Both Incoming and Outgoing Mail Stuck in Queue

Hi, I have an issue with a new install of OS X 10.5.8 Mail Server. It queues everything and won't let anything in or out. I feel like I must have missed something setting it up, but I followed the PDF pretty much step by step.
Does anyone have any tips or tricks to getting a new mail server running correctly?

Does anyone have any tips or tricks to getting a new mail server running correctly?
Yes. Read the logs.
There are approximately 2 gazllion and seven reasons why mail might not pass through the server and get queued. The logs should shed some light on the problem and narrow down the focus.

How to save all incoming and outgoing mail

I run a Leopard server with 10 email clients that I want to be able to save the incoming and outgoing messages from. I could have sworn that under Tiger, I had the catchall working to include both incoming and outgoing mail to [email protected]
However, under Leopard the catchall seems to grab only the incoming emails? Is there a way to do this? or - is there a better way I SHOULD be doing this. Basically I need both a record of emails for liability issues and the ability to access them easily (this was made convenient by using webamil to login and read as needed).
Thanks!

In /etc/postfix/main.cf

TS3276 incoming and outgoing mail fine for 3 months, outgoing suddenly stopped on this macbookpro, same settings as on my macbook which is still working on incoming and outgoing!

Any help appreciated, settings on both computers are the same and the mail on this has worked for both incoming and outgoing until last night. I have not changed any settings.

Hi thanks for the prompt response, I tried port 25 and still get similar messages?

HT1430 Pop-up shows name or password is incorrect.   Have changed password on both incoming and outgoing ports, no luck.

Can anyone help?      Cannot receive or send mail, pop-up shows name or password incorrect.   Changed password on both incoming and outgoing, no luck.
Have been at it all day long.     Any suggestions?

Guess what? That's right! I switched on my laptop this morning and the moment I opened Thunderbird I received three emails - one of them informing me that I'd changed my password.
So the problem was clearly at the server end, not mine.
For anybody who is searching the Help Forums looking for help: be aware that you will find many messages like this one and lots of suggestions as to what YOU may have done wrong. The reality is that if you have this specific error message, it is probably a glitch in the system that randomly happens and is fixed, apparently without BT/Yahoo! knowing anything about it.
It IS known about, has been known about for years, and will not be addressed as a problem in the near future.
My recommendation "get a new email address!". If you MUST stay with the btinternet/btopenworld address then get used to the idea that every so often you will not be able to get into your email. Don't panic and don't go changing your settings as this will only confuse the matter when it comes back online - without any warning or advisory.
I say this, not as a rant (although it fills that role as well) but as a genuine suggestion to avoid random problems that you will not be able to fix.
This is the 21st centrury and we still have electronic messaging systems that breakdown randomly and without anybody aparently knowing why, or how to fix it. So much for tomorrow's world, eh?
Bye bye BT/Yahoo! - I'd like to have said "it's been nice", but...

No sound for incoming and outgoing mail

I have a Macbook Pro Retina with the latest OS. I can't get sounds to work for incoming and outgoing mail. Can anyone tell me how to correct this? On my old computer I used to get a ting sound for incoming mail and a whoosh sound for outgoing mail.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Kathy Nelson

I noticed I actually was not getting all of my mail sounds either, I recently wiped my HD and reimported my account and found my mail was all messed up, so I backed up all my mail, deleted all of the accounts and then set them back up and all sounds are back.
Try creating a second account on your device and see if the sounds work in mail there?

Hotmail and Yahoo Incoming and Outgoing Mail Servers

Does anyone know what the incoming and outgoing mail servers are for hotmail and yahoo? I'm trying to put them into my mail account, and can't seem to figure out which one (pop or imap) to use.
Thank you!
-Kat

If you are not using the paid (plus) accounts for Yahoo and Hotmail, they do not support access through email client applications like Mail, etc.
For Hotmail, you may have success with the HttpMail Plugin if your account is old enough.
For Yahoo-and Hotmail if it doesn't work with the plugin-you can use MacFreePOPs.

