Cannot Append Mail Messages to Outbox

For some reason I am not able to append messages to my Outbox within Mail. When I am using my MacBook Pro on the road, I usually reply to a large number of emails without a connection to the internet. When I do this, the reply messages are placed in my Outbox and sent when I get a connection to the internet. I was able to do this using Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger but not in Leopard.
Instead I get an error message saying "Cannot append message to outbox". I have a Dot Mac email address and have also tried re-installing mail from my Leopard install disc.

I tried repairing my permissions and it did not solve the issue.

  • I changed my gmail password after suspicious activity was detected.  It works fine on my computer but my iphone 5 doesn't recognize my new password ("cannot get mail" message).  I've tried changing my phone settings to the new password, but no good.

    Hello there dinadinadina,
    It sounds like you have modified the password settings for your Gmail account after changing the password. Thats where I would have started too. Next I would restart the device and test it one more time, and then remove and add the account again in Settings:
    Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
    Restart your iOS device.
    Delete the affected email account from your device.
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Tap the affected email account.
    Tap Delete Account.
    Add your account again.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • Suddenly I consistently receive 3 or more "Cannot Get Mail" messages but all messages are received

    I have over a dozen email accounts on my iPhone, a mix of godaddy, gmail... imap and pop. All of them were working fine, and then last week I started getting "Cannot Get Mail" messages, 2 or 3 back-to-back, every time mail is retrieved.
    The thing is, I am receiving all messages from all mail accounts, despite these messages. So I have no way of knowing which service they are a result of. I have gone into settings to each account and resaved it, to see if the validation would fail on any, but all are fine.

    Have checked them online

  • CANNOT SEND MAIL MESSAGE

    I have two e-mail accounts on my iPhone 4. Occassionally, I get a message that reads "Cannot Send Mail. A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The recipient (address) was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying."
    The recipients are always individuals to whom I have sent e-mails in the past with no problem (one was my boss!). After the message sits in the outbox for a while, it's sometime sent with no further problem. Anyone else experiencing something like this? HELP!

    I am also in a similar boat.
    Recently upgraded my phone (iphone4) to iOS 4.1
    Now it only intermittently sends emails over 3G, often just sitting there with the spinny wheel and saying 'Sending' for ages, but is fine over wifi. Including wifi provided by my service provider, Vodafone, in the UK. SMTP settings match those provided by the provider (and I have even reconfigured my account on the phone to check), so there is no obvious reason for it not to work.
    Anyone else seen this? It feels like the phone is somehow not quite connecting with the server properly and then timing out.

  • "Cannot Get Mail" message

    I am using an iPhone5 and keep getting a message that says cannot get mail as username or password are incorrect.  They're not!have tried deleting and reinstalling but this doesn't work either. Have also reset phone no luck!I am receiving my Sky emails on both my iPad and MacBook so can't understand why phone won't work?Any help would be appreciated...thank you!

    Having the same issue as well.  Says my password is incorrect.  Have tried accessing the sky email via their website, but it won't let me progress past the confirmation of details screen, where I have to agree to the terms and conditions..  Just returns to the sky help page.  this is becoming a serious issue as I cannot access any of my emails . Have also deleted the account on iPad and tried with a yahoo account, but still no joy.   Anyone found a fix for this yet?

  • Microsoft Exchange email stopped working "Cannot Get Mail" message

    About 4 days ago my work email stopped working altogether. Every time i open the application, a message 'Cannot Get Mail - The connection to the server failed.' appears. This happened about a day after i installed 2.2 firmware.
    I spoke with my IT department and they haven't made any changes on the server.
    I deleted all mail accounts on my phone but to no avail. I did a complete restore of the phone and it still doesn't work.
    I had my phone replaced yesterday for a different issue, it came with 2.1 software and i still was not able to connect to the server.
    One more thing, when i initially set up the account, i get an error message 'Unable to Verify Certificate'.
    The email was working fine for about three months before that.
    Any help would be very much appreciated since it's my work phone and i rely on having access to my email everywhere i go.
    Thanks,

    Try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

  • Get Cannot Send Mail Message

    Every time I try to send an email from my IPhone I get the following message. "The server rejected one of the recipient's addresses. The message has been placed in your Outbox.". Does anyone know what the cause of this error is? I have verified the email addresses and they are correct. I have no problem receiving and reading email.
    Thank you.

