Cannot use the server talktalk to send emails

my macbook refuses to allow the use of the server talktalk for sending emails from talktalk although I can receive them. My cloud account is working and on my ipad both work. Anyone help?

Sterling, Tried Connection Doctor but found all but the Hotmail server succeeded. Green light showed and talktalk, gmail and icloud showed " Connection and login to server succeeded". The Talktalk server ie. smtp.talktalk however would not accept my message and it would only accept it when I edited the list of servers and picked the gmail server. I've tried deleting the Talktalk account and reinstating it but without having any success. My ipad also has bother at times using the talktalk account to send messages although it receives them ok. Main difficulty arises if I have to reply to a Talktalk message that I have received. Baffling. Any help would be appreciated.

When i try to send a message in mail it says it cannot use the server. I know very little about macs and need help

i need help with the email on my mac. it says i cannot use the sever. any help would be awesome thank you

If you are trying to connect to your ISP e-mail account. The ISP will help you setup and connect to your e-mail account. So, you might want to give them a call.
Usually, when you are told that you can't use the server it means that there might be an error (either a wrong name/ address / password/ connection type/ etc.) so check your settings again...
Else you could try the following:

When I try to send email from my iPad I get the message "A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The sender address hplar45ATcomcastDOTnet was rejected by the server". Prior to this I have used the same process to send email for a year.

I have been using the iPad for email for a year. WIFI connection cannot be established for some reason, I am stuck on 3G. I am sitting next to the WIFI router.
Why can't I send email using my only email address hplar45ATcomcastDOTnet?
Why can't I get a WIFI connection?
What changed?

I can't answer why you are not able to connect to WiFi but I can tell you to try the basic things, turn WiFi off and on again, restart your iPad, reset network settings, reboot your router, forget your WiFi network and try again .....
The issue with the email is probably a password issue. Make sure that your password is entered in the incoming mail server setting and in the outgoing mail server setting as well. The outgoing server setting can be accessed by tapping on the SMTP under the Outgoing Mail Server Setting and then tapping the smtp.comcast.net in the next window under the Primary Server Setting.
The outgoing mail server setting will be in the first window when you tap on the Comcast account in the Mail settings.
Look here for a few different web sites for help with the WiFi.

System cannot find the path specified when sending emails with attachments

I've had an on going issue for some time on one of my clients whereby users will intermittently get this error "The System cannot find the path specified." when they try to send an email with an attachment.
The issue seems to arise generally (though reportedly not only when) when someone creates an email and attaches a file but leaves it for some time before finishing and sending.
The staff run in a Windows 2008 R2 full Terminal Server desktop environment on Office 2010 (32-bit 14.0.7140.5002) and several staff have reported the same issue.
I have been able to replicate the issue in their environment by creating an email and leaving it for some time.
After a fair bit of scouting around I found that if I monitor the temp directory that the attachments get placed into (content.outlook under Temporary Internet Files on user profile) and found that the directory with the attachments would disappear after
a period of time which would then cause the error where obviously Outlook could not find the file that had now gone.
I don't know of any Outlook settings that would cause this and the issue isn't related to temporary Internet files filling up as I've recreated the error on a user account where there is nothing else stored in the Temporary Internet Files.
To work around the issue I have changed the reg file that tells Outlook where to place these files (HKCU/Sofware/Microsoft/office/14.0/outlook/security - OutlookSecureTempFolder) to a location in the users home drive.
This appears to resolve the problem however I am noticing 1 issue with this. Unlike the temp folder which gets purged after a file is no longer required, the location I've changed it to does not clear out old files.
While it shouldn't be too difficult to add a script that can clear the files at log off it would be good to see if anyone may know what the cause of the problem in the first place is. I would rather it work as it should than have to bodge around changing
the folder and scripting file deletes.
Does anyone know of what maybe causing the attachments and content.outlook folder to disappear?
thanks

Do you have any redirected folder in your environment? Is the original Temporary Internet Files folder stored on a server?
Basically, the attachments remain in the Outlook Secure Temporary File folder if we exit Microsoft Outlook while email attachments are open. See:

When I log in to my hotmail account on mu apple Ipad, I see inbox only and cannot see the word ''new'' to send emails. So I can read my emails but cannot send. Where is the feature to send emails.

QUESTION : when I log into hotmail on my new ipad, I only see inbox where I retrieve my messages but cannot see the word ''New'' which would
allow me to send emails the way it would be on a desk pc. So I can retrieve my messages but cannot send ???
Thank you in advance for help.

The icon in the upper right of the screen (assuming you are using the Mail app) that looks like a square with a pen is the new message button. Tap that to create a new mail message.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

How to use the bex broadcasting to send emails

Hi Gurus,
i made a web report, in this report , i have to send an email to some directions based in what characteristic get the value = 1,
example:
       KF
x=    1        send email to   pp@....
y=    1        send email to   gg@....
The web report is ready, now how can i use the bex broadcasting to do this funtion, please step by step, i'll really appreciate it! thanks !

