Can't send emails whereas I can receive. Any idea why?

Hi,
I can get my mails but can't send any. Mail offers me to try with an other server : smtp.free.fr:tt.hierry for exemple.
I tried the solutions offered in a other thread ; changing port from 25 to 465, but with no success.
I used to be able to send mails with the same parameters, using outlook under OS9. I'm now with OS10.4
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I too am having a Bellsouth send e-mail issue that has cropped up in the past couple of weeks (no changes in settings on my side). Don't know if it has anything to do with Bellsouth's conversion to AT&T or not.
Basically, I can receive e-mail and send newly created, blank e-mail. However, I am unable to send e-mail with attachments or reply to e-mails received or forward e-mails received.
I tried your suggestion of changing the port number to no avail. I confirmed my Preference setups with Bellsouth tech support and they say everything is configured OK. Thinking it might be Apple Mail, I downloaded and used Thunderbird e-mail client, but that exhibits the same problems noted above (similar message about problems with the STMP server or the server is unavailable or is refusing STMP connections. Again, this only happens with certain types of sent e-mails noted above).
I am at a complete loss and don't know what to try next. Any suggestions????

    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.

  • Just moved my email from entourage to Mail. Having real problems with getting my signatures to work properly. When adding in a small company logo, windows computers only receive signature as an attachment. Am sending email as Rich Text. Any ideas on a fix

    Just moved my email from Entourage to Mail. Having real problems with getting my signatures to work properly despite sending email as Rich Text.
    When adding in a small company logo to the signature, PC's / windows computers only receive signature and logo as attachments.
    I've tried all possible fixes I can find including getting a PC user to format the logo but no joy. Has anyone experienced this and any ideas on a fix gratefully received.

    Send it as html so the signature is an image source URL

  • TS3276 I don't receive email from specific senders. Any idea why?

    I do not receive email from specific senders. I have to enter the name of a person I think might have sent me something under Search at the top right, in order to see if they have sent me email. Yet I receive email from most senders. Cannot explain this, finding it very frustrating.

    several possibilities:
    It could be rule, as MrHoffman suggests
    it could be that those senders have been flagged as junk mail by Mail.app on your machine
    It could be that they are flagged as junk mail by your mail server

    Hi, Grandpaintraining.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing issues with mail.  I would also recommend checking with your email provider for security procedures such as two-step verification as this could cause this issue.

  • This morning, for some reason, my yahoo inbox stopped updating and is frozen. I can send a new email but can receive any emails. Help!

    THis morning my yahoo mail stopped updating at 8:32. I turned my iPad off and on nothing. I deleted my email and then load d it again nothing. Looking for other suggestions. But my email works just fine on my iPhone.

    Thank you for the reply! However, I have already tried deleting my Yahoo account and then adding it back. All that served to do was delete everything!

  • HT3228 Can't get my cogeco email to send out on my iphone 4s, any ideas on how to configure it.

    Having trouble configuring my cogeco email on the iphone 4s, any ideas how to do this.

    Sending/receiving or just sending? I was previously able to get a "sending only" problem to work by setting up Rogers (my carrier) as an alternate smtp server [smtp.rogerswirelessdata.com]. It used to work OK but on my new iPhone it no longer works and I have no idea why. It will try to send the email forever and seems to drain the batter given time. Apple tech support was unable to help and Cogeco was less than helpful. I've given up for now and started using Gmail to consolidate all my email accounts.

  • Sometimes can't find a sent email in Lion - any idea why?

    Since upgrading to Lion I sometimes can't find a sent email.
    The pattern seems to be:
    1. It's with a Gmail account.
    2. I think it's when I reply more than once to the same mail.
    I want to look back over the mail and just don't see it anywhere within Mail. I know to whom the email is sent and I try looking for all mail sent to that person (even checking everywhere) and I can't find the very last email I sent.
    If I go into Gmail and look at All Mail I do see the mail there. And the person does receive the mail. It's just not showing up in my sent mail in my Mail app.
    Any idea why this might happen?
    Thanks,
    doug

    Hmm....
    I'm thinking now that maybe it could be cases where I sent the reply from my iPhone Mail app instead of my iMac Mail app...
    The email I was just talking about does show up on my iPhone Mail app, even without going into Gmail.

    Any idea why the "other" continues to increase. I have just got got my mac so no new apps installed yet only been using it for mail and web browsing. I tried the iphoto mail last night and noticed the the "other" section had increased by 1GB which I thought was rather larger. Do you know what this setion actually does ?
    Also do you know if it is possible to delete the iphoto emails.
    All of your 'stuff' that is not Music Movies Apps Backups or Photos is in Other, that means all your emails, all your files etc, why don't you just leave well enough alone, this is not windows and doesn't need tinkering with,

  • My Mac won't read cyrillic in certain files and displays instead weird characters like this: "–í–µ-Ç–µ-Ä –ø-Ä–æ–¥–∏-Ä–∞–µ-Ç –¥–æ –∫–æ-Å-Ç–µ–π." Any ideas why this might be or how I can solve it?

    Yesterday I extracted the subtitles of an MKV file to try and print them. Unfortunately, when I open the .srt file with any text processor, it displays weird characters like the ones included in the title:
    "–û–±—ã–≤–∞—Ç–µ–ª–∏ –ø–µ—á–∞–ª—å–Ω—ã.
    –í–µ—Ç–µ—Ä –ø—Ä–æ–¥–∏—Ä–∞–µ—Ç –¥–æ –∫–æ—Å—Ç–µ–π."
    I thought this had to do with it being an .srt file, but just now I encountered the same problem with an Excel file.
    Any ideas why this might be or suggestions as to how to solve it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mario

    It looks like an encoding problem.  You should try opening the file in a text editor where you can choose one of the various possible cyrillic encodings (utf-8, koi8-r, iso-8859-5, win-1251, MacCyrillic)

    Ask your friend if they use to have an iPhone and used iMessage.  If so, they probably didn't unregister their phone number with iMessage before changing phones and your iPhone is still trying to send iMessages to their number.  If that's the case, they need to contact Apple support and request that their mobile number be unregistered for iMessage.
