Can't send emails anywhere but from home

Just wondering, using my macbook pro I've noticed that depending on where I am I can ALWAYS receive emails, but often can't send them. I never have this problem at home, is it something with my outgoing mail server not working on other places wifi networks?
My outgoing is mail.charter.net
Just not sure why it wouldn't work everywhere. I'm at the third place today working on different wifi networks, I can surf the web fine, receive emails and such but can't send anything.
Thoughts?
thanks!
Jeff

If you are talking about using the smtp.me.com (or smtp.mac.com) as Outgoing Server, then using Port 587 would be more likely to work at other venues.
This is set in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information by clicking on the arrows beside the name of the SMTP, choosing Edit Server list, and then clicking on the Advanced tab there (different Advanced tab, btw, than you cited earlier). Select Use Custom Port, enter 587 and the Username and Password.
If you are not talking about MobileMe servers (there is no accuracy to citing "mac mail" -- it has no specific meaning.

  • Can't send emails when away from home

    I can send emails from my iphone when I'm at home, but not once I have left the house. I get the 'sending' bar at the bottom, but nothing ever happens. Any ideas?

    When at home connected to your wireless network?
    If so, is the email account provided by your internet service provider at home?
    If yes, most internet service providers don't have an authenticated SMTP server with the email account they provide which is the problem.
    Most, if not all ISPs block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP unless the SMTP server is authenticated, and AT&T is no different in this regard when connected to the internet via their cellular network when sending email.
    AT&T's SMTP server is included as an available SMTP server to select/use for an email account when connected to the internet via their cellular network if an email account does not have an authenticated SMTP server. This should work when connected to AT&T's cellular network but may not work when connected to your wi-fi network at home with your internet service provider being used for your internet connection.
    I access two email accounts with the iPhone's Mail client. Both accounts have an authenticated SMTP server and I've never had any problems sending with either account regardless the internet service provider being used for my internet connection at the time.

  • Can I send email using Java from my localhost(Tomcat) with Internet connect

    Hi friends,
    Please tell me can I send email from my localhost (Tomcat) using Java when my computer is connected to Internet?
    I don't have any SMTP username or password or the like, as I found in some codes available in net.
    Please suggest and any simple code if possible.
    Please don't send me the link of JavaMail API to read.
    ---Sujoy

    Thank you for the link. Though I have not tested the provided code, I will test it.

  • Can't send emails after migration from Vista PC to W7 PC. Tried Mozbackup and Windows Easy Transfer. Settings have transferred ok, it just won't send emails.

    I recently migrated my Tbird from a Vista PC to a W7 PC using Mozbackup. Transfer was fine with all the settings transferred apparently correctly. But now I can receive emails but not send them. Sent emails show in 'Sent Items' but are not received the other end. Also tried the migration using the Beta 1 version of Mozbackup and also Windows Easy Transfer with the same result. IMAP and POP3 accounts are both affected. Neither can send emails. I get no error messages nor any bounceback.
    Found on one forum that AVG can block outgoing emails so altered the AVG settings which seemed to solve the problem. The next morning the problem was back. I uninstalled AVG completely but it made no difference. I do have MicroSoft Sec Essentials but the problem was there before that was installed.
    Using the BT Home Hub 5 on BT Infinity broadband. It can't be the router though as the old PC was sending emails fine. Although I did have the suspect AVG settings, removing it has not solved the problem.
    The outgoing email settings seem to be fine. Any thoughts?

  • Can't send mail when away from home

    10.5.2
    I can't get my MacBook Pro to send email when I'm away from home but the connection doctor says it is connected to all of the smtp servers in my mail accounts.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Most, if not all ISPs, block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP being used for your internet connection) on Port 25. Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only that is outside of their network, but some block all available ports that can be used with an SMTP server that is outside of their network.
    These restrictions are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
    Earthlink has an authenticated SMTP server, as does a .Mac account, so you should be able to send messages with your Earthlink and .Mac accounts when connected to different ISPs. If not and you are using 25 for the SMTP server port for these SMTP servers, try using 587 for the SMTP server port instead for each.
    You can only use the .Mac authenticated SMTP server to send messages with a .Mac account, but it should be possible to use Earthlink's authenticated SMTP server to send messages with any account.
    If the ISP you are using for your internet connection is very restrictive in this regard, there isn't much you can do except for contacting the ISP being used for their requirement when using an SMTP server that is outside of their network, or send via webmail access for the account using a browser.

  • Can't send email when not at home

    Hi there!
    I can send and receive email fine when I am at home, but now I am away from my home I can download my email but not send anything. My settings all appear to be correct (no changes made since I left home) so I am wondering why this is.

