Can't sent email with Mail.app

When attempting to send outgoing mail from Mail I get this warning.
"The attempt to read data from the server “mailhub.une.edu.au” failed.
You can try to send using a different server. All messages will use this server until you quit or change your network settings."
I've tryed to solve this by deleting all the server and email info, and re entering it. I had thought that that may fix the situation (I had also at various time switched authentication on and off and changed the port from 25 to 587) But I still am getting a failure message as shown above. I have also put the outgoing mail as the networs SMTP serve.
Can someone help me. It s a pain to have to go to the .mac site and log in each time I want to send my emails.

No, we cannot eliminate all those things, not by a long shot!
A very important question I asked was: In Mail, is your Username appended to the name of the SMTP, or not? Please answer. You should also ask your ISP if the form of Authentication for their SMTP will result in the name of the SMTP being appended with your Username. Have you found any support pages that show this for any other mail client, on any other computer platform?
It does not matter what you do with regard to any other SMTP server, until you determine how to make the one with the ISP work with Mail, or with Th'bird, because any third party SMTP must relay to that of the ISP, and if it does work the one for your Webhost will also not work!

Why "Outlook Express" users can't read email from Mail.app ?

Why "Outlook Express" users can't read email from Mail.app ? Any explanation ? Select a good format,that's a good explanation,but i can't know each time if our recipients use "Outlook Express".

There are no completely bug free email clients including the Mail.app and Outlook has its share of bugs for such an old/mature email clients and some glaring ones that MS has been aware of for a long time but has chosen not to do anything about since these do not affect exchanging email with other Outlook users.
Outlook has always had problems with Mail's RTF and the degree depending on the Windows and Outlook versions used by the recipient.

You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer your questions, if you don't have access to your current rescue address then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use (the address can't be being used anywhere else) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

Cannot send email with Mail app-..can't connect to AOL server anymore??

Up until today my MAIL app in my iMac let me use an email address that is from the AOL.com group (netscape.net)…I cannot send emails now because I can't get the computer to connect to the server. My iPad will….but not the desktop. I tried using a different server name; smtp.nestcape.net, which is the one I used in the iPad…but the iMac won't let me change it to that one..so back to the old smtp.aol.com……Still my MAIL app is not recognizing this or letting me connect!?!. I tried creating a new password at the wedpage of that email account.. successfully..but it has made no difference. I am stumped and have wasted half the day trying to deal with this. Anyone else have such an experience? HELP…PLEASE!

Thank you Eric for sending the links. Fortunately after I wrote this post…I don't know what happened but I filled in my mail preference settings for the umteenth time with my new email password and voila! It worked. For some reason however…now when I open the Mail App I do still get a prompt asking me if I want to use this server….and it is, of course, the one and only I have listed.!?!?! The thing that irritates me…is…that I had done NOTHING to cause a problem to begin with. I think my email account at aol (nestcape) may have been hacked and my password stolen or compromised in some way??...and perhaps that caused a glitch in my mail app??? I am no techy, but I should have started out with my intuition and changed the password first before going mental….When something like this happens it makes one feel so vulnerable.…I usually feel well secured with my lone iMac and now my new iPad…ANYWAY…thank tyou for addressing my issue and I have bookmarked those links…for future reference which I hope I never need. Hey..is that your kitty??? She is beeeooootiful!
Take care and again, thanx~ D

