Cannot send emails,  because the server does allow relaying

since i've updated IOS 7 I cannot send emails,  because the server does NOT allow relaying.  None of the proposed solutions helped.

Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Your Account > Account Name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and enter your email account and password. See if doing that fixes things.

    I changed my server at the end of May & all worked well until the past week end since when I am getting a message saying that I cannot get email because the server will not connect - although it does. It also claims that it was last backed up on Friday last despite having had several emails since Friday. What has happened & can I get email back to normal?

    It means that you did not set up the outgoing (SMTP) mail server for your email account correctly. Most likely you did not enter your email address and password because it said "optional". It isn't optional.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

    OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages - Apple Support
    Google Mail recently implemented additional security measures "for your protection" of course. The manifestation of that may be the requirement to create a unique, "application-specific" password for each one of the various Google services you may use. That requirement probably includes Google Mail. So if the above Apple Support document doesn't resolve the problem, research Google's application-specific password requirements, and how to configure Mail to use it.
    I asked the Hosts to edit or obscure the email address in your post.

  • HT1277 I can recieve emails but I can't send them out.  The blue bar at the bottom left of the Mail page gets half way across and then the pop-up "Cannot send message using the server" comes up?  What do I do?

    I have my Yahoo Mail "poped" over to Apple Mail.  I can recieve emails but I can't send them out.  The blue bar at the bottom left of the Mail page gets half way across and then the pop-up "Cannot send message using the server" comes up?  What do I do?

    Your outgoing mail server is different than your incoming server. Usually the outgoing mail server will have smtp in it. I noticed yours said "cannot send message using the server mail.wavecable.com". That sounds like an incoming mail server. Try setting your outgoing mail server to smtp.wavecable.com
    I hope that helps.

  • OSX Mail - Cannot send message using the server ....

    Hi there,
    Mac Pro with OSX 10.6.
    *Can receive mail, but can no longer send email* using the program Mail.
    Been getting the popup "Cannot send message using the server [shawmail.vc.shawcable.net] for the past 3 days. I hadn't changed anything about my computer, and have had the Mac for 2+ years. So this just started doing it on it's own.
    I had a technical support guy from my service provider even interface with my computer, where he could see my desktop right over the internet, and he couldn't get it fixed either.
    I googled this problem, and found solutions like:
    1. Uncheck "Use SSL" (Done that, and it was never checked "on" to begin with)
    2. Make sure Authentication is set to none, with no password (done that, and it wasn't set with a password to begin with)
    3. Delete [user]/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (done that, didn't do anything)
    4. We even totally deleted my account, and started a new fresh one. Didn't work
    The tech support guy did show me a way to email online, using the same email account. That worked, but it's a hassle to go onto a web-based email program -- it's not my preference. So, with great certainty, it's not my service provider, because I was able to send emails on this web-based email program using my email account.
    So there, I'm stumped.
    Hopefully someone can help. What's bizarre is that googling this problem, I have found many other people that say it happens arbitrarily, out of nowhere.

    I can't believe how ridiculous this issue is. i have been searching for days for a solution to this. i have tried EVERY recommendation on these forums and nothing works. It appears that this issue dates back to TIGER. I had this problem back in January and just bagged figuring it had something to do with iweb. I bought a new html program and was able to send out my newsletter last month no problem. Suddenly, one month later- here i am again, unable to send out my newsletter with no help from Apple or verizon, or these forims, or anyone else. To think that a company that I have stood behind and loved so much can't be be bothered fixing such a simple issue that has been going on now through  5 OS's (I am using Lion but I had the issue using leopard as well)  is a disgrace.

  • Exchange 2007 / Outlook 2013 "Your Automatic Reply Settings Cannot Be Displayed Because The Server Is Unavailable"

    One of our users is having problems setting replies from Outlook on his local PC.  This is an SBS 2008 Server with Exchange 2007.  The client PC is running Windows 8 with Outlook 2013.  This issue doesn't seem to affect other users but this
    is the only client with Outlook 2013.
    When trying to set an automatic reply from within Outlook 2013 we get the "Your automatic reply settings cannot be displayed because the server is unavailable".  Outlook seems to be connecting and working fine so connection to the server does
    exist.
    Trying this same operation from owa works without issue.  Please let me know what we need to do to find a solution.
    Thanks so much!

    Problem: 
    IMAP downloads inbox don't work after November patches.
    If you install a fresh OS and O2K13 unpatched ,the IMAP works fine.
    Fully patched O2K10 works fine too.
    It worked for my customer until November patch Tuesday broke the IMAP sync.
    Consultant opened case. 
    Response from Microsoft:
            This is with regards to the issue faced by you due to regression         caused by November security update. This is further to inform         you
    that fix is out and below is the download links for 32 bit         and 64 bit of the office suites. You need to apply all 3 hotfix.         The crash issue and IMAP issue would get resolved
    immediately         while the issue related to Free / Busy and OOF not getting set         would take 24-36 hours to start working once the patch is        
    applied.

