I thought an MSN account is a Hotmail account.
Have you tried deleting and manually recreating your MSN account and your MSN account only?
MSN and Hotmail are two different accounts under MSN as I understand it. Regardless, having both accounts did work fine up until today.
I took your suggesting and also deleted my MSN account ending up with zero mail accounts. I then reinstalled MSN as my only account and now everything seems to work right. I think what got me in this pickle was that Hotmail was my primary account before getting MSN. Together they worked fine. However, when I deleted Hotmail, MSN did NOT slip into being my primary account.
Anyway, I'm back in business.
Thanks

Can't send emails all of a sudden

My hard drive recently crashed on Mac Book Pro running Snow Leopard. Was finally able to reinstall everything and it was all working fine including mail (I was able to send and recieve). A few weeks prior Verizon had sent out a notice indicating email settings are changing. I changed them on my iMac, iPhone, iPad with no problems at all. This was a few weeks ago. Then last night I changed the settings on my Mac Book. Now I can't send out any mail on my Mac Book including mail that is not Verizon. I am able to recieve mail, but not send mail on my Mac Book. I was able to send mail prior to the setting changes. I am also able to send mail from iMac, iPhone, and iPad just fine. All the settigs are the same across all devices. Please help!

Can't receive email all of a sudden

Hi
I have had my iMac for a year now. I'm using system 10.7.5. I have had no problems with it at all until now. About a month ago I suddenly stopped receiving emails in one of my accounts. All the others worked fine. I didn't make any changes to it at all. All of sudden, when I clicked on the Send and Receive Mail button, the little wheel just turned and turned to the right of the email account and nothing happened. I called my ISP who told me everything was working fine on their side. They did notice that the account was logging in to pull mail, but it wasn't logging out again. They told me it was an issue on my side.
I deleted the account and re-added it and it made a difference for about 10 minutes and then stopped working again. I went as far as deleting that email account off of my server as well and creating a new one for myself, putting a forward on the old one so I wouldn't miss out on any emails. This worked for about 2 weeks and I thought it was fixed. Now, all of a sudden, I can't receive emails again. I seem to be able to send emails just fine from the offending account.
I receive them without any issues on my blackberry so it isn't my ISP. The problem is with my mac. I took all my accounts offline and back online 10 seconds later and still nothing changed. Now and then it will suddenly work but I will get ALL the same emails that I have been receiving over the last few weeks and NOTHING new. It's very odd to me but I'm really hoping someone will recognise this issue and be able to shed some light on the subject. I can't keep answering emails off of my blackberry so I need to fix this and I'm completely stumped.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Shut down the app and then Reset...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon until they wiggle
- Press the red to delete the Calendar app from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
- Reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
- Restart Calendar

Can't send emails. all my outgoing servers are missing. I beleive this is a mavericks issue. any suggestions anyone. very annoying.

I have no email sending capabilty at all since upgrading. all outgoinf servers are missing. HELLP.

Razmee,
Guess what? After posting, I read another thread on this topic where someone said they went to an Apple store and the tech person there added the optional username and password in the Outgoing Mail Server boxes, and then reset the phone again. Although I had tried resetting and restarting a few times today, I had NOT reset it after entering the username and password into the optional fields.
When I entered my username and password into the optional fields, the iPhone entered checks (ticks) to the right of every entry; it had not done this earlier. (I didn't reset at this time, and the outgoing mail would still not transmit).
So just now, I reset it and the outgoing email was sent!
Thanks to you and this forum, it's a great ending to a few frustrating days.
I hope this message helps others. Not only does everything have to be entered correctly in the respective boxes; but once everything is entered and you press the "Done" button, every box should then have a check mark next to it and then you must reset the phone.

I can not send email from my iPad . Have been using it for over a year, all of a sudden I can only receive email. I have a wifi connection in my home and have a A T &T cellular data plan?

I can not send email from my iPad . Have been using it for over a year, all of a sudden I can only receive email. I have a wifi connection in my home and have a A T &T cellular data plan?