Can't receive email with Mail 4.4 - but iPad does

Hi guys,
I have a strange problem with Mail 4.4: I have multiple email accounts that I manage through Mail - all work fine except my gmail account, which stopped receiving emails about a week ago. Here are some details:
1. The account constantly shows the "busy" icon (rotating circle) but Mail Activity window does not show anything.
2. I can send email from the account - but not receive any emails for this account with Mail.
3. I access the same account through my iPad and iPhone - both work perfectly fine (i.e. get all emails), it's just Mail that does not receive.
4. The Connection Doctor shows no errors - all lights are "green"
5. I can access the corresponding gmail account through Safari without problem - all incoming emails are shown correctly
6. The account is set up as IMAP
There is one occurrence that is probably related to the problem and could help with a solution:
1. Mail 4.4 created a new folder called "Recovered Messages" for the gmail account and started saving tons of messages in it - or copies of one message to be precise. This happened at the exact point in time when Mail stopped receiving emails for this account. The email in this folder is one that I attempted to sent, but never did: I composed it and dragged some attachments into the compose window. One of these - accidentally - turned out to be 25MB so I figured that email is too large and closed/deleted the email before sending it.
It now seems that mail is reloading this gigantic 25+MB email over and over again into the "Recovered Messages" folder. I tried to find that email in Drafts, Sent or Outbox folders but it is nowhere to be found - I have no idea from where Mail loads this over and over again.
Can you help? Many thanks in advance!

First time I can answer my own question
I did some more research and found a thread about the issue of large emails getting stuck and reloaded into Recovered Messages folder:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2153401
This one did the trick for me (posted by Miguel Lira):
If you're experiencing the "Recovered Messages" issue it may be related to offline processes that are failing when you open iMail. For me the fix was to open a terminal window and delete all the files in the following folder: ~/Library/Mail/[email protected]/.OfflineCache

Can you use Exchange with Mail.app?

Hello,
I have attempted to search for this answer but have not found anything that really helped me. Can someone guide me to an url or resource to see if using Exchange on a Mack with Mail is possible?
Thanks so much!

Hi all;
For MS Exchange on Mac, you need to run IMAP4 on MS Exchange server to allow Mac users connect and download emails locally using Mail.app (copy from emails remain on server like Outlook).
For that do the following:
1. Enable IMAP4 service:
a. From Services (Local).
b. Microsoft Exchange IPAM4.
c. Change it to Automatic.
d. Start the service.
2. Enable IMAP4 in MS Exchange system:
a. Exchange System Manager.
b. First Organization.
c. Servers.
d. 'Server name'.
e. Protocols.
f. IMAP4.
g. Default IMAP4 Virtual Server.
h. Right click and Start.
3. Restart MS Exchange server.
On Mac client (Mail.app):
1. Add new account.
2. Email Address: [email protected]
3. Password: user's password.
4. Account Type: Exchange.
5. Incoming Mail Server: "MS Exchange server" IP or Full DNS name (i.e. Server.test.com).
6. User Name: [email protected]
7. Password: user's password.
8. Outlook Web Access Server: Same to Incoming Mail Server.
9. Outgoing Mail Server: Same to Incoming Mail Server.
10. Check "Use Authentication" and fill User and Password fields.
11. Check "Take Account Online" .
Note: Mac users have to join the windows domain
Regards

How can eliminate duplicate emails with mail forwarders?

On 10.6 server.
We have multiple users complaining about getting two copies of some emails when the emails are sent to both their individual accounts and the group forwarder account that is also on the server. Is there any way to eliminate this or am I stuck? Is there some kind of group email in WGM or postfix? Are there options somewhere for "remove to and cc from distribution" like options for forwarders?
Thanks.

Cannot send email in mail app. using POP account with Wi-Fi

I recently moved to an apartment that only has wireless internet access. Since moving I cannot send email using my POP account, although I can receive email. I was also not able to receive email using my .mac account, but I learned through this forum to change server port to 587 in .mac account and now I can send via .mac account in mail app. But I still cannot sent email with mail app. using my POP account. I changed no settings when I moved, and have never had this problem with cable. Any suggestions?

