Can't send e-mail, receiving OK

Out of the blue today I am suddenly unable to send e-mail.  If I go to mail/preferences/accounts, my smtp server shows "smtp.xxx.net(offline)"... xxx used to replace actual name.  A call to my ISP resulted in finding out that they are having no issues with the outgoing servers.  I tend to belive them this time, as I can send e-mail from my iPhone through the same account and smtp server.  I've read many previous posts that mention a password issue.  I deleted and re-entered all my passwords. Still no go.
Clicking on Mail/Accounts brings up Internet Accounts.  When I click on my mail account there I get this message...Password could not be sent to “pop.xxx.net” securely.  Now I'm not sure what's up with that, as I'm able to receive mail just fine.  I also read a number of previous posts regarding this particular password message, but didn't see any advice there that I was comfortable with at this time.
Any help would be most appreciated.

A morning update.  I am now able to send e-mail once again, but I can't say for sure what I did to make it happen. As mentioned in an earlier post, all my e-mail accounts were POP accounts.  When I deleted the main one, and set it back up again, it became an IMAP account.  This morning I was experiencing the same problems as yesterday.  I went to the IMAP account, and today it allowed me to uncheck the SSL box.  But I was still unable to send.  I quit Mail, went back in, and the SSL box was checked once again, but I noticed the password didn't seem long enough (probably the POP account password).  So I put in the correct password, and everything works.  I am now able to send from the IMAP account and the POP accounts.
With the Internet Accounts situation mentioned in my original post, I still get the "Password could not be sent to pop.xxx.net securely" message when I click on the POP accounts, but I get no password message when I click on the IMAP account.  Any ideas on what might be going on there?  Would it be recommended to change all my accounts from POP to IMAP?

  • HT1277 can receive bat can't send yahoo mail massage could not connect to smtp what to do?

    See OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages for details. on troubleshooting mail.
    Your SMTP server settings are incorrect.  Mail has two connections, a receive path from your mail server to your mail client, and a send path from your mail client to the mail server.  The send path uses SMTP to communicate with the server.
    Apple Mail.app has separate settings for the receive and send paths; each has its own server, username, password, port and SSL settings.  Your send path settings are likely incorrect. 
    To determine the proper settings, check with Yahoo for the SMTP server settings for your account (usually a web search, but I don't know the details of how Yahoo sets up their accounts by default nor whether that varies by account), and verify that your settings match — the send-path settings are available via the accounts settings; Mail > Preferences > Accounts > select the account > Account Information > and switch the Select SMTP Server setting to Edit SMTP Server List... > select your Yahoo SMTP server, and set the account details per Yahoo requirements.

    You have omitted all useful information from your post,

  • Can't send e-mail using Mail.  Entourage works fine with same settings.

    I can't send e-mail using Mail. Using exactly the same settings on Entourage everything works fine.
    Until earlier today (for two days only) I couldn't send either. I was advised to run Keychain Access First Aid which spotted "Item “pop3.freezone.co.uk” is a duplicate; this item's port attribute is not set" and then repaired it (Freezone is the name of my ISP). Now I can send Mail but not receive.
    Even stranger is that until today I could receive Mail on one of my two accounts, while only Mail from one person got through on the other. Now no mail is arriving.
    I tried swapping the plist file for an older version from a backup of my system. That didn't work either.
    I'm tearing my hair out! Any suggestions?

    No.
    I'am sendig email from domain A using SMTP belonging to domain A.
    The emails that's addressis is the same as senders (@grader.ee) are going out. But all others don't.
    If there is wrong outgoing SMTP server even those emails can't send.

    This is the exact text of one of the failures:

  • Can't send e-mails, only save drafts - Blackberry 8520

    Somehow, I can't send e-mails regulary anymore. The only way to do this is by goinb to my address book, select a contact and click the send e-mail option. However, if I start composing an e-mail without doing this, the only option I get it "save draft", meaning there is no "send" option anymore. I didn't make any changes on my phone settings or anything, this just happened somehow. I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance for your response.

    Hello,

    Have you done these steps exactly as documented above, and in the order above? The order you've laid out is not the same. Plus, I cannot tell, from what you say, what the results of each step were. Did you receive the proper registration message after doing the HRT? Did you receive further messages when you resent the service books? Do you have a full and proper data plan on your BB from your carrier? Are you shifting from a prior carrier? If so, has the prior carrier properly released your BB from their system?
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Can only send e-mail from home wi-fi

    I have three e-mail addresses that I use on the iPhone however for one of them I can only send e-mail when I am at home using my wi-fi. If I am anywhere else using wi-fi or 3G I get a sender address was invalid message.
    Any suggestions?

