Can't send mail due to exceed limit?

Hi,
I am having some issues with my iPhone 3GS. Recently, whenever I try to send an email from my MobileMe account, I get the following error message:
A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message failed because you exceeded your sending limit.
I know Mobileme has a restriction of 200 messages per day, however I am sending one or two email so this is not the issue. Anyone have any ideas?

More than likely, yes, but since a MobileMe account is accessed as an IMAP account, when accessing the account with an email client you have the option to store messages on the server or locally on the hard drive or device. If your account has been compromised and someone is accessing the account with an email client on their computer, they could choose not to store the sent messages on the server so you wouldn't see them.

  • Can't send mail due to local network IP

    I bought and installed a new Airport Extreme base station, everything's working so far with 2 wireless computers connecting online and an ethernet connection as well. The problem is with sending mail via entourage, the error message is "Entourage cannot find the server. Verify the server information is entered correctly in the Account Settings, and that your DNS settings in the Network pane of System Preferences are correct."
    Those DNS settings show an ip of 10.1.1.2 subnet 255.255.255.0 while a whatsmyipaddress.com search shows an ip of 70.66.xx.xx
    The computer sending the mail is connected directly via ethernet. How do I configure to be able to send my mail?

    Sometimes a system power cycle will get things straightened out.
    If you haven't done this yet, power down everything. Then, power up the modem first and let it run 2-3 minutes, then power up the Extreme for 2-3 minutes, then your computers.
    It's also possible that your ISP detected a change on your account and automatically blocked the outgoing port to prevent spam, etc. Check with your ISP on this.

  • Can't send mail due to "One of the recipient addresses was incorrect" error

    I have my iPhone set up with two mail accounts: my personal Yahoo account and my work e-mail account ([email protected], for example). I can send/receive email fine with my personal account, but for my work account, I cannot send any mail to any email addresses that are not people at my work with the same domain name (I can send to [email protected], but not [email protected]).
    I thought the problem had to be with my settings, but I compared my settings on the iPhone with how I have my work email set up in Thunderbird and even Apple Mail. They're the same! So I'm at a loss. Any ideas?
    Thanks!!

  • Several emails have been sent from an electronic email address that is not mine which disables me from sending mail due to exceeding quota.

    At 3:29 est I received 2 email from a Mark Kemsley titled quotation jrhfexl which I opened. A few minutes later I tried sending an email and an error message showed saying that I had exceeded my quota. However I have only sent 1 email today. I checked my sent folder and I saw several emails sent from an electronic email address that I am unaware of. Has my email been hacked? If so what can I do about this problem?

    Start computer in Safe mode and run scans for virus's, malware etc.
    Then restart computer normally and logon to webmail and change password.
    You will need to update password in Thunderbird if it has been instructed to remember it.
    Contact your ISP or Google etc depends on where the email account is with.
    Tell them your problem of exceeded quota and that someone has been using your email address without your knowledge. They may be able to see if it was from a different IP address from yours and offer more help.

  • Mail can't send mail on home network

    I am trying to help a friend who wants to move from Entourage to Mail. He has a MacBook Pro with 10.6.4 installed and his company uses Exchange 2003. He is moving to Mail due to serious calendar and contact syncing issues through Entourage and his iPhone/iCal/Address Book.
    I have setup his Mail account to use IMAP with the Exchange Server. He can receive mail this way, but he cannot send it. Actually he can only send mail when he is at work on his company's network. I have turned off SSL and authentication is through Username and Password.
    Funny thing is that Entourage can send and receive mail anywhere he has a connection, but Mail cannot. His company's IT department says that the settings I have in place should work.
    How can I further troubleshoot this problem? Is it a server problem? I know 10.6's Mail doesn't support Exchange 2003, but I am not looking for full integration of exchange services.

    You may be SOL as you need an SMTP server to send mail and the IT folks may not have it set up. You need a proper SMTP relay to send the mail, period. It doesn't matter what it's called, though convention usually has it set to smtp.example.com. mail.example.com would more often be the address for IMAP or POP connections.
    Regarding the inability to send mail from an external network, this is the same problem: You still need an SMTP server to send emails. It's just that the SMTP server on the external network is likely different than the corporate SMTP server. What external network is it, and what is the SMTP server they have set up for machines within their network? Note that many networks don't enable outbound SMTP for random clients due to SPAM reasons.

  • Can Not Send Mail- what's going on?

    Can download mail but can not send mail. With parallels on and xp pro I can easily set up outlook to send and receive mail. But no! The great Apple which is supposed to be easy can not send an email with the same settings. So, back to Windows to do what should be easy on a mac. I think that perhaps the new Safari or something messed this up.