    This means the outgoing mail server for the email account is being blocked.
    Who is the email account provider for the email account?
    Most if not all internet service providers block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP unless the SMTP server is authenticated, and AT&T's cellular network is no different in this regard. This restriction is part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
    I access two email accounts with the iPhone's Mail client and both email accounts have an authenticated SMTP server. I have a wireless network at home, and both email accounts are not provided by my internet service provider at home. I have no problems sending with either account regardless the internet service provider being used for my internet connection at the time - my wireless network at home, various other wi-fi networks that I have access to with different internet service providers, and when connected to AT&T's cellular network.

  • Receiving Cannot get mail message when attempting to access Yahoo mail

    I'm receiving this message using my Iphone 4s and I've seen some posts that suggest deleting the account and then re-adding it.  I've tried this a few times with no luck.  I also changed my password, but that didn't work either.  I'm not sure what to try next.  I am able to access my work e-mail (using Outlook) through my phone so I'm not sure why the phone can access Outlook, but not Yahoo.  Any suggestions?

    Thanks Matt
    After persisting for about 24 hours, this problem has disappeared. I did in fact walk away and do something else for a few hours although the computer was left asleep not off. A day later all remains OK so I'm really no wiser as to just what or where the problem was. Regardless much thanks for your assistance.

  • Cannot search mail message content

    In Snow Leopard, I used to be able to choose "from", "to" "entire message", "subject". I can't seem to do this with mail in Lion.
    Afyter typing in a search term, I get a drop down as I'm typing which shows "people". I presume that is from or to, but no way to find a word that is in the content of a message or a subject.
    Can anyone help please?

    Followup...
    I had previously had WideMail installed. It should just be disabled in Mail under Snow Leopard. However, I downloaded it again and used the Installer Dmg to Uninstall the program.
    "Entire Message" is now selectable again.
    However, the performance is horrible. Searching through my Gmail Inbox which only has around 200 messages takes several minutes. The other searches seem to have reasonable performance.
    Now honestly... this makes no sense to me. There doesn't seem to be a logical connection between the two. However, those were the steps and that was the result. It seems more likely that something else changed in the background while Mail was down.

  • We cannot receive mail messages in Mail unless we quit and re-open the mail software. Help please

    We have tourble with our Mail software. It does not receive e-mail sent to it immidiately. We have to quit Mail and re-open it and then click on "get mail" othwise it takes un unknown amount of time to download messages.

    I've had it take hours to receive an eMail I sent to myself with nothing but one line of text, depends how many times it has to go around the world to find a server path to me.
    Open Network Utility>Traceroute tab, try like smtp.gmail.com except yours in that, how many steps & time does it take?

  • Cannot delete Mail message

    I have 2 e-mails in my InBox that Mail will not let me delete. When I highlight the message and click delete, the text goes grey, but stays. If I close Mail and re-open, the message is still there and in Black. It is my current e-mail account and not an old deleted account. The preview window shows nothing for either message. Is there a way to "refresh" the contents file? I think mine has become corrupt.
    Sorry if this is a duplicate post, but Apple has removed the Search function on the discussions ... any idea why and when it will come back?

    I got it! I have 3 accounts and I was selecting the "Inbox" and Rebuild was greyed out. I clicked the down arrow and selected the one that was corrupt and was able to rebuild ... Thanx!

  • Recently getting the "Cannot Get Mail" message on the iPhone 4?

    2 months ago when the message first started appearing we could close mail on the Mac mini, and then receive emails on the the iPhone, but not any more? Have not seen any new e-mails on the iPhone since May 5.
    The message also says "The account Telus is in use on another device"?
    Has anyone encountereed this same message before?

    Hey skrobichaud,
    The following article goes over what might have prompted the "account Telus is in use on another device" message you're receiving on your iPhone:
    iOS: 'Mailbox Locked', account is in use on another device, or prompt to re-enter POP3 password

  • The ubiquitous 'cannot send mail' message

    Earthlink is my provider; I checked the e-mail profile in my account and I verified it on my iPhone. Still get the message. This is recent (past week). I receive mail fine. By the way the outgoing mail server is 'smtpauth.earthlink.net'. Any ideas?

    Since no one to date has answered let me tell you what Apple tech support had me do, after having me turn off the main outgoing mail server and turn on the AT&T server, which didn't work. He had me keep the primary outgoing server OFF and turn ON all the other four servers. That worked, but something feels weird about it. Am I wrong? Any downside?
