Cannot send Email with Mail since updated to 10.7.2, they stay in my Send Box...

Since I updated, I cannot send Email through Mail, it works with Thunderbird though.

Just FYI, I've had the same problem for months now. I have been accessing my hotmail via the web, but decided to try the OS X Mail app. I could get emails into the account with no problem but couldn't send. I read all the blog and support entries and have tried everything they recommended, like changing my computer name to one word, without success. Then last night, it just so happened that my broadband provider had to change out my wireless modem. As soon as he plugged in the new one, some emails that had been in my outbasket for a month went through instantly and all of a sudden my Mail, both incoming and outgoing now work. So I think people need to look at their router settings for the a solution to the problem.

I'm not able to send emails with mail.ru. Receiving and reading is not a problem. When I create a email with mail.ru its not possible to send it although its stored in my mail.ru account as "still to be send". What can it be??

I'm not able to send emails with mail.ru. Receiving is not a problem. Creating a mail is also not a problem and the mail will be stored at mail.ru as still to be send, only problem is its not possible to send. I noticed the buttons for sending change colour when used but they don't perform. What it is?

Don't know what changed, but all of a sudden able to send emails by mail.ru ...... sorry for bothering.

Who is your email provider? Have you set up your account manually or was it set up automatically?

Problems with Mail since update Yosemite

Hello
I have a MacBook Pro 13" from approx. Dec. 2010.
I made last weekend the update to Yosemite. Since then the Mail.app does not work correct anymore. I can send mails and I can get mails from my webmail server if Mail.app is open. When I start Mail.app new I can not get the incoming mails from the webmail server. Mail.app does not download the incoming mails arrived in the meantime as the Mail.app was closed from the webmail server. I tried to create the mail account new but that did not work. I can not create a new mail account either.
Now I tried to create a new main account and I installed one of my mail account. there. In this new main account the mail.app is working well again and got all mails downloaded.
So it looks that during the update of Yosemite my existing main account got an error.
I could work now on the new account. But how can I bring all adjustments and data's out of the existing account into the new account? Is this possible to do?
Or how can I fix the existing account that has an error? Do I have to go back to Mavericks again? And how can I go back to mavericks like it was before the update to Yosemite?
Hope I can get some answers that would help me in this case.
Thank's in advance!

Here is my list of problems with Mail since upgrading to Yosemite (all was working just fine before) ...
[MacBook Pro, Retina 13", late 2013, 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB, 500GB running OS X Yosemite 10.10]
Mail is very slow (seems to be a memory leak?)
Read emails not being marked as read (sporadic - sometimes it works just fine)
Deleted emails not being deleted (sporadic - sometimes it works just fine)
When replying to a message, does not close original message (sporadic - sometimes it works just fine)
When dragging a message to a folder cannot scroll up (can scroll down)
Message is sometimes blank (but the same message opened fine previously or later)
Message is sometimes one line of text and it is not possible to easily scroll horizontally to read the message (two finger side swipe on trackpad works but not Magic Mouse ... easiest way to read emails is to forward or reply)
Calendar invite messages not closing or being deleted when invite RSVP is completed
I should roll back my OS but this is a real hassle so I am hoping for Apple to submit an update to Yosemite or Mail & Calendar.
Has anyone else had any of the above problems? Anyone got any temp solutions until updates come from Apple? Perhaps changing settings can resolve some of the above issues - I have tried but failed.

How do I use my iPhone's hot spot to send email with Mail ?

Hi,
My land line is dead ... so no phone nor internet at home. But I can use my iPhone'hot spot to get on the web from my iMac. Great ... it works !
Oups ! I cannot send email from my computer using my iPhone's hot spot with Mail.
How do I do that ?
Regards.
Robert Lespérance

Hi Templeton Peck,
Thanks for droping in my thread ...
Doesn't the fact that I can surf the web with my iPhone's hot spot and that I cannot use Mail normally has I normally do give you a clue what the problem could be ?
What other information can I give you other than normally I can surf and send email with my regular ISP. Now that my ISP is dead I am using my iPhone's hotspot to surf the web awaiting that my ISP's connoection returns. Surfing is OK but I cannot send emails with through Mail.
When I want to send an email from my computer, I get a message asking me to select the the SMTP server. Then I select my usual ISP server, but the message comes back telling me it does not work.
Is there any other configuration to do ?

