Can't get/send mail from MobileMe account

Suddenly, my mail app does not download mail to my MobileMe account, or send from it. All my other accounts from different suppliers work normally. I can see the mail sitting on my MobileMe page (via Safari) but the spinning cog wheel just goes round and round - on both inbox and Sent.
I've restarted, repaired permissions, removed the account from preferences and re-installed it, but it makes no difference. Any ideas?

Well, I wouldn't jump into that just yet. Others may have suggestions for you to try.
Select the moble me account in the inbox and try rebuilding the mailbox under the mailbox menu. See if that does anything.
Also, check server and port setting and compare to the one still working on your laptop.
At some point in time, I assume MMe will not be configurable under a regular account, but will all be intergrated fully into iCloud. Have you considered just signing into iCloud and using it that way? When doing so, it will create the account in your Mail application as long as you're signed in.
One word of caution: when signing into iCloud, be careful what you select to use. If you select calendars, it will upload your calendar info into iCloud and delete the information locally from the computer. Your calendar information won't be available on your computer when you sign out. Address book gives you the option to keep local contacts on your computer when signing out.
I also tried to add a mobile me account outside of iCloud to test, but it keeps setting me up to the iCloud IMAP account. The account disappears from mail when you log out. So, it won't let me set it up as a POP account. I've tried to set it up in the past using the older settings before iCloud, but wasn't successful. Maybe I had the wrong settings. Not sure what MMe was using last.

Can no longer send mail from exchange account

My send mail icon is now greyed out and I can no longer send mail. The only thing that I have done that I never do is I selected the "synchronize" option on the mailbox name after right clicking on it last night.
As far as Mail goes, I attempted to set up a MediaCom email box several days ago that never worked correctly, but I changed no settings on the exchange account and it was working great 24 hours ago. I've deleted the MediaCom email box.
Tried the usual quitting, rebooting but nothing is working, any ideas why this started and how to fix.

It is possible the Evil Starbucks empire has blocked SMTP sending as an antispam measure. You would need to log in to your email server using the smtpauth protocol. For example, Earthlink has an smtpauth.earthlink.net server for secure sending, which I was able to use sending from any public AP. Possibly T-Mobile has a similar authorized server.
But nowadays I just use Gmail, they make it easy and reliable to send from anywhere because they use a custom smtp port. Yeah, Gmail solved a multitude of problems with mobile sending.

lots of people seem to be havgin a problem sending email from iCloud webmail.
does your email address have uppercase characters in it?
if so, try creating an alias in lowercase (go to preferences in iCloud webmail and select 'accounts') and see if email sends okay from that

Can no longer send email from my accounts but can receive

I have 5 email accounts set up on my imac. 3 are mine 2 are my partners. I can no longer send emails from my accounts but my partner still can. They all still receive mail but when I attempt to send mail I get:-
Cannot Send Message Using Server
Then i'm asked to select a different server from a list. I have tried all but to no avail.
I first of all deleted my partners sky.com account because it appeared to me that this was maybe overiding all other accounts and it was no longer needed on imac.
I then deleted one of my accounts - hotmail, to see if i added it again maybe it would work but now I cant even re add the mail account as everytime i go to mail, preferences account to set it up again the initial screen comes up with my partners details including the sky.com username and when i overwrite these and try to install hotmail acount I get told that logging in failed check user name and password is correct. Which they are.
All used to work fine but now I have these problems, they appeared to have started when my partner set up an icloud account and is synching with this - could this be the cause?
I can send email from my accounts from iphone still but no longer from imac.

First,
I'd run all availiable software updates. After that, I would try removing all of the accounts from "Mail", and then re-adding them. Be aware that if your folders and such are located on your mac, and not on the mail servers, you may risk lose some information (always have a back-up).
Sometimes, when you have a number of e-mail account there can be server issues abound. I would go into the server lists and make sure that they are set properly. If you see the "use only this server" box, check it for each of them.

I have to agree with you , I too was disappointed to see that with IOS 4 on my iphone I still cant send from an alias. This is a feature thats available with the .me web access so why not the iphone mail app? If they can't do it, then at least let me be able to use .me via safari on the iphone and ipad.

Your description of the problem is a bit confusing. Do you have ONLY ONE Apple ID or do you have MORE THAN ONE?

Can't get new Mail from my Pop-Account...

Hello,
I have a problem with Mail, as I can perfectly send but not receive Mails from my Pop-Account. The settings are fine and the problem came up suddenly. When I try to get mail from Pop-Account the application starts to load, shows the number of mails in the account, begins to count up the size and then stops. I can even see the title of the mails by opening the window of the Account, but Mail does not download them.
I would be really pleased if anybody could give me an advice what to do.
Thanks a lot an greeting from a German in Bahrain

Hello and thanks to both of you,
I am using Mail 3.1 and the Account is coming from Strato, a German provider. Before, I had no problems neither with receiving nor with sending, but suddenly it stoped. I tried another account (gmail) that worked without any problem. Also your advice with SSl and the ports did not help . I Also phoned the Helpline of the provider Strato without any result . Also the place does not change - it neither works at home nor at work.

