Cannot send mail but get receive mail

Cannot send mail but can receivr mail

I had this problem, too, when I took my laptop to work and tried to send mail using their wireless settings. (I have never had this problem with wireless internet at home.) After a lot of research it appeared to be a port issue. Apple and Yahoo directed me to contact AT&T, my email server provider, to inquire if there was another port setting or off-line port that could be used. This turned out to be too complicated because I had to get my boss's wireless codes, etc. I got around the whole thing by logging into my email through Yahoo rather than Apple's Mail program. This allowed me to send emails at work with no problems. Hope this helps.

Suddenly cannot send email but can receive email

I am running OSX 10.8.2 on a MacPro desktop. I have been using Mail sucessfuly since I originally installed Mountain Lion but now it suddenly has stopped working. I have confirmed and reconfirmed my SMPT settings but have failed to send any mail. I sucessfully sent an email one week ago and have not completed any updates since. Suddenly "Mail" has taken a vacation and refused to send any mail. This has failed using POP, SMPT, EXCHANGE and IMAP.
I am now getting an error message indicating:
"The sender address [email protected] was rejected by the server smtp.gmail.com.
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 sent."
I have confirmed my settings are correct with my service providers. I get this message from all of the email accounts that I use. I know the mail settings are right because I can send mail from these accounts using my iPhone,iPad, and Widows laptop without issues.
Attempting to change ports as suggested in previous posts has worked on one "send" test email but has refused to operate since. I noticed that "Mail" will sometimes unilaterally change the outgoing server addresses on it own.
The same issues come up when I tried to configure MS Oultlook:MAC 2011 tehrefore I suspect a problem originating with Mountain Lion and not the email clients.
I checked for APPLE updates to my system and everything comes back as completely current with no updates available. Any ideas?

Hello,
All dot.Mac and Dot.Me account have migrated to iCloud.
You should have been given details of expiry for the .Mac account to iCloud. Apple have now shut .Me and .Mac account for web access.

Cannot send iMessage, but I receive them.

My friend switched from Android to iPhone 5s. When he texts me, I receive it as an iMessage on my 5c, but when I respond, it is sent as an SMS. How can I make my messages go through as iMessages?
I have already turned iMessage off and back on.
I am using iOS 7.0.4
I can send iMessages to my other contacts who have iPhones. It is just this one contact.

Hi Snerts,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you are not sending imessages to one contact. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps
Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you selected iMessage for use. If the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use, troubleshoot iMessage registration.
Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. If a data connection isn't available, troubleshoot cellular data or a Wi-Fi connection.
iMessage over cellular data might not be available while you're on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn which network your phone supports. If your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while you're on a call.
Restart your device.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
If you still can't send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
Make sure that the contact you're trying to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
Back up and restore your device as new.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Mario

Problem: Cannot send mail unless Password is transmitted insecurely & Port is set to 587.. Can receive mail but can't send..

Problem: Cannot send mail unless Password is transmitted insecurely & Port is set to 587.. Can receive mail but can't send Code 501..
Need help with T-bird.. My OS is Win XP-64..Have been using Mozilla for about 10 years with little or no problems.. This happened when I upgraded to 3.17.. Spent hours on T-Bird diagnostics web site.. Called Comcast & talked to a net tech.. he ran some tests on his end & had me log into my Comcast e-mail account & all worked well,, so he concluded the problem was in T-Bird.. He had me change my port to 587 & disable connection security & authentication to none & I was able to send mail.. That was all he could do.. Comcast was working.. the problem is in T-Bird.. Can any one help with this problem.. I don't want to send mail with my password transmitted insecurely..
Thanks
Richard

It was not intended to be "snide". You said two separate things that at face value would be out of the ordinary.
I considered if it might be a typo for 31.7. Since 31.5 is the current formal release, I would have to thank you for volunteering to test a pre-release beta version. If it was truly 3.1.7 then it would appear that you have chosen, or have become stuck with a somewhat ancient version. In either case it's harder to reach out to you with any meaningful comments or advice. However I do watch various other sites and newsgroups and I don't see a clamour of distressed users, so it seems fair to suppose that this feature isn't actually broken in 31.7.
And you said XP 64. XP is obsolete and no longer supported and if there is a 64-bit version, then again you have set yourself apart from the mainstream.
I had a look at the comcast site and found some puzzling recommendations. Some users come here asking how to set up a secured connection in Thunderbird when it isn't offered by the server. Comcast are different, in that they mention the ports 143 and 587, and also 993 and 465. So far so good, in that security is actually on offer, but they also suggest that you enable SSL, regardless of which port is being used. It would be unusual and unconventional to offer TLS or SSL on ports 143 and 587. STARTTLS would be more credible on these ports.
Have you tried IMAP on 993 and SMTP on 465? SMTP on 587 with SSL, or TLS, is not impossible, but is improbable.

