Change smtp settings

I can't change my iCloud smtp settings for some reason. It's all greyed out. I can't send email through iCloud either. I have checked ny iCloud account and it's verified, but when I try to send email it comes up with "can't send email, check settings at mail contact calendars? Very strange as its been working ally day

It appears that at least 1 server was not working for awhile. Seems to be working now.

Changing smtp settings and account selection in Mail

I've just begun tinkering with Applescript... but not for fun! I'm not a programmer but I understand some VERY basic things about scripting.
I need a way to set the smtp USER NAME for a specific account in Mail to a different user name. (I would select the user name from a dialog and I figured out that part.) None of the other settings will change. Is there a way to do this? Of course there must be -- I was able to set the user name for the incoming mail server but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this for the outgoing!
Also, I would like Applescript to change the account that the frontmost message will be sent from. I don't want it to be the default account in this instance. Is that possible? I haven't been able to even come close to figuring that out.
One last thing: How do you concatenate a string in AppleScript? For example (where aVariable = "01"):
"johnsmith_" & aVariable & "@mydomain.com"
result I want: "[email protected]"
I was able to figure out how to assign a value to "aVariable" but I couldn't tell if I was using the correct method for stringing everything together. The line generated an error but I couldn't tell where I messed up.
It's been interesting and promising but also very frustrating so any help would be appreciated.

> Outgoing servers are different - despite the smtp server appearing to be part of the 'Account' settings, they're not. There's a separate class for smtp server'.
In this case, to set the username used to authenticate against your SMTP server you'd do soemthing like:
set user name of smtp server "my.company.net" to "johndoe"
If I have multiple email accounts all accessing the same smtp server but with different user names, how does it know which one to change? I tried something like this...
<pre class=command>set user name of smtp server "my.company.net" of account "Account #3" to "[email protected]"</pre>
(BTW: My smtp server uses complete email addresses in the username field so I changed it just to make it clearer for myself)
But I get this error:
<pre>Mail got an error: NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4</pre>
> > Also, I would like Applescript to change the account that the frontmost message will be sent from
Hmm, I can't see this off-hand, either. I'll keep digging.
It would be nice if there was something. Optionally, I might be able to work changing the DEFAULT account to another account into my "workflow" instead. Is that any easier to find?
> You have it right. The & is used to concatenate strings. ... I'm not sure why it would generate a message, unless 'aVariable' wasn't what you thought. What did the error message say?
Unfortunately I don't remember anymore -- I was getting so many errors, it's all a blur now... and I already deleted the code. There was probably something else wrong in the line. I've tried concatenating elsewhere since then and it worked fine but I didn't think to try that before asking.
Thanks for the help!

SMTP settings don't change

Hi community.
I have a problem after changing my mail account and mail server settings because I moved my email addresses to another server. (The old server collected all my emails from various servers and kept them. Now I reverted that step to get rid of this particular server.)
After moving all emails from one to another mail server, which worked without problems, I switch it off. Then I changed the email settings on Mac, iPhone and iPad. Connecting to the new IMAP server and receiving emails works fine. While sending emails on Mac and iPad also works properly, I cannot send emails on my iPhone. The error message says:
>> Cannot Send Mail: The user name or password for "SMTP:[email protected]" is incorrect. <<
I can understand that these information are incorrect now. What I cannot understand is why the iPhone not just tries to take the new information I entered.
What I've done on my iPhone so far:
- Changed credentials and server for IMAP and SMTP.
- Deleted the accounts from the iPhone and created new ones.
- Reset my iPhone completely and restored it from iCloud backup.
No luck with any of these approaches.
Unfortunately the iPhone didn't bother keeping some of my apps and app settings after restoring, but it still sticks to the old account information regarding SMTP.
Is there a way to wipe the SMTP settings (or maybe even all email related settings) without having to start without backup and install and customise everything from the scratch?
My devices here:
- MacBook Pro with Mavericks
- iPad 4 16GB with iOS 8.1 (12B410)
- iPhone 5 16GB with iOS 8.1 (12B411)
Thanks in advance,
Rob

As for the suggestion that I contact tech support, I tried that. I was simply unable to convince any of the several Verizon representatives that this was a throughput issue. This "Rick" I spoke to was very, very adamant that Verizon's only obligation was to provide email access from the Verizon website, and that if I could see the website Verizon had done everything it was supposed to do. And he was the supposedly high-level tech guy who seemed to know as much about the internet as my 10 year old. I gather his specialty was in helping people who didn't know how to set up POP clients, which wasn't and isn't my problem.
The service went out entirely after the most recent storm (this is on Madison Ave in Manhattan -- we don't have any lines above ground, and not too many trees outside of Central Park), but when it came back up the email seemed to work OK and the websites seemed to load better, though we now seem to be right back where we were.
There's definitely some kind of pause (latency-seeming) before emails go out that is not present when we access the internet via any other provider. The pause is similar to the site-loading delay.
I'm SURE it's my POP3 settings, Rick from tech support.
Call back and don't mention email at all. Show them the speed test results you are getting and some of the sites that aren't loading. Saying "email" sometimes puts tech in email troubleshooting mode, and it can be difficult to get them off of that track. You shouldn't have to be sneaky to get support, but sometimes you just have to.

