Common problem and can't fix it: Can't send email

Hello wise crowd! I just switched ISP's from Earthlink to AT&T Yahoo and when I did, my Mac Mail magically couldn't send emails. The message I keep getting is: Cannot send message using the server smtp.mac.com. Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing server. All messages will use this server until you quit Mail or change your network settings.
Now I checked the materials that I got from AT&T Yahoo and port 25 is used as the outgoing mail port, 110 for incoming. So, is this something I need to get on the phone with AT&T about to hash out the settings or can somebody here guide me?? Thanks in advance...

Now I checked the materials that I got from AT&T Yahoo and
port 25 is used as the outgoing mail port, 110 for incoming.
This is for the POP type account provided by AT&T, not necessarily for an email account and SMTP server not provided by AT&T.
Sounds like AT&T blocks using an SMTP server that is outside of their network or not provided by AT&T on Port 25.
Try the following first.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below for the .Mac SMTP server.
Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
If this doesn't work, we will go to plan B.

  • The on/off button on my iPhone 5S is difficult to use.  Sometimes I have to use a golf tee to get it to shut off.  Is this a common problem and can it be fixed?

    The on/off button on my iPhone 5S is difficult to use.  Sometimes I have to use a golf tee to get it to shut off.  Is this a common problem and can it be fixed?

    I'm not sure what difference it makes if its a common problem or not but as its a hardware problem it needs to fixed so take it into an Apple store or authorized iPhone service provider and ask them what can be done.

  • TS1362 I am having trouble playing imported cds.  The tracks keep sticking which is a bit like buffering is this a common problem and can i rectify it.

    Being new to the iphone I am having trouble listening to imported cds.  The tracks keep sticking a bit like buffering.  Is this a common problem and can it be solved just by addressing a general buffering problem which I already have on youtube but have not rectified as yet.
    Thanks Kaz T

    If <alanfromnewtownards> fix fails to address the issue - turn off iMessage and Facetime in Settings.  Settings\iMessage, and Settings\facetime.
    Sync by cable to iTunes.
    Leave cable connected, open Settings\iCloud and ensure at least Mail is on and dsplays your Apple iD email -  then turn iMessage and Facetime back on.  Ensure that in the ISettings...\iMessage...\Facetime page that the Receive at field and Receive video calls at email address is the same address as your Apple I.D.
    Resync when finished.
    If still having problems with Facetime then check that the required port is open - allowing traffic in your router.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1629
    In some cases you may need to turn on Port forwarding and open the port manually to allow traffic through.  See your router documentation for details.
    If having problems verifying, open iTunes store App on your pad.  at bottom of page, click on your ID and sign in. Go to your Account details (re-veryfying and answering security questions may be required to do this) - check all details are correct.
    Finally right click your device icon in iTunes and select Reset warnings.  resync when finished.

  • TS3899 I have exceeded my sending capacity and can no send email. How do I resolve this?

    I Have exceeded my sending capacity in my ipad2 and can no longer send emails. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    If you are referring to having a message quantity sending cap imposed on your email account by your provider, will have to take it up with them. The iPad is wholly innocent of your presumed excessive verbosity.
    Might be worth checking that you have not exceeded the STORAGE capacity afforded to you by the email provider: in most cases, the mail you send gets copied in a Sent folder as well. If you are out of room, an error will spring up every time you attempt to send.
    Same can be construed if the email is set up as POP and you've overflowed the iPad's storage capacity. In this case, it is up to you to visit all the folders and purge the excess manually.

  • New iMac and can't send email

    I just bought a new iMac tonight. I have Charter ISP. I can still receive email but cannot send any. Called Charter who said they could only tell me the server setup and the rest is on Apple. They told me to use mail.charter.net or smtp.charter.net. I have done both and neither work. I received an email when I sent it to myself when logged on to the Charter server so I know email is coming my way... Mail is just not picking it up. Can anyone help me, please?!?

    Hi there,
    I had the same problem since every set up I made on the older iMac ( white ) it was working fine. On the new iMac 24" 3.06 ghz I could receive e-mails but not send although my settings were fine.
    What you need to do, at least it helped for me is when you go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) and choose edit server list.
    After this go to Advanced and make sure Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is turned off. Authentication is none.
    Try sending a mail now and it should work.

  • I can't access or send email through Thunderbird any longer (over a month) though I have checked settings and can access/send email via webmail and other device

    My cable provider changed (buy out or something) about a year ago but left my email address alone.
    Confirmed with the current carrier that my incoming/outgoing settings are correct and my email address doesn't need to be migrated.
    When I click "Get Mail," nothing happens: no error message. It has been like this for a month.
    I can check webmail, but it doesn't have my older emails or folders. I would love to get back on and spit everything out of Thunderbird. I did an internet search (including this forum) but haven't found anything useful.
    Thanks for any help.

    The iPad's Mail app has no provisions for creating groups. However, you can use a third party app that many users recommend.

    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.

    With Yahoo Mail, and anotare account (Inacap Mail), I can only receive mails but I can't send emails. I don't know if this is a problem of the iPad or it is a problem with yahoo mail, because using Gmail and the email of my job I don' have this problem.

    Google them to confirm the settings that you need for the outgoing server, then check the setting you entered on the pad.  Pay real close attention to the outgoing server name, and port.  You may need to change in on the pad. 

  • HT1296 I have the original iPhone and I can't sync the address book from my Mac to the iPhone. What should be the problem and can I sync?

    I have the original iPhone and I can't sync the address book from my Mac to the iPhone. What should be the problem and can I sync?

    Thanks a lot for the answer. I'm so upset, have no even one contact on my phone. I has to do with the moving to iCloud from MobileMe.
    I did exactly what you wrote, and when trying to click the vcf file on the iPhone the screen freezing, and then after few long seconds it goes alon to home.
    So I tried less contacts in a Vcard, and i'm dividing my address book, doing little by little and it work.
    Thank you so much.
    I still dont get why the sync with my computer address book is not working.
    And why when I moved to icloud all the photos I had next to the contacts are disappered.
    I had my iPad, which it still, I did not move from MobileMe to iCloud and all the photos are there!
    Anything I can do to use the iCloud on the iPad as well and update the iCloud with the photos?

  • My SMTP setting is gone from my iPhone and I can't send emails. How do I fix it?

    Hi,
    My SMTP setting is gone from my iPhone and I can't send emails. How do I fix it? Under my email settings the whole server part is missing and I don't know why it's gone or how that happened.
    How do I fix it?
    Thanks

    Delete the account and re-add it.
    Standard troubleshooting steps from the manual are restart, reset, restore as new.  Which ones have you tried???

    Upgrading to iOS 8.0.2 did not resolve it either.
    Erasing the iPhone and restoring from a backup did not resolve it.
    I'm not sure what else to do.