It all depends on the policy of whoever is the ISP at your new location and the method used by the outgoing (SMTP) server to determine whether you’re a legitimate user.
In an attempt to fight spam, many ISPs restrict the ability to send using an outgoing (SMTP) server not owned by them, usually by blocking port 25 for all traffic outside their own network, which means you cannot send with an SMTP server not owned by them if configured to use that port number. And it may happen the other way around as well, i.e. the outgoing server itself may look at the IP address you’re connecting from and refuse the connection if you’re outside its own network.
Something that often works is changing the outgoing server port to 587 (or whatever alternate port number the outgoing server listens to) instead of 25 and using some form of authentication in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server > Server Settings, but two conditions must be satisfied for this change to work: (1) the ISP must not block that port as well AND (2) the outgoing server in question must listen to that port and accept a form of authentication not based on the IP address you’re connecting from.
Independent mail service providers not tied to a particular ISP, such as .Mac and Gmail, do allow authenticated SMTP access on port 587, which is the reason changing the outgoing server port number solves the problem for them if the ISP doesn’t block that port as well.
The following article, for example, describes several ways to address this issue in the case of .Mac, but can be useful for other mail accounts as well (not just .Mac), and applies to all versions of Mac OS X (not just Mac OS X 10.4.2 and earlier as the article states):

A problem to sync emails in Mail app between iMac and Macbook Air

Hello members,
I have had a problem that can't sync emails in Mail app(OSX Mavericks) betwee iMac and Macbook Air. I have iCloud mail account and several Gmail accounts on the mail app.
Is there anyone to help me?

When both are at home on the same network and sharing drives, you can use a variety of tools. Check the App store for fily syncronization. Also, OS X includes rsync if you are a UNIX command line person, and there are shareware GUI's for rsync as well (RsyncX was one I remember). Then there are commercial tools like Chronosync.
Another, albeit to my mind cumbersome way, is to use an airport time capsule and time machine. You use TM to backup each machine, and use the option in TM to browse another TM backup to restore from (eg. come home from a trip, backup the MacBook Air, then log on to the iMac, browse to the MBA backup volume and restore what you recently worked on from there).
Or get a NAS device for home and use that as a common personal form of dropbox. The key would be keeping a neat uniform directory structure for the things you need sync'd - like maybe just the Documents folder & subfolders.

Can't send emails with picture attachments

All of a sudden, I can't sent emails with picture attachments. I last tried this a few weeks ago and it worked, now it doesn't.
I have tried a battery pull while the phone is on, registered on the network again and had the service books resent and nothing works.
Anyone else have this problem or have any ideas of how to fix it?

Can you please provide more information? Are you getting any error message when attaching or sending the pictures? Are you able to send other types of attachments? Is this happening for all email accounts on your BlackBerry?

Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac. Tried every settings, My iCloud only works with Mail.app

Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac or any other Mac. My iCloud will only work with Mail.app. All the clients I tried work perfectly well as long as I sign in with somebody else's iCloud account. But mine won't work no matter the client (Postbox, Unibox, Airmail...) and no matter the computer.
I can access my account on iCloud.com, but I can't use email clients without getting error messages prompting me to check my password or login.
I was able to use those clients in the past but a couple of months ago I got logged out of Airmail and the issue started just like that!
I tried every possible mail server settings including the following:
IMAP information for the incoming mail server
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
Port: 993
Username: The name part of your iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not [email protected])
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP information for the outgoing mail server
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, [email protected], not emilyparker)
Password: Your iCloud password

Those are the correct settings, and they work with any email client that supports Imap.
Try again.

I can't send emails from Mail. I have three different accounts set up and have the same problem with all. The mail just sits in my outbox. All worked fine until Yosemite upgrade. Recent update has not fixed problem.

I have been experiencing the same problem. My mail app won't even open on my Late 2011 Macbook Pro. It will show as open, but the app will never actually show up.

When I send an email with Mail, I often confuse the account which I'm using. The result is that I send a message with the wrong account! Is there a way to avoid this (for example a reminder before the email is sent)?

Hi, thanks for the answer, I did that already. Unfortunatly this doesn't help me at all, as I often forget to check the menu. For me composing the message is writing the text, the subject, the person to who is addressed and than press "send".
I often forget to check the "from", and this is a problem because the software select itself one of the accounts.
Isn't there a way at least to put as a default a blank field instead of one of the accounts? or an account which doesn't work so if I forget to specify the "from" I will be rnotofied that the message can't be sent.
I guess this could be a rather common problem for many people!
Thanks
Sergio
