Cannot Send e-mails for iPhoto

Hi,
After the latest iPhoto update a week or so ago, my ability to e-mail from iPhoto has stopped.
I get an error:
"Your email did not go through because the server did not reply.
Check your Internet connection. If the connection is working properly, the email server may be down. Try sending your email again later."
This is not the case, standard mails work fine and I have removed and added 2 different types of e-mail addresses in iPhoto and its the same (one a .me.com and one a sky.com)
I have disbled the firewall (just in case) but still no joy.
My settings are "email using iPhoto"
If I change it to email using mail it works fine.
Any suggestions ??

Terence,
As per my original post:
Standard mails are working fine
I can mail from iPhoto using Mail (which puts the photo's into a standard e-mail)
I have deleted all my e-mail accounts in iPhoto
I have created 2 different mail accounts from scratch (.me.com and .sky.com)
The issue only started after the recent upgrade, before that it worked fine
I am still not able to send mails using iPhoto.
Thanks for your help.

Cannot send email from within iPhoto

Using OX X 10.7.5 cannot send email from within iPhoto. I get this error message: "Your email did not go through because the server did not reply."
If I change the preference to use email, everything goes fine but I lose the formatting feature.

iPhoto Menu ->
Preferences ->
Accounts ->
Delete and recreate your email settings.
Alternatively, use Apple's Mail for the job. It has Templates too - and more of them. Check out the Stationery...

When I am on my home wifi I can send e-mail. When I am not on my home e-mail but on a wifi network or using the 3g network I cannot send e-mail. HELP HOW TO FIX.

When I am on my home wifi I can send e-mail. When I am not on my home e-mail but on a wifi network or using the 3g network I cannot send e-mail. HELP HOW TO FIX.

I know this question is a few years old now, but I recently found myself having the exact same issues;
Using my iphone or ipad at home created no problems at all, but I couldn't send e mails when away from my home network.
I recently switched broadband supplier at home and set up a new e mail address, then my problems began!
I openly admit I'm not great with technology and, to be honest, some of the answers provided on these forums confuse me more than the questions!
But this worked for me:
I went along the lines that the fault wasn't with my idevice but possibly with the broadband provider (in my case Plusnet) so I contacted their customer support.
They referred me to the set up process shown below;
From your home screen press Settings.
From the setting menu, choose Mail, Contacts, Calendars followed by Add Account…
From the Add Account… menu choose Other.
Fill in your Full Name, Email Address, Password and Description and press Next.If you need help with these, there's more detail underneath the screenshot.
Full name: Enter your name (or the name you'd like people to see when you send them email)
Email Address: Enter the address you're setting up, this could be a Plusnet address ([email protected]) or a hosted domain address ([email protected])
Password: Enter the password for your email address (I don't know what this is)
Description: Enter a useful description of the email address you're setting up (e.g. Mum's email). You can put whatever you want here
Press Next to continue.
More settings will appear. Some will already be filled in.Enter the Incoming and Outgoing Mail Server details and press Next. If you need help with these, there's more detail underneath the screenshot.
IMAP/POP This will default to IMAP - it's up to you which one you want to use (I don't know what to choose)
Incoming Mail Server settings
Host Name: For IMAP this is imap.plus.net - for POP, this is mail.plus.net
User Name & Password: Enter the username and password for the email address you're setting up (I don't know what these are)
Outgoing Mail Server settings
Host Name: relay.plus.net
User Name & Password: These are optional, but if you want to send mail while on the move (e.g. while connected to mobile or wireless networks), we recommend filling these in.Enter the username and password for the email address you're setting up (I don't know what these are)
When you're finished, press Next.
If the box shown below appears, press Yes (you may need to do this twice).
After a minute or two, your email address will be set up and ready to use.If you chose IMAP when setting up you’ll be able to choose whether you want to use Notes (if you chose POP you’ll be taken back to the settings screen from step 2). Press Save when you’re done.
That's all you need to do. To start checking your email, go back to your home screen and press Mail.
Now I fully understand that it may be different for each broadband provider but the processes must be similar.
The key appears to be in setting up the outgoing message server settings in step 5. Where it says "optional, but if you want to send mail while on the move (e.g. while connected to mobile or wireless networks), we recommend filling these in.
http://www.plus.net/support/email/setup/ios-setup.shtml#pagetop
Where it says "we recommend" I think it should read "you must fill these in"
I went back to Settings - Mail,Contacts, Calenders - click on the offending account and click on the account shown.
Under OUTGOING MAIL SERVER click on the server, in my case relay.plus.net, and click again to show the details. make sure you enter your user name and password and after a few seconds the account will verify and show a load of ticks.
I tried this on my phone this morning while on 3G only. I sent an email to another of my addresses and immediately got the response that the message couldn't be sent as the recipient was rejected and the message had been placed in my Outbox. I followed the above steps and immediately heard the satisfying "whoosh" as my mail was sent. 10 seconds later another satisying beep as my e mail arrived at my alternate account.
Hope this helps anyone else with a similar problem.