    If you'd like to approach the problem as something you don't understand, and also something that can be fixed, then you'll probably be able to set up your email account.
    You say you have emails in the Outbox. I'd move them to another folder you create or delete them. In past experience, emails contain header information that includes mail server information, and sometimes they will never send (especially with Outlook Express), even if you get the account to work. You can try sending them again, once you get the account working.
    Next, you need to make sure that you are sending the emails from a machine that is connected directly to RoadRunner's network. They may not work as a relay if you connect from another ISP. It's a port 25 problem that is common these days.
    Now for the problem. If you are receiving emails properly, then the POP server information is correct. The mail program is designed to set up to some default settings that work with many servers, and during the process it will try to validate the settings you supply. This can take awhile, and can come up with a failure, due to a wrong assumption. Your email program is assuming that the email server requires authentication. This has been a problem with the RoadRunner system for years. Apparently, some windows email clients do not work the same way, go figure. They seem to have their own problems.
    Many people have reported successfully setting up an account with RoadRunner, after first making sure they have the right SMTP server address. It can be different for different parts of the country.
    After the email account is set up, and is failing to work, people go into the Mail/Preferences/Accounts/Account Information/Outgoing Mail SMTP Server - Click on the dropdown button - Choose "Edit Server List" - Advanced - Change Authentication to "None"
    Here is a related thread with stories of success with RoadRunner: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9128382&
    After the changes, I'd quit and relaunch Mail. Not required, but good troubleshooting practice. Since there are no emails in the Outgoing Mailbox, create a short message and try to send.
    I have different problems with different companies for both Mac's and Windows machines. The ISP always blames the OS, especially Leopard and Vista (since they work with more intelligent/advanced (maybe) settings. Besides the Authentication issue that pops up with some servers, there's also the occasional SSL variation and/or login name (sometimes it's the first part of the email address before the @ and sometimes it's the entire email address). Some ISP's block port 25, some do not. All of these settings can vary with each ISP, and can change on a whim (especially the port 25 problem), with working accounts going dark because of security changes at the ISP. Telephone Tech support at the ISP is often unaware of any changes in their system because they are not in the IT loop at the company and some will just go into "idiot" mode when you mention Macintosh. The first level support people are using a script on the phone, and their job is to make you go away...
    I'm afraid the Great Apple, as you referred to them, is not able or hasn't focused on the ability to automatically set up accounts with every ISP. They appear to have made some assumptions that work with most servers. Who know's, next month the settings or assumptions may work, or Apple may update their setup script to make allowances specific to Time Warner, but since this has been a problem for over 3 years, I wouldn't hold my breath.
    Google: leopard mail roadrunner problem = about 96,000 hits of all sorts.
    Google: vista email roadrunner problem = about 1,410,000 hits of all sorts.
    Google: windows xp email roadrunner problem = 243,000 hits of all sorts.
    Looks like Apple's getting it's market share of problems with RoadRunner and Time Warner
    My own local DSL is from a company named Centurytel. They are on their 4th email server setup in the last 5 years, and have finally contracted it out to a 3rd party company to administer. I just tell all of my clients to get a Gmail account and get over it. Let's see, a multi-billion dollar company who's reputation and income is based on service... free with 7GB storage, Webmail, POP and IMAP access, specific support for all major mail programs including Apple Mail, and alternate ports that get around ISP blocking. It seems that once you enable POP or Imap access in the webmail settings menu, Apple Mail and Vista seem to know the proper settings to use.
    I'd setup the free Gmail account that will work with any ISP you use, before you get really attached to an email account with an ISP that could change as often as competitor's marketing allows. Also, my iPhone supports Gmail out of the box

  • Transaction failed: Cannot send mail due to possible abuse

    For the past two days, I have not been able to send mail from one of my Verizon.net sub-accounts using Mozilla Thunderbird. However I can send mail from the Verizon Yahoo webmail website.
    I get this error message:
    An error occurred while sending mail. Transaction failed: Cannot send mail due to possible abuse; please visit http://postmaster.yahoo.com/abuse_smtp.html for more information.
    And when I click on "OK" in the message box, this second error message pops up:
    Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net was lost in the middle of the transaction. Try again or contact your network administrator.
    When I go to http://postmaster.yahoo.com/abuse_smtp.html, there is just a generic Yahoo help page, with nothing specific about this problem.

    The possible abuse is likely a 24 hour hold for accounts suspected of sending Spam. Are you still having issues? Also what ports do you have the incoming/outgoing server set to?

  • Suddenly can't send mail with Comcast.

    Just thought I'd add my experience to the chorus. Use Mail on a G4 PB running latest version of Tiger with Comcast as ISP. Few days ago kept getting the message that port 25 timed out. I questioned Comcast, and got a standard reply to try port 587, which I did, and which works. I can now send mail through port 587.
    Question though: Is this a Comcast problem, or an Apple Mail problem. It seems like it cannot be a coincidence that "can't send mail" seems to be a hot topic all of a sudden, and that it involves various ISP's and platforms. I haven't heard the word "virus" mentioned.

