Can't send email since upgrading to Leopard

I upgraded a couple of weeks ago. Mail worked fine until last night. Now I can't send any mail. It just stacks up in my outgoing folder. My mail settings seem to be unchaged. I have several POP accounts, and none of them work.

I don't have a solution, but have been having the same issue. Sometimes, the message goes out, but stays in the outbox.
I did a repair permissions about a week ago and it seemed to work. Now, it's doing it again and the tell tale sign is that you don't get the 'swoosh' sound as the mail goes out. Sometimes I press send and the message immediately goes to outbox with no attempt by mail to send it (as judged by watching activity monitor).
Very troubling because I invoice my clients via email attachment.
I have three mail accounts and all three behave the same way. Never had problems with this same setup in Tiger.

Can't open emails since upgrading to Snow Leopard

Ever since I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard, I have been unable to open emails, new or old. I get the spinning gear and the 'loading' indication. Simultaneously, I get the spinning gear as the mail program attempts to acces my mac account (95% of my emails come through my verizon POP acct.) Any ideas on how to fix this?

Has Spotlight finished its indexing? Check in the upper right. If you get just the search field, it has, if it says its indexing, you have to wait before you can use anything.

Can't send mail since upgrade

Ever since the latest upgrade, I can't send out email from either email account. The error message says "Cannot Send Mail—The sender address was invalid." Never happened before.
What is this and why can't Apple leave something that works alone? Jeez.

I might be able to offer a solution for sending from the Verizon account. Go into Settings>mail,contacts and calendars. Tap on the Verizon account, then tap the outgoing server. In addition to the standard verizon server, there should be an AT&T SMTP server. Tap that server and switch it on. Close out of the settings and try sending your email again. It should then send through the ATT server.

Can't find emails after upgrade to Leopard

I've recently upgraded to Leopard from Panther. Once the upgrade was complete, I started up Mail to check my emails, and was greeted with a message asking me if I wanted to import my old emails. As it was getting late, I declined, figuring I'd do it the next day. On starting up Mail the next day, I didn't get the import message, and Mail started downloading emails from one of my POP servers, which I managed to stop after 4 messages had hit my Inbox.
I've now imported all the old emails from my other POP servers from the folders within each "POP-*username@popserver*" folder in /Library/Mail/, but the folder for the POP server that I had downloaded the 4 emails from now only has those 4 .emlx files in the /INBOX.mbox/Messages folder, rather than the several hundred that would have been in it prior to upgrading.
Is there anything I can do to get them back? Thanks in advance.

Jim:
Larry is correct. Look at the disks that came with the computer with Pacifist to locate, extract and install iPhoto. If you can't find it then contact Apple with your purchase number in hand and tell them you need the software disk for the iLife 08 applications.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Can't Send Mail Since Updating To Leopard

I can get, but can't send mail using Apple mail with my local server running on port 110. Never had a problem with Tiger. Thunderbird works fine. My .mac account also works with both Apple mail and Thunderbird.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
Most likely your local SMTP requires no separate Authentication, but in upgrading to Leopard, the settings have been changed. In Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information, click on the arrows beside the name of the smtp, and choose Edit Servers. Then under the Advanced Tab, check that the Port is 25, and choose Authentication of None, and without any entries for Username or Password. It should now work, but if you have knowledge that the SMTP should somehow be separately authenticated, tell who the provider of this SMTP is?

HT4528 Can't Send Email Since Last Few Updates

My mother and I both have iPhones - she has a 4 and I have a 5. Since the last update on the software, we cannot send Email. We can receive them but cannot send them. Our mail settings are correct - this is not a problem with our Email providers. I use Time Warner and she uses GVTC. I have verified these settings are correct. I see that many people have posted this same issue and can't get it resolved because Apple says it is the Email provider and the Email provider says it is Apple. I know for a fact that it is not my Email provider.
I believe that a bug has been introduced to our phones with the one of the more recent updates that is affecting us to be able to send Email. I was able to turn off my Mom's Wifi at her house and get her Email to send out but only if her Wifi is off and that trick doesn't work on my phone. We shouldn't have to use tricks to get it to work though. Dear Apple - as much as I love my phone - this will force me to switch to a competitor if it doesn't get fixed. PLEASE fix this bug. Please do not tell me it is my Email provider as I use these same settings on my Windows tablet with no issues. Too many people are having this issue for it not to be a problem with the Apple software.

