Can't send email just stopped suddenly

cant send email from mac, just stopped overnight

I'm have the same problem. I just recently switched over from Time Warner cable as my internet provider to AT&T DSL. I have several macs and they are all set up now to use the AT&T DSL Modem. My laptop can send and receive email just fine, however, ever since I made the switch from Time Warner to AT&T my desktop can't. It can receive emails, but when ever I try to send them, I'm having the same problem where they just hang in the outbox.
Were any of you able to resolve the problem?

Hi Nikkidog!
It sounds like this article about troubleshooting issues with mail accounts would have the most applicable steps for troubleshooting this issue:

Sending emails just stopped

I have recently not been able to send emails on my IPad 2 but with the same account can still send on my PC
Lineone say this is an Apple problem and Apple (went to the Genius Bar last night ) say responsibility lies with Lineone.
Have checked all the settings and they are the same. Help!

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Can't send email, just hangs in outbox...

Since beginning of November, i have noticed my emails are not being sent. I have made no changes to my .mac account OR my imac system. I can still receive mail, but most of the sent mail, just hangs around in the outbox. Internet connection is fine, i have deleted the account and set it up again, only to have the same problem. I have an imac 10.4.11
Looking through other questions on the forum, it seems that this is a reoccurring issue, i have tried some of the tactics to cure it to no avail, can anyone suggest a simple remedy please.....?

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?

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.

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.

Just got an Iphone - Receives email but can't send email to anyone ( POP ). Error Message : "The recepient ... was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying."

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?

Can't send emails but can receive them! they just go to the outbox!

3 buttons you can press: "Edit Message", "Use Selected Server", "Try again later".

The iPad's Mail app has no provisions for creating groups. However, you can use a third party app that many users recommend.

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

IPhone 5 no longer receive emails, but can still send emails with yahoo email account. Any ideas to fix?

iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1.2 stopped receiving mail yesterday. Have yahoo email account. Can still send emails. Have turned device off/on. Have done the dual off/on thing using top button and menu button. Issue seems to be only with main inbox, as sub folders are receiving mail. Other Apple device is not having issues like this, just on iPhone.

Your issue is with the Yahoo email account which is notoriously bad.
you can try deleting and reinstalling the email account.
If that doesn't fix it try the yahoo email app.

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