  • Cannot send message using the server (null)

    i use mail 2.1.
    i have a .mac account and have three other email accounts attached to my mail account.
    lately, i cannot send any email.
    the switchiing ports fix hasn't helped either.
    this is the error message:
    CANNOT SEND MESSAGE USING THE SERVER (null)
    The server response was: 5.1.0 <email [email protected]>...
    From address does not match authentication.
    Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server. All messages will use this server until you quit Mail or change your network settings.
    Message from: email <[email protected]>
    Send message using: [there is a combo box here with all the four accounts servers listed]
    no matter which one i pick it doesn't work and no email is sent.
    anyone have this error before? or now how to fix it?
    i'd be appreciative.
    thanks

    I was having a similar problem (don't feel like typing all the details)
    I was about to to delete my com.apple.mail.plist, when finally it hit me.
    I ran ethereal (again, I'm sorry, but learning how to use ethereal is a topic unto itself). Following the TCP stream (ie. looking at the smtp messages being sent back and forth) I came across two problems. For some reason my port number was set to 567 or something like that, when it's supposed to be 25, as I had originally set it to.
    Once I corrected the port number I started receiving an error message from the smtp server. It said the return email address could not be authenticated. (using xyz.com as an example) The correct return email address was supposed to be [email protected], but for some reason it was changed to john@xyz in the account settings.
    Anyway, to get to the point, another thing to check is that your return address has been set correctly, and if all else fails, make sure you have X11 installed and use fink to install and run ethereal. This will let you know if you are actually connecting to the server, and will show you any error messages.
    PS. I think this problem started occurring with the last update made to mail. I believe it somehow corrupted my settings. This would explain how my port number could have been changed to the default port number of .mac mail.

    I tried to send it through gmail and the acct is  a POP acct
    I'm not concerned about sending to the long address list. I just can't get the email and window that says "cannot send emai using the server..." to go away. The default must be "retry", because although I cannot see the choices at the bottom of the window if I hit return it trys again... and then of course comes back with the very long pop up window that I cannot see the bottom of so I can tell it to quit trying...

  • "Cannot send message using the server....."

    Hi all,
    Considering the nature of the problem I am about to relate I would have to say at the outset that I would be very very surprised if other people have not come across this problem, so here goes...
    We have around 60 users of Apple Mail from both 10.4 and 10.5, so varying degrees of versions of Apple Mail however most if not all are updated to 10.4.11 and 10.5.2.
    We have been plagued with people being frustrated about emails bouncing back with an immediate error which is basically the following...
    "Cannot send message using the server smtp.xxx.com:user
    Sending the message content to the server failed.
    Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below etc etc"
    I am sure a lot of you have seen this error.
    However, it is totally random but I am at the end of my tether with it. It generally revolves around emails with attachments and can be totally random. I was trying to send a screenshot today, very small screenshot, using the Apple-Shift-4 technique, sent the .png file, then saved it out as a .jpg, nothing. Tiny file, around 5k. Got the error above, took it out, sent no problem. Other similar files on the desktop refused to send but a .pdf did. I then thought it might be our server, so sent teh same attachments using my .mac account. Same result and failed to send. Reports from other users in our group show that they too get random results, maybe moving the attachment in the email makes it go, sometimes putting it before your signature, sometimes putting your signature copied and pasted in so many times makes it work, all sorts of methods but all resulting in the same conclusion, Apple Mail can be very unreliable.
    We have even migrated some users to Entourage and the problem disappears. Even to Thunderbird, but those users miss the search capability as it is quicker and more reliable. So they want to go back.
    Considering I have been struggling with this issue back in the day when we were on the Apple Mail related version in 10.4 I was hoping that the version released in 10.5 would remedy the problems. Sometimes I feel it has just got worse.
    Is anyone else experiencing this sort of difficulty in Apple Mail, I really feel isolated and at a loss with how to remedy this for so many users.
    If anyone can share their experiences and how they have got around similar issues in Mail I am all ears and open to any suggestions.
    Thanks everyone for taking the time to read through this. There is more but the experiences are so random it is not worth trying to put it all down.
    Thanks again.
    Gerry McCoy

    I went in to Connection Doctor and. oddly enough, for this Mac account it said I was on Port 25. Si I changed it to Port 587 and saved the changes.
    Still, I have the same problem with the same error messages.
    I go back to the mail preferences > Accounts > Advanced and it shows Port 143 still there grayed out.
    What about SSL - it's not checked.
    Odd that this problem only seems to be from one .mac account emailing to another .mac account. Could the server be down?

  • Out of Office error: 'Your automatic reply settings cannot be displayed because the server is currently unavailable. Try again later.'

