Can't send messages in Mail, what do I do?

Hi,
Just upgraded from Panther to Tiger.  I set up Mail, but when I tried to send an E=mail it didn't gop through, instead I got a message saying "Sender address rejected: Not logged in"  I checked, but all the settings are correct, similar to my other computer where Mail does work.  I didn't really use Mail with Panther, so I don't know if it's an old problem.
Any ideas why this might be happening?

Provider is @aol.com
Checked the Connection Doctor and there are only green dots, stating that the connection is fine.
One says: "smtp.aol.com Connection to server succeeeded, no login required"
But when I try to send mail the error message says: "Cannot send message using the server smtp.aol.com.  Server response is: Sender address rejected; not logged in"
So, that sounds like two conflicting messages.  I'm using the same info on my other mac and it's working there (maul is sending).
I'm just now deleting a lot of old messages, maybe that would help?  Although I don't really think so.
Any ideas?

    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.

    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 messages using mail on Bell South DSL

    My parents are using Bell South DSL and a Net Gear Wireless Router. I have a Linksys Wireless Router living in GA and everything works fine. Any ideas what is going on here?
    I receive all my email, I just can't send messages.

    Ernie,
    Greetings! I found this thread after trying in vain to set up my mom's email, which also stopped working with Bellsouth after the upgrade to 10.5 (now on 10.5.1). Email conversion was fine, and she, like others here, could receive mail but not send it.
    I have followed the directions here to the letter. Still no such luck. To clarify, mail.bellsouth.net, port 25, no authentication is the only entry in her outgoing mail server list (and it's selected). Moreover, when she checks Connection Doctor, it passes with flying colors - even connecting for outgoing email.
    Still pondering this one. I'm about "this close" to getting her a Gmail account (which I tested using my account - and it works fine, even IMAP). Of course if she can keep her existing account I think she'd prefer that, but I say go with whatever works ... !
    Other troubleshooting thoughts welcome!

  • Can't send messages from Mail from Comcast account - "SMTP not responding"

    Using Mail and a Comcast account, I can receive but not send. The error message on trying to configure the outgoing mail server says the SMTP server isn't responding. If I click continue to set up the account in Mail, then go to Mail Preferences and tweak the ports between 587 and 25, triple check the username and password for the outgoing server, etc. -- still no dice.
    I wonder if this might be the problem: Is it possible to configure Mail when you're not using a Comcast installed modem? I'm trying to get my Dad's account up and running on my old Mac with my airport extreme to earthlink modem connection (which works fine for Earthlink and .Mac e-mail accounts.) Apple support and Comcast tech support are both stumped on this one, referring me back and forth to each other. HELP!
    Thanks.

    If I'm understanding this, you are trying to send messages with a Comcast account and SMTP server while connected to the internet with Earthlink?
    If so, this is the cause of the problem. All ISPs now have restrictions on using an SMTP server that is outside of their network or not provided by the ISP used for connecting to the internet.
    If you are connected to the internet with Earthlink at this house in California, contacting Comcast about a sending problem with their account and SMTP server when connected to the internet via Earthlink is a waste of time. You need to be contacting Earthlink if you are using Earthlink for your internet connection.
    Do you also have an email account with Earthlink? If so, you can select/use Earthlink's authenticated SMTP server to send messages with your Comcast email account while connected to the internet with Earthlink or call Earthlink technical support regarding their required settings for an SMTP server that is outside of their network or not provided by Earthlink.

  • Can't send messages in Mail

    Hello all. You may remember me from my recent Migration Assistant travails. Well, I eventually got a new hard drive and everything copied over fine... Or so I thought.
    I opened up Mail for the first time since the reinstall and happily went about my business, reading new messages and replying when necessary. However, this morning, two people told me that they never got my replies. I have done some testing, and here's what happens: I begin composing a new message, and after a bit it shows up in Drafts. When I hit "Send," it disappears from Drafts but never reappears in Sent Mail. The recipient never receives the message.
    This happens every time I try to send a message from any of my accounts, all of which are set up properly. What could be the issue? I'm running 10.7.2, Mail version 5.1.
    Thanks in advance!

    Updates:
    Turning off iCloud email syncing didn't work.
    Deleting /Users/me/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist didn't work. I thought I would have to re-enter my account information, but I didn't. The only things I see different are my window & view settings.
    Clarification:
    Sent messages don't appear in Outbox, either. They're completely gone.

  • 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!

    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.

    Talk to your carrier.  Sounds like something is not provisioned right on your account.

  • Mac mail can receive but can't send messages

    mac mail, can receive messages, but can't send messages. The sent symbol just spins around, but does not send.

    I am using Mail 7.3, on OS X 10.9.4 (i.e. latest as of Aug 2014).   I have 4 email accounts, all with their own SMTP servers.   All stopped sending email at the same time.
    Taking the hint from your suggestion, I looked in Mail > Preferences > Accounts, and all the SMTP servers were shown as offline (this must be a Mac Mail bug).  All accounts appear to be Online under Mail > Mailbox (pulldown), and are also Online if one highlights the Inbox account, right click.
    The trigger for the bug, in my case, was adding a new email account, and when Mail could not access it, it took everything offline.  Removing that account did not solve the problem.
    After spending hours trying all sorts of alternatives, I found the way to solve the problem was to delete all the outgoing mail servers, and reenter the information (the same information).

  • Mail can't send messages

    I have AT&T Yahoo DSL and my imac mail can't send messages. It says the smpt server has timed out trying to send the message on port 25.

    Open Connection Doctor in the Window menu
    Double click on whatever is showing as red.
    Check the following settings.
    pop.att.yahoo.com
    smtp.att.yahoo.com
    Click Advanced to enter the SSL and port info.
    Both incoming and outgoing mail use authentication
    Use (SSL) and SMTP port 465.
    Use (SSL) and change the POP3 port 995.
    Confirm the above settings before clicking OK.
    Then check connection doctor again.
    There is an incoming mail server and an outgoing mail server for each account.
    So for each account there should be 2 servers.
    Count how many servers there are set up in connection doctor.
