Can't send e-mails via Mail with a Gmail e-mail address using Sky internet

Can anyone help? My brother has an iBook G4 Mac OS X 4.1 and is trying to send e-mails via Mail with a Googlemail e-mail account. He is using Sky for his broadband. I assume it has something to do with his outgoing smtp e-mail Preferences in Mail, but for the life of me I can't figure it out. He can receive e-mails OK, its just that when he tries to send he gets the 'server can't send error'. Any ideas?

Here's my gMail IMAP SMTP settings...
smtp.gmail.com
Port 25
Authentication: Password
SSL
Sky may require another port to pass through...
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995
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.

  • Can't send any emails from various accounts set up in mail 4.4

    I have a number of different email accounts (3 POP, 1 IMAP) set up in mail 4.4. Lately i have had some problems sending emails from some of the accounts. Usually, I get the outgoing mail server reject message, and then I try another server, and then it sends. THe next time I go to send an email through the outgoing server that I was rejected by, it sends without problems. Each time I shutdown, restart, or open the lid on the macbook, I go through the same process. UNTIL today. Now, I can't send ANYTHING outbound, via any of the 4 outgoing mail servers that I have set up. I have run with this same configuration without change for almost 3 years. Only change is that I have recently changed ISPs. Please help. Work from home, so critical problem.

    I had had the same problem after changing my ISP. It is definitely a Mail 4.4 problem. I partially fixed it by trashing all four of my e-mail accounts in mail preferences (simply click on the minus sign to delete them) and rebuilding them all with the correct settings and passwords. This worked fine with ATT, MSN and QWest but the Mail app simply refuses to connect to AOL's outgoing mail server (smtp.aol.com). In other words, I can receive AOL mail but I cannot send AOL mail using the Mac Mail app. Have to log on to AOL's web site and do it that way, which is a huge pain in the you know where. Mail 4.4 is definitely hinky -- keeps erasing passwords and asking for them again and again. As a result, my keychain contains numerous repetitions of the same password for each mail account. I don't know why Apple doesn't fix this problem, which recurs with depressing regularity according to many Mac Mail users on this forum.

  • How can I send email from my yahoo alias account in iPhone5 mail?

    How can I send email from my yahoo alias account in iPhone5 mail?
    I have 2 email accounts: [email protected] is an alias of [email protected]
    In my old iPhone3 I had these accounts set up so that I could send and receive email from both accounts. I did this using the following settings:
    ‘Other’ POP account info:
    Name: xyz
    Address: [email protected]
    Description: alias
    Incoming mail server:
    Host name: pop.mail.yahoo.com
    User name: [email protected]
    Password: password for yahoo account
    Server port: 995
    Outgoing mail server:
    SMTP: smtp.o2.co.uk (o2 is the name of my phone network)
    Server port: 25
    ‘Yahoo!’ account info:
    Name: xyz
    Address: [email protected]
    Password: password for yahoo account
    Description: Yahoo!
    Outgoing mail server:
    Primary server: Yahoo! SMTP server
    Server port: 465
    I’ve tried using the same settings in my new iPhone5, but it doesn’t work. I can receive mail to both accounts, and can send from the Yahoo account, but I cannot send mail from the alias account. When I try, it displays the message: “Cannot send mail. A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The recipient ‘[email protected]’ was rejected by the server”.
    I’ve tried to configure the POP alias account using combinations of ‘pop.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ and ‘apple.pop.mail.yahoo.com’, for the incoming host, and ‘smtp.o2.co.uk’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com’ and ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the outgoing mail server. None of these have worked.
    I’ve also tried setting it up using IMAP instead of POP without success. I tried configuring it using combinations of ‘imap.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘imap.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ and ‘apple.imap.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the incoming mail server and ‘smtp.o2.co.uk’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com’ and ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the outgoing mail server.
    Yahoo say that if I can't send Yahoo! Mail from my mail program, I may be accessing the Internet through an ISP that is blocking the SMTP port, and that if this is the case, I should try setting the SMTP port number to 587 when sending email via Yahoo!'s SMTP server. I don't think that this is the problem, but I tried it just to make sure - without success.
    I’ve also heard that the problem might have something to do with the SPF settings of my alias domain provider. I’m not too sure exactly what SPF settings are, or how to change them, but from what I can gather it seems unlikely that this is the problem given that I was able to send mail from my alias account on my old iPhone3.
    Any help much appreciated: how can I get my alias account to send emails in iPhone5 mail?
    Many thanks,
    Patrick

    A new development: I've tried sending emails from the alias several times over the past 24 hours, but in general I've deleted them if they haven't sent within about half an hour.
    However, one of the messages I left sitting in the outbox did send successfully in the end, but this took about an hour.
    So: perhaps my problem is not in fact that I am completely unable to send mail from my alias, but that I can only do so intermittently and extremely slowly, and by ignoring the "cannot send" message.
    Any help appreciated.

  • Can someone please help me figure out how to "clear" recent email addresses used in Mail?

