Cannot send mail with .mac

I can receive mail with .mac account, but not send mail. I can send and receive mail using another account. Has something changed with .mac?

This issue is most probably related to your Internet Service Provider.
Several Internet Service Providers are blocking the use of smtp servers (like smtp.mac.com) by their customer for secury purpose allowing only their own smtp server.
First, you should check with your ISP if he his blocking smtp servers. If he do, just use the smtp server of your ISP. That's what I need to do from my home.

CANNOT SEND MAIL FROM .MAC SMTP ACCOUNT

Hello everyone--
I can receive mail from my .mac account and have done extensive troubleshooting including:
1. Changing ports from 25 to 587
2. Deleting and re-installing mailbox
3. Reading a hosts of topics
4. I have the serving settings with SSL unchecked
...but this still giving me the same trouble. I cannot send out because my email address keeps getting rejected.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Are you also accessing an email account and SMTP server in Mail that is provided by your ISP used for connecting to the internet?
If so, can you send mail with this account and SMTP server?
If the answer is yes to both questions, select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send mail with your .Mac account which is invisible to all recipients.
Most, if not all ISPs now block the use of SMTP servers outside of their network on Port 25. Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only (such as the .Mac SMTP server) that is outside of their network on Port 25 but some block its use regardless.
Changing the Port for the SMTP server that is outside of the ISP's network from 25 to 587 usually resolves it but sometimes not depending on the ISP's restriction.
Have you contacted your ISP regarding their restrictions and/or requirements when using an SMTP server that is outside of their network or not provided by them?
Using your ISP's SMTP server to send mail with your .Mac account should work and it may be required regardless.

Cannot send mail from mac mail or Entourage

Hi guys,
Wondered if anyone out there can shed some light on this little problem.
I use Entourage for my emails & all was working fine until yesterday. I can receive mail from all and sundry but I can't send anything. I subscribe to ntlworld internet service and if log onto my email through their webmail, then it's fine. I've tried sending mail from mac mail and I get the same problem. I've been onto microsoft support & gone through all the troubleshooting with Entourage. The Entourage techy suggested it was my internet provider blocking my emails as they think I'm a spammer?? I phoned ntl & they insist it's nothing to do with them as I can send/receive from the website. (If I send an email with the address @ntlworld it's fine, but any other address i.e. all my clients/mates etc just stays in my outbox.
Nothing on any of my settings has changed so I'm at a loss what to do next.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Mel

it may be that your server (internet provider) has just started blocking outgoing mails not authenticated by them.
Go to your account set up...
and fill in the following details.
SMTP SERVER: smtp.mac.com
then click on advanced sending otions...
click on override default SMTP port... type 587
click on SMTP servber requires authentication...
use same setting as receiving mail server.
try this...

Cannot send mail with mavericks

Hi I'm using an iMac 2011 27 in. Shawcable is my ISP. I can receive mail. I cannot send mail. I get the error "cannot connect to account myaccount, enter password for user myname" If I go into accounts in mail prefs all smtp accounts show as offline. I have been over all my settings with shaw they say problem is on my end. They say my computer isn't connecting. Anyone have any ideas?

Without in details on what you have tried, I'll throw out some things:
On the SMTP server settings, use a custom port number instead of using the default ports.
Make sure you don't have any firewall, net-nanny, or other such network blockers running.
In Mail, Open Connection Doctor from the Window menu.
Click Show Detail, then Check Again.
Note any message noted in the stoplight section, and any related to the account in the details.
You may want to sanitize any of the messages from the Details so that it doesn't give away an email account or other identifying info.

How do I send mail with mac mail

I cannot send mail from my iMac today even though I was able to do it yesterday. I am on Mountain Lion. The Connection Doctor says that one of the SMTP servers of all those I have used in the past is connected. (The "light" is green.) I suspect there is something wrong in the Mail Preferences, but I don't know where to start to fix this problem. When I tried troubleshooting a related mail problem a few weeks ago, I received an error message saying that more than one account was attached to that SMTP server. Does anyone know where I should start?

Cannot send mail with mobile mail software

I have been trying to send mail with my mobile mail software on my AOL account and my mail won't got through, But when I click on my mobile web and access my AOL email that way it allows me to send mail with no problem. The problem started today, I have an lg env3 and the latest software version of the mobile mail.

From working with other customers, the best thing to do would be to remove the email account entirely from the Mobile Email program and re-add it. If the issue persists, remove the Mobile Email application altogether and redownload it. If it still persists even after that and all other data services are working such as the browser, My Verizon, etc. call AOL Mobile Support at 866-265-3019.
I hope this helps you. Let us know if it did.

Cannot send mail with attachments-plain mail its ok. Any ideas?

Out of the blue I cannot send e-mails with attachments (any kind). Mail without attachments go out without problems.
Very weird.
I have an iMac, mac mail 5.2. and Lion.
Please help.
Thanks

Perhaps the mail server has a size limit that it allows. Might try a free web service and see if that will work for those attachments.

