Can receive mail but can not send mail

With IMAP AT&T Account I can receive emails with no problem but can not send out emails. AT&T says it is a Mac Mail issue because I can send and receive with no problem on the internet.
Can someone please help me with the settings that should be put into the Outgoing mail server SMTP settings. It always shows the server as 'Offline'.
Thanks

They (AT&T) needs to provide you with the proper Outgoing Mail Server setting.

Mail receives OK but will not send for smtp account. Exchange server receives/sends OK

mail receives OK but will not send for smtp account. Exchange server receives/sends OK I'm away from home, using a family-member's wireless network that has always worked OK in the past. Today, the same problem occured while waiting in a hospital waiting lounge. Any ideas?

The outgoing mail server may be rejecting mail from your network address. Typically that happens when your mail service provider is also your ISP, and you connect to it from another network. The SMTP server will allow connections without a password from anywhere, but it will only relay mail from within the ISP's network. It could also be that your account on the server has expired or been suspended.
If you need to send mail from outside your ISP's network, use an independent mail service provider. I don't have a specific recommendation.

I have a tiscali email account set up on my iPhone it receives emails but will not send - any one had the same issue ?

Of course you can't it is a generic document for use worldwide on every carrier mail service

You just add that info for SMTP settings

all as decribed in the above document
now read the doc again and follow the instructions once you have established the correct settings from your

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.

Centro, set up , does zincronising is essential for centro to function, my receives calls but does not send

my new centro seems to have a problem with set up.
now the unit receives calls but does not send ; does any one experienced a "se up" prolem?
Post relates to: Centro (AT&T)

If your are unable to send phone calls I would recommend that you contact your carrier about this. If you feel this is the device you can do a hard reset on it and before you sync try to place a phone call if that resolves the issue then go to your backup folder located here:
XP
C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One\[hotsync username]\backup
C:\Palm\[hotsync username]\backup
C:\Program Files\Handspring\[hotsync username]\backup
[Palm Desktop 6.2 only] My Documents\Palm OS Desktop\[hotsync username]\backup
Vista
Start-->Documents\Palm OS Desktop\[hotsync username]\backup
Mac
Macintosh HD : Applications : Palm : (Palm username) : Backup
Macintosh HD : Users : (Mac username) : Documents : Palm : Users : (Palm username) : Backup
And rename the backup folder to backupOld. Then sync. If this does not resolve the issue you may need to call the carrier to be sure that your SIM card and device is setup correctly.

Mail receives email but does not send

Hi,
I've just started to use Mail and am now using it to send and receive an email account that I used to run through Thunderbird on my Windows machine.
Mail can receive email for me, but it won't send it. When I try to send email, first I get an error message:
“... does not appear to be a valid email address. Please check the address and try again.
Then another:
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.
What's the problem? The settings are the ones I've been using for years. This is the only thing in OS X that hasn't worked yet!
Any help would be great.
Cheers,
Phil

Hi,
I just thought I would jump in here because last night I starting having this same problem. I have used Mail for years for my POP accounts (I have about five that I access through the program). I can receive mail; however, I cannot send it. I receive messages like:
"The server response was: relaying mail to hotmail.com is not allowed"
When I try sending the mail through my .mac server, I receive a message that tells me I am not recognized as a .mac member.
However, I can log into my ISP webmail and my .mac account just fine.
I have tried deleting the account and readding it; this hasn't made a difference to the outgoing error message. I use my ISP server to access email, etc. The Server Port Number I use is 110 for the POP accounts and 143 for the .mac, and I have selected None for authentication. There is a discrepancy in server ports. In the general account information settings, the server number is 25; in the advanced account settings, the server number is 110. Changing both numbers to 110 hasn't made a difference, and I cannot alter the port setting in the advanced settings.
Additionally, I can send email to myself or any of my accounts through my ISP--it is only messages to email addresses with different ISP's that I cannot send messages to.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

My iPad2 receives email but will not send

I've set up my email account again following Apple's tutorial without any issue. But still not able to send email

What email service are you using?
Is your password correct?
Does your email provider require that outgoing mail must be sent from a point on their network?

Aol receives email but does not send emails.

I was having a problem with my AOL account set up on my droid's and could not send emails out. I went all over the web and could not find an answer. I went to Verizon store today and I kid you not an hour later we got it to work.
Go to app menu the lower middle circle triangle
go to settings
go to accounts
click on AOL email
go to outgoing server
smtp.aol.com
port-465
username
pass
and check both squares
use secure connection and verify cert..
I hope this helps someone too!!
Good luck!

Thanks for that advice, and I'm glad it worked for you. When I first got the Droid X, I had a problem with my AOL mail not getting to my phone quickly (sometimes it took a day or longer), and occasionally, the mail would not send. I started using K9 email app from the Market, and the mail gets to me within a few minutes (most times) and I've had no problems sending mail.

My ipod touch will receive email, but will not send. I use hotmail.

I use hotmail on this ipod. It will send email without a problem, but it will not send at all. It gives me the message....a copy has been placed in your outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed....I have deleted this account and reloaded a few times...and have rebooted numerous times...I still bet the same message..What else is there to do?????

I didn't know the iPod touch was an android device.

Mail will receive email but will not send. Recent change of broadband provider. Help!

I've recently changed my broadband provider. My email address is provided by my previous broadband provider (although it was obtained seperately -prior to - my broadband deal). Since I've changed my Mail still collects mail from the email address provider but is no longer sending from Mail.
Funnily enough if I send an email direct from this provider they send without any problems.
I've checked the preferences and nothing seems to have been altered.
Confused.

Do I understand this as saying you changed "broadband providers", i.e., ISP's, and you are trying to send and receive email through your old ISP's mail servers? I hope I misunderstood that because you of course need to use your new ISP's mail servers.

TS3899 Can not send mail but can receive

I have a iPhone 3GS that has been working fine since I have purchased it. Now out of the blue it won't send any emails out on either of my two accounts. I have no problem receiving them but will not send. Any help would be appreciated

In Mail you may have to resetup your Outgoing Mail Servers settings using the proper info from your mobile carriers. Obviously your Incoming Mail Server settings are correct, since you are receivng mail OK.
Hope this helps

It's not a good idea to use a network disk for both Time Machine backups and other things. By design Time Machine will eventually consume all the space on its output disk, which will then cause problem for your other files. I'd store those other files on an external disk connected to the Time Capsule. The problem with that is that Time Machine will only back up files that are local to your Mac. That means that you'll only have one copy of the files on or attached to your Time Capsule.

Can not send mail, but do receive mail at a different location

I am on my way to college now and while staying at a hotel I can connect to the internet using the hotel high speed wired connection at the room. When I try sending mail using my MacBookPro mail application, I can not send any mail, but can however receive email. It keeps giving me error messages regarding the server for outgoing mail.

Mail Help has some articles devoted to sending problems, e.g. I can't send email or I can't send email because the connection to the server on port 25 timed out. You may want to take a look at them in case there is something there that applies to you.
