Can't send mail since 4/2/08 Quicktime update

Don't know if it's coincidence or not - but since I updated my Macbook this morning, the "Send" button in mail is continuously grayed out. I sent mail last night, so it was OK before applying the update.
Everything else seems to work OK.
Ideas on why I can't send mail now?

Ok - this is a weird one. Looks like something zapped my Gmail SMTP account, and defaulted to "none" for SMTP.
Had to completely build my Gmail SMTP settings again.

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.
PowerBook G4 and PowerPC dual G5 (10.4.6 both) Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Can't Send Mail Since Updating To Leopard

I can get, but can't send mail using Apple mail with my local server running on port 110. Never had a problem with Tiger. Thunderbird works fine. My .mac account also works with both Apple mail and Thunderbird.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
Most likely your local SMTP requires no separate Authentication, but in upgrading to Leopard, the settings have been changed. In Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information, click on the arrows beside the name of the smtp, and choose Edit Servers. Then under the Advanced Tab, check that the Port is 25, and choose Authentication of None, and without any entries for Username or Password. It should now work, but if you have knowledge that the SMTP should somehow be separately authenticated, tell who the provider of this SMTP is?

Can't send mail since upgrade

Ever since the latest upgrade, I can't send out email from either email account. The error message says "Cannot Send Mail—The sender address was invalid." Never happened before.
What is this and why can't Apple leave something that works alone? Jeez.

I might be able to offer a solution for sending from the Verizon account. Go into Settings>mail,contacts and calendars. Tap on the Verizon account, then tap the outgoing server. In addition to the standard verizon server, there should be an AT&T SMTP server. Tap that server and switch it on. Close out of the settings and try sending your email again. It should then send through the ATT server.

Can't send mail since password change

Yesterday I changed my yahoo password and now I can receive emails on my itouch but I can't send them - it says the username or password is incorrect. I know they are both correct.
I've tried going through settings but when I touch Outgoing Mail Server, then Primary Server, I can't change anything on the screen because it's greyed out.
Any suggestions in simple terms please because I'm definitely no techy, would be gratefully appreciated!

Hi Lizzie have you tried deleting your email mail account on your itouch and then resyncing with your main computer.
On your itouch go to:
settings
mail, contacts & calendar
click on email address that is synced with itouch (underneath Accounts)
then scroll down and at the bottom of this page on a red banner it says 'Delete Account'
You could then resync your itouch using the method described in my earlier post (through the info tab on your summary page)
Good luck this worked for me when I couldn't remember my password to set up email directly on the itouch

Can't send mail since the ios 4 update.

Since the update I have not been able to send mail from my iphone. (That is excluding my mobil me account which seems to be unaffected.) It keeps saying I need a password and to go to account settings to add an outgoing password. Of course, when I go to settings there is no where to enter an outgoing password for the accounts. Help!

I am the same since since upgrading to iOS4. My account details are there, passwords included, but my hotmail and btinternet mail accounts will not send emails - says No Password Provided for the account. Very frustrating. My mobileMe accout works fine....

I can't send mail since updating Mavericks

Window ▹ Connection Doctor
Click the Show Detail button. A drawer opens. Try to send a message and post the text that appears. Anonymize any personal information before posting.

Can't send Mail since internet connection via USB key

I now access internet via a USB key and although I receive mail as normal into my Mac 'Mail' from my email account when on line, all mail I now try to send sits in the outbox with the following error message:
This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
5.7.1 service refused. Client host 80.10.46.95 blocked for spamming issues. Adresse IP source
80.10.46.95 bloquee pour incident de spam. Ref http://r.orange.fr/r/Oassistance_adresserejetee .
I presume since changing my way of connecting to the internet it has thrown up some server problem and I need to change something in my preferences on Mail...but what?
Any help would be appreciated as it's driving me mad!
Many thanks.

My MacBook Pro can't send mail since Yosemite upgrade. I keep getting a message that the certificate is invalid, and it says that my account is "offline." This never happened before, very upset.

