Please note that if your client does not support SMTP authentication, you won't be able to send mail through your client using your Gmail address.
Also, if you're having trouble sending mail but you've confirmed that encyrption is active for SMTP in your mail client, try to configure your SMTP server on a different port: 465 or 587.

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.

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.

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

Hi
You need to check with your ISP whether or not the send mail server (SMTP) requires a password. Some do, but many do not. When you know the correct password to send mail, then you need to tell Mail as follows:
Mail menu > Preferences > Accounts > Select the account
Click on the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) combo box, and select Edit SMTP Server List...
In the Account Information tab put the server name
In the Advanced Tab, set up the authentication information from your ISP.
Good luck

Can't send mail when using mobile broadband

Hi
I am getting quite frustrated as I can't send mail when using my mobile broadband modem! I can receive mail, and surf the internet etc, but mail just wont send!(i get the usual cannot send try later/resend options). I thought this might be an issue with my mobile broadband but have recently reinstalled it. When at home on a wireless network I have no such issues.
Any help appreciated

Even though your e-mail service uses the same URL for POP3 and SMTP servers, in the software sense you actually do have separate POP3 and SMTP servers, although they may be hosted on the same machine, or the requests are routed via some "smoke and mirrors" to the right host.
It is not related to my ISP at home, which is Virgin media. My mobile broadband provider is 3. I was thinking it might be that I need to change the port settings in mail when using my mobile modem, but don't know what to change them too(or how to do it!) or configure the modem differently but again not sure what to do there!
Check with the freeparking online help to see if it supports port 587 or some such.
Also try Mail's "Connection Doctor" (under the Window menu) when you're away from home to see if that shows anything useful.
Since you can send e-mail from that SMTP server when you're at home but not when you're using your mobile broadband, I think one of two possibilities is likely: (a) Your mobile broadband provider is blocking your attempts to access the freeparking SMTP server and/or port. (b) The freeparking SMPT server for some reason doesn't like being communicated with via your mobile broadband provider. I'd check with each of them to explore these options.
Does your mobile broadband provider have an SMTP server that you can use instead of the freeparking one?
My modem(Huawei E220) is not particularly Mac friendly as it is, and I believe Mail can be quite sensitive when servers don't respond immediately?
Yes. Mail seems to have a fixed time-out value for server responses.

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 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

Receiving mail fine, but can't send mail

For some reason, my outgoing mail servers are all showing offline. I can receive mail fine. I have my own domain names, and they are all housed on the same host. My boss has one of the same domains and he can send and receive mail fine. I can receive mail, but can't send mail out unless I use my gmail server to send. All my other domains are showing offline on the outgoing. How do I get them back online, and is this a Macmail problem (my boss uses Entourage), or is it a problem with my Qwest DSL? I don't know where to start.
I did call the place where our domains are hosted and all is OK there.
Thanks,
Carole

Problem - Cannot send eMail - pop up box says smtp server needs password - if password used this is not recognised.
Solution - Go to Mail>preferences choose Accounts, select one of the accounts.
Look at 'outgoing mail' server, shows ' smtp.(name of server.com) (offline)' then click on it and choose 'edit smtp server list' - the box will show description - '(name of server)', server name - 'smtpmail.(server name.com)' and in use by account - '(account name)'
press the '-' button and the above details will disappear.
Press '+' button and type in 'smtpmail.(server name).com' in the server name box - if you are prompted to save changes, click 'OK' - this may only happen when changing the first account ..
All should now be OK and you can now check if eMail can be sent..
Open an 'unsent eMail' in the Outbox by double clicking on it and clicking 'send' it should be sent.
