Cannot send mail from any mail account

I have a Mac Mini, late 2014 model, running OS X Yosemite version 10.10.2. I have constant difficulty sending mail from any of my mail accounts; these are iCloud, Googlemail, Yahoo and a personal one which uses 123-reg.co.uk. I am currently located in Greece, but have been having trouble for ages, even in the UK. I can receive mail, but I don't seem able to send it. Error message is usually simply cannot send mail using this server, select a different server. However, when connection doctor is run, all servers appear to be connected and I am logged in. Any ideas please?

Hi, not sure why that is relevant, but we arrived at the end of January this year. Here is a screen shot of a recurring problem, although in this case Gmail is not connected to the internet, which it usually is. Hope this helps.
Your outgoing Gmail servers not working, everything else seems OK.
So, what is not working for you (other than Gmail Sending)

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!

Cannot send Emails from AOL (Mail App) Only Recieve

For some time now i cannot seem to send emails from my AOL on the app (Mac Mail). I can receive ok, but not send. It remains in my outbox then a message appears:
Cannot send message using the server AOL
This operation couldn't be completed (MCMaiErrorDomain error 1030)
I then run the Connection Doctor:
I get a Green light for Incoming mail (AOL IMAP)
I get a Red light for outgoing (AOL SMTP)
The message i get is:
'Trying to log in to this AOL SMTP account failed. Verify that the username and password are correct'
I have tried all the trouble shooting regarding checking the passwords, changing the passwords. Uninstalled and reinstalled. I can log on via the web ok and send and receive . I believe it happened when i updated the computer some time back because my Macbook does the same now as well as this iMac.
In the Outgoing Mail Server SMTP it reads: AOL (Offline)
In the drop down i goto edit server and this is what is showing:
Description Server Name In Use By Account
AOL smtp.aol.com AOL
In the Advanced section i have Port: 587
Box checked for 'SSL'
Box checked for 'Automatically detect and maintain account settings'
Box unchecked for 'Allow insecure authentication'
Any help would be much appreciated as this is becoming extremely frustrating

Cannot send email from the Mail App?

I've had an izymail subscription for 1 year and just renewed it last week. I could never send an email from my Mail App without a window popping up stating "izymail cannot connect to the server" and the sending bar (along the bottom of the screen) just freezes and will not send.
I've a Hotmail account linked up to izymail. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

I fixed my problem - I deleted my email account on my iPhone, then tried to setup a new account. I had a few problems setting it up. It wouldn't recognize the incoming or outgoing servers and I lost my email altogether for a few hours. Then I changed every setting possible and finally figured out that I had 2-3 "Other SMTP Servers" as well as my "Primary Server". Once I deleted the Other SMTP Servers, my email worked and i'm able to send emails now!
I also think changing the "Server Port" number helped solve my problem also, and making sure "Use SSL" was turned off.

I cannot send email from iPhone -- my account is with aol

I tried to send an email to myself and I got a message that said "Cannot Send Mail the sender address (my address) was rejected by the server". It says that no matter who I send mail to.
I am not very technically oriented -- so if someone answers me I hope they will give it to me in simple terms
I am receiving email -- although some of it says "not downloaded from server" and some of it says "no message content". Most of the email I receive comes through ok
I have not yet figured how to make the Wi-fy come on so have just been using Edge. I have had the phone for 5 days.
I can live without wi-fy -- but I really would like to be able to send an email. I have a new Mac (my 5th) Hope someone can help.

After I posted my message I found a discussion that said to get my wi-fy to work all I had to do was to:
go to settings
go to general
go to reset
reset network settings
and
for good measure I also
reset all settings
I did this and now my wi-fy works like a charm -- and the emails that I sent went through, even though it said they didn't -- but now I am not receiving any emails -- the little thing just goes around and around like it is searching for emails -- it has been doing that now for a while. I turned off the wi-fy and let it go to edge and itstill can't pick up any emails -- It has transferred no email to my iphone since I reset! I love my iPhone -- but I would sure like to get everything to work at once.
Thank you for your post and help.

Does someone has the same issue?

How to sync contacts and calendar with CloudMagic?
....Security must be blocking CloudMagic from accessing contacts&calendar.You're using contacts from the Gmail account I suppose.
Go to the Security app>Privacy Guard and set CloudMagic as ''Trusted'' or grant CloudMagic access to Personal information.
Then go to Settings>scroll down to Accounts and resync the Google and CloudMagic accounts.
Let me know how it goes.
Cheers

Sub-account cannot send email from Apple Mail

I've tried setting up two sub-accounts to send/receive email but no matter what I try, these accounts error out on sending email. Looks like they aren't recognized by smtp server. Is there a different setting for sub-accounts?

I fixed my problem - I deleted my email account on my iPhone, then tried to setup a new account. I had a few problems setting it up. It wouldn't recognize the incoming or outgoing servers and I lost my email altogether for a few hours.

Cannot send email from yahoo mail client

I cannot open or send or attach anything to my email in the yahoo mail. I know there's nothing wrong with the email because it works on my laptop, just not on my computer. Could there be a setting problem, or a cookie problem or something?
I also cannot open Bonjour to see my printer settings. Everything was working fine yesterday.

outgoing mail server
SMTP - Yahoo! SMTP Server
primary server
Yahoo! SMTP server - ON
server port 465
That's what I have for my yahoo account.

Cannot send message (from mac mail) using the server iCloud

My Mac Mail send stopped working during a large number of mail sends yesterday.Could that be an issue? If so, what to do?
Message further reads - The sender address [email protected] was rejected by the server smtp.mail.me.com.
I deleted the account and set it up again, but still can't get the mail out. Same messages
If I go on to iCloud, mail send is working fine.
Can anyone see anything wrong or suggest what to do?
I've deleted the user name below for the screenshot.
Thanks in anticipation.

There is no user name entered in your SMTP (advanced) preferences.

I cannot send money from my PayPal account

I want to send money to another PayPal user but I fail each time. Maybe anyone can advise how I can do that? My account was created in Germany but now I am in Armenia. Please, help me out.

Paypal is country specific so if you move country you have to open another paypal account in that country and add an address / phone number / and bank accounts from within that country.
The only exception is U.S users can add their bank accounts to other countries paypal accounts. ************************************** I give up my time to help you so a thank you or kudos would be cool.
Marking one of my replies as a solution would be appreciated if I sorted your problem.
