Can receive but can't send mail via BT Yahoo SMTP server port 995

Suddenly I can't send mail from my BT/Yahoo account but can still receive mail. The message that i get is that it was rejected by the server. I have not changed the server - it is still SMTP via port 995, using SSL. Help!! Why should this have ocurred out of the blue and what do I do?

Hi Dancing Brave,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend starting with the steps in this article if you are not able to send mail:

    Hi
    You need to check with your ISP whether or not the send mail server (SMTP) requires a password.  Some do, but many do not.  When you know the correct password to send mail, then you need to tell Mail as follows:
    Mail menu > Preferences > Accounts > Select the account
    Click on the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) combo box, and select Edit SMTP Server List...
    In the Account Information tab put the server name
    In the Advanced Tab, set up the authentication information from your ISP.
    Good luck

  • Can't send mail via iCloud with my iMac after creating a new account

    Hi,
    yesterday I created my account on Icloud.
    I've Lion on my Imac, so I registered the account directly from settings on my Imac.
    Now I can receive mail, but I can't send them, because the imap smtp server won't recognize my password.
    If I access on icloud.com, I can do everything correctly.
    Thank you for your support.
    <Email Edited by Host>

    It's a bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've aasked the Hosts to remove it.
    The first thing to try would be to sign out in System Preferences>iCloud, then sign back in again and check 'Mail' and any other data types you need in the list. This will set Mail up, hopefully correctly.
    If you are still having problems accessing or sending mail go to http://appleid.apple.com and change your password, making sure that it complies with Apple's requirements: at least eight characters, of which at least one must be a numeral and one a capital letter.
    Note that iCloud does not interact with any other email service. You cannot use it to check other email accounts, and you cannot send using its smtp server with any address other than your @me.com one as the 'From' address.
    You should be able to set up other accounts separately in the Mail application: these would be unaffected by iCloud in any way.

  • Can't send mail via mail

    Greetings O Wise Ones,
    The smtp setting are correct. I can receive mail. The mail app was working fine one minute and the next I couldn't send mail. Tried a new smtp and it didn't work either, Created a new login user and new mail. The smtp work with the new user but not with the old one. Any ideas that don't delete the com.apple.mail.plist? If that's the only way. How do I save my mail boxes?

    This is happening to my wife's Leopard 10.5.8 upgraded machine right now.
    We've been using Apple Mail for years and it works, but suddenly stopped working
    and refuses to send mail via any SMTP server at all. It just spins forever and eventually
    complains it can't.
    The account is configured to send via comcast (smtp.comcast.net), DSL (smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com), and gmail, as choices. Two of them require authentication, Comcast doesn't require authentication, only that the e-mail be sent via the Comcast cable router, which it is.
    I've tried removing the SMTP accounts and carefully re-adding, removing the Gmail IMAP mail account itself in Apple Mail and re-adding, and even moving aside the /Users/<user/Library/Mail folder so it can be re-added. I've even used the sqlite3 index vacuum command.
    On my own Mac Pro, 10.5.8, I'm able to send e-mail, but on the notebook mail is wedged up for good and it seems to be associated with the upgrade. I am now re-installing 10.5.8 from the 'combined' download, and I'll see if it fixes it. What a hassle.

  • Can't Send Mail Via HughesNet SMTP Server

    After installing 10.5 I find that I can receive mail from my ISP (HughesNet) but I can't send mail through the smtp server. I've tried every setting possible and even duplicated the settings off my wife's 10.4.10 iMac and I still can't send mail. All I see is that the smtp service is "Offline."
    Fortunately, I have a .Mac account so I can send mail using that smtp server. But I'd like to be abel to use my HughesNet server.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    My mom uses RoadRunner by Time Warner. She was able to receive email using Leopard and Mail but not send. SMTP server was the big problem like everyone else here experienced. We finally were able to get it to work using many ideas here. What we did:
    1) Delete com.apple.mail.plist from the User/Library/Preferences folder (BACK UP YOUR EMAIL FIRST)
    2) Open Mail and create a new account but disable the automatic set-up feature, put your info in manually.
    3) Uncheck " Use only this server" from the outgoing mail
    4) Under the Advanced tab on Mail Prefs "port set to 25", Uncheck "SSL" box, and uncheck "Use Authentication"
    5) Now hit Create
    It took Mail about 20 minutes to contact the SMTP server, but it did and now I can send and receive Mail without any problems on her computer.
    Bad Apple...stop criticizing MS and Vista when your own house is not in order yet. Hope this helps someone out there.....

  • Can't send mail via airport express

    I'm trying to set up an airport network for my Mom. She has a MacBook running 10.6.1 and Roadrunner is her ISP. I have the cable modem attached via ethernet cable to the airport express (BTY, I tried my airport extreme and have the same problem). I can use the internet and can retrieve mail but I CANNOT SEND MAIL. Everything else including the printer woks fine on the network. RoadRunner support verified that my network and e-mail account settings are correct. They claim it is an issue with the Mac. Any ideas?

