Can't send emails in macmail but can receive them for some accounts

I have 3 email accounts through BT. My BTYahoo mail is now receiving and sending through macmail after reading the forum thanks. However my me.com account and 123-reg account (business) won't send as all outgoing servers are offline and no matter what I do they won't change. I have removed the accounts and set them up again to no avail. I have OS 10.8. Any ideas gratefully recieved.

Have you checked the tick box in the advanced outgoing mail setup screen to use SSL? This should use a different TCP port than standard SMTP that many ISPs block unless you are using the ISP servers.

Can't send email from iBook but can from iMac

I have a iMac hardwired to the Internet with Leopard. I also have a Powerbook with Leopard and a iBook with the previous operating system. My hardwired iMac is the only computer that can send email through the my smtp server for work. It is offsite and not supported by me.
I have changed all port settings on the two laptops but no success. I have even synced all of the accounts through .Mac and only the hardwired iMac can send emails. They all are able to received emails.
I am able to select a new smtp server when the Mail program on the laptops tell me it has not been able to connect. I can then send the messages out through gmail, but they come from my Gmail account. This is no good when I am trying to conduct business.
I have also hardwired my iBook to the same network my iMac is connected too (same wire) and the iBook still cannot connect to the selected smtp server (I did turn the airport off).
Any one got any ideas or thoughts?? Can I create a SMTP server on these laptops some how? I was beginning to think it was an Airport communication issue, but after hardwiring the ibook and it still did not work, I am at a loss.

Are you using the Verizon PW or the Google one?
What Port is the Outgoing using?

Did you try using Verizons mail then in OSX's Mail set the Reply to addy as your gMail addy?

Now I can send eMails when traveling - but trouble RECEIVING them!

I posted this question a few weeks ago and got a great reply which works fine - see following:
When I am in a hotel out of town or overseas- or just anywhere where I don't have my home ISP - how can I not only RECEIVE but also SEND eMail via my Mail program?
I know I can go to the www and use my MobileMe account - but it is easier if I can use Mail and also use my POP as well as my MobileMe account. With Eudora I used to set the smtp for send after looking it up (when I could find it) with Reverse DNS - but how / what do I fill-in with Mail to be able to send as well as receive eMails?
REPLY: If your ISP is like mine, it authenticates you for outgoing e-mail by being able to determine that you're accessing the Internet from within their network. If your ISP is so configured, they'll offer the ability to authenticate to their SMTP server with a password. My ISP does not.
However, MobileMe does provide its own authenticating SMTP server that you should be able to use from anywhere. Try an SMTP server of smtp.mac.com (smtp.me.com will probably also work) with settings of "Use default ports", "Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)", and "Authentication" by password, your "User Name" the part of your MobileMe ID before the "at" sign, and your password your MobileMe password.
But now I cannot pull-down my MobileMe eMails directly from Apple's Mail when traveling. I can get my [email protected] (not real address) and I can send via my MobileMe from Mail as instructed above; and I can go to MobileMe and yup, my eMails are there; and I can even get those forwarded to my [email protected] account.
But I always could also RECEIVE my [email protected] eMails directly via my VOO.BE account via Mail - now not. Do I have to have the incoming stmp set differently? At home all works - and until 24 hours ago (36 maybe) - I could receive both - but not now...
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Steve traveling in Kobe, Japan\Sunday 14 February 2010

Hi! Well it is strange as I can receive via my VOO.be account; send via my .Mac account; but here in Japan cannot receive via the .Mac account.
I have 2 accounts set-up in Mail; but 4 outgoing servers; but I think at least 1 and maybe 2 don't / haven't worked...
But my problem is now incoming. With connection Doctor I show now 6 different things 3 with green lights and 3 with red:
[email protected] --- red, can't connect with or without SSL checked
VOO Steve eMail --- green
mail.voo.be -- red, cannot connect
smtp.me.com:myname --- green OK
Schulte VOO --- red
smtp.mail.com -- Green - OK
Again, I think I set-up at least 2 outgoing smtp's that don't work / never worked and that might be confusing this. It was only when I got to Japan that the MobileMe mail wouldn't come into Mail - it goes into MobileMe (cloud) fine - and then I ask it to forward to VOO and that comes in - so I'm thankfully not missing eMails but sure is strange--- Why can't I get MobileMe directly into Mail?
You likely need more information / details to solve this-- going to work here now in 2 hours but will try to solve this before I go back to Belgium on Sat!
Thanks for any comments - suggestions. Oh, yes - when I try to change mail.mac.com to smtp.mac.com for "incoming" - it automatically changes back to mail.mac.com... when I hit save.
If I change to mail.me.com (instead of "mac") will that do anything?

recently changed ISP, now cannot send emails on iPad but can receive them

Make sure that your username and password are set in the outgoing mail servers setting.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

Hi, does anyone know why I cant send email over 3g but can over wi-fi. My provider is ntlworld

Hi, does anyone know why I cant send email over 3g but can over wi-fi. My provider is ntlworld. As soon as I get home and connect to wi-fi the mail sends no problem

We use ntlworld as our home broadband provider and main email address. In my experience ntl doesn't usually allow sending of email except on its own network which is why yours works at home. My iPhone is set up to send my ntl email using my second email account's smtp setting (in my case is is a mac.com account and I haven't found any network this doesn't work on to send email).
So my advice is to get yourself another email account with a different provider like yahoo or google, then use the new provider smtp address to send your ntl email on your iPhone.

Who is your email provider? Have you set up your account manually or was it set up automatically?

Messaging Server cannot send email to gmail but can send email to yahoo

I'm using Messaging server 7.0. My company's domain is {color:#ff0000}*sun-vietnam.com*{color} and the email server name is {color:#ff0000}*mail.sun-vietnam.com*{color}, this name is {color:#ff0000}*registered and resolved*{color} correctly in the DNS server of the ISP.
When using an email account form this domain, I can send email to an email address from {color:#ff0000}*yahoo.com*{color} such as {color:#ff0000}****@yahoo.com*{color} and the {color:#ff0000}****@yahoo.com*{color} account can receives this email immediately.
But when I try to send an email address to an email address from {color:#ff0000}*gmail.com*{color} such as {color:#ff0000}****@gmail.com*{color}, the email succesfully sent without no error notified, however the {color:#ff0000}****@gmail.com*{color} account cannot receives this email although I waited for serveral days.
If anyone know the solution to fix this problem, please help me, thanks all of you very much.

Hi Shane.
I'm so sorry, the administrator in my company didn't provide enough information for me.
Actually, when I sent email to ***@gmail.com, there was a notification sent to me by the system. The error notification is :

Can't send email from my Mac Book Air using my Yahoo account!

I have set up my Yahoo account on my Mac Book Air but I am unable to send mail using Yahoo. The message goes to the outbox on the Mac but is not received by the recipient. It does not go to the sent box in Yahoo. Can anyone help with this please?

Go to mail preferences>accounts, make sure your outgoing server (SMTP) is set to the right network, not none.
