Cannot Send Y!Mail through Mail Please Help!
Hi, I've tried everything on the Yahoo help page but I still can't send mail through my Mac mail client but I can receive mails. I tried to use these settings
My Yahoo! Mail address (karty18 (at) yahoo (dot) com)
Here are the basic server settings for Yahoo! Mail:
Incoming Mail (POP3) Server: plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, port: 995)
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, default port: 25, 465, 587, use authentication)
Account Name/Login Name: Your Yahoo! Mail ID (karty18)
Password: My Yahoo! Mail password (yes, my password is correct)
Still it doesn't work. I also tried the outgoing mail server: "Yahoo! SMTP Server" still no luck.
And finally I tried to use custom port 587 just incase my IP is blocking port 465... no luck still. and for some reason when I select either outgoing server, it says offline in parenthesis but my mail accounts are all online (weird).
I can receive mail alright but I cannot send. Please help me. I don't know what else to do from here. Thanks much.
Some might find this useful.
If you have a .co.uk address with Yahoo instead of .com, you can retrieve and send mail via the mail app using a free yahoo account.
I have been doing this for years.

When I am on my home wifi I can send e-mail. When I am not on my home e-mail but on a wifi network or using the 3g network I cannot send e-mail. HELP HOW TO FIX.
I know this question is a few years old now, but I recently found myself having the exact same issues;
Using my iphone or ipad at home created no problems at all, but I couldn't send e mails when away from my home network.
I recently switched broadband supplier at home and set up a new e mail address, then my problems began!
I openly admit I'm not great with technology and, to be honest, some of the answers provided on these forums confuse me more than the questions!
But this worked for me:
I went along the lines that the fault wasn't with my idevice but possibly with the broadband provider (in my case Plusnet) so I contacted their customer support.
They referred me to the set up process shown below;
From your home screen press Settings.
From the setting menu, choose Mail, Contacts, Calendars followed by Add Account…
From the Add Account… menu choose Other.
Fill in your Full Name, Email Address, Password and Description and press Next.If you need help with these, there's more detail underneath the screenshot.
Full name: Enter your name (or the name you'd like people to see when you send them email)
Email Address: Enter the address you're setting up, this could be a Plusnet address ([email protected]) or a hosted domain address ([email protected])
Password: Enter the password for your email address (I don't know what this is)
Description: Enter a useful description of the email address you're setting up (e.g. Mum's email). You can put whatever you want here
Press Next to continue.
More settings will appear. Some will already be filled in.Enter the Incoming and Outgoing Mail Server details and press Next. If you need help with these, there's more detail underneath the screenshot.
IMAP/POP This will default to IMAP - it's up to you which one you want to use (I don't know what to choose)
Incoming Mail Server settings
Host Name: For IMAP this is imap.plus.net - for POP, this is mail.plus.net
User Name & Password: Enter the username and password for the email address you're setting up (I don't know what these are)
Outgoing Mail Server settings
Host Name: relay.plus.net
User Name & Password: These are optional, but if you want to send mail while on the move (e.g. while connected to mobile or wireless networks), we recommend filling these in.Enter the username and password for the email address you're setting up (I don't know what these are)
When you're finished, press Next.
If the box shown below appears, press Yes (you may need to do this twice).
After a minute or two, your email address will be set up and ready to use.If you chose IMAP when setting up you’ll be able to choose whether you want to use Notes (if you chose POP you’ll be taken back to the settings screen from step 2). Press Save when you’re done.
That's all you need to do. To start checking your email, go back to your home screen and press Mail.
Now I fully understand that it may be different for each broadband provider but the processes must be similar.
The key appears to be in setting up the outgoing message server settings in step 5. Where it says "optional, but if you want to send mail while on the move (e.g. while connected to mobile or wireless networks), we recommend filling these in.
http://www.plus.net/support/email/setup/ios-setup.shtml#pagetop
Where it says "we recommend" I think it should read "you must fill these in"
I went back to Settings - Mail,Contacts, Calenders - click on the offending account and click on the account shown.
Under OUTGOING MAIL SERVER click on the server, in my case relay.plus.net, and click again to show the details. make sure you enter your user name and password and after a few seconds the account will verify and show a load of ticks.
I tried this on my phone this morning while on 3G only. I sent an email to another of my addresses and immediately got the response that the message couldn't be sent as the recipient was rejected and the message had been placed in my Outbox. I followed the above steps and immediately heard the satisfying "whoosh" as my mail was sent. 10 seconds later another satisying beep as my e mail arrived at my alternate account.
Hope this helps anyone else with a similar problem. -