I have a 1st gen iPhone that I just updated the software to 2.0.2
Now whenever I press the mail icon it goes to the mail app for about 4 seconds, does nothing, no loading of folders, old messages, nothing.
Then it reverts back to the home screen. Tried restarting, haven't tried restoring, thought I'd look here first.
Anyone???

All of a sudden i can't send email

all of a sudden i can't send email with my frontier accounts. it fetches incoming email fine but i can't reply or send new email. it just sits in the outgoing box never to be sent. i checked all my out going server- smtp.frontier.com, port-25, password and username settings with the isp and all are correct. even tried some new port numbers, was using 25, told to try 587 and 465 but none seem to work. i have 3 gmail accounts and they all work fine. is this a system failure with VZ or is something wrong with my droid x? or some other setting? please help. thanks, al

Email back to working again. I am able to send and receive with no issues. Strange behavior with email. No apparent reason for this happening other than the weather was bad yesterday, cloudy, overcast with thunderstorms. Maybe disrupted signal?

On 3G we cannot send emails from either our iPhones or iPad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all. Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Email account. What is causing this and what do we need to do to resolve it?

On 3G we cannot send Business emails from either our iPhones or Ipad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all. Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Account using both 3G and WiFi.
We bought the iPhones and Ipad so that we could send emails while we are out of the Office, but we are not able to do this unless we can find a WiFi connection. Incoming emails are fine. We use IMAP, for Business emails just incase this is relevant and I know that Hotmail is POP3.
Our technical IT knowledge is not great, so we look forward to your suggestions as to how to resolve this.

Contact whomever supports the email account and get the correct Outgoing email server settings from them.

I can't send emails from Mail. I have three different accounts set up and have the same problem with all. The mail just sits in my outbox. All worked fine until Yosemite upgrade. Recent update has not fixed problem.

I have been experiencing the same problem. My mail app won't even open on my Late 2011 Macbook Pro. It will show as open, but the app will never actually show up.

Iphone 4s in settings can't access Notes or Mail. Also can't access mail from home screen. Can't send email. All else is good.

I need help. I have reset my iphone. I have turned it off then on. Still can't launch my built in mail app from home screen. When I try it goes to blank page then right back to home screen view.
In settings for the iphone 4s I can not access Notes or Mail, Contacts,Calendars. When I tap either of the two they highlight in blue and then go right back to Home Screen view. I seem to be able to access everything else in settings with no trouble.
From home screen I have no trouble I can launch the built in utility Notes with no problem. I also can launch Calendars from Home Screen view. My Contacts are still reachable by tapping Phone from H/S view then clicking on contacts.
I can not launch mail. nor can I send email. Also the built in mail app is not showing it is recieving mail either. All else seems fine.
I can log in to my email from Safari on iphone and from my laptop with no problem.
Anyone have any suggestions? My iphone is out of warranty. Apples only suggestions are To pay for support.
Thanks in advance

Just had a thought....was trying to rememberif anything changed last night. I think I installed a mac OS X Security update. That's about the time the trouble started. Any ideas? Thanks.

Suddenly I can't send email, but I can receive it!!

I'm getting messages 'can't send email' since this morning. I'm receiving email OK. I'm with BT mail. I haven't changed any settings.
Any help greatly appreciated.

My email still keeps dropping off. It's fine for ages then suddenly get the same message 'Can't send email. Check settings'
I do a reboot on the phone and that seems to reset the connection. But why do I have to keep doing this?

Live.ca smtp - I suddenly can't send emails :/

Hi there,
I got a replacement iphone 4s last week. Today I can't send emails and the message I get is:
"Cannot Send Mail
The username or password for
"SMTP:[email protected]@smtp.live.com" is incorrect.
Please help. Whenever Microsoft live email and apple get it together I would appreciate it.
Anytime about now would be good. Thanks.
This is not a new problem for me. I'm always having to reset my #!%%$@ Microsoft live password. It's a pain in the rear end.
Thanks to anyone that can help

I can't send emails with my Ipad4.