Can't reset SMTP settings on account preferences - inactive/gray

I hope you can help.
It looks like Mail was updated (great in theory, bad in practice), and now I can't send from Mail. I get the error message : "SMTP settings are not sete, please use Accounts Preferences panle to set SMTP options.
So, I dig out my incoming server, pop.mail.yahoo.com and my ourtiong mail SMTP server info: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
But when I go to Preferences/Accounts, it won't let me make any changes. All the fields are gray and inactive, except for "E-mail aliases" which I tried and nothing happened.
Help! All advice is greatly appreciated!
Amy

Amy,
First of all, I don't know what you mean by "Mail has updated"-- please explain? if you mean Mail has suddenly opened as though new, then you may have an issue with available free space on your hard drive, or if partitioned, on the boot partition. Check free space if this is what happened.
As for the grayed out entry info, it appears you proceeded into setting up the account in the Preferences with the Account Type set to .mac, which of course, is not what you would use for a Yahoo account.
More info, please.

Yes, the message is legitimate, and yes, you must eventually change server settings as described. You may find this onerous, and you're not the first person to face this issue, but eventually it must be done.
This topic has really been beaten to death in the forums. I'd say your best bet is to type "thunderbird" into the "Ask the Community" search box at the top of the page and start reading. There's a vast amount of detail there.
My impression is that just about everyone eventually gets the settings right, after which the system works as desired. Still it may take some doing. Good luck.

SMTP Settings in production environment

Hi,
This is my first project in BPM. I want to know the way how - SMTP settings are managed in Production environment. My concern is if I want to deploy my proces on to some other engine, is there any way so that I do not need to manually set the SMTP settings for new engine.
Thanks & Regarsd,

I created external resource for SMTP server, which gets deployed with process & can be changed from Enterprise. I used this external resource while sending an email from my process.

Thanks! Very comprehensive and easy to follow guide.
I followed it.
But im still unable to get it to work.
-Email send/rcv is possible to a freeware version of MAIL-ENABLE mail server by peoplesoft. But its not working for gmail.
-Email send/rcv to gmail (google app) account is also working fine from the server when using it thru Thunderbird email client or Outlook.
Some possible issues:
- i used the certificate from GMAIL.com (https://mail.google.com....) ; not Google Accounts ( https://accounts.google.com....)
- as in image 230.png of your blogpost; my root certificate name was not GeoTrust, it was Equifax Secure CA.
- i entered the password in all forms; plain, ciphered, ciphered with quotes, ciphered without {V1.1} tag...none worked
- i used PSCipher from another PS instance running on my desktop- as i do not have access to web-server and its folder on this setup

Duplicating SMTP settings in Mail

I have four different email accounts with my ISP. They do not allow me to use a single SMTP server; that is, if I have
myname @myISP.com
adifferentname @myISP.com
anotheraddress @myISP.com
finalname @myISP.com
I can't simply use the SMTP settings for myname @myISP.com for all four of them: I have to create SMTP servers for each and every one of those email accounts (if the email address doesn't match the User Name--i.e., adifferentname @myISP.com with myname & password--the SMTP server rejects it). Since the settings are identical except for the User Name, is there any way to simply duplicate an existing SMTP server setting and just change the user name info?

Ok, let me be exact. I use GoDaddy as my ISP I have several email account created there. I have one set up on my apple mail and works fine. ([email protected]). I opened a new account with the exact settings ([email protected]) only the name different and passwords are different. All the same settings, SSL ports etc. One works the other not. OMG now my comcast.net account is also timing out!

SMTP Settings when NOT On Verizon FIOS

I've had an ongoing issue with the SMTP settings in Microsoft Outlook. When I'm ON FIOS I have to check "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication". When I take my laptop to work or somewhere NOT on FIOS I have to uncheck that setting. Is there an alternate to outgoing.verizon.net that I can use the same bloody settings on no matter where I'm at?!??!! Thanks!