HT201320 What is incoming and outgoing mail server and server port number

What is incoming and outgoing mail server and server port number

See applenerd504 previous reply:
These specifications that allow you to send and receive messages on your iPhone. If you are using iCloud Mail, Gmail, or another service listed in the selector in settings, they should be automatically configured. If not, you may need to look up certain numbers for your email service.
Putting it in slightly different terms:
If you are using a web-mail system like gmail (with a gmail email address) all the mail sending, receiving and management is done on Google servers. In these cases you will only need to have a working internet connection to be able to log in to the service to access its data.
Supplying mail sever names and port numbers should only be needed if you are using a traditional (non-web) email account where you are accessing the mail servers directly. This would be typical for a email account set up by someone like your ISP (Internet Service Provider), in these cases you will have to ask them for the appropriate settings.

How to change my password and my incoming and outgoing mail servers

Hi I have used Outlook Express for years and I know how to configure "everything" I need within the settings pages because their settings pages are all "logical" with everything out in the open.
However, Thunderbird "hides" their settings behind buttons and confusing screens.
There are many tutorials that explain how to set up Thunderbird from the beginning, and show how to set up a new email account. But I have not been able to find a tutorial on how to change my email account password "after" I have been using Thunderbird for awhile.
I also see no way to change the incoming and outgoing servers. For example, I have changed from one hosting company to another hosting company and I need to use the new mail servers from the new hosting company and I do not see any tutorials anyplace that cover ongoing or day-to-day activities with Thunderbird.
Can you please change your settings screens to make Thunderbird easier for new people to find these normal and necessary items?
Also can you please point me to a tutorial that shows me how to change my email account password and change my incoming and outgoing servers?
Thanks so much!
Edward

If you wan to create an account, you must the delete the existing account.
So take backup of your emails if your using POP3
Two ways you can do it
*Copy all the emails to Local folder
*Back up your Mail folder from your profile

Copy all incoming and outgoing mail to an additional mailbox

Is there a means to copy all incoming and outgoing email through the Apple Mail server to one inbox? As an example, Bob sends and email to Jeff and receives a reply. I want a copy of each of those emails to, say, [email protected] Is there a means within the server config or some other method to accomplish this?

Help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Microphone not working on my iphone 4s unless i'm on speaker or using headphones during calls both incoming and outgoing?

During calls incoming and outgoing I can hear the other person but they cannot hear me unless I am on speaker phone or am using headphones?

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, resest, restore from backup, restore as new.
If you still have problems after going through ALL the recommended troubleshooting steps, then you likely have a hardware issue. You'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

Problems with incoming and outgoing mail

I've read a number of posts on this topic, yet none completely matches the problems I'm having.
Incoming Mail:
My incoming e-mail is a pop account hosted by Earthlink. I am able to enter my data and get mail using a non wi-fi network.
Outgoing Mail:
When I use the generic AT&T outgoing server, it works, but then I am unable to get mail, and vice-versa. (I tried sending mail through the general web hosting server that Earthlink recommended (and works on my laptop when traveling away from home network, but it just spins.)
Conflict:
I am either able to send mail or receive mail, not both at once, thank-you-very-much.
The settings and ports are unchanged. And, I can't figure out why one would affect the other considering they are two completely different settings.
We're currently trying to set up a smtp.com or Google mail account, which is okay, but I would much rather solve this without any more links in the chain.
Any suggestions? Will re-setting my iPhone completely help?

Yes, thanks, was my first stop and very handy.
Unfortunately, because my pop account is hosted/relayed at Earthlink, it did not identify the account as it would a stand-alone service. I tried using the basic Earthlink account info, but of course, my basic account does not have anything to do with my current business pop account. So after using the set-up assistant, I was back at square one.
I was able to set up smtp.com successfully and am up and running.
I just can't figure out why one setting would mess up another.