    Can someone please help me figure out how to “clear” recent email addresses used in Mail?  For example, as I begin typing a name/email address in the “To:” field, Mail begins suggesting addresses that I’ve previously used.  I don’t want any suggestions unless they are in my contacts. 
    Another example:  When using MS Outlook, it will also remember and suggest email accounts previously used, but I can arrow down and delete an account from the list so it won’t automatically popup or suggest in the future. 
    I appreciate any guidance in this matter. 

    The iOS email app stores all email recipients in a list of previous recipients which cannot be turned off. The email address autofill feature when addressing an email pulls from contacts and from the list of previous recipients which can't be prevented. There is no option to clear the list of previous recipients - not at the present time anyway.
    If you don't want any suggestions, select from contacts instead when addressing an email.

  • Can you send and receive Fax`s with Firefox?

    Can you send and receive Fax`s with Firefox? If so how do you do it?

    Hi invariance,
    Your printer supports eFax only, not analog faxing. To eFax, you will need to go through the registration process from the front panel of the printer. This will give you 20 faxes per month for free. If additional faxing is needed, you will need to cantact eFax and set up an account. There will be a fee for additional faxing capabilities.

    My iPhone 5 won't use 3G when 4G isn't available. I live in the middle of nowhere, but with my iPhone 4 I could use the Internet on 3G just fine without needing wifi. Now I don't get anything unless I'm on wifi. My phone says '4G' but then says 'could not activate cellular data' or gives me the gray google failed because you dont have internet page. I have AT&amp;T if that matters. I just want to get Internet and my email like I used to be able to. Slow 3G is fine with me, but I need it to work on my iPhone 5. Can anyone help me?

    Oh ok, thank you! So I just got a bum SIM card when I bought this phone or something?

  • Can't send mail via iCloud with my iMac after creating a new account

    Hi,
    yesterday I created my account on Icloud.
    I've Lion on my Imac, so I registered the account directly from settings on my Imac.
    Now I can receive mail, but I can't send them, because the imap smtp server won't recognize my password.
    If I access on icloud.com, I can do everything correctly.
    Thank you for your support.
    <Email Edited by Host>

    It's a bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've aasked the Hosts to remove it.
    The first thing to try would be to sign out in System Preferences>iCloud, then sign back in again and check 'Mail' and any other data types you need in the list. This will set Mail up, hopefully correctly.
    If you are still having problems accessing or sending mail go to http://appleid.apple.com and change your password, making sure that it complies with Apple's requirements: at least eight characters, of which at least one must be a numeral and one a capital letter.
    Note that iCloud does not interact with any other email service. You cannot use it to check other email accounts, and you cannot send using its smtp server with any address other than your @me.com one as the 'From' address.
    You should be able to set up other accounts separately in the Mail application: these would be unaffected by iCloud in any way.

  • Can't send a document via mail in Acrobat

    I can't send a PDF document from within Acrobat 9 PRO to my mailprogram Outlook 2003
    When I click te button "Send by mail" or File->Send by mail nothing happens :-(
    Is the a way or workaround to resolve this problem??
    Thanks for your comments!

    I have the same problem in Acrobat 8, but most other people in my company don't have that problem, so I believe it has something to do with my settings. Never-the-less, my workaround is to "save" the email first. You would think it would put the email into your drafts folder, and you could send it out from there. Instead, it puts it into my "inbox". Then I forward it out from there. It's perhaps an awkward solution, but it works.

  • Can I sync Mail via USB with my PowerBook?

    I have a new iPhone 4S and a PowerBook G4 17" with 2 GB of RAM that is in mint condition.  I understand that I won't get e-mail from a Mail account directly on my PowerBook once I convert from MobileMe to iCloud, unless Apple or a third party develops an "app for that".  No way do I want to buy a whole new Mac just for iCloud.  Given the ability to sync music and photos between iPhone and PowerBook right now via the USB cord for my iPhone, can I also sync my Mail via USB if I upgrade to iCloud on my iPhone?

    You may sync your mac with iPhone via iTunes, as always with iPhones, check whether version is compatible with last iOS. Then your iPhone may sync with iCloud. I still have a 12 in PB made in 2004, it works fine with my iPhone, just it is older, the first iPhone on the market, it sill works fine, no need to replace it.
    Before testing anything, backyp your data, just in case you make a mistake, always do that.

  • How can we send Error Idocs via mail

    Hi,
    I have read read through forums and  understood that it can be achieved either through workflow or through report using table edidd & edids.
    If workflow option is used , does the mail trigger for every error idoc ? How can we send daily error report to user say by EOD containing all error idocs using all possible options.
    Regards,
    Rachel

    Rachel,
    I dont think so any direct Report will be available just to get Error IDOCs details. Although you can create a simple report to read the tables. An example is in below link.
    http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/Custom+report+for+IDOC+Monitoring
    Also, you can create a Query of EDIDC and EDIDS tables to obatin relevant information.
    Thanks,
    Ravi