I have never had to change my SMTP settings when leaving the Verizon Network. Server Requires Authentication should always have to be checked. I can send via a client on any connection with my settings this way.
I have no answer either, but I agree with somegirl, I have never had to change any settings when I am off the Verizon network. I have a weekend house in AT&T DSL territory, plus free wi-fi access via a local cable ISP, and my normal settings with authentication turned on work fine on them for sending and receiving emails.Never any email issues other than I had to get AT&T to allow me to use a non-AT&T outgoing email server while using their network. And when I have used wi-fi access in hotels it has always worked just fine too.
To the original poster:
Probably not at all related, but what port do you have defined for the outgoing server? I used to have port 25 but changed that to 587 some months ago as Verizon supposedly has begun the process of changing from port 25 to 587 in an effort to reduce spam generated on the Verizon network.
This is certainly a mystery to me. I hope you will let us know what the resolution is once you find it.

Change SMTP port to 587 doesn't work

Hi,
my ISP blocks port 25, ok and no problem - not for the iphone.
When i change port 25 to 587 it checks the config - works.
After i gone back in the menu the account list, to save the settings, (still in the settings) and go again to the SMTP settings, port 587 has changed to port 25.
Using iOS 4.
Some ideas?
I think the "smash the iphone" method should be the best - self created SSL certs make some problems to the mail.app and so on - very bad. Works under OS X but not on iOS. Never mind, it's ok if i could save atm the port 587.
Cheers

Still the same...
Port 465 changes also back to 25.
My provider @ home needs port 25, ever other port won't work.
Outside i have to use port 465 or 587, but these ports don't be saved - i could only send 1 mail (wich is currently pending to send) after change the settings.

Smtp settings

Hi,
I'm trying to setup my Virgin Media mail account on my iPad2 and I know that I have to change the SMTP port but I can't see any way of doing that. I'm sure I must be missing something obvious:
I select Settings > Mail... > Accounts > Add Account > Other > Add Mail account and complete my details
On selecting Next the verification fails and I choose 'No' to try setting up without SSL (if I select Yes it just hangs for ages and eventually fails)
In the IMAP settings screen I then enter the correct host names, but I can't see anyway of changing the SMTP settings. There's no 'Advanced' button and other articles I've read talk about clicking on the SMTP address but doing that just edits the text for me.
Any ideas?
Thanks

It should work on both mobile network and WiFi.

Smtp settings correct; outgoing email still not working

Every time I change providers, I have problems with my SMTP settings. I moved, had to change to AT&T. I got the recommended settings from AT&T, entered them for both incoming (POP) and outgoing (smtp.att.yahoo.com); port for incoming: 955; port for outgoing: 465; Connection security: SSL/TLS; authentication: no authentication & password (neither work). I called AT&T and they said everything is set correctly. I can RECEIVE messages, but can't SEND them. If I use AT&T's e-mail to send messages, it works - but T-bird still doesn't work. What am I missing?

looking at at&t site I see inbound and outbound in addressing att.net
'''att.net''' inbound.att.net / 995 outbound.att.net / 465 (POP3)

SMTP Settings for Podcast Producer

Recently our University changed email providers, which required us to change settings on our devices. I updated the SMTP settings in Podcast Producer to reflect the new service, however I am no longer receiving the administrator emails whenever XGrid starts or starts a job.
Here's the rub... the user notification emails are working fine using the same SMTP settings. Is there somewhere else that SMTP settings are stored in Podcast Producer that I missed? I am able to ping the SMTP server fine with no problems.

Hi. Welcome to the forums.
In order to send emails from your talktalk email account, you will almost certainly need to go down the address verification route to associate your TT email address with your BTmail account - as it's very unlikely you will be able to use the TT mail servers to send emails from a BTinternet account.
See my shortcuts (link below) option 0e for some help.
However with the new BTMail - the Yahoo! system will be changing and being replaced with a different provider, hence the info provided may actually not be relevant to very new customers.
Receipt of TT emails is unchanged as you've probably noticed. However the TT address may at some time in the future cease, meaning receipt will then fail - however with address verification - sending from the account will still work!

SMTP settings no longer work

Up until recently, the following SMTP settings worked fine for sending emails:
Server: smtp.mail.me.com
port: 587
Authenticate with user email and password is sent with user typically being <user>@mac.com
Require SSL
Now, I am getting a fail to send error message" "The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was 5.7.0 No AUTH command has been given".
Does anyone have any idea what is going on or if there is a different port now in use or ???
Thanks!

"Virtually Nothing" has posted a solution to this in a separate thread. I don't know how to link to it so have cut and pasted below. By following these instructions I was immediately able to get icloud mail working on the Windows Phone 7 & 8 devices (I've not yet tried Outlook on Windows 8).
Hopefully you'll have similar luck with this. It's worth searching on the thread that goes with the message below just to get some additional context from others. Seems like a messy way to get something fixed.

    SSL Required: Yes
    Port: 993
    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    Password: Your iCloud password

    Server name: p06-smtp.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    Port: 587
    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    Password: Your iCloud password
