive email messages, but get error message "The outgoing mail server "stmp.mac.com" failed to deliver this message. The connection to the server "stmp.mac.com" on port 25 timed out." I tried switching this to Cox's "stmp.east.cox.net" but get a message that the server cannot be contacted. I'm clueless about this stuff so appreciate any insights you can offer.

Is Verizon's SMTP server still available to choose from in Mail?
If there are any SMTP servers available in Mail not being actively used by any accounts, this can sometimes cause problems.
Something to try.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below for the .Mac SMTP server.
Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
Test if this resolves the problem.
Are you able to send messages with your Cox email account and SMTP server?
If so, selecting the Cox SMTP server for your .Mac account should work.

Sending a messaging picture fails on Iphone 4s

Iphone 4s, 32 GB. Take a picture then immediately try to send it. What happens is the messaging app exits and it fails to send. It seems to be intermittent as if I try to immediately do the same thing it might do the same thing but more times than not it will work. Any ideas?

Never mind. Saw this topic after I entered mine

Only difference is that I can reproduce the problem everytime even without HDR being turned on.