This was the ticket to rid phone of this daunting message/alert “Cannot Send Mail, the connection to the outgoing server "smtp.aol.com" failed.” After spending way to many hours reading through dozens of forums, trying suggestions, I found a fix. I was attempting to set up a fully functioning aol email on a new 5C. It seems (a lot, if not all) email servers, browsers, engines (not sure of correct terminology) have issues with this. Luckily I came upon this solution after trying check your smtp's, delete email account and reload, turn on that deal and switch that one off, restart phone. I was so hopeful with everyone of these only to become more enraged when it didn't work.
THE FIX
access your email provider through safari, etc on phone
log in and send email to someone
a security diagram/code appeared, upon entering, got a happy lil message from aol saying email was operational, something along those lines
went back to apple email icon, crossing fingers, sent a message and it worked!!!!!!!
Hope this works, let the world know if it does,
If I can save one person the misery I went through, I’m all (: (: (: (:

Can't send emails since downloading Maverick

Since I downloaded Maverick last weekend, I can not always send emails. Incoming and outgoing mails for one email account is fine, however for another email account, my outgoing often goes offline, although incoming stays online. If I leave it and go back it normally comes back, but it can be offline for hours and hours throughout the day. I am far from tech savy and this is the first time in 3 years having my Macbook Pro that I have had this problem. Anyone suggestions? Causing big problems for me!!

Check your Outgoing server settings and make sure all the fields are entered even when it says Optional.
Note: your Username is the full e-mail address.
If you're not sure, check your e-mail provider website for the settings.

Can't Burn DVDs Since Upgrading to Leopard

The topic of the post pretty much says what my issue is.
But here are some details.
When I open Disk Utility and attempt to burn to a Memorex 2X DVD-R disc (verified as blank), I ultimately end up with the message "Unable to burn Name-of-Disk-Image. (The Media is not writable.)" This same media was burnable in Tiger. I have attempted to burn multiple DVD-Rs, with similar results.
When I attempt to burn to a DVD-RW disc, I get the error message "Unable to burn Name-of-Disk-Image. (An internal error occurred.)" Also tested with mulitple DVD-RWs.
So, my question is simple: How do I fix this problem?
If more information's needed, I'm willing to provide it.
My upgrade procedure was an Archive and Install, so I'm somewhat leery of using that as a solution - unless it's absolutely the only known way to resolve such an issue.

I don't have a solution, but have been having the same issue. Sometimes, the message goes out, but stays in the outbox.
I did a repair permissions about a week ago and it seemed to work. Now, it's doing it again and the tell tale sign is that you don't get the 'swoosh' sound as the mail goes out.

Can't send emails after upgrade to IOS 7

I have tried every solution posted but nothing seems to work. I am so upset because I have been staying with my terminally ill mother in hospital and I am unable to reply to any emails. Please can somebody help. I have tried resetting the iPad, deleting the mail accounts and reinstating them, and resetting the network. I am not a whiz at computer technology, so would appreciate a solution in layman terms! Thank you.

I found the same solution, resetting network settings. Sure we have to re-input Wi-Fi network passwords, but it's not a big deal. What is a big deal is that this solution is temporary -it works for a day or two and then the problem returns, for both me (iPhone 4, 7.0.2 Verizon) and my wife (iPhone 5, 7.0.2 AT&T). I've just reset my network settings for the 2nd time since installing iOS 7 on launch day and 7.0.2 on it's launch day.
C'mon Apple! A little help here? I really don't want to have to do this every few days.

I can't send email since my phone updated

I am running iOs 6.1 With my most recent update I lose the ability to delete, send, forward etc from my gmail account on my phone. Any suggestions?

There are several threads discussing this issue. I tried many suggested solutions without success until one finally worked and I'm sharing it in every thread.
First, here is my hardware/software situation, if your's is diff, then the fix I found might not work.
iPhone 4 upgraded to iOS 5. IMAP email wouldn't SEND
Fix:
Go into setting>mail>your account>Outgoing mail Server SMTP>Primary Server then turn Server ON and fill in both User Name + Password under Outgoing Mail Server.
It seems that in previous versions of iOS, you didn't need to enter your username and password in the outgoing mail server settings, but in iOS 5, IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
Thanks to worapoj for being the first (i saw) to post this simple fix.

Can't Send Attachments Since Upgrading To Lion

Not in Safari, Not in Firefox . . . What's up?

I discovered that since updating to Lion anybody with Silverlight installed has the same issue. To be more specific you cannot send attachments that have spaces in the title. To get around it Silverlight must be removed.
Now I can send attachments once again since I removed it.

Can't delete Email since upgrade???

Is any one else getting a Message saying "Unable to Move Message. The message could not be moved to the mailbox trash" when you try to delete an email?
Any ideas on fixes???

I don't see the option 'On my iphone' or 'On the server' in the deleted messages page.
it just says remove after: one week, one day, one week, one month.
I have version 2.2.1, the most up-to-date at this time.
I have gone to the following page - settings - mail contacts calendars - 'mail account' - advanced - deleted messages
Is this the right page?
Where is the page you are referring to?

No idea.
Delete the e-mail account and set it up again according to the settings from your email provider.
