Can't send e-mail after upgrading to Leopard

I recently upgraded my OSX from Tiger to Leopard. When I log into my Mail account, everything appears to be working fine; I can receive mail, compose messages, etc. But the "Send" button is grayed out. I don't get any prompts asking for permission to send -- it's simply not an available option. Is this fixable, or do I need to re-install?

From the Mail menu, select "Preferences". Hit the Accounts tab. Select the Account. Under Account Information, reapply the user name and password.
Check with the provider if the account needs authentication. This is in the Advanced tab. Usually just a repeat of user name and password.

  • How I fixed the "can't send e-mail after upgrade to 10.5.6" problem

    Like many of you I couldn't send e-mail after the upgrade. After trying everything including re-install combo update, delete and resetting profile, etc. the thing that made it work was:
    1. custom set the outgoing server port number to 25 (for Verizon, ask your ISP the output port number)
    2. ensure the password authentication is set for outgoing e-mail.
    Goto account setting, "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)", select "Edit Server list"
    Under "Account Information" make sure "Description" is blank (as suggested in other posts)
    Under "Advance Information", select Use Custom Port: type in the port number
    On Authentication, select password, type in user name and password as in "incoming Mail Server"
    Save it and test if it works.
    It seems selection of the default outgoing port has some problems, even though 15 is one of the three defaults.

    I just switched to Roadrunner and am having the same "can't send email" problem. I have done what you suggested, but the problem persists. I did note that in my outgoing mail server box it says: smtp-server.wi.rr.com:jzelinger3 (Offline). I'm not sure where the "Offline" is coming from or why it is there. Any suggestions? I performed the following Terminal tests with a tech. support person from Roadrunner:

  • Can't open old mail after upgrade to yosemite

    can't open old mail after upgrade to yosemite OS X 10.10. My old mail was version 6.6. The new version is 8.0. What to do??

    How are you trying to open it, and what exactly happens?

  • Fonts Missing in Mail after upgrading to Leopard

    After upgrading to Leopard, the fonts are missing in the font window in Mail program. I can compose only using what looks like helvetica. This is true only with this program. Any suggestions? Thanks

    After an elimination process, it appeared that there was a conflict of some sort on one of the accounts I had and unfortunately, that was the one with the most messages. Its a pain but my only work around it was to start all over again with Mail. If it helps yo, this is what I did: a) backed up my Mail : user/library/mail and backed up the preference file : user/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    b) removed the Mail preference : user/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    c) restarted Mail and created the accounts all over again via the setup helper
    d) imported the mail boxes from where I saved them including those in the 'pop' folder
    Now I have they old messages available in a folder I renamed 'archived' that is in the "ON MY MAC" section of the side bar.
    IT IS TEDIOUS AND I AM PRETTY SURE THERE IS A MORE ACCURATE SOLUTION OUT THERE TO THIS PROBLEM.

  • Can't use Airport Express after upgrading to Leopard

    I use Airport Express for wireless printing and AirTunes via powered speakers/hifi. It was working very reliably until I upgraded to Leopard. Now, I am unable to use Airport Express. I get the blinking orange light, but when I scan with Airport Utility, Airport Express is not detected. Manual setup is grayed out, so I can't set it up at all. I am using Airport Utility Version 5.2.2 (522.3), and there does not seem to be any updates or patches to apply at the moment. I have tried on my iMac G5 and MacBook, with the same result on both computers.
    I am also reading that many others are having problems with Airport Express after upgrading to Leopard, perhaps not with my specific hardware configuration, but this is very disappointing.
    I am open to suggestions to try a few things to get it working, so any help is appreciated.

  • Can not send e-mails after iOS5 upgrade

    I upgraded my wifes iPhone to iOS 5. After the upgrade she can receive e-mails but can not send them. All the composed e-mails end up in her outbox. I click on the error and it says "The connection to the outgoing server "smtp.***.com" failed. Additional Outgoing Mail Servers can be configured in Setting>Mail, Contacts, Calenders."
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    Go to Settings => Mail,Contacts,Calenders => select the account and may have to click account again => should be viewing username and password, Scroll down and Select - Outgoing Server => Tap on Primary Server => try entering Username and Password in there even though it says optional... Also try port 25 if that doesn't work and try toggling SSL on/off if that doesn't work.

  • Can't retrieve sky mail after upgrade to IOS6

    I can't retrieve sky mail on my iPad 2 after update to IOS6, I can still get it on my iPhone 4 that hasn't been updated yet, so the problem is not with sky ? Any suggestions appreciated.

    I have the same problem after upgrading my iPhone. I get my mail on iPad still - so it has nothing to do with provider. What's more I can send mails - they go through. But I can't retrieve any. Help/suggestions appreciated.