All of a sudden I cannot send mail but I still receive it. Help?

All of a sudden I cannot send mail although I still receive. Anyone have an answer to this?

Do you get an error message?
You can go back into the mail account settings and scroll to the outgoing mail server and see if you can enter a password, same one as your incoming mail server.

I can receive mail, but I cannot send mail, my mobile broadband is 3 and my server is BT

I can receive mail, but I cannot send mail, my mobile broadband is 3 and my server is BT. I have been to the Apple Store today. They did not resove my problem. Can anybody help?

Try this. Check the primary outgoing mail server username and password and make sure that they are in the settings even if it says that they are optional.
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if you can then send emails.

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

IPad receives mail just fine, but cannot send mail

I am using a POP3 server with shaw (the server for both incoming and outgoing mail is shawmail.vc.shawcable.net) and, as stated in the title, my iPad will not send any mail. It refuses to interact with the SMTP server. It says "Cannot Send Mail The connection to the outgoing server "shawmail.vc.shawcable.net" failed. Additional Outgoing Mail Servers can be configured in Settings > Mail, Contacts Calendars."
I have already tried everything that I have found already suggested on these forums and others, including inputting both a username and password for the SMTP server, changing the port to 25, and restarting my iPad after each of these changes. All of the settings on the iPad match those on my mail program perfectly (which works without a hitch, and has been for some time now.) I am connected by Wi-Fi to my home network, the exact same router I use to get my mail on my personal computer.
One other detail: whenever I change the settings for the SMTP server in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, it says that the SMTP server does not support password verification, which is just plain untrue. What is wrong with my iPad?

What did your email provider, Shaw, say or suggest about settings needed for the iPad?

TS3276 I cannot send mail but i do receive it

I cannot send mail but do recieve it, what do I write in Imap path prefix?

Oh, its not as "strange" as you might think.
The problem is SPAM. Internet Service Provider (ISPs) are struggling to prevent outsiders - or their own customers - from sending huge amounts of SPAM.
To do this, they have to make regular changes to how e-mail is handled. My guess, based on what you have told me so far, is that your ISP has made a change to how e-mails are sent.
This means you have to find out what that change was and adjust your Mail account settings. Hopefully your ISP has a "Support" web page where there is a step-by-step How To document that will lead you through this.

Cannot send mail. Receiving is no problem

When I send mail I get the message :Cannot send Mail. The sender address was invalid. Then it says 1 unsent message.
All accounts work with office and have been updated with iTunes. What is wrong?
Thanks and regards

I am having the same problem with my POP mail. I receive but cannot send. It always say's "invalid address" but I can send with hotmail. I think it is an smtp problem but I cannot solve. Anyone have an idea?

IPhone4 when replying or forwarding mail messages i get a message that says Cannot Send Mail address rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying

When forwarding mail this is what i get
Cannot Send Mail
A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The recipent _________________(email address) was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying.
Never had this problem before so not sure whats going on. Appreciate any help out there.

Sounds like there is something wrong with your SMTP server. Try going into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>select the email account in question, go to the Outgoing server (SMTP) and check the settings. It may be you do not have a username and password in one of the areas. The phone may say optional in a couple, but it is usually mandatory. You can also try a reset on the device, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. If neither of these work, then you will need to delete the account, then delete the SMTP server, then add the account back, ensuring you use your username and password everywhere, even when it says optional.

Getting "Cannot Send Mail - One of the Recipient Addresses was Invalid"

Mail was working fine under version 1. Upgraded my original iPhone to version 2 and couldn't send emails. Get "CANNOT SEND MAIL. ONE OF THE RECIPIENT ADDRESSES WAS INVALID. OK" message whenever I attempt to respond to an incoming email or when sending a new email. Sometimes "Sending" progress bar goes all the way to the end, but I still get this error message and mail is NOT sent. This is still the case after I upgraded to 2.02 HELP!

I have since removed the email account and added it again. I tried this several times and came to the realization that the Apple iPhone software was not setting the account up properly. I saved the account even though I was warned by the software that it was not working properly. I then went ahead and carefully edited all the settings and made sure that they matched EXACTLY with those in MS Outlook. I also set Authentication to Password on both incoming at outgoing servers.
I finally got it working. What a pain!!

Getting message cannot send mail check server setting

Trying to get email to send out, but getting a message saying cannot send...check outgoing server setting...
Anybody???
Penni

Do you have any other mail accounts on your iPad? If so you can select another server from the options.
Go to settings again and select Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Then select your mail account from the window on the right side. Then tap on the email address of the account to open the next window that shows the account information. Then there should be heading titled Outgoing Mail Server. You can tap the arrow to the right of the server name in that field to get to the next window that shows other servers. Try to select one from there and see if that works.
I keep forgetting about this as well. It has provided help to others.