I want to bcc myself when sending mail from one account but not another. When I check "automatically bcc myself", it bcc's me from both accounts. Can I set this to work with only one account?

I have two mail accounts on my Mac. I want one account to bcc me when I send emails from that account. I checked "automatically bcc myself" under mail>preferences>composing, but both accounts bcc me when sending mail. Can I set this to only bcc myself from one specific email account? Thanks.

It does not make sense that your ssh does not have a dash capital Y (-Y) option. It is in "man ssh", and my 10.6.6 has the -Y option, and I've had a -Y option since at least Tiger (10.4) days.
My ssh is in /usr/bin/ssh
I'm not very good at X11 issues, so I'm just throwing ideas out there.
Does your broken account have a $HOME/.ssh/config file, and if so, what is in it?
Does the broken account have any $HOME/.x* or $HOME/.X* files that X11 might be reading to configure your X11 behavior differently from the new test account?
$HOME/.Xauthority
$HOME/.Xdefaults-<hostname>
$HOME/.Xresources
$HOME/.ICEauthority
$HOME/.keymap.km
The above are a few names I found looking through "man X"
While I'm thinking about it, I assume that when going to the server, you are using the exact same user account on the server, so that you have a constant at least at that end.
Have you tried trashing your
$HOME/Library/Preferences/org.x.X11.plist
file, to see if that is affecting the broken account?
Again, I am just throwing out ideas to see if anything sticks.

I can no longer send mail from my gmail account on my iPad.

I can send mail from my iPhone just fine so it isn't gmail. I deleted the gmail app and reinstalled it; restarted my iPad; and checked the settings. My wifi is working as is evidenced by the fact that I wrote and posted this from my iPad with no problems. Anyone have an idea of how to fix this?

Unable to send Mail from POP account

I have an Iphone 4 and have upgraded the IOS from 5-1 to 6.1.3. Since then I have been receiving all my mails but i have been unable to send mails from my POP account. the notification "Cannot Send Mail. A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The receipient, "xxyyzz @ gmail . com " was rejected by the server" displayed. Please Help. the same thing happens when I configure my POP account on my Son's Iphone4, and there is no problem in receiving and sending mails from my Outlook. Please Help!!!!!
Can i revert back to IOS5.1.1?????

Contact your email provider and get the correct settings to use for the outgoing mail server (SMTP) on a mobile device. If it's email provided by your ISP, they have likely blocked email from outside their network from relaying to prevent spam.

Cannot send mail from .mac account in Entourage

I am a new mac user so my troubleshooting skills are very weak. Until about one week ago, i was able to send mail from both my hotmail account and my .mac account. Now, i get this error (just on my .mac account):
An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic.
i read through much of the support articles, but did not find my specific error. can anyone help??
thank you

it may be that your server (internet provider) has just started blocking outgoing mails not authenticated by them.
Go to your account set up...
and fill in the following details.
SMTP SERVER: smtp.mac.com
then click on advanced sending otions...
click on override default SMTP port... type 587
click on SMTP servber requires authentication...
use same setting as receiving mail server.

Cannot Send mail from AOL account through Entourage

I have an AOL e-mail account and use the Entourage application to send and recieve e-mail. As of lately I can only receive mail, but can no longer send mail. I keep getting the error in Entourage "Connection to the server failed or was dropped". I have read every help article out there on this subject and have tried just about everything. Here is how I have Entourage currently set up:
IMAP server: imap.aol.com
SMTP server: smtp.aol.com
*I am using port 587 for the outgoing server and have authenticated it using my account ID and password.
If anyone else is having this problem or knows how to fix it please help!

How do I specify the gmail outgoing server if I have multiple gmail accounts in my mail? I have 2 business accounts and when I send mail from one account, it is sent from the other account and the sending email is not from the correct account.

I love my apple email and do not want to use google mail on safari. However, I have 2 gmail accounts set up on apple mail, but when I send mail from one of my gmail accounts (I choose the specific gmail account in the drop down window), it actually goes out as if it is from the other gmail account. I can't have that happen because one is my job, the other is a personal business account and unfortunately, the mail from both gmail accounts want to send through the personal business account. How do I make it send from a specific gmail account? I even tried deleting the accounts and setting them up again hoping I set it up wrong in the first place, but to no avail, it is still doing the same thing except this time I set the job account up first and then the personal business account and now everything goes from the job account! The only good thing is that the incoming messages work properly and they go into the correct inbox. Somebody please fix my outbox!

In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.
