Comcast & Apple Mail not sending

Hi, I added a Comcast accout to Apple Mail 5.0 in Mac OS X Lion 10.7.1, and once i did, i recieved my emails that were stored on the comcast accout. However, when i try to send an email from Apple Mail using the Comcast outgoing server: smtp.comcast.net, the spinning wheel of death keeps spinning next to the tab in the sidebar marked Sent. And even trying to quit Apple Mail doesnt fix it, when i relaunch it its still spinning. I checked the Connection Doctor under Window>Connection Doctor and it says "Connecting to Server..." but never connects.... Help?! I have already tried deleteing it and starting over but nothing is working, im afraid to try it again in fear of getting the spinning wheel of death. Any tips would be helpful. Thank You!
BTW System Info:
Macbook Pro 13-inch mid 2010
Mac OS 10.7.1
Mail 5.0

  • Apple Mail not sending Gmail Imap

    Hey I have Gmail on my Apple Mail using Imap and it was working fine until about a week ago when it stopped sending so I tried re-adding an Imap account but cant even create one
    Anyone else had this problem, any ideas?

    Hello,
    What size are these attachments & what extention/file type are they?
    gMail has been known to refuse say .zip files, & of course attachments over a certain size.
    One big drawback on Apple Mail is that if you have a malformed or non compliant eMail, it'll prevent anything beyond that, just keeps trying & failing to progress to the next one.
    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 this 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
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
    Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

  • Apple Mail not sending

    I have a number of different email accounts, each using its own SMTP or IMAP outgoing mail server, including two Gmail accounts. I've been on 10.5.2 for a few weeks, and suddenly, Mail is not sending email. After pressing Send they just sit in the outbox.
    I've rebuilt preferences, deleted and added back the outgoing servers. Nothing works.

    Bob - I have a similar problem...I can send small messages, but anything over about 50KB times out. Mail app in Tiger works fine, but I've had this sending problem since the Leopard upgrade. You may find some help, perhaps, at the following links:

  • Apple Mail not sending with the selected from address

    I have Apple Mail 6.2 on a MacBook Pro with ML 10.8.2.
    I have sever email accounts set up.
    I cannot get Apple Mail to properly use a given accout in the from.
    No matter what from account I what Apple mail to be from, the received email shows one of the other not selected accounts.
    So this means that the reciever replies to the wron & not intentded address.
    Example:
    I do an email in the [email protected] account & select [email protected] as the from address.
    The reciever will see the email from another address in Apple mail like [email protected] that I did not select.
    How do I get the Apple mail from email address to be the one I want the reciever to reply to?

    By associating each account with the correct smtp server.
    You have 2 gmail accounts, so 2 gmail smtp connectors, set them correctly.

  • Apple Mail not sending email something about port 25

    I am a brand new iMac user. I am unable to use the native iMac mail. When I try to send a message it says something about not being able to send mail...port 25. Any ideas. Is there some kind of set up I need to do? I have a high speed Internet connection and it is working just fine.
    Please help.
    -Brett

    This is a common issue between your mail provider and your internet provider. It sounds like your ISP isn't letting you use port 25 to send outgoing mail, which is quite common now, since some internet worms use that port.
    Check with your mail provider to see if you can use an alternate port for SMTP (outgoing mail). One possible port is 587. You can set this in Mail Preferences, under Accounts, then Server Settings.

    You are at least the second person to post the same thing today, so I don't know if there are problems with it. You clicked on the link to send reset info to your rescue email address as shown in steps 1 to 5 of the page that you posted from, and you've checked your spam folder as well as your Inbox ?

  • Mail not sending pics correctly

    why does my apple mail program send pics that can't be opened by PC users. sometimes if I send pictures as "icons" they will open on the other end but that only works once in a while. Any pictures I receive from anyone else open on my end but I have had problems sending pictures ever since I got a Mac. Is something set wrong on my mail program?? Thanks for any help. jetRed

    Hello,
    Please confirm whether you are in fact running 10.2.x (Jaguar)? Any advice anyone can provide will have to be in relation to that.
    Assuming your info is correct, let me suggest that you consider several things:
    Is this a new message or a forward?
    Are you placing all photo attachments last in the message, and NOT typing or using the Return key between them or after the last one?
    Are you using a Signature? If so, does your Signature have any HTML within it?
    Have the photos been saved to include a Mac type Preview or Thumbnail? If so try saving without any such specialized metadata.
    Keep in mind this forum is for Mail 2.0 and later, and you might get better answers in this forum:

    However, let me know if you post a new Topic in that forum, and I will follow you there with other thoughts, if needed.

  • Since moving to iCloud my mail not sending attachments any answers?

    Hi
    Since moving to iCloud my mail not sending attachments any answers?

    After the migration I started having problems with all NON Apple things.
    Now, as of July, 6th this is my situation:
    Lion devices and iOS5 devices (MacBook, MacPro, iPhone 4s and iPad I) - fine
    have a look here for info:
    AUTOMATIC SETUP FOR APPLE MAIL ON LION MACS
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html
    Snow Leopard - set up after some trouble using these instructions:
    OLDER SERVER FOR APPLE MAIL ON PRE OS 10.7 MACS
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5330
    Non Apple clients should work with these instructions but I still cannot get MailForge to work:
    SERVERS FOR GENERIC EMAIL CLIENTS
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
    MOBILE NON APPLE STUFF
    With my HP (Palm) Pre 3 I am still figuring out why every single day they change the servers:
    this however might help you as the Palm is more similar to the BB than the iPhone:
    PALM PRE 3 SETTINGS: I also have updated the password on iCloud, deleted the old iCloud account on the Pre, created a new one. Please note that it now sends using the older server, I do not know for how long.

  • Out going mail not sending in mavericks

    I've had this problem since upgrading to mavericks, mail not sending and the sntp server showing off line.
    I"VE FIXED IT!!!!
    Guys hope this helps, the ports show default - 25, 465, 585 in edit smtp settings. Check the next box down - use this port and type in 25, I know its in the default list but its sent my mail when using the custom port.
    Hope this helps, I spent all day yesterday on to my server supplier and onto chat with Apple in US but couldnt solve it.
    Best of luck!!

    For the past few weeks, I have been noticing a similar problem: access to 11 email accounts, and three domains, is blocked on occasion. According to my web hosting company, this is happening because some process was attempting to connect via port 585, an insecure IMAP port; and that an automatic firewall rule was invoked to block those attempts. The blocking would last for about one hour after the last attempt was made to connect.
    I'm running Mavericks. If I quit Mail, then restarted one hour later, the problem was resolved. UNTIL Mail attempted to connect to my mail servers, upon which the blocks were triggered again.
    I downloaded Little Snitch. It told me, unsurprisingly at this point, that three email accounts were attempting to use port 585 to connect to their mail server. But I DON'T USE IMAP with those accounts! Why Mail is attempting to connect to a port which I haven't configured it to use is the puzzle.
    The solution for me: tell Little Snitch to deny any access via port 585.

  • I have another apple ID but I forgot the password and apple does not send the link to reset it to my email. What do I do to have it back?

    I have another apple ID but I forgot the password and apple does not send the link to reset it to my email. What do I do to have it back? It is really important.

    If you know the answers to your security question for the ID you can use that method to reset the password rather than email (by going to https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid).
    If you don't, you'll have to contact iTunes Store support for assistance: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.  They frequently deal with Apple ID issues.