Hi Jorge,
I am not a guru still would like to answer your query...
You selected Broadcast by E-Mail as the distribution type when you created the broadcast setting then need to send to your systems administrator, he is the one who is responsibile to make this if and then functions coordinate with him-> Various settings need to be made in system administration in order to use information broadcasting. Furthermore, there are a number of broadcast functions that can be made by business experts and in system administration.
If you want to guide him then.. when you make the precalculations for setting the broadcast there in Variable Assignment you can mention this as a formula
Variable Assignment: You can create values for the BI objectu2019s input-ready variables (Query, Query View, Report, or Web Application). The BI object is precalculated using these variable values. These variable values are set whenever an online link is opened.
Take from Variant: You can select from a variant for the BI object (Query, Query View, Report, or Web Application). The BI object is precalculated with the values of the variant. These variable values are set in accordance with the variant whenever an online link is opened
To be honest I think Basis should help you trace where exactly to mention such request...

HT1694 Hotmail- cannot use the delete key to delete email using my iPad

I have the new iPad. I use hotmail and everything was fine for a couple of months. Today I tried to delete an email from the deleted folder but the delete button did not work. Then I tried to delete an email from the inbox and that didn't work either. Help!

Hi joseph,
I too faced a similar kind of a problem since the event data_changed is not trigerred but when i again clicked on the button the event trigerred , what i am trying to convey is if you double click on the push button with 3 seconds gap between clicks then the desired functionality works ( It worked for me ).
Just try if this works for you.

When I first began using the Razr I could send email to groups that I had set up in my Google account. I can no longer get this function to work.

I can do this function on the PC using my Google Gmail account which accesses my personal email account. << Personal information removed to comply with Verizon Wireless Terms of Service >> I had been able at first to forward email go groups on my Droid Razr when away from my PC.

"cannot send email message using the server icloud" on 10.6.8

I use mail from my desktop, not from iCloud on the Internet. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. My mail was working fine until yesterday.
It says "Cannot send message using the server iCloud. connections to the server smtp.me.com on the default ports timed out. Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below.
The list has:
ICloud offline
and Icloud
Neither of them work.
What has Apple changed regarding this in September?
(I know others have posted similar message, but they were on 10.7)

Same problem here.
Recently an @icloud.com version (alias) of my existing @me.com email address appeared on my account. I can still send messages form the OSX build in Mail client as long as I am using the @me.com version of my email, but I do get this message when I try to use the new @icloud.com account.
My account with iCloud states that both @me.com and @icloud.com versions of my email are active.
Would be nice to know if this is a temporary problem of if this is a permanent one.
The settings on the outgoing mail server are default as retrieved from apple when I configured the @me.com email for the first time. I went through the troubleshooting suggestions as provided on Apple website, double checking all the settings, no joy. At the very list I can still use the old @me.com alias with no problem (for now)

OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages - Apple Support
Google Mail recently implemented additional security measures "for your protection" of course. The manifestation of that may be the requirement to create a unique, "application-specific" password for each one of the various Google services you may use. That requirement probably includes Google Mail. So if the above Apple Support document doesn't resolve the problem, research Google's application-specific password requirements, and how to configure Mail to use it.
I asked the Hosts to edit or obscure the email address in your post.

HT1277 I can recieve emails but I can't send them out. The blue bar at the bottom left of the Mail page gets half way across and then the pop-up "Cannot send message using the server" comes up? What do I do?

I have my Yahoo Mail "poped" over to Apple Mail. I can recieve emails but I can't send them out. The blue bar at the bottom left of the Mail page gets half way across and then the pop-up "Cannot send message using the server" comes up? What do I do?

Your outgoing mail server is different than your incoming server. Usually the outgoing mail server will have smtp in it. I noticed yours said "cannot send message using the server mail.wavecable.com". That sounds like an incoming mail server. Try setting your outgoing mail server to smtp.wavecable.com
I hope that helps.

"Cannot send message using the server....."

