Can receive mail but not send mail

Hey, I can receive mail but cannot send mail. I previously had bellsouth mail and it worked fine, now I have a Charter.net account and I get a pop up every time I try to send mail saying, Mail couldn't be sent using the POP account Charter.net. I would really appreciate any help that some of you Mac experts could give me. It'd be nice to be able to send e-mail without having to go to the Charter website!
Thanks in advance for your help!

Ernie,
Is there any chance that this inability to SEND could be fixed by the removal of MessageRules.plist, MessageRules.plist.backup, MessageSorting.plist and MessageSorting.plist.backup that I have seen in other threads on Mail problems? I'm not having a complete failure of Mail, but I can't send mail (only receive).
I have contacted both my ISP (ATT) and my "second party" mail host (Godaddy.com) and all my settings are correct and things should, in theory, work fine -- but they don't!

  • After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

    After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

    My gmail, which is correctly configured for Mail with gmail SMTP and Google IMAP, works for awhile on Mail, which I leave open while working on other applications. But several times a day I get msg from Google: "We recently blocked a sign-in attempt to your Google Account" . . . and requiring me to verify my account details, re-enter passwords, confirm security settings (or change them from "disable" to "enable less secure methods" and so on). In Mail I also have tried "taking all accounts online", and re-entering my gmail password inside Mail account settings. These steps successfully re-set comms between gmail and Mail ... for awhile, then it happens again. Enough occurrences over a work day that I just quit Mail and revert to accessing gmail directly. Apple Care advisor and an Apple knowledge base article say that Apple can't deal with this, as gmail is third-party app, and they refer me to gmail, and so far I've found nothing helpful there.
    From today I also have several instances of a window saying "Mail has unexpectedly closed" and asking me to Re-open it.
    I also use Yahoo mail, which stops working with Mac Mail at the same time as gmail, but I do not receive notices to re-verify from Yahoo.
    I recently upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite. The Mail problem happened occasionally with Mavericks but is far more frequent with Yosemite.

  • I can receive emails, but not send

    I'm in Lion 10.7, and can receive emails, but not send.

    Check in Mail Prefs>Accounts - check that the outgoing server is correct.

  • I can receive iMessage but not send from my ipad.  The send button is grayed out

    The send button in IMessage is grayed out.  I can receive messages but not send them.

    Most, if not all internet service providers block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP being used for your internet connection at the time unless the SMTP server is authenticated.
    Who are you using as your internet service provider at the time?
    Does your ntlworld email account have an authenticated SMTP server.
    I believe Yahoo does for a Yahoo account.

  • Zimbra Server - can receive email but not send

    I need to connect to a Zimbra Server for secure email - I can receive email but not connect. I get a connection refused error for sending email.
    I am using a G4 mac, Mac Mail, OS X 10.4.11, AT&T dsl service.
    Can anyone tell me what settings need to be changed to make the connection for outgoing email?
    Thanks!
    John

    I don't have a Zimbra server to try to connect to, but I see directions for setting up Zimbra for Mac's Mail elsewhere, like near the bottom of this page...

    I see this one uses Port 465, which is different than the last one I checked.

  • Whilst travelling we have plugged in an optus wireless broadband, we can receive emails but not send them, we normally use an adsl broadband connection

    whilst travelling we are using an optus wireless modem, we can receive emails but cannot send them.
    == This happened ==

    Hello Carol.
    Although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
    As for your issue, you need to provide more information. Firefox is not an email client. You may be having a problem with the email client you use, or with the site you are using to handle emails...

    Many thanks

    Hello,
    Who is your eMail provider, the part after the @ sign?
    In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
    Then click the Show Details button & Check again.
    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.

  • I am visiting Germany from U.S. I can receive email but not send it

    HI I am visiting Germany from U.S. I can receive emails on my eyepad but cannot send! Any suggestions?

    Try to not use the mail app but rather use your service's webmail interface. For example, my mail is through yahoo. If I have issues with the mail app I can use safari and go to yahoo.com and access my mail that way.

  • My M276nw can receive faxes but not send them.

    This was purchased to send faxes and of course it has stopped doing that less than a month after the warranty expired. 
    I can't believe I was stupid enough to buy another HP product.  Never again.
    There is no information on what to do.  It is always some sort of comm error.  Usually mapping back to to much noise on the line.  Problem with that is the receive is just fine.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi @OldLinuxGuy ,
    I see that you are experiencing issues sending faxes, but you can receive faxes. I would like to help you.
    Run a fax test.
    From the Home screen, touch the wrench button.
    Touch the service button.
    Touch the Fax service button.
    Touch run fax test.
    You should get 4 passes.
    Check these settings for the fax:
    Go to the wrench icon/fax setup menu/advanced setup/private receive/turn it off.
    Go to the wrench icon/service /fax service/error correction/turn it off.
    Go to the wrench icon/fax setup /advanced setup/fax speed/change it to medium.
    Go to wrench icon/service menu/fax service/clear saved faxes.
    If you are still having issues, then follow this document.
    Cannot Send or Receive Faxes.
    Sorry for all the questions, but it will help to resolve this issue quicker.
    Did the fax test pass?
    What type of connection do you have? (Analogue, DSL, Cable Modem)
    Are you using a filter?
    Are you using the 2 wire fax cable?
    Do you have distinctive ring set up on the line?
    Is there any voice mail set up?
    Do you have a answering machine? (Where is it connected to)
    Where is the fax cable connected to? (modem, wall jack)
    Is there a phone also connected the printer?
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

  • Added money to account.  Can receive texts but not send them.

    I added money to my daughters prepay account and she can send texts but not receive them.  I have tried sending fresh texts and tried replying back and all I get are "message not  sent" notifications.  We are both on VZW.  She got the verifcation text that the  money went in and that the $20 texting plan was activated.  Please help.

        Hi, Spiniequeen!
    I am sorry to learn the device is not receiving texts! That's a bummer! Was your daughter's phone getting messages before adding money to it? If it had been awhile since funds were added, the features may need to be updated. I suggest contacting our prepaid team at 888-294-6804 for immediate assistance. Keep me posted!
    Thanks,

  • Got my unlocked iPhone 3gs I can receive calls but not send. My iPhone was bought from the UK but I am using Spanish Movistar. Can any one offer a solution

    I got my iPhone 3gs and wanted to use my old Movistar number. I can receive incoming calls but I can't call out. Can anyone offer a solution?

    Didn't ask them as this was an unlocked phone, it should have worked straight away sending and receiving calls