I have used my Ipad4 for a couple of weeks, then suddenly I can't send emails any more. I get the response that the username or password is incorrect. Well, actually they are correct. So I have checked and double checked. It seems to be a problem related to this specific Ipad. My other Ipad3 works fine, as does my Macbook. The web based email interface is also fine, so this is not a problem with the username or password. I also receive email fine, so it is rather strange.
Could it be some software glitch? Have others had this issue or have any idea's?

Thanks again for the reply. Well, it does not sound like this is a common problem, so maybe it is unique to my Ipad somehow. As mentioned earlier, i have no issue on another Ipad, not a 4 but a 3, with exactly the same settings. I have tried to delete the account and set it up again several times with and without airplane mode turned on. I use Virgin Media for my email here in the UK. They had no suggestions so far that could help. They correctly point out that since I have no problem with the other Ipad and the web access, it seems to point to some Ipad issue for the Ipad 4 or maybe just my particular Ipad.
So here are the details: This is a so called Imap account, so in order to set it up on an Ipad, one has to choose "other" in the email set up screen. One of the reasons my confidence is somewhat shaken in the software is that I get a message claiming that this feature is for O2 clients only. That is to be ignored however, and when one presses next, one then gets the choice to set up the account as Imap only if the Ipad is in airplane mode. I am sorry, but that strikes me as slightly clumsy, and it took me many hours of self tech help before I found another user who thankfully had discovered the aiplane mode trick to get the Imap option. Nevermind, now I set up the account as specified, which is:
Host: smtp.virgin.net
User Name: [email protected] (example)
Password: correctly entered
SSL:on
Authentication: Password
Server: 465, but 25 is also supposed to work
With all this, I can happily say it works on my Ipad3, but not my new one. Oddly as mentioned earlier, it worked for a month or so, then became intermittent, and then failed on my Ipad4. So it has actually worked even on the Ipad4.
It is all very frustrating. Maybe I will take it to the store and have them check the device for faults, unless of course there is some guru who can help? Any suggestions are certainly welcome.
Many thanks

Can't send email aol

All of a sudden I can't send email with my aol email account in Mac Mail. I have used it in Mac Mail for a years, and it stopped about a week or so ago.

I found this thread using the search
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11113286&#11113286
and it talks about port settings and changing email address extensions. It ended saying they were having server problems, but that was in February. However it does give a twitter account that you might check. However, some of the things they mention there might help you. I don't use AOL, but that is the best I can do. You might want to use the search box on the right and see what else you can find here if that doesn't work.

I just updated my IPad to iOS 5 and now can not send email. The error message says the server rejects the address which is not true Asti sends on my desktop.

I just updated my iPad to iOS 5 and now can't send email- I have tried the obvious but no luck. Any suggestions?

Usually 'authentication required' means that you need to submit a username (or e-mail address) and password to the e-mail server, when sending a message. This logic is not different between Outlook and Thunderbird, and even with the latest and previous version of Thunderbird.
Of course you can try the previous version again to see if it solves the problem, although you'll be less secure because you would be missing the latest fixes.
If you'd be willing to get back to Thunderbird, say if your frustration level with your new app would increase too much, please see our article [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cannot-send-messages cannot send messages] for further help.
In all other cases I'd appreciate it if you could mark this as answer so we know you don't need further help.

Can't send email from mac

Hi
I don't know since when, but I can't send email anymore via iCloud on my Mac. iPhone and iPad work. Online iCloud as well.
I am running:
OS X 10.9.2
Mail 7.2 (1874)
I use the @me.com adresses
smtp Server says: iCloud(iCloud)
What I tried so far:
I went to Accounts in SysPref and activated and deactivated the account.
No help
I deleted my iCloud account and created it new from scratch on my Mac
No help
But it changed the smtp server info from iCloud(iCloud offline) to iCloud(iCloud)
But still can't send it.
Also, all info seems to indicate that everything is fine. Account Info, etc.
I am running out of options.
Any help?

Try deleting the email account in Mail's Accounts preference pane
and then add it back. That will automatically enter the correct server addresses.