Hi all,
Considering the nature of the problem I am about to relate I would have to say at the outset that I would be very very surprised if other people have not come across this problem, so here goes...
We have around 60 users of Apple Mail from both 10.4 and 10.5, so varying degrees of versions of Apple Mail however most if not all are updated to 10.4.11 and 10.5.2.
We have been plagued with people being frustrated about emails bouncing back with an immediate error which is basically the following...
"Cannot send message using the server smtp.xxx.com:user
Sending the message content to the server failed.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below etc etc"
I am sure a lot of you have seen this error.
However, it is totally random but I am at the end of my tether with it. It generally revolves around emails with attachments and can be totally random. I was trying to send a screenshot today, very small screenshot, using the Apple-Shift-4 technique, sent the .png file, then saved it out as a .jpg, nothing. Tiny file, around 5k. Got the error above, took it out, sent no problem. Other similar files on the desktop refused to send but a .pdf did. I then thought it might be our server, so sent teh same attachments using my .mac account. Same result and failed to send. Reports from other users in our group show that they too get random results, maybe moving the attachment in the email makes it go, sometimes putting it before your signature, sometimes putting your signature copied and pasted in so many times makes it work, all sorts of methods but all resulting in the same conclusion, Apple Mail can be very unreliable.
We have even migrated some users to Entourage and the problem disappears. Even to Thunderbird, but those users miss the search capability as it is quicker and more reliable. So they want to go back.
Considering I have been struggling with this issue back in the day when we were on the Apple Mail related version in 10.4 I was hoping that the version released in 10.5 would remedy the problems. Sometimes I feel it has just got worse.
Is anyone else experiencing this sort of difficulty in Apple Mail, I really feel isolated and at a loss with how to remedy this for so many users.
If anyone can share their experiences and how they have got around similar issues in Mail I am all ears and open to any suggestions.
Thanks everyone for taking the time to read through this. There is more but the experiences are so random it is not worth trying to put it all down.
Thanks again.

I went in to Connection Doctor and. oddly enough, for this Mac account it said I was on Port 25. Si I changed it to Port 587 and saved the changes.
Still, I have the same problem with the same error messages.
I go back to the mail preferences > Accounts > Advanced and it shows Port 143 still there grayed out.
What about SSL - it's not checked.
Odd that this problem only seems to be from one .mac account emailing to another .mac account. Could the server be down?

Cannot send message using the server (null)

i use mail 2.1.
i have a .mac account and have three other email accounts attached to my mail account.
lately, i cannot send any email.
the switchiing ports fix hasn't helped either.
this is the error message:
CANNOT SEND MESSAGE USING THE SERVER (null)
The server response was: 5.1.0 <email [email protected]>...
From address does not match authentication.
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: email <[email protected]>
Send message using: [there is a combo box here with all the four accounts servers listed]
no matter which one i pick it doesn't work and no email is sent.
anyone have this error before? or now how to fix it?
i'd be appreciative.
thanks

I was having a similar problem (don't feel like typing all the details)
I was about to to delete my com.apple.mail.plist, when finally it hit me.
I ran ethereal (again, I'm sorry, but learning how to use ethereal is a topic unto itself). Following the TCP stream (ie. looking at the smtp messages being sent back and forth) I came across two problems. For some reason my port number was set to 567 or something like that, when it's supposed to be 25, as I had originally set it to.
Once I corrected the port number I started receiving an error message from the smtp server. It said the return email address could not be authenticated. (using xyz.com as an example) The correct return email address was supposed to be [email protected], but for some reason it was changed to john@xyz in the account settings.
Anyway, to get to the point, another thing to check is that your return address has been set correctly, and if all else fails, make sure you have X11 installed and use fink to install and run ethereal. This will let you know if you are actually connecting to the server, and will show you any error messages.
PS. I think this problem started occurring with the last update made to mail. I believe it somehow corrupted my settings. This would explain how my port number could have been changed to the default port number of .mac mail.

OSX Mail - Cannot send message using the server ....

Hi there,
Mac Pro with OSX 10.6.
*Can receive mail, but can no longer send email* using the program Mail.
Been getting the popup "Cannot send message using the server [shawmail.vc.shawcable.net] for the past 3 days. I hadn't changed anything about my computer, and have had the Mac for 2+ years. So this just started doing it on it's own.
I had a technical support guy from my service provider even interface with my computer, where he could see my desktop right over the internet, and he couldn't get it fixed either.
I googled this problem, and found solutions like:
1. Uncheck "Use SSL" (Done that, and it was never checked "on" to begin with)
2. Make sure Authentication is set to none, with no password (done that, and it wasn't set with a password to begin with)
3. Delete [user]/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (done that, didn't do anything)
4. We even totally deleted my account, and started a new fresh one. Didn't work
The tech support guy did show me a way to email online, using the same email account. That worked, but it's a hassle to go onto a web-based email program -- it's not my preference. So, with great certainty, it's not my service provider, because I was able to send emails on this web-based email program using my email account.
So there, I'm stumped.
Hopefully someone can help. What's bizarre is that googling this problem, I have found many other people that say it happens arbitrarily, out of nowhere.

I can't believe how ridiculous this issue is. i have been searching for days for a solution to this. i have tried EVERY recommendation on these forums and nothing works. It appears that this issue dates back to TIGER. I had this problem back in January and just bagged figuring it had something to do with iweb. I bought a new html program and was able to send out my newsletter last month no problem. Suddenly, one month later- here i am again, unable to send out my newsletter with no help from Apple or verizon, or these forims, or anyone else. To think that a company that I have stood behind and loved so much can't be be bothered fixing such a simple issue that has been going on now through 5 OS's (I am using Lion but I had the issue using leopard as well) is a disgrace.