  • Cannot open mail after upgrading to leopard

    I cannot open mail after I upgraded to leopard. I keep getting this message that "mail has unexpectadly quit. I have sent reports to apple. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    5.1.4 will solve the compatibility issue, however, it is no longer available from Apple -you would have to find a copy on Ebay or similar. The current version is FCP 6 -part of Final Cut Studio 2.
    Going back to Tiger will also solve it and will not cost anything, apart from the time spent reinstalling.
    Unless there is some feature in Mac OS X 10.5 that you really need, this would be the easiest way to get FCP running again.

  • Lost mail after upgrade to Leopard OS X 10.5.1

    I upgraded to Leopard 10.5.1 from Panther 10.3.x. Everything opened as before except all the mail in all my folders between March 2006 and the date of the upgrade. Bookmarks, applications, address books, files, settings, desktop, etc. Absolutely everything is exactly as before, but all my saved mail is gone.
    Apple support (phone) wasn't much help, except to tell me that I should have done an "Archive Install". It would have been nice to know that ahead of time...there's nothing in the booklet that came with the software to suggest that, or warn you to do that. All it tells you to do is load the disc and click "Install". I'm not a techie, but a 60 year old barely computer literate soul who's very frustrated.
    Given that all the mail before 2006 is still there, I have a feeling that the missing stuff is lurking somewhere. Apple suggested looking in Library>Mail>Messages, but it wasn't there.
    Any help out there? Thanks.

    Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
    This is a problem of incomplete and flawed conversion of mailboxes that changed in structure after 10.3.x. Most people encountered the problem converting from 10.3 to 10.4, but converting from 10.3 to 10.5 has all the same issues. Typically the data is not really lost, but considerable work must be sometimes be done to recover full functionality. Read the discussions at the following links, that while written for conversion to 10.4 and Mail 2.x, and nearly the same for your path:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=413196
    and
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2685531&#2685531
    The primary thing is to look for mbox files of size within xxxx.mbox folders, and not lose them before checking for what has successfully been converted into Messages folders within xxxx.mbox folders.

  • Can't connect to internet after upgrading to leopard

    Can someone please HELP ME! I have a ibook g4 and I recently upgraded from tiger to Leopard. My wireless internet service worked fine until I upgraded. My computer still recognizes the network i’m trying to connect to but when I try to connect, it either says “connection time out” or “connection failed.” I know it’s not a problem with the network because my husband can connect to the same network on his macbook pro and on a psp. I know the problem has something to do with leopard. If anyone has experienced this or has any possible solutions on how to fix this please help.
    Thanks in advance

    Kim, I have the same problem since I upgraded to Leopard, on the wireless connection at my office. Everything still works fine at home and on campus, so it seems to have affected some wireless routers and not others.
    I am still working to make the connection at work connect without the "connection failed" report, but one thing I've read is to go to your System Preferences, click on Network, select the Airport option, click on Advanced, click on the TCP/IP tab, then Configure IPv6: check to see that it's OFF. Some people have reported that this helps. Hope it does for you.

  • Can't open my JPEGS after upgrade to Leopard.

    I upgraded to Leopard about a year ago. It has been great so far except for one problem. I had a bunch of photos from work all saved as JPEG's in a portable HD and another backup drive. Now I can't open then with any software (i.e. iPhoto or GIMP). When you look at the files on finder the are shaded (like they have been selected when you are going to move or copy) and when you click on the photo the following message comes up: "The item "????.JPEG is in use right now and can't be opened. Try again when the current task (such as moving, copying or emptying the trash) is complete". I have also gotten the message that the photos are in use by another program. I have tried multiple things including copying the files to other drives including the Mac. You can open them in other computers and even open them on quick look, but again no luck opening them with any program on my Mac.

    I don't remember the version of tiger but always keep it updated with downloads. I ran DU and the postable disk is a FAT 32 formatted hard drive so it won't run. I did the other things that you said and the following cam up. The image file is called "axial drawing.jpg" stuff the I edited out has a question mark "?":

  • Can't Send or Quit Mail after upgrade to 10.4.7

    I just upgraded to 10.4.7 today via Archive & install, and while everything else appears to work correctly, I can't Send from Mail, and if I try to Quit after doing that, it hangs and must be Force Quit.
    Permissions are okay, but when I try to Send mail, it appears to go nowhere; there's no error message, no item in the Sent items box, nothing. There's also nothing in the Outbox in ~Library/Mail, and it hasn't been renamed to Delivered. The problem exists for multiple accounts; I can't Send from any of them, and if I send mail to one of the accounts from the web, Mail crashes when it tries to receive it.
    Any help in fixing this would be appreciated.

    Verify disk was fine, so I moved Outbox.mbox to the Desktop and tried relaunching Mail. When I went to check a single mailbox, it crashed, before I even selected the mailbox to check.
    In the meantime, I've lost my menubar items for the Clock and Volume (again), and some of my Preference Panes are not working because the system claims they can't be loaded or that I may be in Safe Mode, which I'm not. If it help, here's the crash report:
