Can't send mail in Mavericks
I can't send emails from Mail on my MacBook Pro now that Mavericks is installed. I have noticed that all the outgoing servers are 'offline' in preferences.
Anybody know the solution?
Yep, same as what works with iPad/iPhone on same network, and worked before. Rebuilt just to make sure.
Funny thing - looks like it will randomly (and very rarely) go through if it had just received an email. I know that my host does check incoming before allowing outgoing. I wonder if how the timing of this changed in Mavericks. Connection Doctor will show green outgoing briefly, then recheck will show an error again.

Can't send mail after mavericks upgrade
MacPro user (mid2010)
I am using a third party email address and am currently with O2 Broadband. Since upgrading to Mavericks, I am unable to send emails using the Mail app.
My outgoing mail server is: relay.o2broadband.co.uk
And I'm using the default ports.
I am aware that O2 Broadband customers are being moved over to Sky but my account is still with O2 right now.
I can send mail just fine on my Laptop which is still running OSX 10.7 so I'm fairly convinced this issue has something to do with Mavericks.
Anyone else suffering the same issues? I'd really appreciate any advice anyone can offer.Before I finally got it working (and I'm not even sure how), I tried PostBox and Airmail and had the exact same outgoing mail problem. So it appears that there is something more fundamental in the OS happening. From a couple of these other threads (and I read them all out of desperation...) it sounds like there's some funky sync thing that has to happen with certain host email configs, and Mavericks doesn't do it perfectly at first. Somehow (yes I'm showing my tech ignorance) some configs require a login to IMAP/POP3 immediately before allowing access to the SMTP to send, presumably in another attempt to block sending spam by third parties. The timing of the dual login has to be tighter in Mavericks? But this aligns with my experience in that an account (I had three that had problems) would receive an email and them boom the SMTP would work. So I tried sending an email from my phone to be received on the problem account and tried to send from that account right at the same time, and somehow it worked. Once it worked, it stayed working. However I still cannot get SSL (port 465) to work - I had to change everything to non-SSL on port 25 or 26. Even though my iPhone and iPad will work...

Using OS Mavericks can't send mail on hotmail?
I can't send mail on hotmail using os x mavericks, why?
I also was having the SMTP (offline) issue for Gmail and Comcast after upgrading to Maverick but not immediately. I read through all the posts. I was not seeing a common thread for a solution so I decided to bite the bullet and call Apple(if it costs, it costs). I set up a call back. They called me in 15 minutes, set up a view of my screen and proceeded to troubleshoot. He started by going to "Window" "connection doctor". Observed the red dots and descriptions as being a username/password issue. Then went to "mail","Preference", account icon and entered the gmail 2-step verification password generated by Gmail and before clicking done (on the Gmail website),clicked on the "SMTP Mail server" box and chose "edit SMTP server list". In the window that appeared also entered the same Gmail generated password there as well. We then tested by going to the "Connection Doctor" getting green dots for both incoming and outgoing Gmail entries. Next test was sending email to myself. It worked. We did the corresponding procedure for the Comcast account. It took 25 minutes and cost nothing. I was surprised at the price since my iMac is 4 years old. I hope this lasts and I don't get really good at this procedure.

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

Can't Send MAIL..... again
hey...
can;t send mail..
10.4.10 on a macbook..
can send mail on my .MAC account, but my MAIL 2.0 is no good. it used to work fine...
i travel for a living, could the different log-on places have something to do with it.?
tried all the fixes on the Apple help site, no avail.
using port 587, removed and re-entered account, internet connection is fine...
want to use MAIL to send pix from my iPhoto's...
also, anyone know how to change the name in my account? somehow the spelling of my name is wrong, and every email i send says from 'blank' and it is wrong. looked at every piece of account info and they are all correct. where is the info for FROM: in an email stored...
cheers..!!!
ianI'm having the same problem. I moved to a different apartment. I think my situation is this; my Mail says home and has my .mac account email address listed. My .mac account says .mac and has my .mac email address listed.
I've tried to change the Mail "home" so it doesn't say ,mac, but I haven't figured out how and when I change the email and server settings it tell me that it is an invalid directory.
So it's a circular puzzle and I can't seem to get out.
Is this your problem too? If not, do you know how to fix this one?

Can't send mail when connected to vpn
I'm hooked up with a private vpn service using OpenVpn. Everything works beautifully -- except that I can't send mail (receiving is no problem) because the SMTP ports offered through Mail 4.5 (ports 25, 465, 587) are blocked by many VPN providers as an anti-spam measure. I can't use port 993 with SSL because I live in Monaco, which has one ISP -- and it does not provide or support secure email (which is one of the reasons I want the VPN).
Is there another port I can select for SMTP, or some configuration tricks I'm missing? Thanks...:)Hello Brian,
Basically this is the VPN group:
crypto isakmp client configuration group open
key (something)
dns 192.168.1.1 8.8.8.8
domain something.com
pool SDM_POOL_1
save-password
backup-gateway 192.168.1.1
max-users 5
netmask 255.255.255.0
banner ^Cyou have connected to the vpn-ings!. well done! ^
I see that you are doing tunnel all, and you are not split tunneling on this configuration, what you can do is to use split tunnel, under this configuration as follow:
ip access-list extended SPLIT_TUNNEL
permit ip XXXXX XXXXX 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255
XXXXX --> are the inside subnets
Then under this:
crypto isakmp client configuration group open
acl SPLIT_TUNNEL
This will allow you to have access to the internal subnets through the tunnel and have access to internet through the internet connection on your computer.
For further details take a look to this document:
- http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/routers/3600-series-multiservice-platforms/91193-rtr-ipsec-internet-connect.html
Don't use Any on your ACL statements for split tunneling purposes.
Let me know how it works out!
Please don't forget to rate and mark as correct the helpful Post!

Can't send mail with server -- upgrade OS?
I have a new MB, so have been setting things up. In the course of all this, I realized, what with checking settings, etc., that I can easily send mail from the new laptop, which is running whatever the latest OS is -- I think that's 15.5.5, but I have nearly constant difficulties with Mail on my desktop, which is running 15.5.2. I keep getting -- but not always -- messages saying mail can't be sent using the selected server; do I want to try another server or try later, or what. But on the laptop -- I don't get that at all.
I did a search on the Apple site and its recommendation? Upgrade the OS. Now, I can certainly do that, though I always hold my breath for fear something will go wrong and I'll break something that wasn't broken, so to speak.
Is anyone else having this issue? Did upgrading the OS stop it? I probably will have to, because I really do need the Mail program to work as it should. I'm getting ready to move to it from Entourage, but I can't if I can't send mail.I suddenly started having the can't send mail problem yesterday, and I'm on 10.5.5, so upgrading the OS is not a fix. I followed all the directions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1307?viewlocale=en_US
and that did not work. But it might, if quitting is done at the right time....
I don't know what fixed it, and I'm not sure if it will remain fixed (last night I fixed it on my own, only to find when I started up this morning that it wasn't working again), but today I followed the advice from another discussion to delete the outgoing server (in prefs/accounts/outgoing pulldown menu) and make a new one... make sure to delete all mail that is pending (anything in outbox save as draft and delete)... and to quit. In other words - follow the instructions on the support page or some of the other discussions, but quit before trying to send again. The other thing I did was do a software upgrade - there was something for airport and a security fix that I installed. Whether it was doing just the right stuff in just the right order or if it was the software installs that moved things along, I can't say. By the looks of it, this seems to be a long time issue for Apple Mail, though I've been using it for years without issue. -

In OS X Mail, choose Preferences from the Mail menu.
Click Accounts in the Preferences window.
Select your iCloud account from the list of accounts.
Click the Account Information tab.
Choose your iCloud account from the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) pop-up menu. Example: “Derrick Parker (iCloud)”.
Note: The Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) menu also includes an Edit SMTP Server List command. If you choose this command, be aware that the iCloud SMTP server won't be among the servers that can be edited. This is normal.
If you're attaching a large file
Message attachments can't exceed the maximum size allowed by your email service provider or the recipient's email service provider. The maximum size varies by service provider. Try compressing the filebefore sending it, or send your message without the attachment to verify that there are no issues with sending.