Occasional trouble sending emails with Mail

When I try to send emails through Mail, about 1 in 5 messages seems to have trouble sending. What happens is, I click send, the sending icon has a little activity sign for way longer than it takes to normally send an email, and ultimately a few minutes later I get this error message:
"Cannot send message using the server
smtpout:secureserver.net:(myid@mydomainname).com
The connection to the server “smtpout.secureserver.net” on port 80 timed out.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
Sending from: me <(myid@mydomainname).com>"
Normally I then click "edit message" and then try sending, and it usually goes through fine. This started about a year ago, and I have just been dealing with it, but now I'm realizing that the problem may result in multiple versions of the same email being sent, so I'd like to get it solved!
It seems to happen with yahoo and comcast, etc., emails on the receiving end.

this always happens on my desktop iMac (the usual computer I use), which is connected to the internet via my Airport/ wirelessly. My ISP hasn't changed, and I haven't heard from them about any issues... and I don't seem to have trouble connecting to the internet otherwise - it's just when sending through Mail, and just with certain addresses (as far as I can tell).
For example, occasionally I'll send an email through my webmail (same email address, same ISP, same computer, but via the webmail site on my internet browser), and I've never had trouble with the outgoing mail there. If I use my husband's Windows-based laptops or PC (on the same ISP, same cable modem, connected either wirelessly or wired) and do webmail, no problem there either
This leads me to believe that it's the way that Mail is trying to send, trying to connect to the outgoing server or something? Especially because the message apparently IS sending - maybe Mail is just not getting confirmation back from the recipient's server? I can't rely on the message having gone through, but it seems most recipients are ultimately receiving the message twice - when it comes back to me with an error, and again when I successfully send.
Can I try reconfiguring my outgoing message Mail settings? I don't know what other settings to try...

Cant send emails with talktalk since upgrading

since upgrading Xos i cannot send emails with talktalk, i can receive them and still send on ipad and iphone. any one else had the same experience thanks

You need to send through the smtp address provided by your mobile network or switch your mobile email to an imap provider such as gmail or an apple .me account as these tend to work.

Trouble Sending email with Mail.

I just upgraded to Lion 2 weeks ago and now after a power outage (2days out) I am having issues sending emails with my desktop (ethernet- hardwired). My Laptop was fine yesterday (wireless) but not working today. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your time and advice.

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.

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

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.

Cannot receive email on phone since update

Since the new update, I cannot receive email on my phone. How do I get it to work again?

I am unable to make or receive calls since upgrading to Lollipop today. I have a Samsung Galaxy S5. Any ideas?
Not on AIRPLANE mode
Signal strength shows as full 4G
When connected to WIFI, still can't make phone calls
When I make a call it says "Welcome to Verizon....Your call cannot be completed as dialed."
P.S. I do have data, and i'm able to send\receive text, browse the internet and download apps from google play store, but I can't make calls.

Can't send attachments, can barely send emails at times since updated OS.

Mac's Mail app. 2.1 will not send attachments anymore (on or about the time I updated 3 of my copmuters to OS X 10.4.7. At times I can barely send emails, especially if they have more than a few lines of content! I can, however, receive email. My ISP, Adelphia, in Los Angeles, says everything's fine on their end and it's the Mail application. This is ridiculous. It started a week ago, then stopped doing it, and now it's totally worthless again. I've read numerous accounts of this in the discussions, but every "solution" seems needlessly complex. Can anyone help?
Power Mac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi Freder,
That's interesting...
Possibility: Some mail or account setting or preference file is corrupted
Make a new user account (System Preferences > Accounts; click the lock icon to authenticate, then the "+" icon). Log out of your account (under the Apple menu) and log into the new account. Run Mail and set up the Adelphia account. Can you send from here? To avoid confusion, don't receive mail in the new account -- look at Mail > Preferences > General and the check for new mail option to prevent an automatic receive.
Possibility: There's something else going on on your system
While sending a large message you know will fail, watch your system with Activity Monitor (in Applications/Utilities). Be sure the popup at top says All Processes, then click the % CPU column to show heavy CPU users. What is using your system? How much CPU is used? How much free disk space and free RAM is there? (The latter two items are under the Disk Usage and System Memory tabs at the bottom.)
Possibility: the connection to Adelphia is a problem
Web browsing is OK? You say that web mail works fine. Would you notice a drop out of your network connection for, say, five seconds while browsing the web? That's long enough to interrupt mail but short enough that you might just put it down to a slow page load. Watch network activity in Activity Monitor, the Network tab at the bottom. Does it drop to zero for a while before Mail fails?
If you can try the suggestions and answer the questions, I think we'll whittle this down enough to propose a solution.

Cannot change signatures in mail since updated to yosemite

Since updated to yosemite I cannot change the signatures in Mail.

I cannot print emails with the recent update of Firefox on my Mac os10.8.5 but I can on my Macbook Pro os 10.5.8 and Firefox 16.0.2. How can I print with #1?

I followed the "HELP" suggestion but it said "server not found"

Hello  ,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
<b>WARNING:</b>Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

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):
