Can't send email only receive using safe-mail

I have a www.safe-mail.net email account and i have been trying to set it up on the Iphone.
I switched pop 3 on etc in safe mail and entered the settings it suggests. I managed to receive email but it kept refusing to send it out.
If anyone has any ideas would really appreciate it as it is driving me mad.
thanks

The Mac Mail program is not stupid but garbage in = garbage out.
The colon being added between Earthlink's server and your user name is normal with an authenticated SMTP server.
Although I have cable modem internet service at home, I've kept an old Earthlink dial-up account for use when traveling if a high speed wired or wireless connection isn't available (which is becoming less common). I use Earthlink's authenticated SMTP server to send messages with my Earthlink account when connected to my ISP at home and to send messages with my other email accounts when using Earthlink's dial-up for internet access when traveling.
My Earthlink SMTP server settings are as follows:
SMTP Server: smtpauth.earthlink.net
Server Port: 587 (this is determined by the ISP used for connecting to the internet but since you are not using Earthlink for internet access, Port 587 should work but not always)
Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): Off or not selected.
Authentication: MD5 Challenge-Response
User Name: Your entire Earthlink email address.
Password: Your account password - the same password use for checking the incoming mail server for new messages.
If these settings do not work, it is likely the ISP you are using for internet access is blocking the use of all SMTP servers that are outside of their network on any port even if authenticated.
I don't want to use my ISP's way of sending and receiving email.
I just want to use my ISP for DSL service and keep my earthlink
mail email address.
Unfortunately, you have NO control over this. You are at the complete mercy of your ISP and their restrictions.
You can add your ISP's SMTP server information to the Mail.app and select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send messages with your Earthlink account which is completely invisible to all recipients.

Mac mail can't send email, only receive. Why?

I have a webmail server that I installed on my mac mail. It is receiving emails, but it won't send. I use the correct port for outgoing emails and all the log-in info is correct. Can anyone help me? Is there a better mail app for mac I can use?

I cannot send emails, only receive, after upgrade to Yosemite today, Apple should resolve this issue. Any help more than welcome. Thanks in response to Pita Fito I have contacted three more people that made the upgrade and they have the same problem

in response to Pita Fito
I have contacted three more people that made the upgrade and they have the same problem. My advise is not to upgrade until Apple solves the serious issue, I would hate to have to re-install Outlook...

I can send e-mails just fine with apple mail on yosemite...
Might not be a generic problem but rather a personal problem..
You should try find a fix rather than waiting on apple.
Hopefully somebody can help you out.
More than happy to help with your settings/preference pain... And compare mine with yours...
If you send some screenshots... I can send you my equivalent... So maybe you can figure it out.
Is it a gmail or icloud email acount? Can be of more help if it is.

BTW. I have seen posts suggesting age of Mac has an affect. Mine is MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012)
The mail I am having problems send is Exchange and google mail. The google client I re-installed and this had no affect.

Trouble sending email attachments or using photo mail

Hi. I have Elements 6.0 and I'm using a HP computer with Vista. Starting about three days ago (for sure that I know of), I have not been able to send pictures by email attachment or photo mail in SHARE. I have been able to send pictures without problems in the past. When I "send" the pictures, everything looks fine (counting down of pictures sent displays and disappears as usual). When I pull down "find" and then "by history" and then "emailed to", its says my emails have been sent and how many pictures I have sent.
So, that is my question. What has happened that I can't send email attachments anymore and how can I fix it?
Thank you for any help or suggestions!
Laura

Well I had a brief moment of elation this am. All 26 of the test images I mailed to myself showed up in my mail box and my husbands. Thought it was all fixed. Tried to mail another and so far have not received it. Is it possible that the speed of delivery is REALLY slow? There has always been an inordinate lag time in receipt; about 7 to 10 minutes. But 3 days seems a little ridiculous. In the mean time I registered for the free adobe photoshop. It is bare bones, really easy, and it works. Their email does not have imbedded photos, but it does work. Just go to photoshop.com.

Why can I access Internet, and get my email through yahoo, but can't access email when I use the mail icon on the front of my tablet. It just started doing this today.

Why can I access the Internet, even get my email by going through yahoo, but as of this morning I can not access my email from the mail icon on my tablet screen. It just started doing this today. When I try to get my email by going through the icon, I am asked to enter yahoo password. I do this, then the box just pops up again, and again and again never letting me get signed in. Don't know what I am doing wrong. Need 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 Emails With Mac OS X Mail?

Why can't I send emails through Mac OS X Mail when I'm using another internet connection (besides my main home connection)?
Thanks,
Mason

This is likely either because when at home you are using the SMTP provided by your ISP, and it is not separately Authenticated and thus blocked by the host ISP at the other venues, or you are using a third party SMTP successfully on Port 25 at home, but in the other venues, they are blocking third party SMTP on Port 25.
If the SMTP of your ISP, check to see if they have a version that can be authenticated for travel use -- many do.
If using another SMTP at home on Port 25, change to Port 587 which should work either at home or away.
More info, please, if this does not solve, including who your ISP is?

Is anyone else having trouble sending email via O2 using Apple Mail (However, I can receive fine)

Since the upgrade to Mountain Lion (OSX 10.8) I have noit been able to send email via Apple Mail through the O2 network in the UK. O2 say they are aware of this but that it is something that Apple need to address via a patch.

Following a 45 minute call to O2 yesterday I've just had a further conversation with O2 who advised me to change my 'port setting' to 25. Mail now works fine! Panic over.

How can I send email from iPad using someone else's server

I use the Netspace server but I'm visitng a friend and using her optusnet server for the Internet, however I am unable to send email, even though I can receive it

Critters222-
I assume Netspace is your Internet provider. They may have their mail server set up to only work when you are accessing the server locally from their domain. I suggest you contact Netspace and ask them what you need to do to send E-Mail to them from other domains.
Have you been able to send E-Mail from other places? If so, there might be a firewall problem in Optusnet. In that case, they may be best able to advise you.

Can't Send Email from Iphone Using Pop Account

I have check our host names, ports, user name, passwords etc (all the account mail settings are OK) for incoming and outgoing servers. I can receive email fine but can't send them back out through the outgoing server. I am using the identical settings that I used in my Treo (which sent out emails fine). Upon sending an email the error message I get on my iphone is: " The recipient [email protected] was rejected by the server." I've noticed that I can send an email to "myself" (from the iphone) and it will show up on the in my email box, but email sent to other addresses will generate the above message. I've noticed, too, that I have to keep resetting the "Authentication" to "Password" (under advance settings) because it mysteriously resets itself to "MD5 Challenge-Response". The setting should be set to "Password" however. We are using a FirstClass email system. Sending email via the iphone by way of .mac, yahoo and gmail works fine (no mysterious rest of the "Authorization" settings either) .
It most me something obvious, but I can't see it.
I would really appreciate some help.

Can't send emails or receive emails

For some reason i can't send or receive emails at all on my laptop, but if i go to mobileme all my emails are there and i can also sent emails. Any ideas? thanks

Dozens. Instead of Discussions users playing "guess that problem" though, why don't you tell us exactly how you're trying to access your email and what error messages or issues you are specifically having.
We know you're using MobileMe. What email client? Have you had internet issues? On a laptop, are you mobile or in a fixed location? What happens when you send? What happens when you receive?
The more detail, the better the help you'll get in return.
