Can I set up a smtp server in my computer?

My smtp is never working, I am wondering if I can set it up so my computer can send the email without having to log onto some distant places and hope my email will actually send...
thanks

As Ernie provided, try changing the SMTP server port used by the SMTP server from 25 to 587.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for the account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below.
Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
If this doesn't work and your neighbor will not provide his/her ISP's SMTP server to enter and use to send messages with your account (which is invisible to all recipients), your options are using webmail access for the account to send messages or using Postfix Enabler.

IPhoto 11 (9.2.1) can't use iCloud Mail smtp server for email.

iPhoto 11 (9.2.1) can't use iCloud Mail smtp server for email. "The email server didn't recognise username/password combination". Both appear correct in preferences/accounts. Mail sends and receives messages perfectly.
(This problem also occurs when trying to send from Thunderbird, however both iPhoto and Thunderbird can send perfectly well using the Gmail server).

Hi there
I should explain that I have 5 days experience of the iMac but have had a working iCloud account with my iPad for several months. I don't think this is an iCloud issue as such. My thought is that this is something to do with the Mail application itself and its relationship to my Apple ID etc. (Perhaps when the iMac first configured itself?)
I have deleted and manually reset both Mail and iPhone account settings for iCloud using the Apple recommended settings and I have tentatively checked that the username/password combination is as expected in Keychain but I'm too much of an Apple novice to go any further with that.
On a PC I think I would try reinstalling the Mail programme but I don't see that as an option.

HT1822 "A server with the specified hostname could not be found." I can't set up mountain lion server coz hostname

I can't set up mountain lion server coz hostname can't find

Found the solution,
review the /private/etc/hosts (with nano, vi, or other text editor you want to use) and be sure, that your localhost addresses are available, and no line is corrupted.
In my case, i had a line at the beginning that was corrupted, so i had to delete it, and then the server app, found the server (itself, that's why the loopback address)
Hope it helps!

Hi there I am having trouble with my outlook express this is the first time it has happened it keeps telling me can't connect to the SMTP server and every password I have tried is incorrect this is for 'iCloud' very frustrating as all our phones are ok

Well I am feeling a bit silly now because that was all I had to do. In the past Workgroup Manager had always opened right up to the list of my users, I never even thought to click on that but apparently that was all that was needed.
I still am not sure how the iChat Server preferences changed themselves on me, but it is not the first time I have had weird "settings" issues with our Snow Leopard Server.
Thanks!

Can you set up 2 iTunes accounts on one computer?

Can you set up 2 iTunes accounts on one computer?

I had two accounts on one computer until recently. You need to use two user accounts on the computer. Note, I say I did it until recently, therefore I'm not able to confirm this still works, but assume it does.

How do I set up the SMTP server on Lion

Hello
I want to use my OS X Lion server to send mail only (I use Rumpus FTP - which needs a SMTP server so that it can send notification emails)
Is this possible to do with OS X Lion Server? If so - how?
Server is set up and running nicely, with DNS etc all running.
Thanks,
Andrew

Hello Camelot
Thank you for your reply.
Is there a way of testing for sure that SMTP is set up and running, using say telnet??
I've turned on mail and entered my server domain name, port 25 into the email settings of my Rumpus client (so that it can send notification emails - it also happens to be running on the same server, so I tried localhost and 127.0.0.1 as well but no sucess.
I have not entered authentication credentials, but turned off authentication using Server Admin.
Thanks again
Andrew

Can I use an outgoing SMTP server (other than .me)

Can I set up my Mail account to use an out going SMTP server other than .me? I want to use my .me (iCloud) account for incoming mail but want another server for my out going mail. (The reason is a need to keep an existing From: address rather than be required to use "[email protected]".)

I think some networks restrict what smtp people use, I know that is true for my school. I think the answer this person is looking for is how is a quick way to choose the smtp. I think if the orinial poster selects new message, there is a littel black down arrow to the left of the subject line. If you press this down arrow and select customize, you could put a check box in the outgoing smtp field. Then you can select your out going mail server. But as for chaning your incoming mail server for all incoming email... well no... you can not determine what incoming email server you use for each account.
@rpeskin The Apple Mail program, does a good job or seperating email accounts. Look for a "show" button on the top menu (somewhere under the red close dot.)

or you can change your default email in the mail preferences.