    Many ISPs only allow access to their smtp servers (the server that sends mail, which is different that the one for receiving mail) over their own network. Others require different settings when connecting from outside (which you're doing when you're on 3G/EDGE). Another option is to use AT&T's outgoing mail server to send. You can enable that in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > tap account > Outgoing Mail Server/SMTP > set AT&T SMTP server to ON. That way, the AT&T server will be used away from home (as long as you're connected to 3G/EDGE/GPRS - if you're connected to another Wi-Fi network it won't work) and your ISPs server will be used at home.

  • Broke what didn't need fixing -- can't send e-mail

    I upgraded to Leopard yesterday, and have lost the ability to send e-mails. I talked to the guy at Cox this morning, and he says he's hearing this a lot lately -- that Leopard and Cox (and maybe others?) are having problems. Something about security, he thinks, but he's not with Apple so he doesn't know what they did with Leopard that "broke" what was working fine with Tiger/Panther/Wombat/whatever releases of OSX.
    It won't accept my password, and insists that my outgoing SMTP server is offline, while it still lets me receive mail.
    I'm fairly cheesed off by this, and REALLY hoping Apple's working on a fix for this.
    Had I known this sort of thing was possible, I wouldn't have upgraded. Grrr.
    Tony

    First, This is the most frustrating thing!! I am having the same problem as the others on this thread. I post to let apple know this is a real problem for a lot of people and it needs to be addressed ASAP. I can't send mail on either of my accounts on my macbook but I can send on both on the PowerMac.
    I have 4 macs on my network and the only one with this problem at this time is my MacBook Pro. I had this problem on my Power Mac a few months ago and finally fixed it by deleting my account in mail and re-creating. That has not worked this time. When I look a the 2 computers (the macbook and powermac) the mail accounts are setup exactly the same. I have tried every suggestion on this and other boards without success. Can't send any mail (told can't connect to server and/or accounts always offline and option to change grayed out. Have tried ports 25, 587 and 990 with no luck.
    I upgraded to Leo on the day it came out and did not start having a problem with mail on the macbook until this week. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH Leopard when it comes to mail, Safari and networking in general. I have had a number of very odd experiences since the upgrade. Not all of us are suddenly screwing up our email and only doing it since the install of Leo.
    Had this problem in Tiger once and had to change the port from 25 but that was all that was necessary.

    Why can I send  but not receive them?

    Macrumors posted a solution for this.  I used it and it seems to have worked for me.
    Here's what they said:
    1. Turn off iMessage in Settings > Messages
    2. Reset networking settings in Settings > General > Reset
    3. Reenable iMessage in Settings > Messages

    I'm not sure I know what you mean by 'what settings are you using in the accounts part of mail preferences', but I'll give you as much information as I can in the hopes that some of it is responsive.
    In "preferences" I select "accounts" and there are 3 listed:
    'personal gmail' (IMAP)
    'business gmail' (IMAP)
    'Yahoo' (POP)
    For each of the above, the "Account Information" tab gives:
    description: [username]
    email address: [correctly reflects my address]
    full name: [my name]
    Incoming mail server: imap.gmail.com
    user name: [my username]
    password: [*** - I've re-entered to ensure it is my true password]
    outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.gmail.com:username
    Is it all in the same format on the iphone?
    This is the same information for the 2 gmail accounts, with the exception of the usernames differing. If I click "server settings" at the bottom, it reflects the outgoing mail server "smtp.gmail.com" server port 25, my correct user name and password.
    Again, different names for the different accounts, right? And this is the same port etc. as you put into the iphone
    All of the above information matches what I input into my iPhone, and it has worked fine since day 1, so I don't understand the malfunction.
    Open /Applications/Utilities/Console. Make sure console.log and system.log are open (or see the File menu).
    Try to send an email.
    Look for new lines in the log files (it should scroll down automatically so the newest lines are at the end of the log at the bottom of the window). What do you see? (Erase or substitute for any personal info before posting.)
    Do you use any firewall software or have you used third-party software or Terminal to configure the builtin firewall?

  • Can not send be-mail os10.9.4 server offline !!

    can not send be-mail os10.9.4 server offline !!

    Hey there mikeneiris,
    It sounds like you are not able to send any emails because the account is showing as offline. I recommend these steps from the following article to help you get that going again:
    Mail (Mavericks): If a mailbox is offline
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14925?viewlocale=en_US
    To take an account online, click the lightning bolt icon. Or choose Mailbox > Online Status > Take [account name] Online, or Mailbox > Take All Accounts Online.
    If you can’t take an account online, make sure you’re connected to the Internet. If a warning icon appears after the account name, click it for more information.
    Use Connection Doctor
    Some mailbox names can appear dimmed if you don’t have permission to access them, such as “public” mailboxes on a server, or if the mail server is unavailable.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling
