Can receive mail but can't send.

After an hour or so with my ISP on the issue of not being able to send mail, I discovered that someone was sending spam through my wireless network, and consequently mail was being blocked by spamhaus.org. Check you wireless, it could save a lot of time.

Michael,

  • I can receive mail, but I cannot send mail, my mobile broadband is 3 and my server is BT

    I can receive mail, but I cannot send mail, my mobile broadband is 3 and my server is BT. I have been to the Apple Store today. They did not resove my problem. Can anybody help?

    Try this. Check the primary outgoing mail server username and password and make sure that they are in the settings even if it says that they are optional.
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if you can then send emails.

  • HT1277 i can receive mail but unable to send mail

    i can receive mail but unable to send mail

    I'm yet another person who upgraded to Maverick OSX. I'm now thinking, "BIG mistake". Mail was working perfectly. Then, last night, Mail stopped sending.
    I've checked everything. Comcast servers are set up correctly. Mail works fine on my ipad, but will not send. It gives me a SMPT error of "Cannot send message using the server comcast.net--authentication rejected" Comcast.net (Offline). I can not get it back online. I've also tried the fixes here, but there is no info.plist by those names in my library!
    Anyone have any other ideas how to get this working again? Apple's OS's have been pretty decently stable in the past. I had no thought that the upgrade would be so problematic. Live and Learn.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

  • Can receive mail, but unable to send mail

    am able to receive mail, but unable to send any whether through Mail or Entourage.
    didn't have this problem yesterday. Strangely enough, i am still able to send mail through my yahoo.com account. so there's nothing wrong with my connection.
    is there any fix to the problem encountered in my Mail.app?

    Did you accidently change the port through which you send mail?
    What smtp server do you use to send mail out? and please check the port number of that outgoing mail. It should be 25 for your own internet provider.

    My gmail accounts receives mail, but will not send, reply or forward. Also cannot open settings. It gets stuck in spin mode.
    I worked with an apple tech, tried several things, and then she suggested I contact Mozilla support.

  • HT1277 i have added my company e-mail add into my Macbook i receive mails but i cant send e-mails , anyone knows why ? i have tried all options in outgoing mail settings but it wont work !!

    i have added my company e-mail add into my MacBook , i recive e-mails but i cant send e-mails , anyone knows why ? i have tried all options in outgoing mail settings but it wont work !!

    Hello,
    The receiving email ports are:
    IMAP is port 143
    IMAP-SSL is port 993
    POP is port 110
    POP-SSL is port 995
    Outgoing ports are...
    SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

    Depending on what account your using, you may need to enter a password for your outgoing mail server, same password as your incoming mail server - go back into the mail account and check.

  • Lion Mail receives mail but will not send

    Suddenly my (1 year old) MacBookPro's Mail program will receive but not send to my gmail account.  When it trys to send I get the message:
    "Cannot send messageusing the server smtp.gail.com:[email protected]
    The server “smtp.gmail.com:[email protected]” cannot becontacted on the default ports.
    Select a different outgoing mail server from the list belowor click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent."
    I have a MacBook Air on which the Mail program works perfectly.  I've verified that the MBA and the MBP are using identical settings. 
    Any thoughts on what I should try next?

    Just execute the three commands in three different terminals.
    The IP-Number you connected to is strange. A reverse-lookup gives:
    $ nslookup 74.125.53.108
    Server: 192.168.178.1
    Address: 192.168.178.1#53
    Non-authoritative answer:
    108.53.125.74.in-addr.arpa name = pw-in-f108.1e100.net.
    That is definitively not google. Is it the same from both notebook? If not you have a dns problem on the MacBook Pro! It could be your local router or some kind of proxy of your internet-provider.
    Try entering the IP directly. So, a forward-lookup (in terminal) should give the following IPs:
    $ nslookup smtp.gmail.com
    Server:                    192.168.178.1
    Address:          192.168.178.1#53
    Non-authoritative answer:
    smtp.gmail.com          canonical name = gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com.
    Name:          gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com
    Address: 74.125.39.109
    Name:          gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com
    Address: 74.125.39.108
    Use one of the above IPs directly in Mail as your server for sending mail. Does this help?
    If not: Did you try the "Connection Doctor" in the windows-menu of Mail? At which point it becomes stuck?

  • I can log on icloud on pc but when i enter password on my ipad mini first gen with ios8 it tells me wrong password. and i can receive mail but cannot send any mail via icloud, gmail, yahoo never had to set this up with ios7. how do i resolve this?

    I updated my ipad mini first gen 32gig (4.3gig free) to run ios8 8.0(12A365) and i have a problem sending emails. i can receive mail but when i send it fails. my dropbox works fine, safari, and other apps work fine on the internet just the receiving of mail. Do i need to add a new outgoing server, though i dont remeber having to do this when i updated to ios7. how do i resolve this?

    Here's a troubleshooting article from Apple:  iOS: Troubleshooting Mail
    It doesn't seem to cover your specific issue, but have you tried using a different network (either a different wi-fi network, or switching from wi-fi to cellular or vice-versa if you have a wi-fi+cellular iPad)?
    For GMail, iCloud and Yahoo, copies of messages are stored on their respective servers, so you could try deleting the account on your iPad, then re-adding each account one at a time to see if that resolves the issue.

  • Can receive mail, but cannot send mail.

    I am able to receive mail, but unable to send mail. I went to the apple store and was able to send and receive mail while in the store.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Hope you have your install discs as you will need them, if you do no problems. If not you will have to call Aple to get replacements, as the discs are machine build depedent.

  • TS3899 With Yahoo Mail, and anotare account (Inacap Mail), I can only receive mails but I can't send emails. I don't know if this is a problem of the iPad or it is a problem with yahoo mail, because using Gmail and the email of my job I don' have this pro

    With Yahoo Mail, and anotare account (Inacap Mail), I can only receive mails but I can't send emails. I don't know if this is a problem of the iPad or it is a problem with yahoo mail, because using Gmail and the email of my job I don' have this problem.

    Google them to confirm the settings that you need for the outgoing server, then check the setting you entered on the pad.  Pay real close attention to the outgoing server name, and port.  You may need to change in on the pad.
