Can't send mail with POP gmail account

Suddenly, when I try to send mail I get this pop-up message:
Enter Password for Account
"smtp.gmail.com:kpellingson"
Please enter the password for user "kpellingson" on SMTP server "smtp.gmail.com"
If I enter my password, I get the same window, over and over.
If I go to gmail's web based mail, my password is accepted and I can send mail, so I know I'm not entering it wrong.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Karen

OK,
So I'm not crazy.
I agree, I didn't need the "@gmail.com" before. However, when I added it, gmail would accept my password and I could send mail again.
Thinking about this, when I added the "@gmail.com", I had to save the SMTP server settings, hmm..., maybe that old file was corrupted and the new one that I added wasn't... That may be what fixed the problem...just speculation.
Anyway, it's working for me now...Have you tried adding the "@gmail" bit and saving a new SMTP setting? Maybe that will work for you, too.
Good Luck,
Karen

  • Mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select

    mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select:
    i'm using mail on osx 10.7 with multiple gmail accounts. when i create an email, i check to be sure i'm sending/replying from the correct account. after i send it, somehow it actually sends it from a different account, other than the one i've selected "from." this is evidenced by the reply email i receive. how can i fix this?
    in preferences, i have "send new messages from : account of selected mailbox"

    From the Mail menu bar, select
              Mail ▹ Preferences...
    The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Composing tab from the row of icons at the top. From the menu labeled
              Send new messages from:
    choose
              Account of selected mailbox
    Note that this setting may have no effect if you start a new message while a VIP or smart mailbox is selected in the mailbox list. Those are saved searches, not actual mailboxes.
    If the problem remains, select the Accounts tab in the preference dialog, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
    In the Account Information pane, select the correct server in the menu labeled
              Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
    If there's only one server in the menu, select
              Edit SMTP Server List...
    and add a new server with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.
    Another possibility is that the wrong card in your address book is selected as yours. Select your card in the Contacts application. Then select
              Card ▹ Make This My Card
    from the menu bar.

    Greetings,
    Questions:
    1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
    2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
    3. Do you use MobileMe/ iCloud or another server based sync solution like Google or Yahoo?
    4. Do other changes to synced information like Address Book content sync successfully back and forth?
    Based on your description it sounds like you have a 1 way sync issue.  Events sync fine between the iOS devices and fine from the computer to the iOS devices but not from the iOS devices to the computer.
    Try:
    Backup your computer and iOS devices before doing anything else:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Ensure all the devices in use are fully up to date: Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update
    Make separate backups of critical data:
    Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
    Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966
    Reset syncing on your Mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    Reply back if that does not resolve your issue.
    Hope that helps.

  • Can't send mail with IMAP

    Hi,
    I have two different IMAP accounts, and I can't send mail with either of them. I receive it just fine, but can't send. One of them just switched to ESMTP (I'm not entirely sure what that means), and said that many mail programs are not yet compatible with it. I know that both accounts can send, as I can send from them on the web.
    I have tried switching from port 25 to port 587, with no luck. Regardless of what I do, the program displays a window saying, "Sending the message content to the server failed." I haven't been able to send for a little over a week now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Tonight I have been suddenly unable to send e-mail from my mac.com address.
    The problem is the same whether I try to send from my G4 laptop running OS 10.4, or my eMac running OS 10.3.9 , or from .mac web mail.
    The alert I am receiving says: "The sender address [email protected] was rejected by the server."
    I am using the SMTP outgoing mail server, not POP.
    I can still receive e-mail with no difficulty.
    I have changed no settings.
    What's up?

  • 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 with AOL address-out of ideas

    hello,
    I can recieve mail just fine. It's only when I try to send it. I've tried changing the outgoing server to smtp.aol.com and 4.78.166.10.
    changed the ports from 25 to 587 to 1024.
    I appreciate your help. thanks in advance.

    My girlfriend and I are RoadRunner customers and RR allows using an SMTP server outside of their network as long as the SMTP server is authenticated.
    I set up my girlfriend's AOL account in Tiger Mail (and the only email account she uses) on my old TiBook that I loaned her until she purchases her own Mac and she sends mail with her AOL account with no problems.
    The AOL SMTP server settings are as follows:
    Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.aol.com
    Server Port: 587
    Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): Off or not selected.
    Authentication Type: Password
    User Name: Your AOL screen name or the portion of your AOL email address in front of the @ sign only.
    Password: The password for this screen name/email account - the same used for checking the account for new mail.
    If your settings are the same, try deleting and recreating the account in Mail.
    If this doesn't work and it should since it works for my girlfriend, you can select/use the RR SMTP server to send mail with your AOL account which is invisible to all recipients.

  • How come I can't access Facebook with my gmail account?

