Cannot Receive But Can Send Emails on Mac Mail

Hi guys, all of a sudden, I stopped receiving emails when I'm at work. Sending is fine. It wasn't like this a few weeks ago. Any advice? Thanks!

While I should warn that it's probably something to do with your mailbox store, to answer your question:
Under Mail/Preferences…/Accounts tab you'll see incoming and outgoing mail server names. Sometimes those names point at physical hardware instead of aliases given to you by a name server. Think of the mail service not as a computer but as a virtual entity that can be pointed to anywhere, even if temporarily. If the server hardware changes a hard-coded server name won't follow the service it if it's not pointing at an alias.
I thought of this because you only lost incoming, not outgoing, a typical scenario for admins swapping server hardware as some don't distinguish between virtual services and hardware, you know, pointing the finger at the box and saying "that's the mail server", when the service and storage could actually be aliased to any equipment that's available. A good setup will point to an alias from day one, so that admins have future flexibility to evolve without interruption just by maintaining an accurate DNS.
Sorry if I've led you down the wrong path. Stalling a mailbox rebuild sounds like a different kind of problem.

How to unjam my ipad? I cannot receive but can send so have to use main pc to receive

I can however still send more photos but had to go to my PC to receive my emails as I c.c. myself into all the emails I sent. Is the ipad jammed because I sent too many phtos at one time?

ICloud Alias Cannot Recieve but can Send Emails

My [email protected] E-mail address can send but not receive E-mails. If I send an E-mail from iCloud it uses the [email protected] address as the sender but if someone replies to this E-mail the reply fails as an unknown alias. Has anyone found a solution to this?

Hi,
Im assuming that you have a hotmail plus account which allows you to get access to your mail via pop?
If so, then on your iphone you need to go into settings/mail/yourhotmail/SMTP/primary server/ and ensure the password box in there is populated. This should then allow you to send mail.

Trouble Reveiving (but not sending) email with Mac Mail

I only intermittently can recieve yahoo emails on my new Air. Sending is no problem. Also recieve most, but not all, messages on my iPad. Sending also ok. But my iPhone sends and receives perfectly. Cants get help from apple, yahoo or time-Werner cable. ALL suggestions greatly appreciated. Very frustrated with my new Apple gear.

Well, since your iPhone receives perfectly, use it as the model to set up your iPad and MacBook Air.
On your iPhone, check Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > (your Yahoo account). Check the Incoming Mail Server settings, particularly the host name and server port (if you have that, it may be under "Advanced").
Make sure they're set the same on your iPad. On your Mac, in Mail, go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and look under your Yahoo account.

Problem sending emails with Mac Mail 1.3.11

Desperately in need of help. I'm able to receive but not send email using Mac Mail. I keep getting an error message:
"This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
The sender address [email protected] was rejected by the server"
I have already tried the following at the advice of AppleCare reps:-
Have verified & repaired disk utilities & keychains
Have reinstalled the operating system
Have trashed the mail.plist file
Have trashed the outbox.mbox file
Getting quite frustrated now because we have a mac bookpro with identical mail settings and it is able to send and receive mail without any problems.Could it be the version of Mail I'm running ?
I initially thought that the problem related to having switched to a new ISP but the fact that one of the mac's has no problem has led me to be less convinced of that idea.
Any suggestions gratefully accepted.
Many thanks

I am having the same problem exactly. I can read e-mail, but get the same error message trying to send it. I can't use .Mac anymore--have to use alternate e-mail for the last month--since some time in October 2006.
I haven't changed anything on my G4, haven't upgraded anything, and the problem started about the time .Mac reported some customers were unable to use Mail for a couple of days in October.
I see nobody answered your post. Did you ever get your mail to work? I have repaired permissions, but I don't think it has anything to do with that.
Thanks,

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.

5th gen ipod can receive but not send emails

5th gen ipod can receive but not send emails. I have iPad with same settings and no issues. Yet, I keep getting "cannot send mail" the user name or password for "[email protected]" is incorrect. Please assist. I am not running both accounts simultaneously

See:
iOS: Unable to send or receive email
Did it work before?
I suspect a error in the settings for the outgoing mail server.

Why can I receive but not send emails

Why can I receive but not send emails on my i pad?