    Welcome to the discussions!
    You didn't mention this in your post,but I assume that you have power cycled the network, correct?
    If not, power everything down for a few minutes. Start the modem first and let it run 2-3 minutes alone. Then start the Airport Express and let it run 2-3 minutes and finally your printer and computers. Any help?
    If not, and you have a good internet connection, it is a question of settings or the mail application itself. What mail application are you using?

  • How can i send mail to the yahoo mail or gmail or something else

    hello guys,
    i want to know how to send mails to the yahoo or gmail or something else.i heard that we have to change some smtp address and some port number. can any body suggest me to get that.please help me
    any replies will be appreciated greatly.

    Hi chnaresh,
    This is the code I use to send mail, it's not specific to gmail, but it works. The "props" object expects the usual mail properties, "mail.smtp.host", "mail.user" or "mail.smtp.user", as well as "mail.smtp.ssl" which you'd want to set to "true" if you're using gmail. It also expects "mail.smtp.passwd" or "mail.passwd" which my gut tells me is unsafe, but I'm not sure why.
    Good luck,

  • I can't send mail via hotmail. I can read new mail, but can not reply or send new messages.

    I am using a mac powerbook, 2004 running MAc os x. Yes, I know it is old. But I only use if for e-mail. this week, I can't send or reply to messages via firefox or any other browser. I can't succesfully download updates. Can you advise?
    thanks

    Go to Mail Preferences- Accounts and confirm you are providing Gmail what they require to send and receive mail. And DON'T specify Secure Socket Layer. Some mail accts don't like SSL
    Good Luck to you.

  • I can't send mail via Mail

    After working perfectly for the last year, as of monday of last week everytime I try to send mail from the Mail program on my Mac
    I get the following message:
    The sender address ------.com was rejected by the server
    If I go to my internet service providers web site and use their Web Mail
    it works perfectly.
    any suggestions?

    BarbCasey, Welcome to the discussion area!
    It sounds like your account in Mail is misconfigured.
    That error is telling you that you are trying to send using an email address not recognized by the sending mail server.
    For example, you would get this error if your sending email address is [email protected] and you try to send using smtp.mac.com. The smtp.mac.com server will only allow you to send using @mac.com addresses.
    Simarily, you would get this error if your sending email address is [email protected] and you are trying to send using smtp.verizon.net. The smtp.verizon.net server will only allow you to send using @verizon.net addresses.

  • I can't send a message through my SMTP-server when i configured it IMAP

    Hi,
    When I configure my email account as POP3 I don't get the send and drafts maps. So I configured it as IMAP but now when i try to send an email I get the notice that the message can't be send through my SMTP server configuration.
    Hope somebody can help me out,
    Thanks,
    Steven

    Reconfigure your SMTP manually
    *https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/manual-account-configuration
    Make sure about URL and Port No, when configuring the SMTP
    Which email server are you using?
    *Google/Yahoo/Outlook?

  • Sending Mail to a Comcast SMTP server

    Have a MAC PRO and MacBook Pro on the same network both running OS 10.8.2 with two identical email accounts having identical settings.  MAC PRO email accounts work as expected; able to send and receive emails.    However on the MacBook PRO, unable to send emails from either account, only receive emails. I have the same email problem when using the MacBook PRO on different networks, like a Hotel.
    Consistently get an error message stating “the sender address [email protected] was rejected by the server smtp.comcast.net.”
    Tried deleting the accounts, restarting and entering new accounts; reinstalled OS 10.8.2; but no difference in the problem.
    Worked with several layers of Comcast support, trying all sorts of Port and SSL settings, and confirmed my password works on Comcast webmail, but cannot determine why I cannot send email from one Apple computer when the other Apple computer works as expected. All they could do is blame Apple.
    What is different about the MAC PRO (early 1998) and the MAC PRO (15-inch Late 2011}?

    What was the SMTP error?
    Comcast has messed up their outgoing server somehow.  I got a message about "The sender address [email protected]" was rejected by the server smtp.comcast.net." This of course is absurd, since YOUR E-mail address has nothing to do with sending mail.
    If that's the problem, you're going to have to call Comcast and repeatedly escalate the case until you can find someone with even a basic understanding of how E-mail works.  I had to get a "supervisor" involved, and this person was still so ignorant that she had to call me back the next day after "researching" the problem and still proposing asinine attempts to resolve it.  And it never did get fixed, by the time I left the location at which I needed to use Comcast.
    You need to insist that your reply-to address is irrelevant for sending E-mail.  If you're connected directly to Comcast's network (which you are when you're connected through your cable modem), you should be able to send through their SMTP server.  Period.  That's how Time-Warner and Verizon work, for example.  The first thing you're going to hear is "Well, you're not using your Comcast E-mail account."  IRRELEVANT.  And why would anyone use the obscure Comcast-assigned E-mail address in 2013?
    Good luck.

  • Since the end of November, I can't send mail via Hotmail from Mail.

    I have had my Hotmail account set up in Mail for a number of years and it has been working fine. Suddenly, since the end of November, I can only receive emails but not send. If I try to send it says 'connections to the "smtp.live.com" server timed out'.
    I have tried specifying different ports, erasing and re-setting up the account - nothing has worked. Please can someone help?

    Did you set up your SPF record in your DNS? If not you can find more info about that here

    Something like this is what you'll probably need
    "v=spf1 a mx"