    Along with a couple other sites, I can't access Facebook with my gmail account. I'm on a mac, and even if I use different browsers (safari and google chrome), the page never opens. It consistently says "the connection was interrupted." I've tried everything, including allowing all cookies, deleting cookies, changing firewall settings, etc. However, it's not a problem on my Parallels (on the same computer). The weird thing is my friends with hotmail or yahoo facebook accounts can access the site. Help!

  • Can't send mail to POP Account which has attachment or signature

    Since installing the Update 10.4.6, I have been unable to send email to my pop account which has either a signature or an attachment (when there is no attachment or signature it works fine). I have cleared the caches using tiger cache cleaner. I have tried adding a new user account to mail. It doesn't work in Entourage either. I've reinstalled Mail. What else do you recommend?
    Prior to installing the update, mail worked great for over a year!
    Additional Information:
    Whenever I press the send icon, the mail message disappears, then in the activity viewer it gives the message “Delivering message / Sending data (28% done) and hangs there for a long time and finally gives the following message:
    Cannot send message using the server XXX
    Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server. All messages will use this server until you quit Mail or change your network settings.
    Whenever I send an email with text and a signature, the activity viewer it gives the message “Delivering message / Sending data (100% done) and hangs there for an extremely long time and finally gives the same message.

    For sending mail the POP server is not important what you need to check are the settings of the SMTP server. Verify the settings of the SMTP server again and compare it to your settings on your iMac.
    Checked SMTP settings and they are identical to the working iMac. I had not changed any settings on my MBP when it stopped sending, plus it did work briefly last night with those settings, so I don't see how it could have anything to do with my settings being incorrect.
    The only thing even remotely different that I did prior to this happening was to use it away from home. I was out of town and used someone else's wifi to send some emails, but can't see how that should matter. It was the same ISP that I use at home, so I never even had to change settings for remote access. I never touched a thing, but when I got home I could no longer send emails.

  • After I downloaded Yosemite I can no longer send mail with my google account only receive mail

    I installed Yosemite and I wish I had waited , I can now receive mail on my google account but can't send
    I just get the drop down box with Google off line try another server
    My laptop works fine but that still has maverick on it any help would be appreciated.
    I have already deleted all my mail accounts and rebooted but no luck after reinstalling mail as per laptop installation

    Well, it happened again.
    This morning I was sending out a bunch of emails and around the 10th one they started kicking back.
    This time I did not fool with any of the settings on my computer.
    I turned off both the modem and router.  Started them back up and the problem still exists.
    The last time this happend, about a week ago, it started working again within an hour.
    This problem ony crops up when I am sending many emails at the same time
    Throughout the rest of the week it works fine.
    This time I by-passed the router and the mail will go out.
    So it looks like someting is going on with the router.
    Whenver I hook the router back up, outgoing mail will not work.
    It says it cannot send mail using my server.
    I double checked all of my mail setings and nothing has changed
    I also did a hard rest on the router, but it did not help.
    Again this problem is with 2 computers. 
    I have an early version of Airport Extreme Model A1143.
    It's around 5 years old.
    Whenever I call my ISP they claim everything checks out on their end and they don't offer any help.
    I am sure if I leave the router unplugged for a day or so, it will start working again.
    Is there any way a router can break down and allow incoming mail and internet but not outgoing mail?
    I am am at wits end with this problem.
    I would be willing to go out and get the latest Airport Extreme if I knew for sure it would cure this problem.

  • Can not send mail with google account

    I have the Ipad in the 3G model but I am unable to send mail using my google account that is linked to it. If I was to go on the internet on it and send things through google it would let me but I need to be able to send attchments off the ipad so need to be able to use the mail app. I keep getting a message saying Cannont send mail the sender address was invalid. Please help

    I am having alot of trouble with my ipad(3G) and mail using gmail push set up using exchange server. It seems like every couple days it will not send mail and says unknown recepient or invalid. Then the next day it will work. I've deleted and set up the email account a few times. Same thing happens. If I just use a normal non push gmail account that works fine, but I'd like the gmail push to work. I have a strong wireless signal when this happens.
    Any ideas?

  • Can't send messages from my gmail account

    I cannot send messages from my gmail account on my IPod touch. I can receive messages. This happens everywhere I use my IPod, so it doesn't seem server dependent. I have checked the settings. Everything is turned on and seems set up properly. What is going on?

    Actually i don't use with Service Provider, you know in the Turkey it's very expensive... I tried only with wireless lan. My salary can't cover Service Provider prices and I'm already use GSM not UMTS or 3G network for battery usage duration...
    By the way, i want use my mail server not Nokia's servers or another... Why i'm connecting Nokia's servers?
    We will try another phone to sure for problem  source not phone... I guess you have two E series phone and i have only one Please try the account information in the below;
     username:[email protected]
     password:hadimassa
    server (pop and imap, incoming and outgoing): mail.baskale.com
     and you should use 587 port for smtp and use outgoing authentication option...