I upgraded to Yosemite yesterday afternoon on my MacBook Pro. It was an upgrade from the most recent Maverick version. I had already sent out several emails that day, but once the installation was complete, I couldn't send any mail at all. I kept getting this strange dialogue box that said the certificate for the server was invalid, and might be something "pretending" to be my server. It also keeps telling me that my email account is offline. The only account it shows as active is a Verizon POP account, but that doesn't work. I've tried using the Edit functions and the "doctor" functions, but they seem useless. I tried Help, but the instructions it gave included onscreen items I don't seem to have. This is awful, I've already missed deadlines and am desperate.

I have the same issue. My computer has also slowed down. I hope this isn't a malware. I haven't input my password into it, and dont know what I did to turn this on.
Hope someone else can give some insight

Hello,
Certain Thunderbird problems can be solved by peforming a ''Clean Reinstall''. This means you remove Thunderbird's Program Files then reinstall Thunderbird. Please follow these steps:
#Download the latest version of Thunderbird from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download is complete, close all Thunderbird windows (Click Exit/Quit from the menu button on the right).
#*'''Windows:'''
#** C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\
#** C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Thunderbird from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Thunderbird with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Thunderbird on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ Thunderbird Download Page], simply remove the folder ''thunderbird'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Thunderbird:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to open Thunderbird after clicking the Finish button.
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Thunderbird's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Thunderbird data, including but not limited to, extensions,emails, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

HELP! my mail account can't send emails since yesterday!!!

I haven't changed any settings, but all at sudden all my devices can't send mail.
Web-based iCloud service works well.
Any ideas?

Check your Outgoing server settings and make sure all the fields are entered even when it says Optional.
Note: your Username is the full e-mail address.
If you're not sure, check your e-mail provider website for the settings.

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 - server properly configured and up

I'm unable to send mail. Here's roughly the sequence of events that
got me where I am:
1) Connect through a firewall using VPN (the Cisco VPN client)
over the wireless interface
2) Compose a message, and click 'Send'
3) The server is down, so I get the "Can't send e-mail" pop-up
dialog
4) Click 'Try later'
5) Reconnect later while the server is up, and try to send
6) Still see the "Can't send" pop-up
Steps 3) and 4) happened a lot. In particular, turning on the
wireless interface in order to connect over VPN causes Mail to try
(and fail) to connect to the server.
The server is up; I can reach it with "telnet <server> 25".
Moreover, Mail's own "Connection Doctor" says it's able to connect
to the server.
This configuration worked until the sequence of events described above,
and nothing on the server side has changed since.
I've tried everything I can think of to get Mail back in a working state.
Notably I've deleted the contents of "Outbox", quit Mail, and then restarted.
I've also deleted and re-created the server configuration, without success.

Two additional data points:
1) I found a mail server I could use from outside the firewall.
When I added that server, and closed the VPN session, Mail was
(finally!) able to send. (But see below why you shouldn't rush
to blame VPN).
2) When there are two mail servers configured in preferences, the
"Can't send mail" pop-up gives you the list of choices. If you
select an alternate server from the list, the "Try selected
server" button ought to try the new server. Instead, the
pop-up reappears, still complaining about the old server.
As for why I'm not prepared to blame (only) the VPN:
* Note that the server is perfectly accessible; telnet works,
and Mail's Connection Doctor says the server is up.
* Point 2) above indicates some problem in Mail with the logic
for retrying access to the failed server.

Can't send mail to myself

Hope someone can help me. I am running an OSX 10.4.8 Xserve
My clients can't send mail to themselves. No matter what email client they use, mail sent to themselves shows up in the sent items but not in the inbox! Using webmail is similar in that after its sent it will not show up in the inbox until you check sent mail and then the inbox. All other aspects work fine. This machine had the same problem when it was running 10.3
Any idea's would be much appreciated
Cheers

If you enter "postconf -n" in the Terminal.app, you will get a list of the configuration parameters specific for your server. Posting this to the forum allows other people to more easily diagnose what the problem is. Without this, there is no real place to start since your problem does not match any of the 'frequently asked questions' that appear.
However... Check the mail.log when someone on the LAN sends an email to themselves. You should see, in the mail.log, the client connecting to the server and then the progress through the server - any problem on the server should be evident from the same log (SMTP log set to Information).