Perhaps the outgoing mail server settings are incorrect or incomplete.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

I can receive but not send emails with my skynet account - what am I doing wrong ?
I have no problems with my Yahoo account but I can not send emails with my skynet account.
Actually in iPhone :
Outgoing Mail Server > SMTP "relay.skynet.be"
Primary server > Not Configured > Off
Thank you ...

When you set them up, did you set up both the incoming and outgoing email servers separately, and did you enter the correct SMTP server name, and enter your userid and password even though it says "optional"?
Something else to try, if you haven't, is delete the accounts, connect the iPhone to iTunes, on the Info tab check the box to sync mail server settings, then sync. This should duplicate the settings from your computer to your iPhone.

TS3276 sending emails from mac mail?

not possible to send email from mac mail since hotmail changed to outlook?

The logo is an attachment. Anything in an email message that is not text must be sent as an attachment in order to be compliant with email protocols. But many modern email programs will automatically display the contents of some attachments. Apple Mail will display JPEGs and single-page PDFs. Presumably your correspondents are using an application that displays JPEGs but not PDFs.
Some email programs expect attachments to come at the end of the message, not intermixed with the other contents of the message. Such an app may treat everything after the first attachment as attachments. That might cause the different behavior when additional attachments are included before the attachment in your signature.

Old but new Q: Cannot send email from Mac Mail application but computer tells me I'm online

I know this is an "old" issue for many, but I cannot find the solution to my problem.
A couple of months ago I moved to a new flat--suddenly I could not send emails anymore from my Mac Mail app, although I could receive them. I called Comcast, my Internet provider, who said it was my email server's problem. My email server is icloud, so I talked to a Mac tech guy who did remote desktop troubleshooting and said everything was set up correctly, etc., so I will have to talk to Comcast again. I called Comcast again and they told me again, it is not their issue.
So this is what happens: When I try to send an email, I get the spinning circle in the mailbox bar, and then it tells me after five minutes of spinning that icloud is offline. However, when I do a further check of the diagnostics, the light is green and says that yes, in fact I am connected/online. Note: I can send and receive fine on webmail, but I do not want to keep using webmail at home. It is very inconvenient.
I called Mac support again, and they told me I should find my solution online; otherwise, I can pay $20 to have someone remotely troubleshoot for me. Of course, I could not find the answer online. I am quite frustrated and annoyed at this point. Is it a port issue? Is it an OS issue? Mind you, I only have this problem at home, nowhere else. I take my laptop to a café, to a friend's place--I can send emails just fine. This leads me to believe that it's a Comcast issue, although they deny it.
Any thoughts would be deeply, deeply appreciated! Thank you!!

How about some free much-needed advice on how I can
start receiving emails again!
This indicates you were able to receive email with
your Verizon account previously with the Mail.app?
If so, try running Keychain First Aid on your login
Keychain.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=151548
Open Keychain Access, located in
Applications/Utilities.
Choose Window > Keychain First Aid.
Select your login Keychain, enter your password,
select Repair and then Start.
This is Trevor from the first post and I figured it out:
Go into mail - preferences - and delete the email account in question - the window will tell you that you'll lose all your saved mail, etc - you can save it if you like.
Then click on yes and you create a new mail account using your same incoming/outgoing settings. And, like magic, it works!
Try it - and if you want to save any mail before deleting your affected account, do it.
All the best!

Hi Shane.
I'm so sorry, the administrator in my company didn't provide enough information for me.
Actually, when I sent email to ***@gmail.com, there was a notification sent to me by the system. The error notification is :

Hotmail shows inbox but cannot open emails shown but can send email, it works on other browsers and I did the latest update on firefox

Firefox brings up my Hotmail web page and shows emails but I cannot open them or delete them. I can send emails however. Other browsers like Opera and Chrome work the Hotmail fine. I have downloaded the latest Firefox update as late as today!
This is a new problem and it worked fine for years. I have Windows 7 operating system on my desktop.

This problem has been ongoing for months for some users.
I managed to fix my issue by completely uninstalling FF and then reinstalling the newest version which is 6.0-something.
I was previously running on 3.0 and my automatic updates had not told me there was a newer version.
I don't know if that will fix everybody's problem though. I assume a lot of people were already running on FF 6 when they had their problems.