PC Users cannot send mail to Mac

I have had a group of PC users who get error messages when replying to my emails, some cannot even send anything to me anymore. Seems to happen in different version of Outlook. It never even gets to their server, just hangs up or stops when the try to send. Error messages include "cannot send this item" among others.

TIFF is used all the time on PCs. It's the standard uncompressed format for images.
So are properly formatted e-mail messages that conform to the MIME standard. That doesn't help anyone when sending e-mail to PC users.
I regularly send TIFFs (I hate compression artifacts) back and forth to PC users with no problems. The mail programs have no way to know what the file actually is.
In this instance, not using TIFFs seems to have fixed the problem for the original poster. I didn't want to leave this thread unresolved when this is a potential problem that other people could encounter.
I do use Thunderbird instead of Apple Mail. I'm betting your problems are related to something in Apple Mail totally unrelated to image formats.
I'm bettin' not

Cannot send mail wiith Mac Mail

Hello Team,
Hope you are all well, xmas is upon us... good times...
Had my iMac for about 1 month now - love it...
Im just having some issues setting up my mail, works perfect on my iPhone, although with the same settings on the iMac i cannot send any emails - weird.
All the settings are set up perfect, i can receive emails fine, although the sending is painful, i use password authentication and its just not sending!
Any help would be appreciated...
All software is all up to date...
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year all...

Everytime i try to send it fails...
I have tried connection doctor and it tells me simply that there is a problem with the smtp...
"Could not connect to the SMTP server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the Account Preferences"
DETAILS:
CONNECTED Dec 25 12:58:06.673 [kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelNone] -- host:mail.anarchy2007.net -- port:465 -- socket:0x1189a94f0 -- thread:0x119624040
It can't be anything with the network or ISP - my iPhone uses the same network and sends perfectly - i can only deduce that the iMac has a setting blocking a port...?

Cannot send mails with second Account

Hi,
I have 2 Mail-Accounts.
Account_A(mobileme) and
Account_B(exchange)
In the Account settings I have associated both Accounts to use there own SMTP. If I try now to send a mail with Account_B i directly become an error that the mail cannot be send over the server_B. If I hit "check connections" everything wents green, which implicates, that everything should be fine.
Now comes the funny part: In the same error Window there is a message: Send from: Account_A!
Any idea to get this working?
Info:
Yes. The settings in "Compose message" are right
Yes. Both Accounts are setup correct and work fine with iPhone and iPad
Thanks, Michael

What error message do you receive when try to send from Account_B?

Cannot send mail from .mac account in Entourage

I am a new mac user so my troubleshooting skills are very weak. Until about one week ago, i was able to send mail from both my hotmail account and my .mac account. Now, i get this error (just on my .mac account):
An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic.
i read through much of the support articles, but did not find my specific error. can anyone help??
thank you

Cannot send mail in Mac mail

On my Macbook Pro I can receive mail in Mac mail, but the sent messages sit in the Outbox. I have tried Synchronize Gmail and Connection Doctor will not allow me to connect. The only server that comes up is Gmail. Any suggestions???
Have an appointment at the Apple shop, but not until Thursday next week??? Thanks Mel

Hi Haggie
Had a similar experience but couldn't work out why macbook was working and imac not. I hate verification with bt. Anyway, tried your method and as you say eureka! Did have imac plugged in before and put it on wifi to try your fix I will try plugging broadband back in to see if that works and will post back but at the moment just enjoying the moment!
Just to say a big thank you for not only sorting the problem out but equally importantly posting the answer! Too many people sort out their problems without letting other people know how!
Many thanks

Cannot send mail with Outlook 2010

I can't send email with Outlook 2010. I can receive fine. I have a Verizon account, and my settings are those recommended. When I try to send email I eventually get a time out. I have called the Verizon techs any number of times and after working with them fruitlessly I was told to call Microsoft. Microsoft can't find the problem and said that it must be a problem that Verizon refuses to acknowledge.

I'm using MS Outlook 2010 in Win 8, Win 7, and XP. I''m using the latest settings specified by Verizon. Everything works perfectly, and has done so since since I made the changes a month or more ago.
Unless you post your specific settings, exactly as they are entered into your Outlook program, there is no way that any of the volunteers here can provide useful suggestions.

Cannot send mail with any type of attatchment

I use verizon DSL and while sending an email with an attatchment (of any size) the progress stalls at 10% and then will not send. I have spoken with Verizon and they have said that there is nothing they can do. Please help.

Since re-creating Outbox seems to have made a difference, try the following variation of that procedure now:
1. In Mail, move to another mailbox any messages in the Outbox that you wish to preserve.
2. Quit Mail.
3. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong -- e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down.
4. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
5. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/, locate Outbox.mbox and move it to the Trash.
6. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.