    In my mind, it's a silly attempt by ISPs to limit/cut off SPAM, not that that is a silly idea in and of itself, but changing the Port number isn't going to last very long, add to that not notifying Users/Paying customers before hand is negligent if not criminal!
    The Spammers probably knew and adjusted to the change before the first Customer figured it out.

  • Can't send mail since 10.4.6 update

    Since updating my OS to 10.4.6 I can't send mail. I can receive mail and I can browse online. But mail will not go out. I've verified all the Outgoing Mail Server info SEVERAL times and have had no luck. I've enabled Entourage to handle mail instead of MacMail and it won't work either. Totally stumped.
    Same thing has happened on my iBook G4 laptop by the way. I'm convinced that the update has something to do with this.

    INTERNET CONNECTION LOST
    so... since the 10.4.6 update once my computers fall asleep the connection to my wireless router is lost. (mail seems to be working ok, when i have an internet connection...)
    I have tried multiple things to fix this. Thus far the only solution seems to be resetting the router to use connect back to the internet. Once this is done the internet connection works fine, until lost or the computers go to sleep. When i wake the computer i have to do it all over again... and on top of it the post link is missing on all the pages!!! so i am replying here.
    So this time I have rebooted to my external drive with the previous version (10.4.5) to see if indeed it is the 10.4.6 update that seems to have hosed this connection somehow.
    HELP please, this is terrible annoying. Is anyone else experiencing this?
    thank you.

  • Can't send mail on iOS 5 devices with iCloud

    A long time ago I signed up for a .Mac trial to use that address with iChat. The trial expired, and, as expected, the address continued to work with iChat, though it no longer functioned as an email address. It then came to be my Apple ID. Now, having set that Apple ID up for use with iCloud, my iOS devicess are having trouble sending, and only sending email from my iCloud address. The reason is this: I logged into <username>@mac.com for iCloud (as that's my Apple ID), and everything set up right except the mail address that iOS Mail thinks I have. It thinks the mail address for the iCloud account is <username>@mac.com. When I send mail to <username>@me.com, my iOS devices get it just fine, but when I try to send mail back, it tries to send it from the @mac.com address, and therefore fails as that is not a valid email address.
    I've tried to go into the settings and change the email address that it uses for iCLoud, but with no luck. I see a place to change it, but it is grayed out and won't let me select it and bring up a keyboard to change it.
    Is there any way to tell it that it assumed the wrong email address for my iCloud? Or is there no way to send iCloud email from my iOS devices?
    Thanks in advance!
    P.S. I can send mail via iCloud from the web app and from Apple Mail (OS X Lion), but not from iOS devices because of this glitch. I can also send mail from iOS devices using other email accounts (Gmail, Yahoo).

    I found a work around that works.   Got to Settings...Icloud....account......advanced....outgoing mail server.....
    Add an "other" server.
    Host Name p01-smtp.mail.me.com
    Put in your me.com email address as username and your Apple ID password
    SSL is on
    Authentication is password
    Server port 587
    This worked for me.....I will use this until the bug is fixed.  (you may need to use p02, p03 etc)   Don't make this server your primary.   Leave it in "on" status in the other category.
    Good luck

  • Can't send mail... after 4 months of using it

    I'm stumped... help me out please.
    When i send a mail out, this message pops up, "Error : This Message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered. Sending the message content to the server failed."
    So it's still in my mailbox. But then, it shows up in my gmail account and on my blackberry as a sent mail, but the receiver never gets it. Also, i can still send mail from both my blackberry and gmail.com... just not from Apple Mail.
    What's going on?

    Sometimes an ISP provider blocks one of your incoming
    Mail ports and "won't notify you". ( Why? probably it's their protection software )
    In my case Comcast blocked my Port 25 and my Outgoing kept bouncing.
    Incoming was fine.
    Make sure when you change your Port to 587,
    You also check "ON" the Secure Sockets Layer box right underneath,
    Then change Authentication: to Password
    Then enter your name and password
    and click OK.
    The reps at most of the providers
    are useless and won't tell you
    the second part of the solution.
    It took me 2 days and 4 reps
    at Comcast to find this out
    and 10 hours of trying to
    clean my Mac...
    which they will always
    blame.
    Best of Luck, Tom

  • Receiving mail, but can't send mail with attachments?

    Hello,
    I can't send mails anymore, I have been able to send some without any attachments (i.e. reply doesn't work as it automatically attaches the original text). This started 3 days ago. Also, my mail doesn't seem to recognize powerpoint and word docs., but I a know the people who have send me such files do not have VISTA. When I choose "open with" then it works. So I have 2 problems, one being moe urgent then the other.
    1) can't send mail with attachments
    2) .doc (word), .pps (powerpoint)attachments are not always recognized.
    thank you all!!!

    Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if it then works
