Can't send mail with mail app.

Hi everyone
When i click "send" the message goes to the draft folder and it stays there. If i try "reply" nothing happens. And with "forward" a new window pops up but i can't send it anyway. It's not a network problem. When i try to write a message the cursor acts a little crazy each time i press the space key, it goes back before the letters appear. Sometimes the most extraordinary thing happens: the words appear in reverse like this (siht ekil esrever)...
And just a minute ago the same happened when i tried to write this post using Safari Now i'm using firefox.
What's happening here!!?? Is there a solution for this?
Some 2 years ago I couldn't send any messages and somebody told me this:
Resetting Launch Services
In associating documents with applications, Finder™ employs Launch Services.
Reset Launch Services under Tiger
1. Quit all running applications.
2.
Trash the following two files in the Macintosh HD > Library > Caches folder:
* com.apple.LaunchServices-0140.csstore
* com.apple.LaunchServices-014nnn.csstore
where nnn is the uid number, as listed in the NetInfo database, of the affected account. Type your Admin password if prompted to authenticate the deletion of these files. See Notes [1] and [2].
3. Restart your Mac.
4. Log in to the affected account.
5. Empty the Trash.
6.
Verify that the problem is solved. If not:
1. Trash the com.apple.LaunchServices.plist file in the Home > Library > Preferences folder of the affected account. See Note [3].
2. Repeat steps 1-5.
At the time it solved the problem, should i do it again?
Cheers
Paulo

Hi Paulo, and a warm welcome to the forums!
It sounds like you have a more serious problem.
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

I can't send messages with mail 6.0 of mountain lion, because I can't desactivate the option SSL (Secure sockets Layers); it is locked

Hi, i am having the same problem. this is what i have noticed.
I have 2 x imac's and 2 x macbook air's
i upgraded the 2 macbook air's and 1 of the imac's to Mountain Lion, all these have problems acessing sites that require you to login .
the one remaining imac is still running lion and works perfect.
i am using a dlink router with DD-WRT firmware, i tested teathering from my iphone and i can log into websites fine using the newly upgraded mac's.
It's not a wireless issue as my imac is using an ethernet connection.
is there a compatibility issue with some routers.

I can't send attachments with MAIL

Please help me. Since I have installed Leopard, I have problems to send attachments by mail. People to whom I send, they don't receive them.
Does anybody have any idea about to solve this trouble?
Andrea from Italy

so you look in your Sent folder and the email with attachment is shown as sent, and you do not receive an error message on your computer.
then i would say it is purely a recipient error, and i am not sure how we can help on these pages not knowing what system they use or if on the web. do you have a friend to whom you can send an attachment that also uses a mac by any chance? does he/she receive the attachment fine, or no attachment either?
hope this helps

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.

Who is your email provider? Have you set up your account manually or was it set up automatically?

I'm not able to send emails with mail.ru. Receiving and reading is not a problem. When I create a email with mail.ru its not possible to send it although its stored in my mail.ru account as "still to be send". What can it be??

I'm not able to send emails with mail.ru. Receiving is not a problem. Creating a mail is also not a problem and the mail will be stored at mail.ru as still to be send, only problem is its not possible to send. I noticed the buttons for sending change colour when used but they don't perform. What it is?

Don't know what changed, but all of a sudden able to send emails by mail.ru ...... sorry for bothering.

Can't send mail with Mail application

Hi everyone,
First, let me appologize if I'm not very understandable, because I'm French.
Here is my issue : I just bought a MacBook Air, and I'd like to use Mail, but I can't send my e-mail, I can only receive it. I'm using Live, so I configured Mail like this :
Please help me, I'm hopeless.
Thank you.

On the second screen, try "587" for the SMTP port instead.

Can't send pictures through Mail!

I can send, receive emails, but I can't send emails with pics attached. Tried resizing the pics to smaller sizes, but no affect. I have sbc global yahoo and I've put smtp.att.yahoo.com as the output server for the 3 email accounts I've tethered (gmail, aol, uci webmail). I've set the settings according to what their help sites suggested but I've found no reason why I can't send any pictures. I can send pictures by going to the sites, logging in, and sending it there, but not through Apple Mail.

I have not used entourage for a long time. You should be able to attach files: images or documents should be no problem. Why try to send images from iPhoto? Just size them, and use whatever. I am sure you can import or export your address books between the two programs, or even from an older computer! Whatever is your ctive email program, you are going to receive photo attachments when someone sends on to you.
You can put whatever application icon in the dock that you want. My Office X would not install; I bought 2004, and did the default install and entourage is in the dock. I can remove it and bring it back as I chose to. I do have most of my 3rd party apps in the dock, for my convenience.
Whatever you choose to not use, just remove from dock; when you do, you are not deleting it from computer; it's still in your applications folder.
When in the finder, try going to the help menu.

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.

Unable to send pictures with mail from iPhoto

Since yesterday i cannot use iPhoto to send pictures with mail, it just does not open a new mesage in mail. can you help me please? have done cleaning tasks and repeired permissions already. thank you.

Does anything happen?
Have you deleted the iPhoto Preference file - A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help

I can't send emails via mail. I can receive but not send. I have set up gmail on mail. Any ideas? No problems with the set up previously to this.

Go to Mail Preferences- Accounts and confirm you are providing Gmail what they require to send and receive mail. And DON'T specify Secure Socket Layer. Some mail accts don't like SSL
Good Luck to you.

I have lost my sent box and can't send any e.mails

I can't send any e.mails out It would appear that I have lost everything to do with my sent box

Hi mummyh66xx,
What is your email provider? Is it Yahoo!, Gmail, Hotmail, MSN, or possibly another provider?
If your emails have disappeared from your Sent folder, it's likely that it's related to your email provider, regardless of the browser you are using to navigate.
We suggest you contact the Support team of the email provider you are using, so that they can further investigate the issue and possibly recover your lost emails.
Best of luck! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Thanks!!
- Ralph