    Hi,
    This is my first post in the forums. Please forgive me if it's in the wrong category or if it's not posted correctly in any way.
    I'll try and give you below as much information about the problem we have here as I can.
    What we have:
    - an on-premises Windows 2012 Standard server that is the PDC, DNS and DHCP server;
    - a second Windows 2012 Standard server with the sole purpose of hosting our Exchange 2013 CU7 server;
    - Windows 7 PCs with Office Home and Business 2010 v.14.0.7143.5000 (32-bit);
    - Outlook 2010 connects through Outlook Anywhere (mail.ourdomain.com).
    The problem:
    If trying to set up Out of Office through Outlook on the client PCs, we'd get an error message: 'Your automatic reply settings cannot be displayed because the server is currently unavailable. Try again later.' Interestingly, it does work normally for some users.
    It works fine for all users if done through OWA.
    Tests performed:
    User 1 on PC1 has the problem. User 2 on PC2 doesn't have the problem. Both users are members of the same security groups.
    - setting up User 2 on PC 1: the problem exists;
    - setting up User 1 on PC 2: the problem exists;
    - setting up a second Outlook profile on PC2 within User 2's domain account (the one that works), for the same User 2: the problem still exists!
    I haven't been able to set up an Outlook account that works since this issue was discovered, although there are existing Outlook accounts that do not have the issue.
    Let me also point out we have another issue we are working on and which may or may not be related: the Autodiscover function in Outlook doesn't work. Test E-mail AutoConfiguration results in 'Autoconfiguration was unable to determine your settings!'.
    I can see postings in the Internet of other people having the same problem with OoO, but couldn't see a solution that fits my case: some existing accounts in Outlook are fine, other are not and newly created profiles of aforementioned working accounts do not
    work. The majority of the articles/threads I read suggest recreating the Virtual Directories in Exchange, but we did that just a month ago (when troubleshooting the Autodiscover problem) and besides if the problem is in the Virtual Directories, I would expect
    it to affect all accounts.
    Any help in resolving this problem would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you need other details.
    Apologies if the posting is not in the right place or not done properly - I'm still learning.

    The IIS log files on the CAS might tell you something. Depending on how your proxy server handles NAT the IP address of your connection might be from the proxy server instead of your client.
    In any case, a tool like Fiddler (http://www.telerik.com/fiddler) can be extremely helpful in working on problems like this because it can decode the SSL traffic on the client and you can see what's being sent
    and what's being received.
    Another thing to check (although it's unlikely to be your case) is whether or not your browser (when you try connecting to the autodiscover URL) thinks it's in the "Internet" zone. the "Local intranet", or at a "Trusted" site.
    The domain names you use on machines on your LAN should be excluded from being proxyed. Anything with "." in the name will be set, unless excluded, to the proxy server.
    Is the time correct on the client machine? Is it more than 5 minutes different to the Exchange machines and domain controllers? That'd be something that would cause Kerberos to fail.
    A certificate can be a problem if its expired or if it doesn't have the correct names. But I wouldn't worry about the uglog.com domain just yet. Until you get the Autodiscover working with the SCP you have bigger problems.
    If you've never used a WPAD file then don't worry about it. It's very useful if you have a complex network and you want to manage how browsers connect to servers. For example, if you have multiple proxy servers the each manage a different set of names, an/or
    if some names should bypass proxy servers entirely and just connect directly. If run a strictly Microsoft network with only Microsoft product that you can manage with GPOs (and you can enforce those GPOs on every machine -- even the BYOD ones) you probably
    don't need a WPAD.

  • Outlook 2013: Your Automatic Reply Settings Cannot Be Displayed Because The Server Is Unavailable

    When I configure the Outlook profile manually then receive warning "Your Automatic Reply Settings Cannot Be Displayed Because The Server Is Unavailable" when clicking "Automatic Replies (Out of Office)".
    However if I use Autodiscover to configure the Outlook profile the above does not occur and "Automatic Replies (Out of Office)" works fine.
    Client: Outlook 2013 Click-to-Run version 15.0.4551.1011 on Windows 7 Pro SP1.
    Server: Exchange 2007 SP3 on Windows SBS 2008 SP2.

    Hi,
    First of all, please make sure you have installed this Outlook 2013 hotfix package (December 10, 2013):
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2825652/en-us
    It may fix the issue.
    If the hotfix doesn't help, please note, this problem can occur after your primary SMTP address changes. The problem occurs because your previous primary SMTP address is cached in the Windows registry under your Outlook profile and this information does
    not get refreshed for 24-48 hours after the SMTP address change.
    So please make sure you have configured smtp address correctly, or, we can find some workarounds from the link below:

    When trying to send messages of 5-10MB using my Apple Mail, it sends fine when on my home connection. But when on my (3G) mobile datacard, it seems to get half or 3/4s the way, but doesn't quite make it to the end, then times out with the message "Cannot Send Message Using The Server...". It seems that the Apple Mail doesn't allow enough time before deciding to cancel the attempted send. Is there a way to fix this eg by changing settings?

    I'm seeing something similar here (using an Exchange 2007 server -- SMTP works just fine). Unfortunately, I have no solution to offer. I would be glad to hear of any, though.
