Can't send in Apple Mail with .Mac - authentication problem

I use Entourage on my laptop for my business account and Apple Mail on my laptop for my .mac account. Sometimes when I travel and am using hotel and Tmobile wireless hotspots, I have to turn off password authentication for my SMTP server in order to send mail. This works like a champ in Entourage, but when I try to turn off password authentication in Mail for my .Mac account, it automatically still tries to authenticate! This results in me not being able to send .Mac mail. I tested this in Entorage on my .Mac account, turned off authentication for smtp.mac.com and it works, so this is definitely an Apple Mail problem specific to .Mac. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix? I have tried to create a new smtp.mac.com account in Apple mail that does not authenticate, but somehow it changes into an smtp account with password authentication. Help.

I've been sending ".doc" files from both Mail and Entourage for some time without a problem.
Having said that, is there a chance that your Internet Service Provider is somehow blocking some file types?
I've recently come across a cpouple of European internet providers who do block executables and key file types that are known to cause problems or that might contain viruses/trojans.

I can't log into apple mail with out it asking me for a password.

I can't log into apple mail with out it asking me for a password. It never used to do this. What can I do to be able to send a email without having to type in a password?

Hey it4daddy73,
What mail provider are you currently using (Gmail, iCloud, Yahoo?).
Open up safari and go to that providers website and log into your email.
If you get in than open the mail app and click on mail on the top of the screen, then go down to preferences, click on the accounts tab, and type your password. Close the window and it will save.
If this doesn't work I would even try deleting the account by going into mail/preferences/accounts and clicking the - button in the bottom left corner. Than re add and configure the account by pressing the + button.
Hope this works, and good luck.

Can I send an E-Mail with photo (not as an attachment)?

I would like to send an E-Mail with a small photo (not as an attachment) to someone who is reluctant to open attachments. Can I do this and how??
Thank you
tch

If you insert an image into the body, it will still be 'attached', even though it won't be listed as an attachment in the usual way. Another option is to upload the photo to your personal storage space such as OneDrive or Google Drive, and then email the link to the image. The image can then be displayed in a web browser. If you don't have a storage space, there are plenty of free image-hosting services.

Can't use my apple displays with Mac mini

Hey everyone,
I've got a pretty strange problem, and I'm hoping you guys know of a solution to this.
Thing is, I can't use any apple displays with my Mac mini box. Whenever I try to do so I can see that the monitors are turned on, but the screen is completely black (doesn't flicker or anything like that). I know for a fact that both of the apple monitors I tried work.
However, monitors from other manufacturers work just fine! This has got me baffled, what is it about apple monitors that's got my Mac so confused ?

It's possible the analog VGA is working on your mini whereas the DVI digital output is broken. They are two completely different interfaces that just happen to share a common connector on the mini.
Can you possibly get your hands on another, non-Apple monitor that has a DVI input? I would say if all three are not working (two Apple monitors and a third-party one), then definitely something is up with the mini's DVI output.

Intermittently can't send from Apple Mail on my Gmail account

Since buying my new MacBook Pro and migrating from Entourage, Apple Mail is proving very temperamental. I can receive mail OK, but sometimes, at random, outgoing emails just sit in the Outbox. On opening the Activity window, all I can see is Sending Message; 'connecting to server 'smtp.gmail.com' just endlessly scrubbing away. And yet sometimes, mail goes out fine. Never had this problem with Entourage. Any ideas how to rectify this problem?

It is more likely to be due to something related to the ISP at your home venue. Do you have an email account set up that they would provide and sending with the SMTP they provide?
Another thing to check is whether you are always connected to your own router, and not that of a neighbor sometimes? Can you connect your MacBook via cable to see if it works reliably in that mode? The randomness of the behavior is important, I think.

Apple mail with Office 365 problem

Ever since upgrading to Yosemite, my Apple Mail runs super slow. I use Office 365 / Exchange. It brings in headers, but the contents sometimes takes up to 2-10 minutes to load. Sometimes I will delete an email and it takes a few mins to disappear. Look below and you'll see the 1st 2 emails have been in my inbox for 8 minutes now, but still no content. the other 2 that are older finally got content. This has never happened before and seriously slowing me down at work cause I have to wait until content loads to see what the email says. This is not good!!

I Found a workaround. Please look at this other link: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6615135

Can't send emails from Mail with microsoft word attachments

Ok, this is a weird one. About a month ago I realized that people weren't receiving my emails sent from Mail when I attached Microsoft Word documents to them. I can attach anything else, but the second I throw in a .doc, the email simply won't be received. It will send perfectly fine, without any errors or signs of problems. Ever heard of that before? Any ideas?

I use FIREFOX as my browser. I use AOL as my e-mail. I can not send an e-mail with an attachment.

as the e-mail tries to send , after a couple of minutes a box pops up( we have encountered a technical issue please try again)

I have the same issue and I'm trying to access the link provided for the AOL Community Support. I was able to type my question, but it keeps asking me to provide my date of birth, gender, and my name (for verification purposes). After filling out that little box multiple times, my question has still not been posted to the forum. Also, I was able to use Google Chrome to send email attachments through AOL with no problems.

Can't send an e-mail with a distribution list, message read "invalid address(es)", how can i find out which address is invalid?

this is a new distribution list so the addresses should be current

Make sure the user name contains a valid ''@'' symbol and a domain like gmail.com
For example ''[email protected]'' or
''[email protected]''

Cannot send mail with .mac

I can receive mail with .mac account, but not send mail. I can send and receive mail using another account. Has something changed with .mac?

This issue is most probably related to your Internet Service Provider.
Several Internet Service Providers are blocking the use of smtp servers (like smtp.mac.com) by their customer for secury purpose allowing only their own smtp server.
First, you should check with your ISP if he his blocking smtp servers. If he do, just use the smtp server of your ISP. That's what I need to do from my home.

I can't send emails from Mail. I have three different accounts set up and have the same problem with all. The mail just sits in my outbox. All worked fine until Yosemite upgrade. Recent update has not fixed problem.

Hi Jaime,
Are you saying, you are getting junk characters in the email attachment? Then pls check the following. Since you want to send Japanese fonts, please pass language 'J' in both objpack-obj_langu = '3' & doc_chng-obj_langu = '3' instead of '3' please replace it with 'J'.
Another thing which you may have to check is the SCOT device type. As I understand from my basis colleague, this may also affect your attachment fonts since the emails are sent through SCOT. Go to transaction SCOT-> Settings-> Device types for format conversion. Check whether wrong device type is defined for Japanese there. Hope this helps

Gokul

Why I can't send any e-mail messages with 6230i?

Hi mates,
I have a Nokia 6230i with a Vodafone Italian sim card in it.
I know for sure that I CAN retrieve messages form my incoming POP3 e-mail server but I can't send any e-mail messages with it.
Any time I try to do that it prompts me an information balloon saying: message failed. Why??
I mean, I properly set up my phone with all Vodafone details but it still does not seem to work.
Any help will be appreciate
Stefano.
P.S.
I can even send and receive MMS and of course SMS too
Solved!
Go to Solution.

thanks mate for your reply
When you say: "Make sure your SP allows sending e-mail"
Do you mean the provider who give me the mail service?
Because I know for sure that with MS Outlook express I can send and recive e-mail with it
Bye,
Stefano.