Hello ,
I want to write a program that gets
the the user email (the server of the email , it's username and passowrd)
and the reciver email , and the message , and sending the message from the
user's email to the reciver email.
But I want to write by myself a class that connects to the user's email
and not to use Smtp classes....
(I know how to use Sockets , etc...)
But I actually dont know where to start from...
Okay ,I know that first of all I need to get from ther user the server of his email , his username
and his password.
(I will take Gmail for example)
So I create a Socket
Socket mySocker = null;
try
mySocket = new Socket("smtp.gmail.com" , 465);
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
System.err.println("Don't know about host : Gmail.");
System.exit(1);
} catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println("Couldn't get I/O for the connection to: Gmail.");
System.exit(1);
}but from here , how do I connect the user's email with the password and the username that he gave me..?duffymo wrote:

(I know how to use Sockets , etc...)If you're going to connect to SMTP servers, you'll make a socket connection to the default port and then....send....SMTP commands....so.....it'll.....understand.....you.
Geez, if you want to learn how to write SMTP from scratch this makes sense, but if you just want to send e-mail I'd reconsider and just download JavaMail.
%I am not doing it becuase I need it , I am doing to train :)
and do you have any list of SMTP commads or somthing like that?? -
When I compose and send a mail, it gets placed in Outbox and I get a prompt stating something like "relating the message is not supported". Even if I compose a newest age, it says the vey same thing. I just cannot send any response through my mail account. Can anyone help with a solution?
You haven't set up the SMTP (outgoing) mail server correctly. You probably didn't enter your user ID and password for the outgoing server. They are needed even though it says "optional".

Terminal Command is not allowing me to send mail - please help
I (foolishly) entered these two commands based on this article to try to receive read receipts and now I cannot send any mail at all (http://email.about.com/od/macosxmailtips/qt/etrequestrecp.htm)
defaults read com.apple.mail UserHeaders
defaults write com.apple.mail UserHeaders '{"Disposition-Notification-To" = "Name <email@address>"; }'
I did try the command in the article to undo this command, but it's not working. Any help would be appreciated - thanksHi Christine, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist

I upgraded to a newer version of firefox. My ISP is Comcast.

The problem started after I upgraded to the higher version.
Thank you,

My phone is: 313 882-9785If it's a thin 1 pixel wide vertical line it's highly likely it could be caused by a defective LCD.
One quick basic way to check is to note the position of the line. Then go to System Preferences, Displays, and lower the resolution. If ther line moves it's on the video and the logic board or video card if fitted is likely to be defective. If the line stays in the same position it's likely to be an LCD fault. Either way to have it repaired you'll need to visit an Apple store or AASP.
The worst offender for this problem is the Late 2006 17" iMac. FOC replacement of the LCD used to be covered by a quality program, but it's now ended.

TS3276 Cannot send e-mail ,all parameters OK?
Anyone have the same problem? Cannot send e-mail, but all e-mail settings appear OK.
Check thru here:

Some times deleting and recreating the account can help this, Mail preferences/accounts, write down all the info ina all fields, and all tabs.
Delete the account from the left column highlight the acct and click the minus symbol at the bottom, reboot, then open Mail preferences accts, click the plus symbol and recreate the acct.
If no joy call your provider, maybe they may have changed some of the settings that you need. -

I am using 10.4.7 and i cannot send any mail from mail program. No problem sending with Entourage (settings are the same). Also, when I type in a message in Mail, as soon as i type a space, i cannot add anything after that - strange.
G5 Dual Mac OS X (10.4.7)This problem in Mail is usually caused by some Launch Services cache or preferences corruption. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services -- the notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved:
Resetting Launch Services
If you prefer using a cache cleaning utility instead of following the manual procedure described in the previous article, this other article provides links to some utilities that can be used for troubleshooting and cache cleaning:
Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
It seems that the most appropriate utility for solving this particular problem is Tiger Cache Cleaner, but you may also want to consider other utilities, such as OnyX, or Cache Out X, which are free. Whatever utility you choose, be sure to read this first:
Side effects of System cache cleaning
As an example, this is how you should proceed with OnyX:
1. Quit all applications.
2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
3. Click Maintenance. In the Reset section, check LaunchServices database.
4. You may uncheck any other pre-checked options if you wish.
5. Click the Execute button.
6. Restart the computer.
7. If the problem persists, try again checking the Links between documents and applications option in step 3 instead. -