Cannot send from mail

I am using 10.4.7 and i cannot send any mail from mail program. No problem sending with Entourage (settings are the same). Also, when I type in a message in Mail, as soon as i type a space, i cannot add anything after that - strange.
G5 Dual Mac OS X (10.4.7)

This problem in Mail is usually caused by some Launch Services cache or preferences corruption. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services -- the notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved:
Resetting Launch Services
If you prefer using a cache cleaning utility instead of following the manual procedure described in the previous article, this other article provides links to some utilities that can be used for troubleshooting and cache cleaning:
Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
It seems that the most appropriate utility for solving this particular problem is Tiger Cache Cleaner, but you may also want to consider other utilities, such as OnyX, or Cache Out X, which are free. Whatever utility you choose, be sure to read this first:
Side effects of System cache cleaning
As an example, this is how you should proceed with OnyX:
1. Quit all applications.
2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
3. Click Maintenance. In the Reset section, check LaunchServices database.
4. You may uncheck any other pre-checked options if you wish.
5. Click the Execute button.
6. Restart the computer.
7. If the problem persists, try again checking the Links between documents and applications option in step 3 instead.

Suddenly Cannot send e-mail through g-mail account

I have had no problems with sending/receiving mail until suddenly 4 days ago - can receive, but cannot send e-mail through a g-mail account. Do not know how to rectify, nor whom to reach out to...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello PBriestner,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
The following article should be useful to you in troubleshooting email on your computer:

I can receive but cannot send e-mails!

I have a gmail account; I can read the incoming mails but cannot send outgoing mails. I get the following error message:
The SMTP server “smtp.gmail.com” rejected the password for user “XYZ"
XYZ = my name.
The password is correct because I can access my gmail account by using the relevant website.

In your server setytings do you have XYZ or [email protected] as the User Name? What Authentication: do you have?

I cannot send e-mail exceeded limit

I cannot send e-mail exceeded limit? What must I do? Wait a day for limit to reset?

The limit is a daily limit (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4863), although I'm not sure if you have to wait a full 24 hours or until midnight CST (in Cupertino, CA, where Apple is located).

Since upgrading to Maverick I cannot send/share photos through iPhoto. Dropbox says "not connected to server". All other online email activities work just fine.

Since upgrading to Maverick I cannot send photos while in iPhoto. Dropbox says I am not connected to server.
All other internet email activities work just fine.

And again why do you think Dropbox is involved in any way? There is no connection of any sort between iPhoto and Dropbox
THis sounds like you either need to (my personal suggestion) change your email client to Mail in the iPhoto preferenceemail if you want to use the iPhoto client under the accounts tab delete your account and re-enter it

Sudenly, I cannot send any mails...

Sudenly, I cannot send any mails! When I try, it takes a long time, then it asks me for mails passwords, I enter them and finaly mails are not sent...
On another hand I receive mails.
Fortunately, I have Entourage and it works well!
Probably, with Thunderbird it would work well too...

If you are prompted for a password when sending messages with this account, this indicates the SMTP server used with this account is authenticated.
If so, try running Keychain First Aid on your Login Keychain via Keychain Access.
If no problems are found and repaired or this doesn't resolve the problem, try the following:
If any unsuccessfully sent messages remain in the Outbox, transfer these messages to the account's Drafts mailbox.
Quit Mail and using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > Mailboxes > Outbox.mbox. Delete the Outbox.mbox folder and empty the Trash.
Launch Mail and a new Outbox.mbox folder will be recreated automatically by Mail within the Mailboxes folder.
Test if this resolves the problem.

Why is it, every time I click send e-mail for instructions on resetting my security questions, I don't get them? I just want to play minecraft. I already put $15 in my balance and I can't even spend it. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Either they're being sent to a different email address, or got caught in a spam filter, or something's wrong at Apple's end. If you can't find the email, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions, which can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.

Since upgrading to OSx 10.9, I cannot place my music for iPhoto slideshows. The only music that works is the Sample and Theme music that comes with iPhoto. Any idea of what to do about this problem?

In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
Then quit and restart iPhoto.
Credit to user keysandfood who figured that one out.

Anyone have the same problem? Cannot send e-mail, but all e-mail settings appear OK.

Check thru here:

Some times deleting and recreating the account can help this, Mail preferences/accounts, write down all the info ina all fields, and all tabs.
Delete the account from the left column highlight the acct and click the minus symbol at the bottom, reboot, then open Mail preferences accts, click the plus symbol and recreate the acct.
If no joy call your provider, maybe they may have changed some of the settings that you need.
