Cannot send mail out

30 Oct 2012
All of a sudden, I cannot send mails out from MAIL.
I can still receive mails though.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, etc. I use Gmail, for instance, even though I could get an account through my ISP. The nice thing about web-based accounts is that they travel with you. Most have a website page devoted to configuring your email properly for both incoming and outgoing mail servers. You may have something as simple as a port misconfiguration.
So who do you have this account with?

TS4002 Cannot send mail out :(

the incoming mail server field is not active, meaning I am unable to click on it and make changes, but the field is blank and when I got to save my password a prompt comes up and says you can't leave the field blank, but I can't input anything there!!! So frustrated... My mail was working fine earlier and all of a sudden for no apparent reason at all it stopped working.

Jana, I haven't been able to figure this out yet on my mac, BUT I needed to access my mail asap, so was able to log into icloud.com and get my mail. Obviously not a long term solution, but if you really need to access your email or send email out now, this option might help.

Able to receive mail in but cannot send mail out

Have followed all instructions setting up Orange mail and entered details for both incoming and outgoing servers.
Mail comes in OK but when I reply or write a new email I receive a message:
" A copy has been placed in your outbox. The recipient xxxxxxx was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying"
xxxxx is the mail addres I want to send to, however it's all email addresses I want to send to, not just one specific address.
How can I overcome this please?

So into Setting for the email account on your iPad. Go to advanced settings and make sure SSL is on. See if that works. Some accounts may have off. This works in hotmail which is a POP3 account.

I cannot send mail out

I just got my new mac book pro, and I am unable to send any messages. I am able to write them but I can't send anything back

Appears this is a .Mac account which is not provided by your ISP.
Most ISPs now block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP on Port 25 (which is the common port for SMTP servers). Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only (such as the .Mac SMTP server) on Port 25 but some block its use regardless.
These restrictions are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
First thing to try.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below for the .Mac SMTP server.
Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
If this is not successful, you need to create/add your ISP's SMTP server to the Mail.app and select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send messages with your .Mac account which is invisible to all recipients.

My Mail goes offline and I cannot send mail out

I have two email accounts I use with my mail. I have my Gmail college account and my Outlook College account. I am using OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
Here is the Screenshot of what pops up when I try to send the mail:
I have tried looking through the options and taking them both offline and bringing them back. I have even deleted both accounts and created them again. I've checked the numbers from the information on the email pages and I'm just incredibly frusturated because I need to communicate with my schools and professors.

lots of people seem to be havgin a problem sending email from iCloud webmail.
does your email address have uppercase characters in it?
if so, try creating an alias in lowercase (go to preferences in iCloud webmail and select 'accounts') and see if email sends okay from that

Cannot Send Mail from my iPhone 4s

I am no longer able to send out replies or new emails from my phone, this is very recent and I have tried everything I know of.. But I am not THAT tech-savvy.
So, anyways, when I go to send an email or reply to one, I get a pop-up box that says "Cannot Send Mail - The username or password for "said"-hotmail account is incorrect." So then I go to the settings enter my correct password for my hotmail account, it accepts it, and try again. Same pop-box appears, even though my password and username are both correct. I know that they are correct because I am able to receive email with no problems at all.
Is this a fixable problem or should I call Apple or take my phone in directly to them and have one of the techs look at it ?
Thanks;
Odyssy

Problems with sending mail is rooted in the settings for the SMTP server. There are places in this that say the username and password are optional, but normally are required by many email providers. Go back into the SMTP server settings and check all of the areas. I also agree with Doctor9fan to check your SSL settings. If you cannot get it to work like this, then remove the account from the device and add it back. As you complete the creation, make sure the account verifies. You can also check the Microsoft site to make sure settings are correct for Hotmail.

I updated to 5.0 today and now when I try to email from my phone, I am thwarted by the pop-up, "cannot send mail. a copy has been placed in my outbox. the recipient (email address) was rejected by the server. I need help, please.

I updated to 5.0 today.
Now, when I try to email from my phone, I am block, thwarted, rejected by the following message:
Cannot Send Mail
A copy has been placed in your Out Box. The recipient (enter email here) was rejected by the server.
This happens with my business address. Receiving works.... sending doesn't.
My SBC Global address on this same phone is fine...receiving and sending.
What to do? I'm stressed.

Hi,
I had the same issue on my iPhone 5S. My internet/email provider told me to uncheck (turn off) USE SSL under Mail settings, and it worked perfectly for me.

Cannot Send Mail using AIM account.

I can receive mail fine but when I try to send mail I get the following message:
Cannot send mail using the server smtp.aim.com:EmilyLozano.
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: Emily Lozano <[email protected]>
I left for a trip a few days ago, came back and now for no apparent reason cannot send mail as I always have. I have reconfigured the port to 587 and that did not help. Any suggestions? (I can send and receive fine via the web, but I really hate it.)

I'm glad you got it figured out. So many times people on this forum sit around waiting for help when they could have retraced their steps, like you did, to figure out the source of the problem.

Cannot send mail from iPhone using Godaddy account/email

Was working perfectly until recently. Incoming mail still ok.
Now get error message when sending mail "Cannot Send Mail - The connection to the outgoing server "smtpout.secureserver.net" failed.
Have tried various fixes including using cwmx.com server, other ports and SSL on and off but no luck.
Have spoken to Godaddy support but they can't help as say must be local issue with iPhone.
Is GoDaddyGuy out there?

SizzyB and Joe,
I've read over your posts and see that you've both tried a few different troubleshooting steps with our support. The next step would be removing the whole email address from your iPhone and setting it back up. When you set up the email address, you should use the step by step walk through instructions available at http://help.godaddy.com/article/3423.
SizzyB, please note that cwmx.com is an AT&T specific server. Your UK provider might list a comparable SMTP server as a default or you might need to contact them to get their settings.
Joe, I would also like to note that you would specifically need to have our Unlimited email plan to utilize the IMAP service feature.
If either of you have further issues, please post the full details (including any errors messages you receive) and we'll continue to work on a solution.

Just updated to os x 10.9.2 on 3/5/2014 and i cannot send mail does anyone know how to fix this

i just updated to osx 10.9.2 on 3/5/2014 and i cannot send mail
does anyone know how to fix this (the smpt shows as off line - the certificate shows as none)

i figured out a solution if anyone is having the same problem
go to preferences in mail
pick the mail account that is not sending
if your outgoing mail server states it offline as mine did
click the dropdown and than click edit smtp
a window will come up that says account information and advanced
click advanced
renter your password and ok
restart your computer - when it restarts it will send emails

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.

Cannot send mail - server does not allow relaying

I keep getting a sporadic error message on my ipad: "cannot send mail. The recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying". Sometimes it doesn't happen and the mail sends fine. Sometimes I get the error message but the message then sends later. Sometimes it never sends.
Can anyone help?

Hi, I've suddenly encountered this problem. I have a 1st gen iPad. I've reset, deleted, re-added, turned on both outgoing servers, added my password--this last doesn't stay in the primary outgoing server field; when I go back in, the password field is filled with the (optional) text again and when I 'click' into the authentication box, the password is no longer checked. However, these are all filled in the secondary outgoing server, so it shouldn't matter. Restarted the iPad a couple times. Using system 5.1.1--I think that's as far as I can go. Any miracles out there?