    As Andrew says, your ISP may be blocking the SMTP to prevent spam. However, you may be able to send Mail using another port. My ISP blocks SMTP on the default port (port 25 I think is default) but if you set the port to 587 it works.
    So, check you ISP's help. You may be able to set SMTP to use a different port and get your mail to send

  • Z10 can't send email with ActiveSync from work Outlook webmail

    First off, love my Z10. It was able to connect to my work's Outlook webmail with no problem. I am able to get calendar and work emails.
    HOWEVER, I can't seem to be able to send email through my work account. When sending an email, I keep getting this red wrong way icon with the message:
    Message Status: Acknowledgement for send was not received from Server.
    What's wrong?
    I checked through my Outlook web account and it shows my phone within Mobile Phone Details:
    Access state: Access Granted
    Policy applied: Default - Applied in full
    ActiveSync version: 14.0
    Is there something I need to ask my IT staff for?
    Thanks.

    It appears as if your email is running on Exchange 2010, and if so then you can troubleshoot this issue yourself to see if your phone is even talking to your ActiveSync server when it is trying to send the emails. If something doesn't jump out at you during this process, this information should help your IT folks in troubleshooting the effort.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mstehle/archive/2013/04/29/howto-visual-guide-to-turn-on-exchange-activesync...
    You can also test the full functionality of ActiveSync on your account by using Microsoft's following testing tool, which should point out any major issues:
    https://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com/
    In regards to your question about what to ask your IT staff for, as an Exchange engineer myself I don't think there is anything on the server side that would let you connect and download email but not send it. So I would want to see the logs mentioned above to see what was going on with the device to server connectivity, in conjunction to the error message you already grabbed.
    There are some random "fixes" on the Internet such as this one which would be a server side configuration change, but again the more information you can supply your IT folks the better:

  • Can't send email over EDGE from hosted gmail domain. Works fine over WIFI

    I'm trying to send email from my google apps hosted doman over EDGE network.
    I'm using port 587, SSL, authentication: password.
    Works fine over WIFI but edge network rejects it every time.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Ben

    I'm running into the exact same issue. However, I am running my own mail server and not going through Gmail. On wi-fi, everything works fine. On Edge, I receive the error message indicating that the server is not responding, unable to connect to server, etc. I spoke to Apple support and they just walked me through the settings and said that they did not know what was wrong and suspected there is something wrong with the phone and wanted me to take it to the retail store to have them look at it and possibly send it in for repair. When I spoke to ATT they said that they are not experiencing any disruptions in the Edge network and that they also suspect it is the phone. I personally do not believe it is a defective phone. I upgraded my phone a couple of days ago the 1.1.2 firmware and within 24 hours later I started having this problem. I also tried setting up a connection to my .mac account and experienced the exact same thing there, so I know it is not isolated to my mail server. Funny thing is, I can access the internet over the Edge network just fine, so this has something to do with either the mail ports being blocked somehow within the Edge network or has to do something with the Mail Application on the iPhone which is not recognizing or not able to connect through the establised Edge connection. Maybe there is some sort of firewall on the iPhone that is blocking those ports? If anyone from Apple or ATT is listening, please investigate! I do not want to mail my phone in for repair when it is a perfectly good phone and may be able to be fixed with another firmware update.

  • Send email to phone from home computer

    How do I send an email from my home computer to a phone?

    Open up your email account and go to compose/write a message. In the TO spot enter in [email protected] (Just where it says 10digitcellnumber enter in your 10 digit cell number, area code + number).  After that just write what you want to say and send.  The email should be sent to the verizon phone. It should land in their text inbox.
    Here are other cell providers email address in case you are interested:

  • I can't send email containing pictures from iPhoto on my computer since using iCloud. with iCloud.  How can I send them now that iCloud doesn't work with iPhoto?

    I can't email pictures on my computer from my iphoto since using icloud.

    Try www.apple.com/support/ and then put /icloud /iphoto /mail and tech articles in those, and links to their respective Community Discussion.
    Mail support has a wizard to test your settings too.
    Not sure what error or why you can't, maybe iCloud forum has better chance.

  • Can't send email with photo from iPhoto

    Hi I am trying to share a photo/email from iphoto and I get this error message
    The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination
    I am assuming this is because I changed my password on icloud but it is working on mail... how to I update it on iphoto? thanks Gail

    If you're using iPhoto on your Mac go into the iPhoto/General preference pane and change the email client from iPhoto to Mail.  Then you'll be able to email normally. 
    If you are referring to iPhoto on your Mac then post in the iLife/iPhoto community in the future.