Can't connect to gmail smtp server but receiving fine

I have been using gmail with my mac osx mail fine for several years with no hiccups. Recently, I had problems with gmail and my ipad but with an app, it's now working fine.
Today, when sending an email from my imac, I had the old error prompt show up asking for my password. Had a bad feeling about this. I entered it. Then again. Wouldn't take it.
Now it's telling me that my smtp server is offline. It works fine with webmail, so the gmail isn't the problem. I'm able to receive mail just fine and also send mail with other accounts.
I have tried rebullding my mail by letting it build a new index file and that didn't help. I read some advice about deleting the container folder. I don't have that folder on my imac. Can't locate it.
Can anyone please help? I hate using webmail and want to go back to using mac osx mail.
imac / 2.66 / 8gb RAM / 10.8.3
Thanks,
Bob

No bad form to worry about, just the reduced attention to your problem that a solved designation causes.
If I remove my gmail account, I'll be able to get all the emails back when I create my new one - because it's imap?
Yes, but check 2 things,
1. That it is setup as Imap (POP is possible but is not the default) and 2 that you have not created any local folders that house mail from the Imap account, if you did then you must export them before removing the account.
What do you mean by verify both passwords? You mean imap and smtp?
I assume I should be using the application specific password in my mail settings?
Thanks,
Bob
Imap and SMTP should be the same, but check.

HT4864 can I use the icloud smtp server as the outgoing server for all my other imap accounts?

I have several imap accounts. I want to send all my messages using the icloud server. I put the icloud server as the smtp server for each account but mail is not able to send the messages. The configuration is correct for the smtp iclous server, I checked.
Is there anything I'm missing?
Fausto

The only thing you're missing is that you can't do that. You have to use the correct smtp server for the mail accounts. Email providers generally don't like sending some other company's mail. If you want to send from the icloud servers, use your icloud account when composing.

Can't send email through SMTP server

As some others have reported, I recently started having problems sending emails (most of the time) through my regular smtp server (receiving is not an issue). Once in a while it does go out, but most of the time I get a message "Can't send message using the server smtp.XXXX.com". I know it's not the smtp server as I can go out with my browser and use webmail and it sends fine, using the same server.
It only affects this one main email account - my other accounts seem fine (including gmail, mac, and another pop accounts), at least so far.
It is extremely frustrating - saw a whole lot of ideas for fixing it (changing ports, etc.), but don't want to mess up all the accounts that are working. I'm a long time Mac user, but not a real techie.

I know it's not the smtp server as I can go out with my browser
and use webmail and it sends fine, using the same server.
This is wrong. Whether you can send via webmail has nothing to do with whether you can send using a standard mail client such as Mail. The outgoing server that ends up delivering the message may be the same in both cases, but the outgoing server you communicate with is not. Actually, when sending via webmail you don’t even use SMTP to communicate with the outgoing server.
There are circumstances under which you may not be able to send using a standard mail client such as Mail no matter what you do (e.g. because the ports needed for SMTP are blocked by the ISP at the location you’re trying to send from), whereas webmail works fine — and may be your only option in those cases.
If it works sometimes, that means your account settings are probably correct, but you cannot discard that there is a problem with the outgoing (SMTP) server that Mail has to communicate with, even if sending via webmail works fine.
<hr>
That said, 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.
Try using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible, or connecting the computer to Internet as directly as possible (i.e. bypassing any routers that might be present, using an ethernet cable instead of wireless, etc.), or shutting down both the computer and the router/modem used to connect to Internet, restarting, and see whether that makes a difference.
Mail keeps information about outgoing (SMTP) servers in a separate list independently of the mail accounts themselves. The account settings just associate one of the available outgoing servers with each account. Orphaned or dangling outgoing server entries (i.e. not associated with any account) sometimes cause weird sending problems.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP), choose Edit Server List from the popup menu, and delete any servers that shouldn’t be there — the Edit Server List panel shows the account each outgoing server is associated with.
If the problem persists and you have more than one mail account, try moving the account that has the problem to the top of the list in Preferences > Accounts.
