Can't send AOL mail but can receive it

I have had my Droid 2 for 3 months and still can't send AOL email but can receive it.  My outgoing settings are:  smtp.aol.com - port 587

The best thing to do will be to go into the account menu and delete the account to make sure we set it up with the correct server information. The steps to delete the account are listed below:
Menu
My Accounts
Menu
Remove Account
Choose the AOL Account
Once you have done this we can re-add the account with the manual setup. The steps to do this are below:
Locate and Select the Mail icon from your Applications Menu. You will see a place to enter your Username and Password.
After entering your full email and password, select Manual Setup. You should now be on the Incoming Server page.
Locate the drop down box at the top that typically displays "POP3" by default. Touch and change the selection to IMAP.
In the Incoming Server box, change the entry so that it displays "imap.aol.com". Nothing else should need editing; Select Next.
You are not on the Outgoing server page. Change the Outgoing server box so that the entry displays "smtp.aol.com". Nothing else should need editing; Select Next.
Assuming everything went through with success, you will now be prompted to choose display/account names for the email. If you are planning on setting up multiple emails, then label so that you can differentiate this one from the others.
Once you have done this it will begin to receive emails with 15 minutes.

  • I can't send e-mails but can receive through my homecall(talk talk) account on my ipod touch

    Have done a few checks on my outgoing server. I keep getting an error message that says that my username or password is incorrect but I am copying the username from the configuration in microsoft outlook and I know that the passwords are ok.

    I have a homecall e-m,ail address via Talk Talk. The Talk Talk website tells me the settings that I need. The smtp address is a homecall one but I have got in a bit of a loop. My ipod tells me that smtp.homecall.co.uk doesn't support password authentication but I am unable to turn this off. Not too sure what to do next.

  • Cant send e mail but can receive hotmail

    cant send e mail but can receive email on ipad2 from hotmail....problem with ourgoing???

    Dear All,
    Thought that I'd report in.  My firewall is not on, so that can't be the problem.
    I went into my mail settings and re-entered passwords, account info, unselected SSL, then selected it again, entered custom ports, etc., etc., and was able to get mail to send, but no information seems to be stored and there doesn't seem to be any way to save any changes that are made.  There was always a box that came up and asked if you wanted to save changes, but I can't find it now.  If you shut mail down and start it up again, the same old problem occurs.
    I also have two smtp servers and it seems that if one is working, the other doesn't. If outbound.att.net is working and shows green, then smtp.att.yahoo.com is red.  If smtp.att.yahoo.com is green, then outbound.att.net is red.  Occasionally they will both be green, but neither one sends any mail.  Strange!
    Also, Connection Doctor shows a red light for no connection when my mail just swooshed out of the mailbox!  It really is working, but Connection Doctor doesn't show a connection.  And, when the light is green and a connection is made, the mail still doesn't leave the box.
    It still takes a long time to send anything, but I was able to send about five test messages tonight.  I'm still waiting for a fix from Apple.

  • TS3276 can't send any mail but I can receive it

    When I go into settings there are no outgoing servers to choose from I dont know what I have done but cant send any mail although still receiving mail

    Hi frisbo1312
    I am in the UK and eventually found the problem was due to my BT Home Hub Router.  Not sure where you live, but of you are in the UK, this might work for you.
    I found this fix below on https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4604180?start=15&tstart=0
    It worked for me.  If you can't link to the URL, here is the body of the text
    There's an issue related to the BT homehub that is providing a hostname that is "syntactically incorrect" for several smtp server.
    Here's how you can fix it.
    Using your internet browser, go to the address "192.168.1.254
    - Follow instructions to reset your password if asked.
    - Then go to "Settings", then "Advanced Settings" and "home network"
    You will see there all the devices that are connected or that has been connected before. It's gonna be easyer if yout computer is the only one connected.
    Your computer should have a name like "unknown-xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ...
    Click on this name, chose another name without any special characters, like "macbook" for exemple.
    And then click on "apply"
    - restart your computer.
    That should fix the issue.
    Credit goes to vincentfromcork for providing me with the solution.

  • I can send e mails but cannot receive them

    I can receive e mails but can no longer send them on my iPad 3 after downloading an apple update

    several things here, first you want to verify that your outgoing mail server settings match what your email providers outgoing server settings. - may need to contact them to get those. - you can edit those through settings/mail ocntacts, and calenders, tap that account.

  • TS3276 I can send e-mails but cannot receive e-mails

    I activated my gmail on my macbook pro (new mac user, older macbook).  I can send messages no problem and I can see them in "sent" folder and receive them on other devices  BUT, I am not receiving messages to the inbox on the mac book mail.
    I was told to remove the account and then reinstall it, but I can't figure out how to remove it. 
    Does anyone know where I can enable mail so I can receive messages?

    In order to remove your Gmail Account, go to System Preferences> Mail, Contacts, & Calendar Menu. You will see a column box similar to this:
    In order to remove Gmail, click in your Gmail and then go to the "-" sign. Confirm that you want to delete your account. Then launch mail and re-add your Gmail account through the Mail Set Up Assistant.
    Hope this helps!

  • Cannot send Yahoo Mail but can receive it!

    Hello all!
    I am new to Mac - just bought my very first macbook pro 13" yesterday and have fallen TOTALLY in love with it! Not sure why its taken me so long to realised my life wasnt complete without a Mac, but anyhoo!
    OK, so I have synced my Yahoo Mail Plus account with Mail, and it receives messages perfectly, but when i try to send messages, the sending little loading wheel just keep spinning, and Outbox says i have 1 message to go, but it never sends! Its been going for about 10 miunutes now!! I have quit and restart Mail a few times, but NADA!
    Any ideas? Advice? Help?

    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.

  • Using Outlook can no longer read mail but can send

    I have 4 computers all running Outlook and all has been working great for years, until I got new Verizon Jetpacks.  
    I am not able to receive incoming mail but I can send on a Vista machine
    My 2 XP computers work great
    My Windows 7 machine now works after someone suggested a change to the Jet pack settings
    My Vista still does not work even with the setting change
    Help please...

    Hi Stewartslanding,
    Check the incoming server settings and their authentication for layers. Maybe you have assigned it wrong. If you found them accurate, then change the IPv6 into IPv4 because older versions of Outlook do not compatible with IPv6.
    Hope this will help you!!!!!

  • When I start using my yahoo mail account , I can't send / forward mail but with IE the problem just vanished

    I have been using Firefox since last couple of months and initially I was happy but recently with the issue I have highlighted , taken help of Yahoo but could not be resolved. When I have gone back to IE , the problem has been resolved .

    Sorry, I have no idea what you mean by '''"The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin,"'''.
    If you think your problem is caused by the Java plugin, you should visit the Java support forum for assistance.
    http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jspa
    If you could explain what you mean by '''"time unfriendly''' issue with my e-mail account", maybe we'll be able to help you solve that issue.
    It might be helpful for us if we knew exactly which web-mail provider you are using. It seems strange to me that viewing or sending web-mail would actually "need" Java for operation, its more likely that some other item on the web page needs Java to run some advertising or other garbage that isn't a necessary part of the web-mail functionality you want to use.
